What is “NTI”?
The Non-Traditional Instruction Program (NTI) is a program that encourages the continuation of academic instruction on days when school would otherwise be cancelled. Russellville Independent has created plans to deliver instruction to every student in the district and provide for student and teacher interaction on NTI days, with the ultimate goal of continuing instruction during the current precautionary measures being taken statewide.
Russellville High School and the RISD encourage you to use theRussellville High School NTI Dashboardto find school work, stay connected with the school, get updates both from the school and state, and have access to the many available resources currently in place.

What does a student at RHS have to do during these NTI Days?
During NTI Days, all students at RHS are still “going to school”, but are doing so from home.
Each weekday from Monday, March 16 through Thursday, April 2 is a school day.
During these days, students at RHS will be assigned work digitally by their teachers. That work can be foundHERE or can be navigated to through theRHS NTI Dashboard.
RHS teachers will be posting daily work and/or updates. Every class at RHS will have at least one grade entered per week which will count towards students 4th Quarter Grade (The 4th Quarter started on Wednesday (March 11) of last week).
Students are expected to keep up with the work loads presented by teachers and due dates as they are assigned.
Athletics and Extracurriculars?
Athletics - The Kentucky High School Athletic Association (KHSAA) instituted a stop of all athletic activities for Middle and High Schools in Kentucky effective from March through April 12. This includes any organized gathering or scheduled activities. There will be no practices, games, individual lessons, fundraisers or on-campus/off-campus scheduled activities during this time. You may read the KHSAA rulingHERE.
Extracurriculars - Per RISD Superintendent Flener, all RISD Extracurriculars will practice the same stoppage guidelines issued by the KHSAA for athletics. RHS understands that this will have an adverse effect on the Spring Musical in particular and plans are in the works for alternate dates and scheduling.
Student Meals
Meals will be available to all RISD students Monday through Friday. Families may completeTHIS FORMif they would like the meals delivered to their homes.
Students may also pickup meals at either Stevenson Elementary or in the lobby of Russellville High School at the following times:
8:00 - 8:45 Breakfast
10:00 - 11:45 Lunch
Students do not have to pick meals up from the school they attend. Any RISD student may pick up their meals at either location.
Student Assistance - Family Needs
