Dear NWI Families,
As mentioned in previous newsletters NWIOS does not provide middle of the semester report cards. Families will receive semester report cards after the second grading period--or first semester--ends in December. Remember, at any time you are able to see your child's progress through the weekly updates that outline the current course grade and relationship to pacing. You can also log into the system everyday to see progress. Check out the helpful resources at the end of this newsletter.
Middle of the semester is a good time to review goals however and possibly set new ones for a path to success. Good goals take these easy steps.
Vision: Set a goal - Think about the results you want to see. Before you set a goal, take a closer look at what you're trying to achieve.
Visual: Write your goals down - Then, put the goals in a place where you see them regularly.
Plan: Create an action plan. A good plan includes steps needed to achieve the goal.
Time: Get out a calendar. Develop a timeline or schedule for when you will be working on and want to achieve the goal. Also set time aside to work on it.
Act: Take action. You’ve set a goal, written it down, and created a plan. Now It's time to get busy and get working on your plan.
Monitor: Create a checklist to help you stay on track. Re-evaluate and assess your progress. Hold yourself accountable to stay on track.
As a caregiver, how can you help?
If your child needs help staying on pace. Then, help them create a daily schedule and weekly check-ins with you.
Does your child need help with grades? Then, make sure they are attending the live class sessions, participating in the overview sessions, rewatching the recordings, redoing assignments and taking the time to complete their assignments.
Whatever the goal may be, take the time to set some and teach them how to do so. These are skills that span across a lifetime.
Thank you for choosing Northwest Indiana Online School for your child(ren).

Candy Collection for U. S. Troops
Once again, Hurst Orthodontics, PC will collect Halloween candy in our schools to be donated to a non-profit organization called Supporters of the Military (SOM). For the last 22 years, the candy has been shipped to US soldiers serving both domestic and abroad. This year, many Indiana veterans will also enjoy the candy. Many of the candy recipients have been Indiana National Guard members, as well as members of the US Army, Air Force, Navy and Marines.
Last year Hurst Orthodontics, PC, with the help of local schools, other community organizations and the public collected a total of 632 pounds of candy for the troops.
Candy donation boxes will be placed in each school beginning on Tuesday, October 29 - November 7. Donations from the public are welcome. Letters and cards for the troops from the students would be very welcome as well.
