Alternative Methods of Instruction (AMI)

In response to the passage of SB 727, several school districts are now utilizing AMI to meet the number of student contact days outlined in the legislation.

We will notify families through as many communication methods as we can. This will include messaging families through Infinite Campus (phone, email, text), so please be sure to consistently check your messages and/or Campus Parent Portal inbox messages. In addition, AMI information will be made available on our district Facebook page(s) and this page.

If students do not complete the AMI lesson or learning activity according to teacher expectation for a particular day(s), he/she will be counted absent for that school calendar date. This absence will count toward and be treated as a normal absence if school were open.

DESE has approved NCSD to utilize up to five (5) AMI days as necessary. These will likely be used in the first 5 snow days the District declares.

Only particular buildings will provide these activities through student Chromebooks and when feasible. If AMI learning material cannot be made available through technology due to a household's / family's lack of reliable internet access, paper packets of learning activities will be made available. Some district buildings will not be sharing learning activities through technology; they will be sending home paper packets. Please see each building's AMI Plan below to understand their process.
