March Newsletter
Indy Learning Center, Grades K-8
Welcome to the Hoosier Academy Newsletter
Welcome to March!! We are certainly lucky to have missed all the horrendous winter weather we could have had this year. I and the staff at Hoosier Academy would like to thank you for your efforts to get your students to school even when the weather was questionable! We will be having ILEARN testing coming up, and as such, we have several preparation strategies occurring all over the building! Some easy tips for parents to help prepare students for testing are: Make sure they eat a solid breakfast, get plenty of sleep, and remember the strategies their teachers have been showing them. As always, contact the school with any questions you may have!
Best Regards,
Principal Miranda Tolentino

Indiana Department of Education Survey
Our district values your feedback! We are currently surveying Hoosier Academy families in order to gain insight into your perception of our school and district effectiveness. To ensure we continue to provide high quality, rigorous learning experiences that meet the needs of our learners and prepare them for college and career, we need your feedback. We want to know what you think. Our district has partnered with Panorama Education to conduct our 2019-2020 Family Survey. Panorama safeguards your privacy, keeping your responses confidential. The survey shouldn’t take more than a few minutes to complete, and will be a valuable source of information for us as we work to make our schools and district as good as they can be.
