Welcome to the 2nd semester of 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. This is a requirement for ALL NEW students enrolling in NWIOS.
The Orientation Meeting will be held virtually (see #1 below) and the Onboarding (back-to-school) Meetings are in person or virtually.
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 Trojan Learning Center, which is the south parking lot of the former Chesterton Middle School. Park between the football field and the tennis courts. Then, enter through Door 9, off of Morgan Avenue.
- Students in Grades. 9 -12, due to scheduling, your onboarding sessions will take place on January 13 & 14. This will allow time for your classes to be loaded into the platform, and for you to get your login informatin.
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.
