“Excellence through Choice” defines the reinvention of
Lawrence Township Schools. It characterizes our focus
on bringing exceptional learning opportunities into the
classrooms of the Metropolitan School District of
Lawrence Township. It also represents the numerous
experiences we have designed for our students as we
provide school choice in our elementary schools.
These innovative educational opportunities will develop
each child into a self-directed, inquisitive learner and
an active, creative collaborator.
This unique design provides Lawrence Township
families and children authentic options for new learning
experiences of high rigor. As a parent, your encourage-
ment and enthusiasm will assist in maximizing these
enhanced, relevant opportunities for each child.
As we move forward into this new era of education
excellence in Lawrence Township, we will be refocusing
on the school district’s vision and goals for the future.
The success of each child in our school system is the
greatest priority. It is to this end that we pledge our
commitment to you.
We offer our very best wishes for a successful school
year to you, your family, and your children. We
believe that together we can shape a remarkable
future for the children of Lawrence Township.
Sincerely,
Concetta Raimondi, Ed.D.
Superintendent of Schools

W H A T I S A M A G N E T S C H O O L ?
n most Indiana public school systems, students attend the school nearest their home or the one to which they are assigned. Magnet schools offer a unique area of focus and give opportunity for family choice. Each magnet school’s area of focus enhances the core curriculum.
MSD Lawrence Township created a system that allows families to attend their assigned neighborhood magnet school if that is their desire OR apply to attend another magnet school with a different area of focus. The magnet schools offer:
• Eleven neighborhood magnet schools catering to a wide range of student talents and interests
• Diverse, rigorous curriculum
• Partnerships with respected local and national institutions
• Transportation for all Lawrence Township students
• Simple and fair application process
All elementary students (Grades 1-6) are assigned to a neighborhood magnet school.* Students may attend their assigned neighborhood magnet school without completing an online application. Families looking for options other than their assigned neighborhood magnet school may apply to another magnet school located on the same side of the district in which they reside. Students may also apply to Forest Glen School
of Spanish Immersion, which is open to all students in the district. Please refer to page 22 for more application information.
Families unsure of their child’s assigned neighborhood magnet school should visit www.ltschools.org/maps-boundaries or call the MSD Lawrence Township Welcome Center at 317-423-8209.
*Some students with specific educational needs may have another school recommended to them other than their assigned school in order to receive those services.

ASSIGNED NEIGHBORHOOD MAGNET SCHOOL MSDLT Definition: MSD Lawrence Township assigns each elementary school student to a school. Each student is guaranteed a spot in his/her assigned neighborhood magnet school. Implication: If a student initially chooses to attend his assigned school, then a spot is guaranteed at that school. If a student applies and is placed at a different magnet school then wishes to transfer back to his assigned school, he/she will need to wait until the next school year. In order to return to your neighborhood magnet school, please contact your current principal prior to June 1st to complete the form. We will strictly adhere to the deadline.MAGNET SCHOOL MSDLT Definition: A magnet school is a school with a specialized curriculum that may attract a student population beyond the neighborhood. Implication: Student placement in a magnet school is done via the random computerized admittance process.FOCUS MSDLT Definition: Each elementary school has a unique area of focus that enhances the curriculum. Implication: As an example, a student enrolled in a School of Environmental Studies will experience more learning around this big idea. Other schools will address environmental studies as it relates to the grade level standards, but students at a school with this focus will have it infused into all subjects on a regular basis.SISTER SCHOOLS MSDLT Definition: Each magnet school on the west side of the district has a sister school on the east side of the district. They share the same area of focus. Implication: Each magnet has a sister school except Forest Glen since it is a district wide magnet school.COMPUTERIZED ADMITTANCE PROCESS (CAP) MSDLT Definition: This process (CAP) is run when there are more applicants than there are spots for students at a choice or magnet school. This is a random selection done by computer. Implication: Maximum enrollments for each school and grade level determine if openings are available for applicants to be accepted.ENROLLMENT CAP MSDLT Definition: An enrollment cap refers to the number of students who can be served in a program or school. Many factors impact the enrollment cap of a school - facility size, balance with other schools, faculty size, special programming needs, etc. Implication: In an effort to bring enrollment balance to our elementary schools and offer equity to all students, there are enrollment caps established. These same types of caps can also impactagradeleveldependingonstaffingandclasssizes.FIRST CHOICE AND SECOND CHOICE MSDLT Definition: Familiesareaskedtolistastudent’sfirstandsecondchoiceswhencompleting an application.Ifastudentisnotselectedforhisfirstchoicebutthereisroominthe second choice school, he/she will be sent to the student’s second choice. Implication: Families should be sure that they would be happy with either their first or second choice. Families forfeit their spot at their neighborhood magnet school when they apply and are accepted in another magnet school.

The school curriculum uses the Writers’ and Readers’ Workshops, which immerse students in reading and writing. The Five Easy Steps to a Balanced Math Program allows students to apply math skills and reasoning ability to solve real-life problems. The result: Lifelong readers who are able to articulate themselves orally and in writing, andconfidentmathematicianswithadeepconceptualunderstanding of the subject. In addition, visual literacies, which include understanding and demonstrating design techniques and becoming responsible users of various media platforms are priority.
Students get hands-on experience in the world of broad-casting in the school’s state-of-the-art digital television studio, CVTV. Students are in charge of all areas of production in the TV studio, from anchor to engineer to roving reporter. They gain real-world experience by operating the cameras, writing the scripts, and handling all transitions. Radio broadcasting equipment and experi-ences are coming soon!
But the TV studio isn’t the only way students learn to communicate. Through print, online communications and video conferencing, Crestview students learn the many ways to convey messages.

t Skiles Test Elementary, children receive a well-rounded education with a focus on Science, Technology, Engineering, & Math - the stepping stones to the future. Teachers respect each child’s learning style, nurture self-esteem and celebrate diversity. At Skiles Test your child will develop into a technologically literate, caring citizen who is able to think analytically, ask questions to develop understanding, and use a variety of forms of technology.
Why did this happen? How does that work? Skiles Test students begin each lesson with these basic questions and then work to understand the answer. These concepts and more are interwoven into reading, writing, conducting research and hands-on experiences. The school curriculum uses the Writers’ and Readers’ Workshops, which immerse students in reading and writing. The Five Easy Steps to a Balanced Math Program allows students to apply math and reasoning skills to solve real-life problems. The result:
Lifelong learners who are able to express themselves orallyandinwriting,andconfidentmathematicianswith a deep understanding of the subject.
Thanks to the onsite Nature Center, students observe the natural changes that occur during each season. The children maintainthevegetable,flowerandbutterflygardens,aswell as the creek, wetland and wildlife habitats. Even the subjects of music and physical education are infused with STEM through creating digital music and recording and analyzing exercise data. Skiles Test’s specialized STEM class and Discovery Zone create areas where students can create through computer programming and robotics, and also through exploration of the objects around them. Students are given many opportunities throughout the day to ask questions about the world around them and search for answers.

orest Glen School of Spanish Immersion is Lawrence Township Schools’ only elementary language immersion magnet program.
Students attending Forest Glen have the choice of two program options: Full Immersion or Dual Immersion.
The Full Spanish Immersion Program is available in kindergarten through grade 12, with kindergarten through 6th grades at Forest Glen. In grades K-2, students receive 80% of their instruction in Spanish and 20% of their instruction in English. In 3rd grade, students receive 70% of their instruction in Spanish and 30% of their instruction in English. In grades 4, 5 and 6 half of the instructional day is taught in Spanish; the remainder is taught
in English. By the end of elementary school, students in the Full Immersion Program are
able to speak, read and write in both English and Spanish.
In the 2014-15 school year the Dual Immersion Program will be fully implemented at Forest Glen. In Dual Immersion, half of the students in the class are dominant Spanish speakers and half are dominant English speakers. Instruction follows the same percentages as the Full Immersion Program. In Dual Immersion, however, students are purposely mixed in the same classroom to assist each other in language development. By the end of elementary school, students in the Dual Immersion Program are able to speak, read and write in both English and Spanish, as well.
ForestGlenteachersarefluentinthelanguagetheyusefor instruction, and in nearly all situations are dominant speakers of that language.
Along with the language component, the school curriculum uses the Writers’ and Readers’ Workshops, which immerse students in reading and writing. The Five Easy Steps to a Balanced Math Program allows students to apply math skills and reasoning ability to solve real-life problems. The result: Lifelong readers who are able to articulate themselves orallyandinwriting,andconfidentmathematicianswith a deep conceptual understanding of the subject.
*Students who are entering grades 2-6 and accepted through the CAP (Computer Application Process) are required to pass a Spanish assessment to complete the admittance process.

tudents at Winding Ridge School of Inquiry and Performing Arts learn to communicate their knowledge through artistic expression. Among the variety of arts choices available to students are: band, orchestra, dance, drama, art, photography and choir.
Using inquiry-based teaching strategies, educators guide students as they explore questions that interest them about topics ranging from local to world issues. Project-based work encourages higher-level thinking, and large and small-group discussions help students learn to express their points of view. The school curriculum uses the Writers’ and Readers’ Workshops, which immerse students in reading and writing. The Five Easy Steps to a Balanced Math Program allows students to apply math skills and reasoning ability to solve real-life problems. The result: Lifelong readers who are able to articulate themselves orallyandinwriting,andconfidentmathematicianswith a deep conceptual understanding of the subject.
In grades 5 and 6 students select both a major and a minor focus area. While the students study all areas in a school year, their schedule allows them to study their major focus area every other day for the length of a semester or year. This schedule allows students to be-come skilled in their artistic area of choice and allows
them to make connections between the different arts. Advanced areas of choice include: ballet, modern and tap dance, instrumental and vocal training, drawing, painting and sculpting.
At Winding Ridge Elementary, students develop a passion for the arts – and learning!

“It’s good to learn about other COUNTRIES and CULTURES because when you’re older you may go there. This is why we around us.” -ASA, Grade 3
Does your child:•Build things out of blocks, Legos, or K’nex?•Mix weird concoctions in the kitchen?•Understand how to use your smartphone better than you do?•Take things apart and then put them back together?•Spend hours watching: “Mythbusters,” “How It’s Made”
or “Animal Planet”? Is your child curious about…• Machines? Plants? Weather? Space? Animals?
t Indian Creek Elementary, children receive a well-rounded education with a focus on Science, Technology, Engineering, & Math - the stepping stones to the future. Teachers respect each child’s learning style, nurture self-esteem and celebrate diversity. At Indian Creek your child will develop into a technologically literate, caring citizen who is able to think analytically, ask questions to develop understanding, and use a variety of forms of technology.
Why did this happen? How does that work? Indian Creek students begin each lesson with these basic questions and then work to understand the answer. These concepts and more are interwoven in reading, writing, conducting research, and hands-on experiences. The school curriculum uses the Writers’ and Readers’ Workshops, which immerse students in reading and writing. The Five Easy Steps to a Balanced Math Program allows students to apply math and reasoning skills to solve real-life problems. The result:
Lifelong learners who are able to express themselves orallyandinwriting,andconfidentmathematicianswitha deep understanding of the subject.
Thanks to the 6 acre outdoor learning lab, students observe the natural changes that occur during each season. Thechildrenmaintainthevegetable,flowerandbutterfly gardens, as well as the pond, wetland and wildlife habitats. A new reading park created by staff and parents provides a beautiful surrounding for study or relaxation. Even the subjects of music and physical education are infused with STEM through creating digital music and recording and analyzing exercise data. Indian Creek’s two specialized STEM classes create areas where students can create through computer programming and robotics, and also through exploration of the objects around them. Students are given many opportunities throughout the day to ask questions about the world around them, and search for answers.
