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.

We are glad you selected NWIOS as your school of choice. I strongly suggest bookmarking this newsletter. It will come in handy when you're looking for the links.

I look forward to meeting you at our Onboarding Meeting.

Educationally Yours,

Christy M. Jarka,

Director of the Trojan Learning Center

--including Northwest Indiana Online School.

Students attending Northwest Indiana Online School will receive a report card at the end of the semester instead of at each grading period. In addition, you will see different ways that Edmentum reports "grades."

• Current Grade: The assignments that have been submitted AND graded.
• Course Grade: This is the grade that you would see on the report card.
• Target Grade: If your student remains on their current path, this is the projected end of the course grade.

IMPORTANT: ON PACE DOES NOT EQUAL A PASSING GRADE
