Attention Jr Berry parents.
The Indiana General Assembly recently passed legislation regarding child abuse instruction. Senate Enrolled Act 355 requires that by December 15, 2018, and by each December 15 thereafter, schools will provide age-appropriate, research and evidence-based instruction on child abuse and child sexual abuse to students in Kindergarten through Grade 12.
LJHS will be using Welcome to Safer, Smarter Teens - Personal Power - Middle School Curriculum created by the nonprofit organization Lauren’s Kids to fulfill this state requirement.
If you feel that your child should not participate in this program, please contact a school counselor to request an opt-out permission slip. If you have additional questions about Safer, Smarter Teens - Personal Power - Middle School Curriculum or the new legislative requirement, feel free to reach out to one of your school counselors listed below.

Atención padres de Jr Berries.
La Asamblea General de Indiana aprobó recientemente una legislación sobre la instrucción sobre el abuso infantil. La Ley de Inscripción Senatorial 355 requiere que para el 15 de diciembre de 2018, y cada 15 de diciembre a partir de entonces, las escuelas proporcionen instrucción basada en evidencia y de investigación apropiada para la edad sobre el abuso infantil y el abuso sexual infantil a los estudiantes desde el jardín de infantes hasta el grado 12.
LJHS utilizará Bienvenido a adolescentes más seguros e inteligentes - Poder personal - Plan de estudios de la escuela secundaria creado por la organización sin fines de lucro Lauren’s Kids para cumplir con este requisito estatal.
Si cree que su hijo no debería participar en este programa, comuníquese con un consejero escolar para solicitar una hoja de permiso de exclusión voluntaria.

Free Online Tutoring Available for Indiana Students
Indiana Department of Education Launches Partnership with Schoolhouse.world
INDIANAPOLIS — The Indiana Department of Education today announced a new partnership with Schoolhouse.world to support students in grades eight through 12 with free tutoring for SAT preparation, math courses and Advanced Placement (AP) courses.
“All students learn differently, and many need some level of extra support at different points in time,” said Dr. Katie Jenner, Indiana Secretary of Education. “This partnership provides access to personalized tutoring 24/7 at the click of a mouse. As we work to recover from significant learning impacts due to COVID-19, particularly in mathematics, this partnership with Schoolhouse.world will provide Hoosier students -- no matter where they are or the needs they face -- access to additional learning support.”
Schoolhouse.world was launched in early 2020 by Sal Khan, also founder of Khan Academy, in response to COVID-19 learning disruptions. The nonprofit connects students with live, small-group tutoring through Zoom at no cost. Tutoring currently focuses on SAT reading, writing and math, with a math focus on pre-algebra, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, pre-calculus, calculus and statistics. Support is also available for AP courses including AP Calculus, AP Statistics, AP Chemistry, AP Biology, AP Physics and AP Computer Science.
“We are excited to partner with the Indiana Department of Education to provide free tutoring to students across Indiana,” said Drew Bent, chief operating officer of Schoolhouse.world. “No matter where you are in the state, or what resources you may have, we want to help you receive the support that you need.”
In addition to resources through Schoolhouse.world, Khan Academy and College Board offer free SAT practice resources. This free resource comes as all Indiana high school juniors prepare to take the SAT this spring. Students can visit Official SAT Practice on Khan Academy – a personalized online program that helps students practice for the SAT with thousands of sample questions, instant feedback, video lessons and full-length practice tests. Nationwide, more than 10 million students have signed up for free SAT practice through Khan Academy.
To learn more about these learning resources, and to sign up for a tutoring session, visit www.schoolhouse.world or www.khanacademy.org.
