Financial Aid Night January 25th
FSA ID for College Bound Students
We'd like to encourage students and parents to create FSA IDs as soon as possible before starting their FAFSA form. Send students and parents to StudentAid.gov/fsa-id/create-account to create an FSA ID.
The Federal Government is telling us that the FAFSA will be available sometime in December, so keep an eye out for information about that!

Message from Mr. Burke, Secondary Exceptional Learning Coordinator
Did you know that here at Chesterton High School and RISE Academy we have 14 Teachers of Record serving students who receive special education services? TORs provide a liaison between families and the school. They are responsible for annual IEPs, progress monitoring on goals, and communication with other teachers. This is on top of their regular teaching course load. There are over 300 students at the high school who have IEPs. Support for students here at CHS ranges from consult and check-ins to direct special education classes. Supported classrooms are also a benefit to many struggling students, both those in general education and special education. In these classes, students receive instruction within the general education setting, but with special education support in the classroom. These teaching teams work together to reinforce concepts, present information in a variety of ways, and provide students with their accommodations.
This great team of teachers just became a part of the Duneland School Corporation this year, and are now truly 100% of the high school team of faculty. They are a great asset to the school system and provide an invaluable resource.
Get Involved!
Check out the many clubs and sports offered at CHS! If you can't find a club that you are interested in, consider starting one!
