A Message From The Director A Message From The Director

Dear NWI Families,


It's College Go Week! During the upcoming week (September 23 -27, 2024) many Indiana universities and colleges waive their application fee for students to apply to their institution for FREE.


NEW THIS YEAR: Our Duneland Team will offer in-person support sessions throughout the school year. During these sessions our DSC team will help students and parents navigate through Edmentum, provide academic support, and help students get caught up with their assignments. If there is time, we would also like for our students to interact with one another.


Because we have added several new students, we have dates of our first three sessions: Monday, September 23, Wednesday, October 2, and Wednesday, October 9. The sessions will be held from 12:30 pm - 2:30 pm at the Trojan Learning Center. These work sessions are available for new and returning students. Parents are welcome to attend, too. Please see more information. We ask that you RSVP to this sessions.


Thank you for choosing Northwest Indiana Online School for your child(ren).


Mrs. Christy Jarka, Director, & The NWIOS Team
