ZT Family,

As I am sure you have seen, we are going to be on NTI tomorrow, January 30, 2026.

Starting on Monday, we will be available for any family in grades K-4 that needs to enroll in a school for next year. Remember, we will have support on site until 5:30 pm this Wednesday, February 4, to assist families in this process as well.

Finally, if you haven't already done so, please fill out the Comprehensive School Survey. Even though ZT is closing at the end of the year, I will still get the data and use this information to grow as a school leader.

NTI DAY | Today, our teams spent the day evaluating road conditions and school campuses across the District. While many main roads remain in good shape, several side streets and neighborhood roadways are still icy.

These conditions have led us to utilize another Non-Traditional Instruction (NTI) day on Friday, January 30. Students should follow their school-specific NTI instructions. NTI days are recognized as standard instructional days and will not extend the school calendar.

All athletic and extracurricular activities are canceled for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

ZT Guardians,

Please click on the link or scan the QR code to complete the Comprehensive School Survey. The district will use this information when making decisions about next year.

I know ZT won't be here next year, but the district can use the feedback. Also, no matter where I land, I will use the feedback about school leadership to help me grow as a school leader.

If we can get our parent/guardian participation rate to 80%, we will have a reward for all of the students.

Thank you,
Mrs. Cravens

❄ NTI DAYS | After evaluating road conditions throughout the community, Wednesday, Jan. 28 and Thursday, Jan. 29, 2026, will be Non-Traditional Instruction (NTI) Days for JCPS students and staff.

While our crews report that most main roads are in good shape, many side streets and neighborhood roads across the county remain hazardous. Due to these lingering conditions and low temperatures, we believe transitioning to NTI is the safest choice for our students and staff.

Students should follow their school’s established NTI protocols. NTI days are recognized as standard instructional days and will not extend the school calendar.

All after school athletic and extracurricular activities are canceled for Wednesday and Thursday. If there are any changes to the YMCA CEP program, families will be notified by YMCA CEP.

Thank you for your continued patience and flexibility as we navigate these winter conditions. Please stay warm and safe.
