JA In A Day Homeschool Edition
Event Completed!
When: Tuesday, March 12, 2024
Where: Indiana Tech - Snyder Academic Center
Time: 8:30 AM ET
JA in a Day - Homeschool Edition provides homeschool students in Pre-K (ages 4 and 5) through 12th grade the opportunity to receive the JA in-school programs in one fun-filled day of learning! The cost of this is $5 per student, max fee $25 per family (non-refundable). Registration ends on Sunday, March 3rd or until 200 students are enrolled. There is no pre-curriculum to be delivered prior to the day of the event.
Check-in begins at 8:15 AM. At check-in, you will receive an agenda for the day, a campus map, and a nametag for each student. Parents who are not volunteering are not required to stay on campus during the program. After check-in, there will be a short welcome by Junior Achievement staff. After the welcome, students will break out into their classes and begin the JA program.
Lunch will be provided for all students and parent volunteers in attendance. If you would prefer to pack a lunch for your student, you are more than welcome to do so. We will also have snacks for the day provided by Indiana Tech, which will consist of an apple, granola bar, fruit snack, and a water bottle. Please notify us of any dietary restrictions when prompted when on the registration form.
All JA programs will finish at 1:30 PM. Please check-out with a JA staff member at 1:35 PM to pick up your student(s).

*Note: If there are not enough high school students registered in a program to make a full class, we will combine grade levels in order to have enough students. If we combine grade levels, we will try to make sure that your student receives a different program than he or she did last year.
If your student is between grade levels and has not participated in a JA program previously, you may choose to select the grade level most appropriate for his or her age, or you may contact Kortney Castleman at (260) 484-2543 for help in deciding what program would be the best fit for your student.
