The National School Lunch Program provides meal which contain one-third of the recommended dietary allowance of necessary nutrients. The Food & Nutrition Department carefully plans all meals in accordance with the USDA standards for calories, saturated fat, vitamins and minerals. Students with food allergies or dietary restrictions will need a medical statement from a licensed physician before any changes are made to accommodate their dietary concerns.

New this school year, ALL Pre-K & Primary,Intermediate and Rise-Up Academy, and Washington High School Students, will receive both Breakfast & Lunch meals at no charge as part of the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP). Households with students only at these schools will need to complete the Textbook and Other Benefit Applications.
The information you provide on either the Meal & Textbook or the Textbook and Other Benefits Applications, may also be used for other state and federal funded school benefits.
Meal prices are listed below. Prepayment of meals is encouraged. There are two methods to prepay for meals. You may pay by cash/check sent to school with your child or you may use our on-line prepayment system at https://www.mylunchmoney.com

Primary and Intermediate Magnet SchoolsThe South Bend Community School Corporation has ten primary and intermediate magnet schools: Kennedy Primary Academy (grades K-4), Hamilton Traditional School (grades K-4), Coquillard Traditional School (grades K-4), Tarkington Traditional School (grades K-4), Perley Primary Fine Arts Academy (grades K-4), Marquette Primary Montessori Academy (grades pre K-3), Montessori at Brown (grades 4-5-6), Dickinson Intermediate Fine Arts Academy (grades 5-8), LaSalle Intermediate Academy (grades 5-8), and Jefferson Intermediate Traditional School (grades 5-8). Any student in the South Bend Community School Corporation is eligible to apply for admission.
Applications for the 2016-17 school year will be accepted from November 1, 2015 through December 15, 2015 (postmarked). All applications for the 2016-17 school year are due by December 15, 2015. Applications for admissions will be available beginning November 1, 2015 at all SBCSC schools and the Administration Building located at 215 South St. Joseph Street, South Bend, IN 46601. The application will also be available to download during the application window at www.sbcsc.k12.in.us.
Enrollment at a magnet school is available to all children who meet criteria for admission. Enrollment will be controlled on a capacity and racial compliance basis.
Kennedy Primary Academy is designed to offer academic challenges to highly capable kindergarten through fourth grade students. The Academy provides a stimulating educational environment in which students receive both guided and self-directed inquiry in an interdisciplinary context.
LaSalle Intermediate Academy is designed to offer highly capable fifth through eighth grade students academic challenges beyond that required by the Indiana Academic Standards. The Academy provides a rigorous, comprehensive academic program in all subject areas, distinguished by the application of technology and the infusion of math and science throughout the curriculum.
Coquillard Traditional School, Hamilton Traditional School, Tarkington Traditional School, and Jefferson Intermediate Traditional School, are designed to provide students the opportunity for academic, social, and emotional growth in a highly structured, back-to-basics learning environment. The educational program places a strong emphasis on high academic standards, student responsibility, appropriate conduct, and active parental involvement.
Marquette Primary Montessori Academy is the first public Montessori school in St. Joseph County. Preschool, first, second and third grade students are taught using the Montessori method of instruction. Children are first taught, then encouraged, and finally expected to make their own work choices during the day. Students who are 3 years old will not begin school until September 1st.
Montessori at BrownThe Montessori program has expanded to Brown Intermediate Center where there are multi-age classes for students in grades 4-5-6.
Perley Primary Fine Arts Academy integrates fine arts into the academic curriculum. Many studies have shown that when students play a musical instrument, sing, dance, and do creative arts they also become better readers, spellers, and mathematicians. Artists in residence will provide instruction in ceramics, drama, painting and puppetry.
Dickinson Intermediate Fine Arts Academy integrates all content areas through STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) and PBL (Project-Based Learning) initiatives. All students participate in expanded fine arts classes, exhibits, and performance throughout the school year. Students have additional opportunities to explore arts, academics, and athletics through the After-School Arts Adventure programs.

KindergartenThe SBCSC Bilingual Services Department strives to promote and develop English proficiency, academic growth, positive self-concept and cultural sensitivity in Limited English Proficient (LEP) students. To achieve this, the Department of Bilingual Services provides the following services to families within the South Bend Community School Corporation.
• English Learners (EL) Program English Learners (EL) receive instruction in both language acquisition
and the academic curriculum using the sheltered English approach.
• Tutorial and Support Services Tutorial services assist students in making a successful transition
into the regular curriculum by maintaining age and grade level achievement progress. Support services include, but are not limited to, communication with parents in the language that they understand and referrals to community agencies.
• Bilingual/Migrant Summer Program This program provides eligible students with an educational “bridge”
between school years by increasing basic skills development in the areas of reading, mathematics, and language arts.
• Preschool Program Developmentally-based early childhood services for English Learners
(EL) who will be 5 years old by August 1st.
Bilingual Services
Special Education The South Bend Community School Corporation believes that all students

State Mandated Testing
Any student who has not met the GQE requirement in both English and math by the end of their senior year may qualify to earn a diploma through an alternative process which currently requires the student to maintain a 95% attendance rate in high school, participate in the state testing program, participate in school provided remediation, and maintain a “C” average in all core classes.
For additional information about the mandated state testing programs you may visit the Indiana Department of Education’s Assessment website at:www.doe.in.gov/assessment
ISTEP+ (grades 3-8, 10)The purpose of the Indiana Statewide Testing for Educational Progress Plus (ISTEP+) program is to measure student achievement in the subject areas of English/Language Arts, Mathematics, Science (Grades 4, 6 and HS*), and Social Studies (Grades 5 and 7). In particular, ISTEP+ reports student achievement levels according to the Indiana Academic Standards that were adopted by the Indiana State Board of Education. An Applied Skills Assessment and a Multiple-Choice Assessment, which are required components of the ISTEP+ program, are used to measure these standards.
* There will also be a high school science test, however, the science test is not part of the G.Q.E.
High School StudentsAll Indiana students must meet the Graduation Qualifying Exam (GQE) requirement in order to earn a diploma.
IREAD-3 (grade 3)
Based on the Indiana Academic Standards, the Indiana Reading Evaluation and Determination (IREAD-3) Assessment is a summative assessment that measures foundational reading standards through grade 3. By rule of the Indiana State Board of Education, promotion decisions must be based on a student’s ability to pass the IREAD-3 assessment.
Indiana students are required to participate in certain state testing programs.
9th Grade (ISTEP)Beginning with the class of 2019, the GQE requirement must be met by passing both the English and math portions of the ISTEP+ exam the student will take during 10th grade.
10th, 11th, & 12th Grades (ECA)For students in the classes of 2016, 2017 and 2018, the GQE requirement is met by passing End-of-Course Assessments (ECA) in Algebra I and English 10.These tests will be administered in May to all students completing English 10 and Algebra I. In addition, students who did not pass either test in prior years will be given an opportunity to retest in December and May.

Do You Have an Hour a Week to Meet with a Child of South Bend Schools? Mentoring means, “getting to know another individual and then acting as a
support for that person.” Each child is unique with different needs. The need for positive self-esteem is addressed through the mentor’s acceptance of the child as a worthy human being. Children profit from the wisdom, guidance and attention that the mentor gives them.
Mentoring Process:1) Mentors will be asked to volunteer one (1) hour per week at the student’s school at lunch.2) For the safety and protection of all children, a completed application form must be submitted giving permission for a criminal background check. 3) Potential mentors will be contacted to be assigned one 30 minute training session.4) Both mentors and students will complete an interest survey that will be used to select a good “match.”Mentor Application and additional information: www.edfo.org/mentors.html or 283-8072.
Education Foundation Mentoring ProgramProject Lead the Way (PLTW) is the nation’s leading STEM program. PLTW’s world-class, activity-, project-, and problem-based curriculum and high-quality teacher professional development model, combined with an engaged network of education and corporate partners, help students develop the skills needed to succeed in our global economy.
PLTW was previously offered at only Kennedy Primary Academy and Riley High School. SBCSC has expanded the program to 18 of our primary and intermediate centers. Funds for the expansion of PLTW were provided by the City of South Bend, as well as assistance from the Chamber of Commerce of St. Joseph County and a United Way of St. Joseph County grant. A PLTW classroom is an active classroom. Students ask questions, explore ideas, and solve problems. The earlier students develop an in te res t i n STEM (science, t e c h n o l o g y , engineering and math), the better. Sixty-five percent of scientists and graduate students developed their interest in science i n e l emen ta ry school, according to one study.

SBCSC is always looking for ways to foster an even safer and more caring school community. We recently added SchoolMessenger Quick Tip to ensure that students, staff and parents have a voice to report issues that may impact our students or schools.
Quick Tip allows school personnel to receive tips immediately and have the ability to respond in a timely manner to issues which might impact the school or individual students. The tips many range from peer pressure, depression, school safety and bullying (to name
a few). Users can identify which schools receive the tip, select an appropriate topic from the dropdown list, write the message, and submit the tip. Tips may be submitted anonymously.
The Quick Tip link is all the district website as well as all school websites. Users may access Quick Tip directly at www.sbcsc.k12.in.us/quicktip. “School Messenger Quick Tip” apps are also available for smart devices in both iOS (iTune App Store) and Android devices (Google Play). When launching the app for the first time, you will be prompted to enter the school district code: sbcsc

Athletics, Fine Arts and Activities
The South Bend school experience is more than classes, teachers and homework. Sports, clubs and activities help students mature in every way -- mentally, physically, emotionally and socially.
In the athletic arena, both boys and girls may choose some of the most popular in-dividual and team sports. There are twelve different sports offered at the intermediate level and nineteen offered at the high school level, which are sanctioned by the Indiana High School Athletic Association (IHSAA). High school students compete in the North-ern Indiana Conference (NIC). The NIC is one of the oldest and most prestigious conferences in the state.
For fine arts, opportunities abound to develop talent and showcase artistic, musical and theatrical ability. Community organizations call upon South Bend’s superb jazz bands, swing choirs, string ensembles and other musical groups to entertain at special events.
Drama students showcase their talents at
many plays and musicals, and art students
earn accolades in regional and national
competitions. Students also may choose
from an array of curricular and non-curricular
activities and clubs, including newspaper,
yearbook, world language, community
service, and spirit clubs. Special interest
groups range from chess and computers,
to ecology and education.

South Bend Alumni Association – www.southbendalumni.comThe South Bend Alumni Association passionately believes in the value of a strong public education system. We support the opportunity for all children to achieve their full potential in school and believe that strong co-curricular and extra-curricular activities can be a formative part of their education. These supplemental activities are vital to keeping students connected to school, helping them to develop leadership and teamwork skills, build positive peer groups, and improve time management and study habits.
Our mission is to generate community support for educational and extra-curricular activities in the South Bend Schools. In particular, we focus on those activities which are not tax funded. We also reward scholarship and community service, and recognize individuals who have distinguished themselves in their personal or professional lives.
The South Bend Alumni Association has three major initiatives. We award scholarships for college bound graduates of South Bend high schools. We provide grants to support co/extra-curricular activities at South Bend schools, instilling an ethic of community service by requiring that student groups do volunteer work to “repay” the grants. We host the South Bend
Community Hall of Fame dinner to honor extraordinary individuals who have brought distinction to themselves and/or our city and who are role models for giving back to community. We also help to keep people connected through a Lunch Club gathering on the second Thursday of each month, by assisting with class reunions and record keeping, and through our library of yearbooks, website and bi-annual newsletter.
Membership is open to alumni of South Bend School Corporation High Schools and to anyone wishing to support our public schools. A two-year membership costs $25 and a Life Membership is $75. One can register online at www.southbendalumni.com, call the office (574.283.8153), or email us at [email protected]. Our offices are located in the School Administration Building at 215 S.
