Elementary School Boundaries Under Review
When the Kingsford Heights’ renovation and new Crichfi eld school projects were approved, a commitment was made to examine elementary boundaries. The LaPorte Community School Corporation has since fi nalized a strategic plan, which includes the 2007-2008 school year goal: to optimize school size and population.
In response to this goal, the committee listed below, represented by LaPorte Community School Corporation administrators, teachers, and parents from each elementary school, was formed to work with consultants from the architectural fi rm of Fanning-Howey to prepare a recommendation to the Board of School Trustees on how this will most effectively be achieved.

HANDLEY ELEMENTARY RECEIVES NATIONAL RECOGNITION
NAMED TITLE I DISTINGUISHED SCHOOL FOR CONSISTENT HIGH ACHIEVEMENT
Representatives from the Indiana Department of the Education surprised students, faculty, and staff at a local elementary school with a national recognition. LaPorte Community School Corporation’s Handley Elementary School joins 60 schools honored nationwide as Title I Distinguished Schools by the U.S. Department of Education and the National Association of State Title I Directors.
“We know that all students can meet high standards when given the extra help they need to succeed, and the dedicated professionals at Handley Elementary serve as a fi rst-rate example of that principle in action,” Superintendent of Public Instruction Suellen Reed said.
Title I is the largest federal-aid program in K-12 education. Serving over 150 million children nationwide, the program helps provide additional support in reading, writing and mathematics. Since 1996, the Title I Distinguished Schools program has honored Title I schools that demonstrated exceptional progress in either sustained student achievement or closing the achievement gap.
To be considered for the honor, the schools must have a poverty rate of at least 40 percent and be nominated by the individual state’s Title I programs. Once nominated by their state, the schools submit data covering the last three years of achievement, along with a one-page school description. A national panel composed of State Title I Directors selects the fi nal winners.
The Indiana Department of Education’s Title I offi ce identifi ed the top schools statewide through a review of student achievement data, an examination of Adequate Yearly Progress data, telephone interviews with school principals, and on-site school visits. Schools considered for the honor must demonstrate the following: · Opportunity for all children to meet profi cient and advanced levels of performance; · Strong professional development; · Coordination with other programs; · Curriculum and instruction to support achievement of high standards; and · Partnerships among schools, parents and communities.
“Schools like Handley Elementary are using approaches, programs, and creative education techniques that work,” Indiana Title I Director Lee Ann Kwiatkowski said. “They should be very proud of this accomplishment.”
In addition to receiving a high-performing school grant award and an honorary plaque, representatives from the Distinguished Title I schools will be recognized at the National Title I Conference in January. Visit www.TitleI.org for feature stories on individual schools and information on best practices.
Pictured are LPCSC Associate Superintendent Dr. Dennis Shawver, Handley student Matt Beamon, Title I Consultant Teresa Neely, Handley Title I Teacher Amy Lestinsky, LPCSC Coordinator for Instructional Programs and Assessment Patty Steele, Title I Consultant Lenee Reedus, Handley student Joey Tomal, Title I Director Lee Ann Kwiatkowski, and Handley Principal Dottie Davis.

State Honors LaPorte High School Counseling Program
The Indiana Gold Star School Counseling Program named LaPorte High School one of fourteen Indiana schools to receive the Indiana Gold Star School Award in 2007. The program, an initiative of the Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) with the support of the Indiana Student Achievement Institute (ISAI), aims to raise student achievement by improving school counseling. The offi cial award presentation will be at the Indiana School Counselor Association (ISCA) fall conference in Indianapolis on November 2, 2007.
“Indiana’s Gold Star Schools demonstrate the intensive work local communities are doing in collaboration with school counselors to remove the barriers to learning so that all students can fi nd success in school,” IDOE School Counselor Consultant Matt Fleck said. “We praise LaPorte High School for understanding the tremendous impact that professional school counselors can have in helping students achieve school success and plan for college and a career.”
LaPorte High School joins a total of 90 Indiana elementary, middle and high schools that have received the Gold Star Award since its inception in 1997. Six years later, IDOE began offering professional development opportunities for schools interested in aligning their counseling program with the Gold Star model. Schools that participate in the program choose either a four-part workshop series or an online video workshop course to help them make the transformation to the Indiana Gold Star School Counseling model.
All Indiana Gold Star schools are eligible to receive the nation’s highest recognition - the American School Counselor Association’s Recognized ASCA Model Program or RAMP Award. The award demonstrates that a school is “committed to delivering a comprehensive, data-driven school counseling program.” In June, 48 Indiana schools received the RAMP Award, making Indiana the state with the highest number of RAMP Award recipients in the country.
To qualify for both awards, LaPorte High School submitted a portfolio with documentation that it meets the nine program standards found in Indiana’s Program Standards for School Counseling.
Additionally, members of the LaPorte High School Gold Star Steering Team attended seven training sessions during the 2006-2007 school year and learned how to implement the Gold Star School Counseling model. Students, teachers, parents and community members who serve on the local School Counseling Advisory Council also took part in the initiative. This group provided valuable input and feedback as the Gold Star School Counseling initiative was being developed.
“The school counselors and others at LaPorte High School have worked hard to ensure that students have an accountable school counseling program that meets their academic, career and citizenship development needs,” Sue Reynolds, Executive Director of the Indiana Student Achievement Institute said. “These educators and community members are truly dedicated to the community’s young people and are going the ‘extra mile’ to help students succeed.”
For more information about the local initiative, please contact LPHS Associate Principal, John Shei.

Test Your TECH-KNOWLEDGE-Y
Did you know that the LaPorte Community School Corporation has almost 2,300 desktop computers being used in classrooms and offi ces across our school corporation? Add to that another 345 laptops, 38 servers, miles of cable, and a multitude of software programs and you begin to see the important part technology plays in the operation of our schools and the education of our children.
Computers are not the only technology being used to facilitate teaching and learning. Did you know that the LaPorte schools currently have 53 SmartBoards being used in our classrooms and that another 28 will be installed by the end of this month? These interactive whiteboards are allowing teachers to engage students in ways never before possible. By projecting a computer image onto the whiteboard, students and teachers can annotate, manipulate, organize, and control the image by touch. The “record” feature on these boards enables students to record a sequence of events for play back and review later.
The Corporation also has over 150 digital projectors and 20 visual presenters being used to project computer images, PowerPoint presentations, interactive programs, educational video clips, and 3D objects to large screens in our classrooms. A corporation subscription to United Streaming, an online video distribution service from Discovery Education, provides to the desktop on demand over 40,000 educational videos covering all subjects and grade levels. Have you ever been able to count the spots on a ladybug or the legs on an insect? The visual presenters make that possible by magnifying and projecting an object to a large screen for easy viewing.
In addition, did you know…?
: Remote Response Systems, known by our students as “clickers”, are being used by many of our
teachers to engage student learners and promote classroom participation.
: Digital Communications classes at the high school teach voice recognition, handwriting recognition
with tablet PCs, and Palm handhelds.
: Project Lead the Way classes at the middle and high schools teach Computer Aided Design, (CAD).
: Geography classes at the high school use GPS technology to explore our world.
: Special Education classes use a variety of adaptive technologies to assist students with special needs.
: Music students learn production and composition skills using the new midi lab installed this summer.
: Science and math classes use probeware, graphing calculators, and interactive online programming.
: The list goes on and on.
Technology enhanced classrooms not only help students learn, they help educators improve classroom productivity and equip students with the skills and knowledge they will need tomorrow.
The LaPorte Community School Corporation is committed to providing the technology tools and resources that will prepare students for the challenges of the future.
SmartBoards and “clickers” engage students in day to day learning activites throughout LaPorte Community Schools.

about how our state legislature works and how students can
make a difference at all levels of government. He also spoke

they apply to school. Students received work ethic posters and booklets about fi nding and keeping their fi rst
job.
Mr. Brad Boughner from Wells Fargo Bank, a fi nancial contributor to the LaPorte PNC College Bound
program, spoke on fi nancial responsibility and told the students that they are not too young to begin thinking
about it. Mr. Boughner explained the different types of savings plans and stressed the need for “good credit
right out of the starting blocks.” A new Wells Fargo service was also presented; check-less checking accounts
for students under the age of 18.
On August 16, 2007, the fi rst annual PNC College
Bound barbecue was held at LaPorte High School.
Participating students and their parents enjoyed
food and beverages while they listened to a short
presentation about the upcoming year’s events.
Dr. Judith DeMuth, LPCSC Superintendent, and Dr. Jeff Jones, PNC Assistant Vice Chancellor for Enrollment
Management, shared comments on the success of this program and the importance of the students continuing

National Merit Scholarship Commendation
LaPorte High School announced that Kelsey Adams and Jesse Ault
have each been named a Commended Student in the 2008 National
Merit Scholarship Program. A Letter of Commendation from the
school and National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC), which
conducts the program, will be presented by Mr. Greg Handel, principal,
and Jennifer Hunt, counselor, to these scholastically talented seniors.
About 34,000 Commended Students throughout the nation are being recognized for their exceptional
academic promise. Although they will not continue in the 2008 competition for National Merit Scholarships,
Commended Students placed among the top fi ve percent of more than 1.4 million students who entered the
2008 competition by taking the 2006 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/
NMSQT).
“The young people named Commended Students in the 2008 National Merit Scholarship Program are
distinguished by their strong academic performance in this rigorous competition,” commented a spokesperson
for NMSC. “Our nation’s pursuit of educational excellence can be furthered by publicly honoring these
outstanding students and by acknowledging the important role schools play in fostering their development. We
hope that this recognition will contribute to their educational opportunities and encourage all students to strive
to realize their potential.”

Teachers Enjoy Professional Development Day Presented by Peers and Chicago Troupe
Staff Involvement: Key to Successful Teaching!
LaPorte Community School Corporation hosted a full day professional staff development in-service on Tuesday, October 9th for all staff members at LaPorte High School.
The day began with three 1 hour sessions presented by LPCSC staff members on ‘Best Practice’ topics ranging from “Smart Board Handy Hints” to “Using Ruby Payne Strategies.” Staff members were able to register in advance to attend three sessions of their choice.
The afternoon session entitled “Standards….And Deliver!” was presented by WAVELENGTH, an ensemble of actors who tour nationally presenting programs for staff development using comedy, improvisational structures and audience participation. The actors introduced fi ve strategies which staff members can use to engage students in the classroom. Citing that creativity is dampened daily by fear as educators struggle to meet standards, Wavelength introduced basic improvisational ideas to transform classrooms into places where trust, spontaneity and imagination prevail. Using these ideas, staff members can engage students in learning so standards are delivered in a meaningful manner and attained.

LPCSC Proudly Announces Two New Preschool Programs
LaPorte Community School Corporation is pleased to announce the addition of preschool programs at Hailmann Elementary School, 1001 E. Ohio Street, and Lincoln Elementary School, 402 Harrison Street.
Both programs are available to children who turned four years old by August 1, 2007. Hailmann ‘Husky Pups’ preschool is available to students who live within the Hailmann district and the Lincoln ‘Little Lions’ preschool is available to children who live in the Lincoln School attendance area. There is no charge for these programs.
Mrs. Shelly Otwinowski, a licensed teacher with 16 years experience, is the Preschool Facilitator, and Mrs. Tonya James is the assistant.
Together they provide the necessary skills and opportunities for children to become successful learners in kindergarten.
The curriculum is based on the belief that young children learn best by doing. Weekly theme based projects allow the children to develop the necessary skills needed for kindergarten in all areas
of learning – literacy, math, science, and creative arts. Circle time, learning centers, singing and dancing, and large motor play are part of the daily routines. The program curriculum consists of hands-on learning centers, learning-based games, story time, songs, computers, arts and crafts, and numerous other exploratory activities to build the skills needed for kindergarten.
The Husky Pups’ sessions are held on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays and the Little Lions’ sessions are held on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Morning classes meet from 8:35 a.m. to 11:05 a.m. and the afternoon classes meet from 12:35 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.

Project Wisdom
A new program at Boston and Kesling Middle Schools this school year
will implement character education. Project Wisdom is a program
designed to encourage students to think about themselves and the world
around them. The program includes a collection of thought-provoking
messages which will be broadcast over WBMS and WKMS every day.
These messages will help students build their “character muscles,”
reminding them to be responsible, trustworthy, courteous, and caring
human beings.
Students will be encouraged to think about the
choices they make and the consequences of those
choices. This program will motivate students to be
the best they can be while they learn to tolerate,
and maybe even celebrate, differences in others.
The messages contain wisdom from cultures,
races, and religions from around the globe
proving that everyone has something positive and
constructive to contribute to the betterment of our
world.
Students trained in public speaking will read the “words of wisdom”
each day and teachers will follow up with discussion and activities
during P.A.W.S. (“Positive Attitudes Weave Success”) at Boston and
during KOMET time at Kesling. Many of the topics will relate well to the
WorkEthic program as well.
This is another step being taken to educate the “whole” student, inspire
life-long learners, and promote good character.
Over 1,800 online tutors are available
on demand, every day, for one-to-one
help with everything from homework
to skills building and test prep.
Tutors in all subjects are available:
Algebra * Calculus * Geometry *
Trigonometry * Physics * Chemistry *
and more...
* Get online help when you need it.
* No appointments needed, ever.
* Meet with an online tutor for as
long or as short as you want.
* Feel more confi dent in school
and improve your grades.
