Orientation, Onboarding & Agreement
Volume 4; Issue 1; Welcome!
Requirements included in this newsletter!
A Message From The Director
Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year!
Thank you for choosing Northwest Indiana Online School (NWIOS) for your child. Indiana Code requires caregivers (parents, guardians, etc.) and students enrolled in an online school to attend Orientation and Onboarding meetings. Both meetings are required for ALL students, even if you are returning to NWIOS.
The Orientation Meeting will be held virtually (see #1 below) and the Onboarding (back-to-school) Meetings are in person.
If you didn't click on the button above, now is the time to click on this link to complete the following:
- Watch the required orientation videos prepared by Edmentum, our partner in NWIOS. You only need to watch the video that is appropriate for the grade of your child. If you have a child in Kindergarten through 5th grade AND a child in 6th - 12th grade, you will need to watch both.
- Select one onboarding (back-to-school) meeting to attend. Again, Indiana Code does require the student and their caregiver to attend the onboarding meetings every year. The Onboarding Meetings will be held at the former Chesterton Middle School, enter through Door 4, off of Morgan Avenue.
- Read the agreement. You will have an opportunity to sign the document at the Onboarding Meeting.
Again, we are glad you selected NWIOS as your school of choice. The next NWI News will include A LOT of links and information about NWIOS!
I look forward to meeting you or seeing you again at the Onboarding Meetings.
Educationally Yours,
Christy M. Jarka,
Director of the Trojan Learning Center
--including Northwest Indiana Online School.
