I Abstract
Lake Ridge Schools despite being one of the poorest districts in Indiana despite having
skyrocketing poverty and crime despite struggling with low parent involvement and student
motivation is nevertheless one of the most exciting progressive school districts in Indiana For
the past four years Lake Ridge has been part of the 21 st CCLC Cohort 7 during which time the
21 st CCLC Programs at Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School and Calumet New Tech High
School have shown success in providing academic support enrichment a welcoming place for
parent involvement and a safe haven for students Surveys to students parents and community
members reveal that they value the 21 st CCLC After-school Program and see it as an intrinsic
part of the educational experience
This proposal describes how Lake Ridge New Tech Schools will continue the middle and
high school programs as they continue their growth toward self-sustainment The use of
partners will deepen and the coordination of other funding sources including Title I Title II
Title Ill and Title IV will increase Both programs will run 132 days offer academics
enrichment dinner and bus service Both programs will focus on Literacy STEM College and
Career Readiness comprehensive school counseling and be extensions of the regular school
curricula which uses Indiana Academic Standards There will be an increased focus on affective
offerings as Lake Ridge New Tech schools move toward district certification in Trauma
Sensitive Instruction Finally both programs will offer opportunities for parents to take part in
their students programs
Students needs will be determined by academic benchmarks behavior data and
parentstudent surveys Because of the overall low reading lexiles and test scores there will be
dedicated tutoringreading time for all students as well as enrichment classes More than 65 of
Page I 11
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 21st CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
Calumet New Tech High School students have been found to read below grade level
Furthermore only 38 of middle school students and 64 of high school students passed math
on ISTEP The way in which regular day teachers interact with the afterschool program will
continue to be intentional and personalized and tutoring for English Language Arts Reading
and Math will be done by certified Lake Ridge teachers
In the move toward self-sustainment Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC programs will replace
courses that need outside funding with programs that are provided at little or no cost by partners
such as Ivy Tech Community College The past eight years have taught us that a key to making
an afterschool program successful is manpower and student supervision In addition to the
Program Director both the middle and high schools will have a Site Coordinator who will work
more closely with school administrators to upgrade protocols and procedures The middle school
Site Coordinator is a current Lake Ridge administrator and the high school Site Coordinator is
an experienced tutor and program organizer for Americorp in Valparaiso IN The 21 st CCLC
After-school Program is crucial to the academic and personal growth of Lake Ridge students
and the school district is committed to its success

III NEED FOR PROJECT
A The Lake Ridge New Tech Schools serve a small urban region that straddles the
boundaries between the City of Gary and an unincorporated region known as Calumet Township
The area is both economically and socially depressed Of the total Lake Ridge student population
of 1873 359 of the population is living in poverty (State average is 141 ) During SY
2016-2017 in Lake Ridge New Tech Schools there were 702 suspensions and 22 expulsions 6
involving drugs andor firearms Currently there are 20 known students on active probation in the
district as per the Lake County Sheriffs Office
B Clearly based on the above data Lake Ridge Schools has a critical need for an afterschool
community learning center ISTEP+ scores are for the most part below the state average
Without adequate remediation and additional learning time students will be locked into an
endless cycle ofcatch up Currently 532 of students in the middle school and 65 of the
high school students read below grade level as per NWEA

The need for expansion of counseling services is indicated by the administration of the
Adverse Childhood Experiences Survey (ACES) which indicated that the Lake Ridge students
have experienced 3+ types of trauma This is a tragically high number Lake Ridge has received a
Lilly Counseling Grant and a Title IV Grant which will train teachers aides and 21 st CCLC
personnel to work with students of trauma

C NeedsServices
Needs and services were identified through student and parent informal surveys and
discussions with students during the school day and after-school and parents at Side-by-Sides
conferences and Coffee Talks Partners gave suggestions informally and at Advisory Council
meetings Discussions were held with individual partners as MOUs were created and services
were decided upon This is an ongoing process and partners will serve on the Advisory council to
analyze data and make changes in the program as needed
IV PARTNERSHIPSCOLLABORATIONS

bull Courses aligned with Indiana Academic Standards must include literacy math and parts of School Improvement Plans as areas targeted for remediation
bull Enrichment maintenance and remediation needs of the students must be met bull Literacy and math based on the Indiana Academic Content Standards and the Lake
ridge curriculum maps will be the foundations for content offeringsactivities bull Technology and 21 st Century skills College and Career Readiness must be addressed bull Provisions for non-academic interests and skills (ie the arts etc) must be determined
by student interest bull Parent opportunities must be expanded not only for parent educational improvement
but also to foster parentchildschool relationships bull Behavioral and character education issues must be addressed bull The program must provide dinner and transportation home
The Advisory Council has many suggestions for meeting the above parameters The
Advisory Council will continue to meet with evaluator Dr Karen Venditti to review formative
data and make changes to the program as needed Students who are participating on the Council
will be rotated so that fresh anecdotal information is part of the evaluation process

B Evidence of Previous Success (Appendix pp 60-62)
C Design Requirements
1 Targeted Students and Their Families
In accordance with the requirements of GEPA 427 the following is a description of steps
to overcome barriers that may impede equitable access or participation in our program
All Lake Ridge middle and high school students participating in after-school services will
be afforded an opportunity to participate in the comprehensive program (Literacy Math
Career and College Readiness etc) regardless of gender race national origin color
disability or age All services offered will be tailored to individual needs with
accommodations as appropriate tutoring services (auditory component) Literacy and
Math Career and College Readiness activities (translation and developmentally
appropriate activitiesmaterials) transportation (handicapped accessible buses) Lake
Ridge Schools is a member of the Northwest Indiana Special Education Cooperative and
collaborates with them to provide appropriate services and accommodations
Furthermore since the plan includes families with limited English proficiency program
information will be distributed to such potential participants in their native language
Parent programs will have translation services when necessary
a See Attachment B page 2
b All students are targeted and will be recruited on the first day of school and during the
school year by flyers newsletters Lake Ridge website and by word-of-mouth
c Not applicable
d The Lake Ridge New Tech Schools serve a small urban region that straddles the
boundaries between the City of Gary and an unincorporated region known as Calumet
Page 125
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
Township The area is both economically and socially depressed Of the total Lake
Ridge student population of 1873 872 of the students are classified as freereduced
lunch and 359 of the population is living in poverty (State average is 141)
During SY 2016-2017 in Lake Ridge New Tech Schools there were 702 suspensions
and 22 expulsions 6 involving drugs andor firearms Currently there are 20 known
students on active probation in the district as per the Lake County Sheriffs Office
Clearly based on the above data Lake Ridge Schools has a critical need for an
afterschool community learning center Lake Ridge Schools is the hub of the
community and there is an urgent need for a place for the children to go after school
ISTEP+ scores are for the most part below the state average Without adequate
remediation and additional learning time students will be locked into an endless cycle of
catch up Currently 532 of students in the middle school and 65 of the high
school students read below grade level as per NWEA
2 Dissemination ofInformation
Parents of students from Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School Calumet New Tech High
School and Repairer of the Breach Ministries will receive information concerning
program logistics and student recruitment in a variety of ways including but not limited
to the following
bull Flyers will be sent home with students and mailed to parents of Lake Ridge and
Repairer of the Breach Ministries
bull Information will be available on the Lake Ridge website
bull Mass phone calls and text messages will be made on Alert Now
bull Information will be placed on school marquees
bull The local media will publish articles which praise the program
Page 126
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 215 CCLC Grant Proposal 20 I 7
bull A document similar to a college class brochure will list tutoring opportunities and
other classes that will be available after school This will be made available to
students and parents of students who participate in the program
bull Guidance counselors will confer with students who would benefit from the
afterschool program to urge them to take advantage of this opportunity
bull Behavior contracts that include attendance at the afterschool program will be written
by school counselors for students who have discipline andor attendance issues
bull Parents will be given information about afterschool programming at the district-wide
registration in the fall and at other school functions
3 Communication with Schools
a Equitable Service for Non-Public Schools
Students from Repairer of the Breach Ministries may take part in 21 st CCLC activities
(Attachment H p 9) During the Fall of2017 several in-person planning sessions and
telephone conversations took place with Lake Ridge administrators and Dr Mildred
Ewing Principal of Repairer of the Breach Ministries to plan for the attendance of her
students At present she has only one secondary student who might be interested in
attending the Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC program Dr Ewing is aware that academic
information for this student will be required to plan relevant sessions for him and to
evaluate his progress Dr Ewing agreed to be an active participant on the Lake Ridge
21 st CCLC Advisory Council
b Student Record Accessing
To differentiate instruction for students and to monitor progress instructional
personnel must have access to student data Student data reports will be generated by
the Lake Ridge RDS data management system and shared with instructors when
appropriate and with strict attention to privacy Permanent records may be accessed
Page 127
lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 1st CCLC Grant Proposal 201 7
by guidance personnel and the Progran1 Director Reports that will be used for
program evaluation will be generated using STN numbers rather than student names
Repairer of the Breach Ministries will provide student data to the Lake Ridge
Program Director for inclusion in state rep01is and to adjust the program
c Sharing Information on Students with Regular-day School Staffamp Families of
Participating Students and Community Stakeholders
Regular day staff will receive reports on student progress every nine weeks or more
frequently if the need ari ses Since the academic tutors are regular Lake Ridge
licensed teachers the reports may be informal or electronic The report may include
rates of progress and information on content so that the regular staff may coordinate
instruction with afterschool instruction Parents of students from Lake Ridge New
Tech Middle School Calumet New Tech High School and Repairer of the Breach
Ministries will receive information concerning the program and student recruitment in
a variety of ways as described on page 27 In addition every parent will receive a
21 st CCLC Parent Handbook which will include information about requirements for
academic achievement behavior and attendance There will also be program reports
that will be given to parents at regular parent programs Community members may
receive information on the Lake Ridge New Tech Schools website and from articles
in the Hammond Times and the Gay Post-Tribune
d Alignment ofIn-School and Out-of-School Time Efforts to Support Student Success
Lake Ridge Schools has an articulated K-1 2 curriculum which is based on Indiana
Academic Standards The K-1 2 curriculum may be found on the Lake Ridge home
page httpwww lakeridgekl2inus The afterschool program will be based on this
Page 128
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 21st CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
curriculum as well as the high school and middle school School Improvement Plans
which were derived from ISTEP+ PSAT NWEA and other local assessments
4 Programs that Promote Parental Involvement Family Literacy
and Related Educational_Development
Parental involvement in the Lake Ridge community is a challenge Many parents
do not have reliable transportation gas money or they feel uncomfortable because they
themselves were unsuccessful in school Parental involvement with the 21 st CCLC
Program will attack the parental involvement issue on two fronts Parent involvement
with students during the afterschool program and outside ofprogram hours (IAS 8)
Only parents of students enrolled in the 21st CCLC program will participate
Parent Engagement During Afterschool Hours These programs will engage
parents as they interact with their students Side-by-side events may include book
exchanges family game hours science experiments recreational sports and other fun and
educational activities that may be done by parents and students together These activities
will also serve to model for parents how they may help their students at home with
classwork (IAS 13) In addition sessions of a more serious nature may be offered for
parent and child that cover such issues as Internet safety violence prevention and how to
make positive life choices (IAS 13D) Parent classes will cover a variety of topics that
have been suggested on parent questionnaires and during discussions These classes may
include English for non-English speaking parents health and wellness parenting skills
technology recreational sports and literacy
ParentStudent Engagement Outside of Afterschool Hours These occasional
events may include students but will be held outside afterschool hours ( ex weekday
Page 129
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 21st CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
evenings Saturday etc) to accommodate the needs ofworking parents Only parents
who have students enrolled in the Lake Ridge 21st CCLC Program may participate
in these classesworkshops Classes might include literacy math crocheting Zumba
CPR music resume writing computer use and other topics that are requested by the
parents (IAS 15) When appropriate classes will be offered in both Spanish and English
Each school has a gymnasium large classrooms art and music rooms computer labs and
some have science labs so programs that are academic in nature as well as sports and
recreation may be offered The hoursdays of family services will not exceed that of the
student activities
Activities that are held outside of afterschool program time are opportunities to
promote schoolcommunity and family relationships These fun family events can be
educational for the entire family since there are many levels of learning that can be
experienced by family groups working on projects or just having fun together (IAS 9)
The Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC program will work with families and provide referral services
for other issues outside of its capabilities This plan to engage parents is comprehensive
and attainable because it is an extension of the regular school day as opposed to a standshy
alone activity and because it is based on parent requests
bull Offer classes for parents students and parent and student
bull Hold classes for parents at convenient times for working parents
bull Welcome parents daily into the afterschool program to participate with their students
bull Publicize parent opportunities well in advance of the events
bull Hold activities that reflect student and family interests ( communitystudent surveys)

Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
Evidence of Previous Success
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools has operated 21 st CCLC programs for eight years due to
the generous funding from the government From 2010-2014 the program was implemented at
Calumet New Tech High School and in 2015 Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School was added
to the program These after-school programs provide services to high-poverty students who
would otherwise have no safe place to go after school no help with homework or the opportunity
to take part in enrichment classes and in some cases little to eat The Lake Ridge afterschool
program provides all of that dinner homework help fun socialization and a ride home
While mentioning roadblocks may not be the best way to start describing the stellar
accomplishments of the Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC programs there are factors that must be considered
1 The rate of transiency for Lake Ridge Schools varies from 40-60 This means that
it is not easy to amass 2- and 3-year data for students who are here today and gone
tomorrow In fact it is difficult even to achieve RAP status for our students which
makes the fact that both the middle and high school programs have made their RAP
numbers each year even more remarkable There was a 50 gain in ISTEP passage
in the middle and high schools combined for 3-year RAPs
2 After-school programming in secondary schools is difficult due to student
participation in sports clubs etc
3 Parent participation is difficult due to lack of transportation and stability in the home
Calumet New Tech High School
2014-2015 All Short-Term Performance Measures (STPM) were met and exceeded projections
2015-2016 All STPM were met with the exception of graduation for which the projection was
90 and the actual was 89
Page 160
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
2016-2017 Two STPM fell slightly short ofprojection The other STPM exceeded projection by 6
RAP Status The attendance target for the last 3 years was 70 RAPs The actual number of
RAPs exceeded the target for all three years
The success of the high school program included College and Career Readiness activities
that included a speaker panel and multiple college tours to which parents were invited F AFSA
nights were held for students and their parents Opportunities for Service Learning were provided
by allowing high school students to lead middle school activities There were also well-attended
enrichment activities that included music dance theater archery and other sports Students
attended a STEM camp at the Duneland Nature Center and parents took part in Strengthening
Families and EL parent night After-school students also attended and served as student
ambassadors at the Indiana Youth Institute state conference All of this was in addition to the
intensive tutoring and homework help that was offered The ISTEP and ECA Boot Camps
were well attended
Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School
2014-2015 STPMs fell slightly short of the projections
2015-2016 STPMS fell slightly short of the projections
2016-2017 STPMs exceeded the projections by at least 50
The disparity ofSTPMprojection and actual was due to the district switchingfrom
Acuity to NWEA Accurate comparable data was not available
RAP Status The projected RAP number was 81 for the last three years The first year RAP
projection was met at 81 The second year the RAP count increased to 111 and the third
year was 91
Page 161
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 1 CCLC Grant Proposal 201 7
Middle School students and their parents attended college tours and heard guest speakers
on College and Career Readiness Enrichment activities included an award-winning
photography club archery foreign language Girls on the Run Camp Invention and a cooking
club A Jr Police Program which was led by a Lake County Sheriff Students attended a STEM
camp at the Duneland Nature Center The middle school held several programs and a Spring
Exhibition to showcase after-school student work to parents and the community Academic
programs included tutoring and homework help as well as ISTEP Jumpstart Lake Ridge New
Tech Middle School s 2I51 CCLC after-school program was recognized by the IDOE

Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 21st CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
I Abstract
Lake Ridge Schools despite being one of the poorest districts in Indiana despite having
skyrocketing poverty and crime despite struggling with low parent involvement and student
motivation is nevertheless one of the most exciting progressive school districts in Indiana For
the past four years Lake Ridge has been part of the 21 st CCLC Cohort 7 during which time the
21 st CCLC Programs at Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School and Calumet New Tech High
School have shown success in providing academic support enrichment a welcoming place for
parent involvement and a safe haven for students Surveys to students parents and community
members reveal that they value the 21 st CCLC After-school Program and see it as an intrinsic
part of the educational experience
This proposal describes how Lake Ridge New Tech Schools will continue the middle and
high school programs as they continue their growth toward self-sustainment The use of
partners will deepen and the coordination of other funding sources including Title I Title II
Title Ill and Title IV will increase Both programs will run 132 days offer academics
enrichment dinner and bus service Both programs will focus on Literacy STEM College and
Career Readiness comprehensive school counseling and be extensions of the regular school
curricula which uses Indiana Academic Standards There will be an increased focus on affective
offerings as Lake Ridge New Tech schools move toward district certification in Trauma
Sensitive Instruction Finally both programs will offer opportunities for parents to take part in
their students programs
Students needs will be determined by academic benchmarks behavior data and
parentstudent surveys Because of the overall low reading lexiles and test scores there will be
dedicated tutoringreading time for all students as well as enrichment classes More than 65 of
Page I 11
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 21st CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
Calumet New Tech High School students have been found to read below grade level
Furthermore only 38 of middle school students and 64 of high school students passed math
on ISTEP The way in which regular day teachers interact with the afterschool program will
continue to be intentional and personalized and tutoring for English Language Arts Reading
and Math will be done by certified Lake Ridge teachers
In the move toward self-sustainment Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC programs will replace
courses that need outside funding with programs that are provided at little or no cost by partners
such as Ivy Tech Community College The past eight years have taught us that a key to making
an afterschool program successful is manpower and student supervision In addition to the
Program Director both the middle and high schools will have a Site Coordinator who will work
more closely with school administrators to upgrade protocols and procedures The middle school
Site Coordinator is a current Lake Ridge administrator and the high school Site Coordinator is
an experienced tutor and program organizer for Americorp in Valparaiso IN The 21 st CCLC
After-school Program is crucial to the academic and personal growth of Lake Ridge students
and the school district is committed to its success

III NEED FOR PROJECT
A The Lake Ridge New Tech Schools serve a small urban region that straddles the
boundaries between the City of Gary and an unincorporated region known as Calumet Township
The area is both economically and socially depressed Of the total Lake Ridge student population
of 1873 359 of the population is living in poverty (State average is 141 ) During SY
2016-2017 in Lake Ridge New Tech Schools there were 702 suspensions and 22 expulsions 6
involving drugs andor firearms Currently there are 20 known students on active probation in the
district as per the Lake County Sheriffs Office
B Clearly based on the above data Lake Ridge Schools has a critical need for an afterschool
community learning center ISTEP+ scores are for the most part below the state average
Without adequate remediation and additional learning time students will be locked into an
endless cycle ofcatch up Currently 532 of students in the middle school and 65 of the
high school students read below grade level as per NWEA

The need for expansion of counseling services is indicated by the administration of the
Adverse Childhood Experiences Survey (ACES) which indicated that the Lake Ridge students
have experienced 3+ types of trauma This is a tragically high number Lake Ridge has received a
Lilly Counseling Grant and a Title IV Grant which will train teachers aides and 21 st CCLC
personnel to work with students of trauma

C NeedsServices
Needs and services were identified through student and parent informal surveys and
discussions with students during the school day and after-school and parents at Side-by-Sides
conferences and Coffee Talks Partners gave suggestions informally and at Advisory Council
meetings Discussions were held with individual partners as MOUs were created and services
were decided upon This is an ongoing process and partners will serve on the Advisory council to
analyze data and make changes in the program as needed

Using disaggregated results from parent and student surveys the Advisory Council have
set the following parameters for the program
bull Courses aligned with Indiana Academic Standards must include literacy math and parts of School Improvement Plans as areas targeted for remediation
bull Enrichment maintenance and remediation needs of the students must be met bull Literacy and math based on the Indiana Academic Content Standards and the Lake
ridge curriculum maps will be the foundations for content offeringsactivities bull Technology and 21 st Century skills College and Career Readiness must be addressed bull Provisions for non-academic interests and skills (ie the arts etc) must be determined
by student interest bull Parent opportunities must be expanded not only for parent educational improvement
but also to foster parentchildschool relationships bull Behavioral and character education issues must be addressed bull The program must provide dinner and transportation home
The Advisory Council has many suggestions for meeting the above parameters The
Advisory Council will continue to meet with evaluator Dr Karen Venditti to review formative
data and make changes to the program as needed Students who are participating on the Council
will be rotated so that fresh anecdotal information is part of the evaluation process

Township The area is both economically and socially depressed Of the total Lake
Ridge student population of 1873 872 of the students are classified as freereduced
lunch and 359 of the population is living in poverty (State average is 141)
During SY 2016-2017 in Lake Ridge New Tech Schools there were 702 suspensions
and 22 expulsions 6 involving drugs andor firearms Currently there are 20 known
students on active probation in the district as per the Lake County Sheriffs Office
Clearly based on the above data Lake Ridge Schools has a critical need for an
afterschool community learning center Lake Ridge Schools is the hub of the
community and there is an urgent need for a place for the children to go after school
ISTEP+ scores are for the most part below the state average Without adequate
remediation and additional learning time students will be locked into an endless cycle of
catch up Currently 532 of students in the middle school and 65 of the high
school students read below grade level as per NWEA

a Equitable Service for Non-Public Schools
Students from Repairer of the Breach Ministries may take part in 21 st CCLC activities
(Attachment H p 9) During the Fall of2017 several in-person planning sessions and
telephone conversations took place with Lake Ridge administrators and Dr Mildred
Ewing Principal of Repairer of the Breach Ministries to plan for the attendance of her
students At present she has only one secondary student who might be interested in
attending the Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC program Dr Ewing is aware that academic
information for this student will be required to plan relevant sessions for him and to
evaluate his progress Dr Ewing agreed to be an active participant on the Lake Ridge
21 st CCLC Advisory Council

Page 127
lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 1st CCLC Grant Proposal 201 7
by guidance personnel and the Progran1 Director Reports that will be used for
program evaluation will be generated using STN numbers rather than student names
Repairer of the Breach Ministries will provide student data to the Lake Ridge
Program Director for inclusion in state rep01is and to adjust the program
c Sharing Information on Students with Regular-day School Staffamp Families of
Participating Students and Community Stakeholders
Regular day staff will receive reports on student progress every nine weeks or more
frequently if the need ari ses Since the academic tutors are regular Lake Ridge
licensed teachers the reports may be informal or electronic The report may include
rates of progress and information on content so that the regular staff may coordinate
instruction with afterschool instruction Parents of students from Lake Ridge New
Tech Middle School Calumet New Tech High School and Repairer of the Breach
Ministries will receive information concerning the program and student recruitment in
a variety of ways as described on page 27 In addition every parent will receive a
21 st CCLC Parent Handbook which will include information about requirements for
academic achievement behavior and attendance There will also be program reports
that will be given to parents at regular parent programs Community members may
receive information on the Lake Ridge New Tech Schools website and from articles
in the Hammond Times and the Gay Post-Tribune
d Alignment ofIn-School and Out-of-School Time Efforts to Support Student Success

page httpwww lakeridgekl2inus The afterschool program will be based on this
Page 128
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 21st CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
curriculum as well as the high school and middle school School Improvement Plans
which were derived from ISTEP+ PSAT NWEA and other local assessments
4 Programs that Promote Parental Involvement Family Literacy
and Related Educational_Development
Parental involvement in the Lake Ridge community is a challenge Many parents
do not have reliable transportation gas money or they feel uncomfortable because they
themselves were unsuccessful in school Parental involvement with the 21 st CCLC
Program will attack the parental involvement issue on two fronts Parent involvement
with students during the afterschool program and outside ofprogram hours (IAS 8)
Only parents of students enrolled in the 21st CCLC program will participate
Parent Engagement During Afterschool Hours These programs will engage
parents as they interact with their students Side-by-side events may include book
exchanges family game hours science experiments recreational sports and other fun and
educational activities that may be done by parents and students together These activities
will also serve to model for parents how they may help their students at home with
classwork (IAS 13) In addition sessions of a more serious nature may be offered for
parent and child that cover such issues as Internet safety violence prevention and how to
make positive life choices (IAS 13D) Parent classes will cover a variety of topics that
have been suggested on parent questionnaires and during discussions These classes may
include English for non-English speaking parents health and wellness parenting skills
technology recreational sports and literacy
ParentStudent Engagement Outside of Afterschool Hours These occasional
events may include students but will be held outside afterschool hours ( ex weekday
Page 129
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 21st CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
evenings Saturday etc) to accommodate the needs ofworking parents Only parents
who have students enrolled in the Lake Ridge 21st CCLC Program may participate
in these classesworkshops Classes might include literacy math crocheting Zumba
CPR music resume writing computer use and other topics that are requested by the
parents (IAS 15) When appropriate classes will be offered in both Spanish and English
Each school has a gymnasium large classrooms art and music rooms computer labs and
some have science labs so programs that are academic in nature as well as sports and
recreation may be offered The hoursdays of family services will not exceed that of the
student activities
Activities that are held outside of afterschool program time are opportunities to
promote schoolcommunity and family relationships These fun family events can be
educational for the entire family since there are many levels of learning that can be
experienced by family groups working on projects or just having fun together (IAS 9)
The Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC program will work with families and provide referral services
for other issues outside of its capabilities This plan to engage parents is comprehensive
and attainable because it is an extension of the regular school day as opposed to a standshy
alone activity and because it is based on parent requests
bull Offer classes for parents students and parent and student
bull Hold classes for parents at convenient times for working parents
bull Welcome parents daily into the afterschool program to participate with their students
bull Publicize parent opportunities well in advance of the events
bull Hold activities that reflect student and family interests ( communitystudent surveys)

VIII SUPPORT for STRATEGIC PRIORITIES
Lake Ridge Schools has an ar1iculated K-12 curriculum which is based on Indiana
Academic Standards The K-12 curriculum may be found on the Lake Ridge home page
httplakeridgek12inus The afterschool program will be based on this curriculum as well as
on the School Improvement Plans which were derived from ISTEP+ NWEA ECA and other
local assessments All Lake Ridge teachers have received professional development in the
Indiana Academic Standards and are active in developing the curriculum Using this curriculum
and data obtained from state and local assessments afterschool instructors will create learning
experiences for students in the afterschool program which is an extension of the school day
Page I 38
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
Literacy Math and College and Career Readiness will serve as the foundations for the
afterschool academic curricula at the middle and high schools and will be the primary vehicles
through which other skills and content areas are taught Both schools School Improvement
Plans which are on file with the IDOE focus on reading and math In addition College and
Career Readiness will include career exploration 21 st Century skills and diversity
IX SUSTAINABILITY PLAN
The partnerships listed in Section IV will continue after the four-year grant period ends
Instruction will be done by partners volunteers high school students who are working for Service
Learning credits and instructors paid by the district and other grants Other grants such as Titles I
IIA III and IV will provide additional funding for professional development parent involvement
and student remediation It is vital to the success of Lake Ridge New Tech students that there is
an all-out effort to recruit and retain partners for the 21 st CCLC program Although most of the
partners listed in the grant will provide in-kind matches additional funds will be necessary to
maintain the program after the grant period Some personnel costs will be absorbed by Lake
Ridge Lake Ridge New Tech Schools is not in a position from which it can approach improved
student achievement lightly and will do whatever it takes to sustain this program

Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
Evidence of Previous Success
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools has operated 21 st CCLC programs for eight years due to
the generous funding from the government From 2010-2014 the program was implemented at
Calumet New Tech High School and in 2015 Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School was added
to the program These after-school programs provide services to high-poverty students who
would otherwise have no safe place to go after school no help with homework or the opportunity
to take part in enrichment classes and in some cases little to eat The Lake Ridge afterschool
program provides all of that dinner homework help fun socialization and a ride home
While mentioning roadblocks may not be the best way to start describing the stellar
accomplishments of the Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC programs there are factors that must be considered
1 The rate of transiency for Lake Ridge Schools varies from 40-60 This means that
it is not easy to amass 2- and 3-year data for students who are here today and gone
tomorrow In fact it is difficult even to achieve RAP status for our students which
makes the fact that both the middle and high school programs have made their RAP
numbers each year even more remarkable There was a 50 gain in ISTEP passage
in the middle and high schools combined for 3-year RAPs
2 After-school programming in secondary schools is difficult due to student
participation in sports clubs etc
3 Parent participation is difficult due to lack of transportation and stability in the home
Calumet New Tech High School
2014-2015 All Short-Term Performance Measures (STPM) were met and exceeded projections
2015-2016 All STPM were met with the exception of graduation for which the projection was
90 and the actual was 89
Page 160
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
2016-2017 Two STPM fell slightly short ofprojection The other STPM exceeded projection by 6
RAP Status The attendance target for the last 3 years was 70 RAPs The actual number of
RAPs exceeded the target for all three years
The success of the high school program included College and Career Readiness activities
that included a speaker panel and multiple college tours to which parents were invited F AFSA
nights were held for students and their parents Opportunities for Service Learning were provided
by allowing high school students to lead middle school activities There were also well-attended
enrichment activities that included music dance theater archery and other sports Students
attended a STEM camp at the Duneland Nature Center and parents took part in Strengthening
Families and EL parent night After-school students also attended and served as student
ambassadors at the Indiana Youth Institute state conference All of this was in addition to the
intensive tutoring and homework help that was offered The ISTEP and ECA Boot Camps
were well attended
Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School
2014-2015 STPMs fell slightly short of the projections
2015-2016 STPMS fell slightly short of the projections
2016-2017 STPMs exceeded the projections by at least 50
The disparity ofSTPMprojection and actual was due to the district switchingfrom
Acuity to NWEA Accurate comparable data was not available
RAP Status The projected RAP number was 81 for the last three years The first year RAP
projection was met at 81 The second year the RAP count increased to 111 and the third
year was 91
Page 161

I Abstract
Lake Ridge Schools despite being one of the poorest districts in Indiana despite having
skyrocketing poverty and crime despite struggling with low parent involvement and student
motivation is nevertheless one of the most exciting progressive school districts in Indiana For
the past four years Lake Ridge has been part of the 21 st CCLC Cohort 7 during which time the
21 st CCLC Programs at Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School and Calumet New Tech High
School have shown success in providing academic support enrichment a welcoming place for
parent involvement and a safe haven for students Surveys to students parents and community
members reveal that they value the 21 st CCLC After-school Program and see it as an intrinsic
part of the educational experience
This proposal describes how Lake Ridge New Tech Schools will continue the middle and
high school programs as they continue their growth toward self-sustainment The use of
partners will deepen and the coordination of other funding sources including Title I Title II
Title Ill and Title IV will increase Both programs will run 132 days offer academics
enrichment dinner and bus service Both programs will focus on Literacy STEM College and
Career Readiness comprehensive school counseling and be extensions of the regular school
curricula which uses Indiana Academic Standards There will be an increased focus on affective
offerings as Lake Ridge New Tech schools move toward district certification in Trauma
Sensitive Instruction Finally both programs will offer opportunities for parents to take part in
their students programs
Students needs will be determined by academic benchmarks behavior data and
parentstudent surveys Because of the overall low reading lexiles and test scores there will be
dedicated tutoringreading time for all students as well as enrichment classes More than 65 of
Page I 11
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 21st CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
Calumet New Tech High School students have been found to read below grade level
Furthermore only 38 of middle school students and 64 of high school students passed math
on ISTEP The way in which regular day teachers interact with the afterschool program will
continue to be intentional and personalized and tutoring for English Language Arts Reading
and Math will be done by certified Lake Ridge teachers
In the move toward self-sustainment Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC programs will replace
courses that need outside funding with programs that are provided at little or no cost by partners
such as Ivy Tech Community College The past eight years have taught us that a key to making
an afterschool program successful is manpower and student supervision In addition to the
Program Director both the middle and high schools will have a Site Coordinator who will work
more closely with school administrators to upgrade protocols and procedures The middle school
Site Coordinator is a current Lake Ridge administrator and the high school Site Coordinator is
an experienced tutor and program organizer for Americorp in Valparaiso IN The 21 st CCLC
After-school Program is crucial to the academic and personal growth of Lake Ridge students
and the school district is committed to its success

III NEED FOR PROJECT
A The Lake Ridge New Tech Schools serve a small urban region that straddles the
boundaries between the City of Gary and an unincorporated region known as Calumet Township
The area is both economically and socially depressed Of the total Lake Ridge student population
of 1873 359 of the population is living in poverty (State average is 141 ) During SY
2016-2017 in Lake Ridge New Tech Schools there were 702 suspensions and 22 expulsions 6
involving drugs andor firearms Currently there are 20 known students on active probation in the
district as per the Lake County Sheriffs Office
B Clearly based on the above data Lake Ridge Schools has a critical need for an afterschool
community learning center ISTEP+ scores are for the most part below the state average
Without adequate remediation and additional learning time students will be locked into an
endless cycle ofcatch up Currently 532 of students in the middle school and 65 of the
high school students read below grade level as per NWEA

The need for expansion of counseling services is indicated by the administration of the
Adverse Childhood Experiences Survey (ACES) which indicated that the Lake Ridge students
have experienced 3+ types of trauma This is a tragically high number Lake Ridge has received a
Lilly Counseling Grant and a Title IV Grant which will train teachers aides and 21 st CCLC
personnel to work with students of trauma

C NeedsServices
Needs and services were identified through student and parent informal surveys and
discussions with students during the school day and after-school and parents at Side-by-Sides
conferences and Coffee Talks Partners gave suggestions informally and at Advisory Council
meetings Discussions were held with individual partners as MOUs were created and services
were decided upon This is an ongoing process and partners will serve on the Advisory council to
analyze data and make changes in the program as needed
IV PARTNERSHIPSCOLLABORATIONS
A The project will make use of grant funds from other sources when available For example
Title IIA will pick up some of the cost of professional development for Lake Ridge staff who are
teaching in the afterschool program Title Ill will also provide professional development for
afterschool Lake Ridge personnel who teach English Learner students and parents In addition
afterschool staff members may also be provided professional development for enrichment classes
Page I 15
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 21st CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
for identified High Ability students using High Ability Grant funds USDA Federal Funds will
also be used for the afterschool meals The Title IV Grant and the Lilly Comprehensive
Counseling Grant will be used to provide Trauma Sensitive training and afterschool group
counseling for students and their parents
B The following partners were selected because of their documented success with education
and their contribution to the workforce Also they were chosen because they meet the needs of
the community as determined by studentcommunity needs assessments All of the partners have
agreed to serve on the Advisory Council Furthermore the partners have assisted in planning
activities and will be kept apprised of ongoing program evaluations in order to adjust their
program participation over the course of the grant The list of partners will grow as Lake Ridge

Using disaggregated results from parent and student surveys the Advisory Council have
set the following parameters for the program
bull Courses aligned with Indiana Academic Standards must include literacy math and parts of School Improvement Plans as areas targeted for remediation
bull Enrichment maintenance and remediation needs of the students must be met bull Literacy and math based on the Indiana Academic Content Standards and the Lake
ridge curriculum maps will be the foundations for content offeringsactivities bull Technology and 21 st Century skills College and Career Readiness must be addressed bull Provisions for non-academic interests and skills (ie the arts etc) must be determined
by student interest bull Parent opportunities must be expanded not only for parent educational improvement
but also to foster parentchildschool relationships bull Behavioral and character education issues must be addressed bull The program must provide dinner and transportation home
The Advisory Council has many suggestions for meeting the above parameters The
Advisory Council will continue to meet with evaluator Dr Karen Venditti to review formative
data and make changes to the program as needed Students who are participating on the Council
will be rotated so that fresh anecdotal information is part of the evaluation process

B Evidence of Previous Success (Appendix pp 60-62)
C Design Requirements
1 Targeted Students and Their Families
In accordance with the requirements of GEPA 427 the following is a description of steps
to overcome barriers that may impede equitable access or participation in our program
All Lake Ridge middle and high school students participating in after-school services will
be afforded an opportunity to participate in the comprehensive program (Literacy Math
Career and College Readiness etc) regardless of gender race national origin color
disability or age All services offered will be tailored to individual needs with
accommodations as appropriate tutoring services (auditory component) Literacy and
Math Career and College Readiness activities (translation and developmentally
appropriate activitiesmaterials) transportation (handicapped accessible buses) Lake
Ridge Schools is a member of the Northwest Indiana Special Education Cooperative and
collaborates with them to provide appropriate services and accommodations
Furthermore since the plan includes families with limited English proficiency program
information will be distributed to such potential participants in their native language
Parent programs will have translation services when necessary
a See Attachment B page 2
b All students are targeted and will be recruited on the first day of school and during the
school year by flyers newsletters Lake Ridge website and by word-of-mouth
c Not applicable
d The Lake Ridge New Tech Schools serve a small urban region that straddles the
boundaries between the City of Gary and an unincorporated region known as Calumet
Page 125
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
Township The area is both economically and socially depressed Of the total Lake
Ridge student population of 1873 872 of the students are classified as freereduced
lunch and 359 of the population is living in poverty (State average is 141)
During SY 2016-2017 in Lake Ridge New Tech Schools there were 702 suspensions
and 22 expulsions 6 involving drugs andor firearms Currently there are 20 known
students on active probation in the district as per the Lake County Sheriffs Office
Clearly based on the above data Lake Ridge Schools has a critical need for an
afterschool community learning center Lake Ridge Schools is the hub of the
community and there is an urgent need for a place for the children to go after school
ISTEP+ scores are for the most part below the state average Without adequate
remediation and additional learning time students will be locked into an endless cycle of
catch up Currently 532 of students in the middle school and 65 of the high
school students read below grade level as per NWEA
2 Dissemination ofInformation
Parents of students from Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School Calumet New Tech High
School and Repairer of the Breach Ministries will receive information concerning
program logistics and student recruitment in a variety of ways including but not limited
to the following
bull Flyers will be sent home with students and mailed to parents of Lake Ridge and
Repairer of the Breach Ministries
bull Information will be available on the Lake Ridge website
bull Mass phone calls and text messages will be made on Alert Now
bull Information will be placed on school marquees
bull The local media will publish articles which praise the program
Page 126
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 215 CCLC Grant Proposal 20 I 7
bull A document similar to a college class brochure will list tutoring opportunities and
other classes that will be available after school This will be made available to
students and parents of students who participate in the program
bull Guidance counselors will confer with students who would benefit from the
afterschool program to urge them to take advantage of this opportunity
bull Behavior contracts that include attendance at the afterschool program will be written
by school counselors for students who have discipline andor attendance issues
bull Parents will be given information about afterschool programming at the district-wide
registration in the fall and at other school functions
3 Communication with Schools
a Equitable Service for Non-Public Schools
Students from Repairer of the Breach Ministries may take part in 21 st CCLC activities
(Attachment H p 9) During the Fall of2017 several in-person planning sessions and
telephone conversations took place with Lake Ridge administrators and Dr Mildred
Ewing Principal of Repairer of the Breach Ministries to plan for the attendance of her
students At present she has only one secondary student who might be interested in
attending the Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC program Dr Ewing is aware that academic
information for this student will be required to plan relevant sessions for him and to
evaluate his progress Dr Ewing agreed to be an active participant on the Lake Ridge
21 st CCLC Advisory Council
b Student Record Accessing
To differentiate instruction for students and to monitor progress instructional
personnel must have access to student data Student data reports will be generated by
the Lake Ridge RDS data management system and shared with instructors when
appropriate and with strict attention to privacy Permanent records may be accessed
Page 127
lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 1st CCLC Grant Proposal 201 7
by guidance personnel and the Progran1 Director Reports that will be used for
program evaluation will be generated using STN numbers rather than student names
Repairer of the Breach Ministries will provide student data to the Lake Ridge
Program Director for inclusion in state rep01is and to adjust the program
c Sharing Information on Students with Regular-day School Staffamp Families of
Participating Students and Community Stakeholders
Regular day staff will receive reports on student progress every nine weeks or more
frequently if the need ari ses Since the academic tutors are regular Lake Ridge
licensed teachers the reports may be informal or electronic The report may include
rates of progress and information on content so that the regular staff may coordinate
instruction with afterschool instruction Parents of students from Lake Ridge New
Tech Middle School Calumet New Tech High School and Repairer of the Breach
Ministries will receive information concerning the program and student recruitment in
a variety of ways as described on page 27 In addition every parent will receive a
21 st CCLC Parent Handbook which will include information about requirements for
academic achievement behavior and attendance There will also be program reports
that will be given to parents at regular parent programs Community members may
receive information on the Lake Ridge New Tech Schools website and from articles
in the Hammond Times and the Gay Post-Tribune
d Alignment ofIn-School and Out-of-School Time Efforts to Support Student Success
Lake Ridge Schools has an articulated K-1 2 curriculum which is based on Indiana
Academic Standards The K-1 2 curriculum may be found on the Lake Ridge home
page httpwww lakeridgekl2inus The afterschool program will be based on this
Page 128
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 21st CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
curriculum as well as the high school and middle school School Improvement Plans
which were derived from ISTEP+ PSAT NWEA and other local assessments
4 Programs that Promote Parental Involvement Family Literacy
and Related Educational_Development
Parental involvement in the Lake Ridge community is a challenge Many parents
do not have reliable transportation gas money or they feel uncomfortable because they
themselves were unsuccessful in school Parental involvement with the 21 st CCLC
Program will attack the parental involvement issue on two fronts Parent involvement
with students during the afterschool program and outside ofprogram hours (IAS 8)
Only parents of students enrolled in the 21st CCLC program will participate
Parent Engagement During Afterschool Hours These programs will engage
parents as they interact with their students Side-by-side events may include book
exchanges family game hours science experiments recreational sports and other fun and
educational activities that may be done by parents and students together These activities
will also serve to model for parents how they may help their students at home with
classwork (IAS 13) In addition sessions of a more serious nature may be offered for
parent and child that cover such issues as Internet safety violence prevention and how to
make positive life choices (IAS 13D) Parent classes will cover a variety of topics that
have been suggested on parent questionnaires and during discussions These classes may
include English for non-English speaking parents health and wellness parenting skills
technology recreational sports and literacy
ParentStudent Engagement Outside of Afterschool Hours These occasional
events may include students but will be held outside afterschool hours ( ex weekday
Page 129
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 21st CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
evenings Saturday etc) to accommodate the needs ofworking parents Only parents
who have students enrolled in the Lake Ridge 21st CCLC Program may participate
in these classesworkshops Classes might include literacy math crocheting Zumba
CPR music resume writing computer use and other topics that are requested by the
parents (IAS 15) When appropriate classes will be offered in both Spanish and English
Each school has a gymnasium large classrooms art and music rooms computer labs and
some have science labs so programs that are academic in nature as well as sports and
recreation may be offered The hoursdays of family services will not exceed that of the
student activities
Activities that are held outside of afterschool program time are opportunities to
promote schoolcommunity and family relationships These fun family events can be
educational for the entire family since there are many levels of learning that can be
experienced by family groups working on projects or just having fun together (IAS 9)
The Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC program will work with families and provide referral services
for other issues outside of its capabilities This plan to engage parents is comprehensive
and attainable because it is an extension of the regular school day as opposed to a standshy
alone activity and because it is based on parent requests
bull Offer classes for parents students and parent and student
bull Hold classes for parents at convenient times for working parents
bull Welcome parents daily into the afterschool program to participate with their students
bull Publicize parent opportunities well in advance of the events
bull Hold activities that reflect student and family interests ( communitystudent surveys)

Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
Evidence of Previous Success
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools has operated 21 st CCLC programs for eight years due to
the generous funding from the government From 2010-2014 the program was implemented at
Calumet New Tech High School and in 2015 Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School was added
to the program These after-school programs provide services to high-poverty students who
would otherwise have no safe place to go after school no help with homework or the opportunity
to take part in enrichment classes and in some cases little to eat The Lake Ridge afterschool
program provides all of that dinner homework help fun socialization and a ride home
While mentioning roadblocks may not be the best way to start describing the stellar
accomplishments of the Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC programs there are factors that must be considered
1 The rate of transiency for Lake Ridge Schools varies from 40-60 This means that
it is not easy to amass 2- and 3-year data for students who are here today and gone
tomorrow In fact it is difficult even to achieve RAP status for our students which
makes the fact that both the middle and high school programs have made their RAP
numbers each year even more remarkable There was a 50 gain in ISTEP passage
in the middle and high schools combined for 3-year RAPs
2 After-school programming in secondary schools is difficult due to student
participation in sports clubs etc
3 Parent participation is difficult due to lack of transportation and stability in the home
Calumet New Tech High School
2014-2015 All Short-Term Performance Measures (STPM) were met and exceeded projections
2015-2016 All STPM were met with the exception of graduation for which the projection was
90 and the actual was 89
Page 160
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
2016-2017 Two STPM fell slightly short ofprojection The other STPM exceeded projection by 6
RAP Status The attendance target for the last 3 years was 70 RAPs The actual number of
RAPs exceeded the target for all three years
The success of the high school program included College and Career Readiness activities
that included a speaker panel and multiple college tours to which parents were invited F AFSA
nights were held for students and their parents Opportunities for Service Learning were provided
by allowing high school students to lead middle school activities There were also well-attended
enrichment activities that included music dance theater archery and other sports Students
attended a STEM camp at the Duneland Nature Center and parents took part in Strengthening
Families and EL parent night After-school students also attended and served as student
ambassadors at the Indiana Youth Institute state conference All of this was in addition to the
intensive tutoring and homework help that was offered The ISTEP and ECA Boot Camps
were well attended
Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School
2014-2015 STPMs fell slightly short of the projections
2015-2016 STPMS fell slightly short of the projections
2016-2017 STPMs exceeded the projections by at least 50
The disparity ofSTPMprojection and actual was due to the district switchingfrom
Acuity to NWEA Accurate comparable data was not available
RAP Status The projected RAP number was 81 for the last three years The first year RAP
projection was met at 81 The second year the RAP count increased to 111 and the third
year was 91
Page 161
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 1 CCLC Grant Proposal 201 7
Middle School students and their parents attended college tours and heard guest speakers
on College and Career Readiness Enrichment activities included an award-winning
photography club archery foreign language Girls on the Run Camp Invention and a cooking
club A Jr Police Program which was led by a Lake County Sheriff Students attended a STEM
camp at the Duneland Nature Center The middle school held several programs and a Spring
Exhibition to showcase after-school student work to parents and the community Academic
programs included tutoring and homework help as well as ISTEP Jumpstart Lake Ridge New
Tech Middle School s 2I51 CCLC after-school program was recognized by the IDOE

I Abstract
Lake Ridge Schools despite being one of the poorest districts in Indiana despite having
skyrocketing poverty and crime despite struggling with low parent involvement and student
motivation is nevertheless one of the most exciting progressive school districts in Indiana For
the past four years Lake Ridge has been part of the 21 st CCLC Cohort 7 during which time the
21 st CCLC Programs at Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School and Calumet New Tech High
School have shown success in providing academic support enrichment a welcoming place for
parent involvement and a safe haven for students Surveys to students parents and community
members reveal that they value the 21 st CCLC After-school Program and see it as an intrinsic
part of the educational experience
This proposal describes how Lake Ridge New Tech Schools will continue the middle and
high school programs as they continue their growth toward self-sustainment The use of
partners will deepen and the coordination of other funding sources including Title I Title II
Title Ill and Title IV will increase Both programs will run 132 days offer academics
enrichment dinner and bus service Both programs will focus on Literacy STEM College and
Career Readiness comprehensive school counseling and be extensions of the regular school
curricula which uses Indiana Academic Standards There will be an increased focus on affective
offerings as Lake Ridge New Tech schools move toward district certification in Trauma
Sensitive Instruction Finally both programs will offer opportunities for parents to take part in
their students programs
Students needs will be determined by academic benchmarks behavior data and
parentstudent surveys Because of the overall low reading lexiles and test scores there will be
dedicated tutoringreading time for all students as well as enrichment classes More than 65 of
Page I 11
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 21st CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
Calumet New Tech High School students have been found to read below grade level
Furthermore only 38 of middle school students and 64 of high school students passed math
on ISTEP The way in which regular day teachers interact with the afterschool program will
continue to be intentional and personalized and tutoring for English Language Arts Reading
and Math will be done by certified Lake Ridge teachers
In the move toward self-sustainment Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC programs will replace
courses that need outside funding with programs that are provided at little or no cost by partners
such as Ivy Tech Community College The past eight years have taught us that a key to making
an afterschool program successful is manpower and student supervision In addition to the
Program Director both the middle and high schools will have a Site Coordinator who will work
more closely with school administrators to upgrade protocols and procedures The middle school
Site Coordinator is a current Lake Ridge administrator and the high school Site Coordinator is
an experienced tutor and program organizer for Americorp in Valparaiso IN The 21 st CCLC
After-school Program is crucial to the academic and personal growth of Lake Ridge students
and the school district is committed to its success

III NEED FOR PROJECT
A The Lake Ridge New Tech Schools serve a small urban region that straddles the
boundaries between the City of Gary and an unincorporated region known as Calumet Township
The area is both economically and socially depressed Of the total Lake Ridge student population
of 1873 359 of the population is living in poverty (State average is 141 ) During SY
2016-2017 in Lake Ridge New Tech Schools there were 702 suspensions and 22 expulsions 6
involving drugs andor firearms Currently there are 20 known students on active probation in the
district as per the Lake County Sheriffs Office
B Clearly based on the above data Lake Ridge Schools has a critical need for an afterschool
community learning center ISTEP+ scores are for the most part below the state average
Without adequate remediation and additional learning time students will be locked into an
endless cycle ofcatch up Currently 532 of students in the middle school and 65 of the
high school students read below grade level as per NWEA

The need for expansion of counseling services is indicated by the administration of the
Adverse Childhood Experiences Survey (ACES) which indicated that the Lake Ridge students
have experienced 3+ types of trauma This is a tragically high number Lake Ridge has received a
Lilly Counseling Grant and a Title IV Grant which will train teachers aides and 21 st CCLC
personnel to work with students of trauma

C NeedsServices
Needs and services were identified through student and parent informal surveys and
discussions with students during the school day and after-school and parents at Side-by-Sides
conferences and Coffee Talks Partners gave suggestions informally and at Advisory Council
meetings Discussions were held with individual partners as MOUs were created and services
were decided upon This is an ongoing process and partners will serve on the Advisory council to
analyze data and make changes in the program as needed

Using disaggregated results from parent and student surveys the Advisory Council have
set the following parameters for the program
bull Courses aligned with Indiana Academic Standards must include literacy math and parts of School Improvement Plans as areas targeted for remediation
bull Enrichment maintenance and remediation needs of the students must be met bull Literacy and math based on the Indiana Academic Content Standards and the Lake
ridge curriculum maps will be the foundations for content offeringsactivities bull Technology and 21 st Century skills College and Career Readiness must be addressed bull Provisions for non-academic interests and skills (ie the arts etc) must be determined
by student interest bull Parent opportunities must be expanded not only for parent educational improvement
but also to foster parentchildschool relationships bull Behavioral and character education issues must be addressed bull The program must provide dinner and transportation home
The Advisory Council has many suggestions for meeting the above parameters The
Advisory Council will continue to meet with evaluator Dr Karen Venditti to review formative
data and make changes to the program as needed Students who are participating on the Council
will be rotated so that fresh anecdotal information is part of the evaluation process

During SY 2016-2017 in Lake Ridge New Tech Schools there were 702 suspensions
and 22 expulsions 6 involving drugs andor firearms Currently there are 20 known
students on active probation in the district as per the Lake County Sheriffs Office
Clearly based on the above data Lake Ridge Schools has a critical need for an
afterschool community learning center Lake Ridge Schools is the hub of the
community and there is an urgent need for a place for the children to go after school
ISTEP+ scores are for the most part below the state average Without adequate
remediation and additional learning time students will be locked into an endless cycle of
catch up Currently 532 of students in the middle school and 65 of the high
school students read below grade level as per NWEA

a Equitable Service for Non-Public Schools
Students from Repairer of the Breach Ministries may take part in 21 st CCLC activities
(Attachment H p 9) During the Fall of2017 several in-person planning sessions and
telephone conversations took place with Lake Ridge administrators and Dr Mildred

students At present she has only one secondary student who might be interested in
attending the Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC program Dr Ewing is aware that academic
information for this student will be required to plan relevant sessions for him and to
evaluate his progress Dr Ewing agreed to be an active participant on the Lake Ridge
21 st CCLC Advisory Council

Page 127
lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 1st CCLC Grant Proposal 201 7
by guidance personnel and the Progran1 Director Reports that will be used for
program evaluation will be generated using STN numbers rather than student names
Repairer of the Breach Ministries will provide student data to the Lake Ridge
Program Director for inclusion in state rep01is and to adjust the program
c Sharing Information on Students with Regular-day School Staffamp Families of
Participating Students and Community Stakeholders
Regular day staff will receive reports on student progress every nine weeks or more
frequently if the need ari ses Since the academic tutors are regular Lake Ridge
licensed teachers the reports may be informal or electronic The report may include
rates of progress and information on content so that the regular staff may coordinate
instruction with afterschool instruction Parents of students from Lake Ridge New
Tech Middle School Calumet New Tech High School and Repairer of the Breach
Ministries will receive information concerning the program and student recruitment in
a variety of ways as described on page 27 In addition every parent will receive a
21 st CCLC Parent Handbook which will include information about requirements for
academic achievement behavior and attendance There will also be program reports

page httpwww lakeridgekl2inus The afterschool program will be based on this
Page 128
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 21st CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
curriculum as well as the high school and middle school School Improvement Plans
which were derived from ISTEP+ PSAT NWEA and other local assessments
4 Programs that Promote Parental Involvement Family Literacy
and Related Educational_Development
Parental involvement in the Lake Ridge community is a challenge Many parents
do not have reliable transportation gas money or they feel uncomfortable because they
themselves were unsuccessful in school Parental involvement with the 21 st CCLC
Program will attack the parental involvement issue on two fronts Parent involvement
with students during the afterschool program and outside ofprogram hours (IAS 8)
Only parents of students enrolled in the 21st CCLC program will participate
Parent Engagement During Afterschool Hours These programs will engage
parents as they interact with their students Side-by-side events may include book
exchanges family game hours science experiments recreational sports and other fun and
educational activities that may be done by parents and students together These activities
will also serve to model for parents how they may help their students at home with
classwork (IAS 13) In addition sessions of a more serious nature may be offered for
parent and child that cover such issues as Internet safety violence prevention and how to
make positive life choices (IAS 13D) Parent classes will cover a variety of topics that
have been suggested on parent questionnaires and during discussions These classes may
include English for non-English speaking parents health and wellness parenting skills
technology recreational sports and literacy
ParentStudent Engagement Outside of Afterschool Hours These occasional
events may include students but will be held outside afterschool hours ( ex weekday
Page 129
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 21st CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
evenings Saturday etc) to accommodate the needs ofworking parents Only parents
who have students enrolled in the Lake Ridge 21st CCLC Program may participate
in these classesworkshops Classes might include literacy math crocheting Zumba
CPR music resume writing computer use and other topics that are requested by the
parents (IAS 15) When appropriate classes will be offered in both Spanish and English
Each school has a gymnasium large classrooms art and music rooms computer labs and
some have science labs so programs that are academic in nature as well as sports and
recreation may be offered The hoursdays of family services will not exceed that of the
student activities
Activities that are held outside of afterschool program time are opportunities to
promote schoolcommunity and family relationships These fun family events can be
educational for the entire family since there are many levels of learning that can be
experienced by family groups working on projects or just having fun together (IAS 9)
The Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC program will work with families and provide referral services
for other issues outside of its capabilities This plan to engage parents is comprehensive
and attainable because it is an extension of the regular school day as opposed to a standshy
alone activity and because it is based on parent requests
bull Offer classes for parents students and parent and student
bull Hold classes for parents at convenient times for working parents
bull Welcome parents daily into the afterschool program to participate with their students
bull Publicize parent opportunities well in advance of the events
bull Hold activities that reflect student and family interests ( communitystudent surveys)

VIII SUPPORT for STRATEGIC PRIORITIES
Lake Ridge Schools has an ar1iculated K-12 curriculum which is based on Indiana
Academic Standards The K-12 curriculum may be found on the Lake Ridge home page
httplakeridgek12inus The afterschool program will be based on this curriculum as well as
on the School Improvement Plans which were derived from ISTEP+ NWEA ECA and other
local assessments All Lake Ridge teachers have received professional development in the
Indiana Academic Standards and are active in developing the curriculum Using this curriculum
and data obtained from state and local assessments afterschool instructors will create learning
experiences for students in the afterschool program which is an extension of the school day
Page I 38
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
Literacy Math and College and Career Readiness will serve as the foundations for the
afterschool academic curricula at the middle and high schools and will be the primary vehicles
through which other skills and content areas are taught Both schools School Improvement
Plans which are on file with the IDOE focus on reading and math In addition College and
Career Readiness will include career exploration 21 st Century skills and diversity
IX SUSTAINABILITY PLAN
The partnerships listed in Section IV will continue after the four-year grant period ends
Instruction will be done by partners volunteers high school students who are working for Service
Learning credits and instructors paid by the district and other grants Other grants such as Titles I
IIA III and IV will provide additional funding for professional development parent involvement
and student remediation It is vital to the success of Lake Ridge New Tech students that there is
an all-out effort to recruit and retain partners for the 21 st CCLC program Although most of the
partners listed in the grant will provide in-kind matches additional funds will be necessary to
maintain the program after the grant period Some personnel costs will be absorbed by Lake
Ridge Lake Ridge New Tech Schools is not in a position from which it can approach improved
student achievement lightly and will do whatever it takes to sustain this program

Evidence of Previous Success
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools has operated 21 st CCLC programs for eight years due to
the generous funding from the government From 2010-2014 the program was implemented at
Calumet New Tech High School and in 2015 Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School was added
to the program These after-school programs provide services to high-poverty students who
would otherwise have no safe place to go after school no help with homework or the opportunity
to take part in enrichment classes and in some cases little to eat The Lake Ridge afterschool
program provides all of that dinner homework help fun socialization and a ride home
While mentioning roadblocks may not be the best way to start describing the stellar
accomplishments of the Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC programs there are factors that must be considered
1 The rate of transiency for Lake Ridge Schools varies from 40-60 This means that
it is not easy to amass 2- and 3-year data for students who are here today and gone
tomorrow In fact it is difficult even to achieve RAP status for our students which
makes the fact that both the middle and high school programs have made their RAP
numbers each year even more remarkable There was a 50 gain in ISTEP passage
in the middle and high schools combined for 3-year RAPs
2 After-school programming in secondary schools is difficult due to student
participation in sports clubs etc
3 Parent participation is difficult due to lack of transportation and stability in the home
Calumet New Tech High School
2014-2015 All Short-Term Performance Measures (STPM) were met and exceeded projections
2015-2016 All STPM were met with the exception of graduation for which the projection was
90 and the actual was 89
Page 160
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
2016-2017 Two STPM fell slightly short ofprojection The other STPM exceeded projection by 6
RAP Status The attendance target for the last 3 years was 70 RAPs The actual number of
RAPs exceeded the target for all three years
The success of the high school program included College and Career Readiness activities
that included a speaker panel and multiple college tours to which parents were invited F AFSA
nights were held for students and their parents Opportunities for Service Learning were provided
by allowing high school students to lead middle school activities There were also well-attended
enrichment activities that included music dance theater archery and other sports Students
attended a STEM camp at the Duneland Nature Center and parents took part in Strengthening
Families and EL parent night After-school students also attended and served as student
ambassadors at the Indiana Youth Institute state conference All of this was in addition to the
intensive tutoring and homework help that was offered The ISTEP and ECA Boot Camps
were well attended
Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School
2014-2015 STPMs fell slightly short of the projections
2015-2016 STPMS fell slightly short of the projections
2016-2017 STPMs exceeded the projections by at least 50
The disparity ofSTPMprojection and actual was due to the district switchingfrom
Acuity to NWEA Accurate comparable data was not available
RAP Status The projected RAP number was 81 for the last three years The first year RAP
projection was met at 81 The second year the RAP count increased to 111 and the third
year was 91

camp at the Duneland Nature Center The middle school held several programs and a Spring

I Abstract
Lake Ridge Schools despite being one of the poorest districts in Indiana despite having
skyrocketing poverty and crime despite struggling with low parent involvement and student
motivation is nevertheless one of the most exciting progressive school districts in Indiana For
the past four years Lake Ridge has been part of the 21 st CCLC Cohort 7 during which time the
21 st CCLC Programs at Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School and Calumet New Tech High
School have shown success in providing academic support enrichment a welcoming place for
parent involvement and a safe haven for students Surveys to students parents and community
members reveal that they value the 21 st CCLC After-school Program and see it as an intrinsic
part of the educational experience
This proposal describes how Lake Ridge New Tech Schools will continue the middle and
high school programs as they continue their growth toward self-sustainment The use of
partners will deepen and the coordination of other funding sources including Title I Title II
Title Ill and Title IV will increase Both programs will run 132 days offer academics
enrichment dinner and bus service Both programs will focus on Literacy STEM College and
Career Readiness comprehensive school counseling and be extensions of the regular school
curricula which uses Indiana Academic Standards There will be an increased focus on affective
offerings as Lake Ridge New Tech schools move toward district certification in Trauma
Sensitive Instruction Finally both programs will offer opportunities for parents to take part in
their students programs
Students needs will be determined by academic benchmarks behavior data and
parentstudent surveys Because of the overall low reading lexiles and test scores there will be
dedicated tutoringreading time for all students as well as enrichment classes More than 65 of
Page I 11
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 21st CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
Calumet New Tech High School students have been found to read below grade level
Furthermore only 38 of middle school students and 64 of high school students passed math
on ISTEP The way in which regular day teachers interact with the afterschool program will
continue to be intentional and personalized and tutoring for English Language Arts Reading
and Math will be done by certified Lake Ridge teachers
In the move toward self-sustainment Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC programs will replace
courses that need outside funding with programs that are provided at little or no cost by partners
such as Ivy Tech Community College The past eight years have taught us that a key to making
an afterschool program successful is manpower and student supervision In addition to the
Program Director both the middle and high schools will have a Site Coordinator who will work
more closely with school administrators to upgrade protocols and procedures The middle school
Site Coordinator is a current Lake Ridge administrator and the high school Site Coordinator is
an experienced tutor and program organizer for Americorp in Valparaiso IN The 21 st CCLC
After-school Program is crucial to the academic and personal growth of Lake Ridge students
and the school district is committed to its success

III NEED FOR PROJECT
A The Lake Ridge New Tech Schools serve a small urban region that straddles the
boundaries between the City of Gary and an unincorporated region known as Calumet Township
The area is both economically and socially depressed Of the total Lake Ridge student population
of 1873 359 of the population is living in poverty (State average is 141 ) During SY
2016-2017 in Lake Ridge New Tech Schools there were 702 suspensions and 22 expulsions 6
involving drugs andor firearms Currently there are 20 known students on active probation in the
district as per the Lake County Sheriffs Office
B Clearly based on the above data Lake Ridge Schools has a critical need for an afterschool
community learning center ISTEP+ scores are for the most part below the state average
Without adequate remediation and additional learning time students will be locked into an
endless cycle ofcatch up Currently 532 of students in the middle school and 65 of the
high school students read below grade level as per NWEA

The need for expansion of counseling services is indicated by the administration of the
Adverse Childhood Experiences Survey (ACES) which indicated that the Lake Ridge students
have experienced 3+ types of trauma This is a tragically high number Lake Ridge has received a
Lilly Counseling Grant and a Title IV Grant which will train teachers aides and 21 st CCLC
personnel to work with students of trauma

C NeedsServices
Needs and services were identified through student and parent informal surveys and
discussions with students during the school day and after-school and parents at Side-by-Sides
conferences and Coffee Talks Partners gave suggestions informally and at Advisory Council
meetings Discussions were held with individual partners as MOUs were created and services
were decided upon This is an ongoing process and partners will serve on the Advisory council to
analyze data and make changes in the program as needed
IV PARTNERSHIPSCOLLABORATIONS
A The project will make use of grant funds from other sources when available For example
Title IIA will pick up some of the cost of professional development for Lake Ridge staff who are
teaching in the afterschool program Title Ill will also provide professional development for
afterschool Lake Ridge personnel who teach English Learner students and parents In addition
afterschool staff members may also be provided professional development for enrichment classes
Page I 15
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 21st CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
for identified High Ability students using High Ability Grant funds USDA Federal Funds will
also be used for the afterschool meals The Title IV Grant and the Lilly Comprehensive
Counseling Grant will be used to provide Trauma Sensitive training and afterschool group
counseling for students and their parents
B The following partners were selected because of their documented success with education
and their contribution to the workforce Also they were chosen because they meet the needs of
the community as determined by studentcommunity needs assessments All of the partners have
agreed to serve on the Advisory Council Furthermore the partners have assisted in planning
activities and will be kept apprised of ongoing program evaluations in order to adjust their
program participation over the course of the grant The list of partners will grow as Lake Ridge

Using disaggregated results from parent and student surveys the Advisory Council have
set the following parameters for the program
bull Courses aligned with Indiana Academic Standards must include literacy math and parts of School Improvement Plans as areas targeted for remediation
bull Enrichment maintenance and remediation needs of the students must be met bull Literacy and math based on the Indiana Academic Content Standards and the Lake
ridge curriculum maps will be the foundations for content offeringsactivities bull Technology and 21 st Century skills College and Career Readiness must be addressed bull Provisions for non-academic interests and skills (ie the arts etc) must be determined
by student interest bull Parent opportunities must be expanded not only for parent educational improvement
but also to foster parentchildschool relationships bull Behavioral and character education issues must be addressed bull The program must provide dinner and transportation home
The Advisory Council has many suggestions for meeting the above parameters The
Advisory Council will continue to meet with evaluator Dr Karen Venditti to review formative
data and make changes to the program as needed Students who are participating on the Council
will be rotated so that fresh anecdotal information is part of the evaluation process

B Evidence of Previous Success (Appendix pp 60-62)
C Design Requirements
1 Targeted Students and Their Families
In accordance with the requirements of GEPA 427 the following is a description of steps
to overcome barriers that may impede equitable access or participation in our program
All Lake Ridge middle and high school students participating in after-school services will
be afforded an opportunity to participate in the comprehensive program (Literacy Math
Career and College Readiness etc) regardless of gender race national origin color
disability or age All services offered will be tailored to individual needs with
accommodations as appropriate tutoring services (auditory component) Literacy and
Math Career and College Readiness activities (translation and developmentally
appropriate activitiesmaterials) transportation (handicapped accessible buses) Lake
Ridge Schools is a member of the Northwest Indiana Special Education Cooperative and
collaborates with them to provide appropriate services and accommodations
Furthermore since the plan includes families with limited English proficiency program
information will be distributed to such potential participants in their native language
Parent programs will have translation services when necessary
a See Attachment B page 2
b All students are targeted and will be recruited on the first day of school and during the
school year by flyers newsletters Lake Ridge website and by word-of-mouth
c Not applicable
d The Lake Ridge New Tech Schools serve a small urban region that straddles the
boundaries between the City of Gary and an unincorporated region known as Calumet
Page 125
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
Township The area is both economically and socially depressed Of the total Lake
Ridge student population of 1873 872 of the students are classified as freereduced
lunch and 359 of the population is living in poverty (State average is 141)
During SY 2016-2017 in Lake Ridge New Tech Schools there were 702 suspensions
and 22 expulsions 6 involving drugs andor firearms Currently there are 20 known
students on active probation in the district as per the Lake County Sheriffs Office
Clearly based on the above data Lake Ridge Schools has a critical need for an
afterschool community learning center Lake Ridge Schools is the hub of the
community and there is an urgent need for a place for the children to go after school
ISTEP+ scores are for the most part below the state average Without adequate
remediation and additional learning time students will be locked into an endless cycle of
catch up Currently 532 of students in the middle school and 65 of the high
school students read below grade level as per NWEA
2 Dissemination ofInformation
Parents of students from Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School Calumet New Tech High
School and Repairer of the Breach Ministries will receive information concerning
program logistics and student recruitment in a variety of ways including but not limited
to the following
bull Flyers will be sent home with students and mailed to parents of Lake Ridge and
Repairer of the Breach Ministries
bull Information will be available on the Lake Ridge website
bull Mass phone calls and text messages will be made on Alert Now
bull Information will be placed on school marquees
bull The local media will publish articles which praise the program
Page 126
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 215 CCLC Grant Proposal 20 I 7
bull A document similar to a college class brochure will list tutoring opportunities and
other classes that will be available after school This will be made available to
students and parents of students who participate in the program
bull Guidance counselors will confer with students who would benefit from the
afterschool program to urge them to take advantage of this opportunity
bull Behavior contracts that include attendance at the afterschool program will be written
by school counselors for students who have discipline andor attendance issues
bull Parents will be given information about afterschool programming at the district-wide
registration in the fall and at other school functions
3 Communication with Schools
a Equitable Service for Non-Public Schools
Students from Repairer of the Breach Ministries may take part in 21 st CCLC activities
(Attachment H p 9) During the Fall of2017 several in-person planning sessions and
telephone conversations took place with Lake Ridge administrators and Dr Mildred
Ewing Principal of Repairer of the Breach Ministries to plan for the attendance of her
students At present she has only one secondary student who might be interested in
attending the Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC program Dr Ewing is aware that academic
information for this student will be required to plan relevant sessions for him and to
evaluate his progress Dr Ewing agreed to be an active participant on the Lake Ridge
21 st CCLC Advisory Council
b Student Record Accessing
To differentiate instruction for students and to monitor progress instructional
personnel must have access to student data Student data reports will be generated by
the Lake Ridge RDS data management system and shared with instructors when
appropriate and with strict attention to privacy Permanent records may be accessed
Page 127
lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 1st CCLC Grant Proposal 201 7
by guidance personnel and the Progran1 Director Reports that will be used for
program evaluation will be generated using STN numbers rather than student names
Repairer of the Breach Ministries will provide student data to the Lake Ridge
Program Director for inclusion in state rep01is and to adjust the program
c Sharing Information on Students with Regular-day School Staffamp Families of
Participating Students and Community Stakeholders
Regular day staff will receive reports on student progress every nine weeks or more
frequently if the need ari ses Since the academic tutors are regular Lake Ridge
licensed teachers the reports may be informal or electronic The report may include
rates of progress and information on content so that the regular staff may coordinate
instruction with afterschool instruction Parents of students from Lake Ridge New
Tech Middle School Calumet New Tech High School and Repairer of the Breach
Ministries will receive information concerning the program and student recruitment in
a variety of ways as described on page 27 In addition every parent will receive a
21 st CCLC Parent Handbook which will include information about requirements for
academic achievement behavior and attendance There will also be program reports
that will be given to parents at regular parent programs Community members may
receive information on the Lake Ridge New Tech Schools website and from articles
in the Hammond Times and the Gay Post-Tribune
d Alignment ofIn-School and Out-of-School Time Efforts to Support Student Success
Lake Ridge Schools has an articulated K-1 2 curriculum which is based on Indiana
Academic Standards The K-1 2 curriculum may be found on the Lake Ridge home
page httpwww lakeridgekl2inus The afterschool program will be based on this
Page 128
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 21st CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
curriculum as well as the high school and middle school School Improvement Plans
which were derived from ISTEP+ PSAT NWEA and other local assessments
4 Programs that Promote Parental Involvement Family Literacy
and Related Educational_Development
Parental involvement in the Lake Ridge community is a challenge Many parents
do not have reliable transportation gas money or they feel uncomfortable because they
themselves were unsuccessful in school Parental involvement with the 21 st CCLC
Program will attack the parental involvement issue on two fronts Parent involvement
with students during the afterschool program and outside ofprogram hours (IAS 8)
Only parents of students enrolled in the 21st CCLC program will participate
Parent Engagement During Afterschool Hours These programs will engage
parents as they interact with their students Side-by-side events may include book
exchanges family game hours science experiments recreational sports and other fun and
educational activities that may be done by parents and students together These activities
will also serve to model for parents how they may help their students at home with
classwork (IAS 13) In addition sessions of a more serious nature may be offered for
parent and child that cover such issues as Internet safety violence prevention and how to
make positive life choices (IAS 13D) Parent classes will cover a variety of topics that
have been suggested on parent questionnaires and during discussions These classes may
include English for non-English speaking parents health and wellness parenting skills
technology recreational sports and literacy
ParentStudent Engagement Outside of Afterschool Hours These occasional
events may include students but will be held outside afterschool hours ( ex weekday
Page 129
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 21st CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
evenings Saturday etc) to accommodate the needs ofworking parents Only parents
who have students enrolled in the Lake Ridge 21st CCLC Program may participate
in these classesworkshops Classes might include literacy math crocheting Zumba
CPR music resume writing computer use and other topics that are requested by the
parents (IAS 15) When appropriate classes will be offered in both Spanish and English
Each school has a gymnasium large classrooms art and music rooms computer labs and
some have science labs so programs that are academic in nature as well as sports and
recreation may be offered The hoursdays of family services will not exceed that of the
student activities
Activities that are held outside of afterschool program time are opportunities to
promote schoolcommunity and family relationships These fun family events can be
educational for the entire family since there are many levels of learning that can be
experienced by family groups working on projects or just having fun together (IAS 9)
The Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC program will work with families and provide referral services
for other issues outside of its capabilities This plan to engage parents is comprehensive
and attainable because it is an extension of the regular school day as opposed to a standshy
alone activity and because it is based on parent requests
bull Offer classes for parents students and parent and student
bull Hold classes for parents at convenient times for working parents
bull Welcome parents daily into the afterschool program to participate with their students
bull Publicize parent opportunities well in advance of the events
bull Hold activities that reflect student and family interests ( communitystudent surveys)

Evidence of Previous Success
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools has operated 21 st CCLC programs for eight years due to
the generous funding from the government From 2010-2014 the program was implemented at
Calumet New Tech High School and in 2015 Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School was added
to the program These after-school programs provide services to high-poverty students who
would otherwise have no safe place to go after school no help with homework or the opportunity
to take part in enrichment classes and in some cases little to eat The Lake Ridge afterschool
program provides all of that dinner homework help fun socialization and a ride home
While mentioning roadblocks may not be the best way to start describing the stellar
accomplishments of the Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC programs there are factors that must be considered
1 The rate of transiency for Lake Ridge Schools varies from 40-60 This means that
it is not easy to amass 2- and 3-year data for students who are here today and gone
tomorrow In fact it is difficult even to achieve RAP status for our students which
makes the fact that both the middle and high school programs have made their RAP
numbers each year even more remarkable There was a 50 gain in ISTEP passage
in the middle and high schools combined for 3-year RAPs
2 After-school programming in secondary schools is difficult due to student
participation in sports clubs etc
3 Parent participation is difficult due to lack of transportation and stability in the home
Calumet New Tech High School
2014-2015 All Short-Term Performance Measures (STPM) were met and exceeded projections
2015-2016 All STPM were met with the exception of graduation for which the projection was
90 and the actual was 89
Page 160
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
2016-2017 Two STPM fell slightly short ofprojection The other STPM exceeded projection by 6
RAP Status The attendance target for the last 3 years was 70 RAPs The actual number of
RAPs exceeded the target for all three years
The success of the high school program included College and Career Readiness activities
that included a speaker panel and multiple college tours to which parents were invited F AFSA
nights were held for students and their parents Opportunities for Service Learning were provided
by allowing high school students to lead middle school activities There were also well-attended
enrichment activities that included music dance theater archery and other sports Students
attended a STEM camp at the Duneland Nature Center and parents took part in Strengthening
Families and EL parent night After-school students also attended and served as student
ambassadors at the Indiana Youth Institute state conference All of this was in addition to the
intensive tutoring and homework help that was offered The ISTEP and ECA Boot Camps
were well attended
Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School
2014-2015 STPMs fell slightly short of the projections
2015-2016 STPMS fell slightly short of the projections
2016-2017 STPMs exceeded the projections by at least 50
The disparity ofSTPMprojection and actual was due to the district switchingfrom
Acuity to NWEA Accurate comparable data was not available
RAP Status The projected RAP number was 81 for the last three years The first year RAP
projection was met at 81 The second year the RAP count increased to 111 and the third
year was 91

Middle School students and their parents attended college tours and heard guest speakers
on College and Career Readiness Enrichment activities included an award-winning
photography club archery foreign language Girls on the Run Camp Invention and a cooking
club A Jr Police Program which was led by a Lake County Sheriff Students attended a STEM
camp at the Duneland Nature Center The middle school held several programs and a Spring
Exhibition to showcase after-school student work to parents and the community Academic
programs included tutoring and homework help as well as ISTEP Jumpstart Lake Ridge New

skyrocketing poverty and crime despite struggling with low parent involvement and student
motivation is nevertheless one of the most exciting progressive school districts in Indiana For
the past four years Lake Ridge has been part of the 21 st CCLC Cohort 7 during which time the
21 st CCLC Programs at Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School and Calumet New Tech High
School have shown success in providing academic support enrichment a welcoming place for
parent involvement and a safe haven for students Surveys to students parents and community

part of the educational experience
This proposal describes how Lake Ridge New Tech Schools will continue the middle and
high school programs as they continue their growth toward self-sustainment The use of
partners will deepen and the coordination of other funding sources including Title I Title II
Title Ill and Title IV will increase Both programs will run 132 days offer academics

Career Readiness comprehensive school counseling and be extensions of the regular school
curricula which uses Indiana Academic Standards There will be an increased focus on affective
offerings as Lake Ridge New Tech schools move toward district certification in Trauma
Sensitive Instruction Finally both programs will offer opportunities for parents to take part in
their students programs
Students needs will be determined by academic benchmarks behavior data and

Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 21st CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
Calumet New Tech High School students have been found to read below grade level
Furthermore only 38 of middle school students and 64 of high school students passed math
on ISTEP The way in which regular day teachers interact with the afterschool program will
continue to be intentional and personalized and tutoring for English Language Arts Reading
and Math will be done by certified Lake Ridge teachers
In the move toward self-sustainment Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC programs will replace
courses that need outside funding with programs that are provided at little or no cost by partners
such as Ivy Tech Community College The past eight years have taught us that a key to making
an afterschool program successful is manpower and student supervision In addition to the
Program Director both the middle and high schools will have a Site Coordinator who will work
more closely with school administrators to upgrade protocols and procedures The middle school
Site Coordinator is a current Lake Ridge administrator and the high school Site Coordinator is
an experienced tutor and program organizer for Americorp in Valparaiso IN The 21 st CCLC
After-school Program is crucial to the academic and personal growth of Lake Ridge students
and the school district is committed to its success

III NEED FOR PROJECT
A The Lake Ridge New Tech Schools serve a small urban region that straddles the
boundaries between the City of Gary and an unincorporated region known as Calumet Township
The area is both economically and socially depressed Of the total Lake Ridge student population
of 1873 359 of the population is living in poverty (State average is 141 ) During SY
2016-2017 in Lake Ridge New Tech Schools there were 702 suspensions and 22 expulsions 6
involving drugs andor firearms Currently there are 20 known students on active probation in the
district as per the Lake County Sheriffs Office
B Clearly based on the above data Lake Ridge Schools has a critical need for an afterschool
community learning center ISTEP+ scores are for the most part below the state average
Without adequate remediation and additional learning time students will be locked into an
endless cycle ofcatch up Currently 532 of students in the middle school and 65 of the
high school students read below grade level as per NWEA

The need for expansion of counseling services is indicated by the administration of the
Adverse Childhood Experiences Survey (ACES) which indicated that the Lake Ridge students
have experienced 3+ types of trauma This is a tragically high number Lake Ridge has received a
Lilly Counseling Grant and a Title IV Grant which will train teachers aides and 21 st CCLC
personnel to work with students of trauma

C NeedsServices
Needs and services were identified through student and parent informal surveys and
discussions with students during the school day and after-school and parents at Side-by-Sides
conferences and Coffee Talks Partners gave suggestions informally and at Advisory Council
meetings Discussions were held with individual partners as MOUs were created and services
were decided upon This is an ongoing process and partners will serve on the Advisory council to
analyze data and make changes in the program as needed
IV PARTNERSHIPSCOLLABORATIONS
A The project will make use of grant funds from other sources when available For example
Title IIA will pick up some of the cost of professional development for Lake Ridge staff who are
teaching in the afterschool program Title Ill will also provide professional development for
afterschool Lake Ridge personnel who teach English Learner students and parents In addition
afterschool staff members may also be provided professional development for enrichment classes
Page I 15
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 21st CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
for identified High Ability students using High Ability Grant funds USDA Federal Funds will
also be used for the afterschool meals The Title IV Grant and the Lilly Comprehensive
Counseling Grant will be used to provide Trauma Sensitive training and afterschool group
counseling for students and their parents
B The following partners were selected because of their documented success with education
and their contribution to the workforce Also they were chosen because they meet the needs of
the community as determined by studentcommunity needs assessments All of the partners have
agreed to serve on the Advisory Council Furthermore the partners have assisted in planning
activities and will be kept apprised of ongoing program evaluations in order to adjust their
program participation over the course of the grant The list of partners will grow as Lake Ridge
makes this program self-sufaining by reducing the cost of afterschool activities ~ ~ ~ ~

Using disaggregated results from parent and student surveys the Advisory Council have
set the following parameters for the program
bull Courses aligned with Indiana Academic Standards must include literacy math and parts of School Improvement Plans as areas targeted for remediation
bull Enrichment maintenance and remediation needs of the students must be met bull Literacy and math based on the Indiana Academic Content Standards and the Lake
ridge curriculum maps will be the foundations for content offeringsactivities bull Technology and 21 st Century skills College and Career Readiness must be addressed bull Provisions for non-academic interests and skills (ie the arts etc) must be determined
by student interest bull Parent opportunities must be expanded not only for parent educational improvement
but also to foster parentchildschool relationships bull Behavioral and character education issues must be addressed bull The program must provide dinner and transportation home
The Advisory Council has many suggestions for meeting the above parameters The
Advisory Council will continue to meet with evaluator Dr Karen Venditti to review formative
data and make changes to the program as needed Students who are participating on the Council
will be rotated so that fresh anecdotal information is part of the evaluation process

B Evidence of Previous Success (Appendix pp 60-62)
C Design Requirements
1 Targeted Students and Their Families
In accordance with the requirements of GEPA 427 the following is a description of steps
to overcome barriers that may impede equitable access or participation in our program
All Lake Ridge middle and high school students participating in after-school services will
be afforded an opportunity to participate in the comprehensive program (Literacy Math
Career and College Readiness etc) regardless of gender race national origin color
disability or age All services offered will be tailored to individual needs with
accommodations as appropriate tutoring services (auditory component) Literacy and
Math Career and College Readiness activities (translation and developmentally
appropriate activitiesmaterials) transportation (handicapped accessible buses) Lake
Ridge Schools is a member of the Northwest Indiana Special Education Cooperative and
collaborates with them to provide appropriate services and accommodations
Furthermore since the plan includes families with limited English proficiency program
information will be distributed to such potential participants in their native language
Parent programs will have translation services when necessary
a See Attachment B page 2
b All students are targeted and will be recruited on the first day of school and during the
school year by flyers newsletters Lake Ridge website and by word-of-mouth
c Not applicable
d The Lake Ridge New Tech Schools serve a small urban region that straddles the
boundaries between the City of Gary and an unincorporated region known as Calumet

Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
Township The area is both economically and socially depressed Of the total Lake
Ridge student population of 1873 872 of the students are classified as freereduced
lunch and 359 of the population is living in poverty (State average is 141)
During SY 2016-2017 in Lake Ridge New Tech Schools there were 702 suspensions
and 22 expulsions 6 involving drugs andor firearms Currently there are 20 known
students on active probation in the district as per the Lake County Sheriffs Office
Clearly based on the above data Lake Ridge Schools has a critical need for an
afterschool community learning center Lake Ridge Schools is the hub of the
community and there is an urgent need for a place for the children to go after school
ISTEP+ scores are for the most part below the state average Without adequate
remediation and additional learning time students will be locked into an endless cycle of
catch up Currently 532 of students in the middle school and 65 of the high
school students read below grade level as per NWEA
2 Dissemination ofInformation
Parents of students from Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School Calumet New Tech High
School and Repairer of the Breach Ministries will receive information concerning
program logistics and student recruitment in a variety of ways including but not limited
to the following
bull Flyers will be sent home with students and mailed to parents of Lake Ridge and
Repairer of the Breach Ministries
bull Information will be available on the Lake Ridge website
bull Mass phone calls and text messages will be made on Alert Now
bull Information will be placed on school marquees
bull The local media will publish articles which praise the program
Page 126
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 215 CCLC Grant Proposal 20 I 7
bull A document similar to a college class brochure will list tutoring opportunities and
other classes that will be available after school This will be made available to
students and parents of students who participate in the program
bull Guidance counselors will confer with students who would benefit from the
afterschool program to urge them to take advantage of this opportunity
bull Behavior contracts that include attendance at the afterschool program will be written
by school counselors for students who have discipline andor attendance issues
bull Parents will be given information about afterschool programming at the district-wide
registration in the fall and at other school functions
3 Communication with Schools
a Equitable Service for Non-Public Schools
Students from Repairer of the Breach Ministries may take part in 21 st CCLC activities
(Attachment H p 9) During the Fall of2017 several in-person planning sessions and
telephone conversations took place with Lake Ridge administrators and Dr Mildred
Ewing Principal of Repairer of the Breach Ministries to plan for the attendance of her
students At present she has only one secondary student who might be interested in
attending the Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC program Dr Ewing is aware that academic
information for this student will be required to plan relevant sessions for him and to
evaluate his progress Dr Ewing agreed to be an active participant on the Lake Ridge
21 st CCLC Advisory Council
b Student Record Accessing
To differentiate instruction for students and to monitor progress instructional
personnel must have access to student data Student data reports will be generated by
the Lake Ridge RDS data management system and shared with instructors when
appropriate and with strict attention to privacy Permanent records may be accessed
Page 127
lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 1st CCLC Grant Proposal 201 7
by guidance personnel and the Progran1 Director Reports that will be used for
program evaluation will be generated using STN numbers rather than student names
Repairer of the Breach Ministries will provide student data to the Lake Ridge
Program Director for inclusion in state rep01is and to adjust the program
c Sharing Information on Students with Regular-day School Staffamp Families of
Participating Students and Community Stakeholders
Regular day staff will receive reports on student progress every nine weeks or more
frequently if the need ari ses Since the academic tutors are regular Lake Ridge
licensed teachers the reports may be informal or electronic The report may include
rates of progress and information on content so that the regular staff may coordinate
instruction with afterschool instruction Parents of students from Lake Ridge New
Tech Middle School Calumet New Tech High School and Repairer of the Breach
Ministries will receive information concerning the program and student recruitment in
a variety of ways as described on page 27 In addition every parent will receive a
21 st CCLC Parent Handbook which will include information about requirements for
academic achievement behavior and attendance There will also be program reports
that will be given to parents at regular parent programs Community members may
receive information on the Lake Ridge New Tech Schools website and from articles
in the Hammond Times and the Gay Post-Tribune
d Alignment ofIn-School and Out-of-School Time Efforts to Support Student Success
Lake Ridge Schools has an articulated K-1 2 curriculum which is based on Indiana
Academic Standards The K-1 2 curriculum may be found on the Lake Ridge home
page httpwww lakeridgekl2inus The afterschool program will be based on this
Page 128
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 21st CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
curriculum as well as the high school and middle school School Improvement Plans
which were derived from ISTEP+ PSAT NWEA and other local assessments
4 Programs that Promote Parental Involvement Family Literacy
and Related Educational_Development
Parental involvement in the Lake Ridge community is a challenge Many parents
do not have reliable transportation gas money or they feel uncomfortable because they
themselves were unsuccessful in school Parental involvement with the 21 st CCLC
Program will attack the parental involvement issue on two fronts Parent involvement
with students during the afterschool program and outside ofprogram hours (IAS 8)
Only parents of students enrolled in the 21st CCLC program will participate
Parent Engagement During Afterschool Hours These programs will engage
parents as they interact with their students Side-by-side events may include book
exchanges family game hours science experiments recreational sports and other fun and
educational activities that may be done by parents and students together These activities
will also serve to model for parents how they may help their students at home with
classwork (IAS 13) In addition sessions of a more serious nature may be offered for
parent and child that cover such issues as Internet safety violence prevention and how to
make positive life choices (IAS 13D) Parent classes will cover a variety of topics that
have been suggested on parent questionnaires and during discussions These classes may
include English for non-English speaking parents health and wellness parenting skills
technology recreational sports and literacy
ParentStudent Engagement Outside of Afterschool Hours These occasional
events may include students but will be held outside afterschool hours ( ex weekday
Page 129
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 21st CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
evenings Saturday etc) to accommodate the needs ofworking parents Only parents
who have students enrolled in the Lake Ridge 21st CCLC Program may participate
in these classesworkshops Classes might include literacy math crocheting Zumba
CPR music resume writing computer use and other topics that are requested by the
parents (IAS 15) When appropriate classes will be offered in both Spanish and English
Each school has a gymnasium large classrooms art and music rooms computer labs and
some have science labs so programs that are academic in nature as well as sports and
recreation may be offered The hoursdays of family services will not exceed that of the
student activities
Activities that are held outside of afterschool program time are opportunities to
promote schoolcommunity and family relationships These fun family events can be
educational for the entire family since there are many levels of learning that can be
experienced by family groups working on projects or just having fun together (IAS 9)
The Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC program will work with families and provide referral services
for other issues outside of its capabilities This plan to engage parents is comprehensive
and attainable because it is an extension of the regular school day as opposed to a standshy
alone activity and because it is based on parent requests
bull Offer classes for parents students and parent and student
bull Hold classes for parents at convenient times for working parents
bull Welcome parents daily into the afterschool program to participate with their students
bull Publicize parent opportunities well in advance of the events
bull Hold activities that reflect student and family interests ( communitystudent surveys)

Lake Ridge Schools has an ar1iculated K-12 curriculum which is based on Indiana
Academic Standards The K-12 curriculum may be found on the Lake Ridge home page

on the School Improvement Plans which were derived from ISTEP+ NWEA ECA and other
local assessments All Lake Ridge teachers have received professional development in the
Indiana Academic Standards and are active in developing the curriculum Using this curriculum
and data obtained from state and local assessments afterschool instructors will create learning
experiences for students in the afterschool program which is an extension of the school day
Page I 38
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
Literacy Math and College and Career Readiness will serve as the foundations for the
afterschool academic curricula at the middle and high schools and will be the primary vehicles
through which other skills and content areas are taught Both schools School Improvement
Plans which are on file with the IDOE focus on reading and math In addition College and
Career Readiness will include career exploration 21 st Century skills and diversity
IX SUSTAINABILITY PLAN
The partnerships listed in Section IV will continue after the four-year grant period ends
Instruction will be done by partners volunteers high school students who are working for Service
Learning credits and instructors paid by the district and other grants Other grants such as Titles I
IIA III and IV will provide additional funding for professional development parent involvement
and student remediation It is vital to the success of Lake Ridge New Tech students that there is
an all-out effort to recruit and retain partners for the 21 st CCLC program Although most of the
partners listed in the grant will provide in-kind matches additional funds will be necessary to
maintain the program after the grant period Some personnel costs will be absorbed by Lake
Ridge Lake Ridge New Tech Schools is not in a position from which it can approach improved
student achievement lightly and will do whatever it takes to sustain this program

Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
Evidence of Previous Success
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools has operated 21 st CCLC programs for eight years due to
the generous funding from the government From 2010-2014 the program was implemented at
Calumet New Tech High School and in 2015 Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School was added
to the program These after-school programs provide services to high-poverty students who
would otherwise have no safe place to go after school no help with homework or the opportunity
to take part in enrichment classes and in some cases little to eat The Lake Ridge afterschool
program provides all of that dinner homework help fun socialization and a ride home
While mentioning roadblocks may not be the best way to start describing the stellar
accomplishments of the Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC programs there are factors that must be considered
1 The rate of transiency for Lake Ridge Schools varies from 40-60 This means that
it is not easy to amass 2- and 3-year data for students who are here today and gone
tomorrow In fact it is difficult even to achieve RAP status for our students which
makes the fact that both the middle and high school programs have made their RAP
numbers each year even more remarkable There was a 50 gain in ISTEP passage
in the middle and high schools combined for 3-year RAPs
2 After-school programming in secondary schools is difficult due to student
participation in sports clubs etc
3 Parent participation is difficult due to lack of transportation and stability in the home
Calumet New Tech High School
2014-2015 All Short-Term Performance Measures (STPM) were met and exceeded projections
2015-2016 All STPM were met with the exception of graduation for which the projection was
90 and the actual was 89
Page 160
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
2016-2017 Two STPM fell slightly short ofprojection The other STPM exceeded projection by 6
RAP Status The attendance target for the last 3 years was 70 RAPs The actual number of
RAPs exceeded the target for all three years
The success of the high school program included College and Career Readiness activities
that included a speaker panel and multiple college tours to which parents were invited F AFSA
nights were held for students and their parents Opportunities for Service Learning were provided
by allowing high school students to lead middle school activities There were also well-attended
enrichment activities that included music dance theater archery and other sports Students
attended a STEM camp at the Duneland Nature Center and parents took part in Strengthening
Families and EL parent night After-school students also attended and served as student
ambassadors at the Indiana Youth Institute state conference All of this was in addition to the
intensive tutoring and homework help that was offered The ISTEP and ECA Boot Camps
were well attended
Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School
2014-2015 STPMs fell slightly short of the projections
2015-2016 STPMS fell slightly short of the projections
2016-2017 STPMs exceeded the projections by at least 50
The disparity ofSTPMprojection and actual was due to the district switchingfrom
Acuity to NWEA Accurate comparable data was not available
RAP Status The projected RAP number was 81 for the last three years The first year RAP
projection was met at 81 The second year the RAP count increased to 111 and the third
year was 91

Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 1 CCLC Grant Proposal 201 7
Middle School students and their parents attended college tours and heard guest speakers
on College and Career Readiness Enrichment activities included an award-winning
photography club archery foreign language Girls on the Run Camp Invention and a cooking
club A Jr Police Program which was led by a Lake County Sheriff Students attended a STEM
camp at the Duneland Nature Center The middle school held several programs and a Spring
Exhibition to showcase after-school student work to parents and the community Academic
programs included tutoring and homework help as well as ISTEP Jumpstart Lake Ridge New

Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 21st CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
I Abstract
Lake Ridge Schools despite being one of the poorest districts in Indiana despite having
skyrocketing poverty and crime despite struggling with low parent involvement and student
motivation is nevertheless one of the most exciting progressive school districts in Indiana For
the past four years Lake Ridge has been part of the 21 st CCLC Cohort 7 during which time the
21 st CCLC Programs at Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School and Calumet New Tech High
School have shown success in providing academic support enrichment a welcoming place for
parent involvement and a safe haven for students Surveys to students parents and community
members reveal that they value the 21 st CCLC After-school Program and see it as an intrinsic
part of the educational experience
This proposal describes how Lake Ridge New Tech Schools will continue the middle and
high school programs as they continue their growth toward self-sustainment The use of
partners will deepen and the coordination of other funding sources including Title I Title II
Title Ill and Title IV will increase Both programs will run 132 days offer academics
enrichment dinner and bus service Both programs will focus on Literacy STEM College and
Career Readiness comprehensive school counseling and be extensions of the regular school
curricula which uses Indiana Academic Standards There will be an increased focus on affective
offerings as Lake Ridge New Tech schools move toward district certification in Trauma
Sensitive Instruction Finally both programs will offer opportunities for parents to take part in
their students programs
Students needs will be determined by academic benchmarks behavior data and
parentstudent surveys Because of the overall low reading lexiles and test scores there will be
dedicated tutoringreading time for all students as well as enrichment classes More than 65 of
Page I 11
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 21st CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
Calumet New Tech High School students have been found to read below grade level
Furthermore only 38 of middle school students and 64 of high school students passed math
on ISTEP The way in which regular day teachers interact with the afterschool program will
continue to be intentional and personalized and tutoring for English Language Arts Reading
and Math will be done by certified Lake Ridge teachers
In the move toward self-sustainment Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC programs will replace
courses that need outside funding with programs that are provided at little or no cost by partners
such as Ivy Tech Community College The past eight years have taught us that a key to making
an afterschool program successful is manpower and student supervision In addition to the
Program Director both the middle and high schools will have a Site Coordinator who will work
more closely with school administrators to upgrade protocols and procedures The middle school
Site Coordinator is a current Lake Ridge administrator and the high school Site Coordinator is
an experienced tutor and program organizer for Americorp in Valparaiso IN The 21 st CCLC
After-school Program is crucial to the academic and personal growth of Lake Ridge students
and the school district is committed to its success

III NEED FOR PROJECT
A The Lake Ridge New Tech Schools serve a small urban region that straddles the
boundaries between the City of Gary and an unincorporated region known as Calumet Township
The area is both economically and socially depressed Of the total Lake Ridge student population
of 1873 359 of the population is living in poverty (State average is 141 ) During SY
2016-2017 in Lake Ridge New Tech Schools there were 702 suspensions and 22 expulsions 6
involving drugs andor firearms Currently there are 20 known students on active probation in the
district as per the Lake County Sheriffs Office
B Clearly based on the above data Lake Ridge Schools has a critical need for an afterschool
community learning center ISTEP+ scores are for the most part below the state average
Without adequate remediation and additional learning time students will be locked into an
endless cycle ofcatch up Currently 532 of students in the middle school and 65 of the
high school students read below grade level as per NWEA

The need for expansion of counseling services is indicated by the administration of the
Adverse Childhood Experiences Survey (ACES) which indicated that the Lake Ridge students
have experienced 3+ types of trauma This is a tragically high number Lake Ridge has received a
Lilly Counseling Grant and a Title IV Grant which will train teachers aides and 21 st CCLC
personnel to work with students of trauma

C NeedsServices
Needs and services were identified through student and parent informal surveys and
discussions with students during the school day and after-school and parents at Side-by-Sides
conferences and Coffee Talks Partners gave suggestions informally and at Advisory Council
meetings Discussions were held with individual partners as MOUs were created and services
were decided upon This is an ongoing process and partners will serve on the Advisory council to
analyze data and make changes in the program as needed

Using disaggregated results from parent and student surveys the Advisory Council have
set the following parameters for the program
bull Courses aligned with Indiana Academic Standards must include literacy math and parts of School Improvement Plans as areas targeted for remediation
bull Enrichment maintenance and remediation needs of the students must be met bull Literacy and math based on the Indiana Academic Content Standards and the Lake
ridge curriculum maps will be the foundations for content offeringsactivities bull Technology and 21 st Century skills College and Career Readiness must be addressed bull Provisions for non-academic interests and skills (ie the arts etc) must be determined
by student interest bull Parent opportunities must be expanded not only for parent educational improvement
but also to foster parentchildschool relationships bull Behavioral and character education issues must be addressed bull The program must provide dinner and transportation home
The Advisory Council has many suggestions for meeting the above parameters The
Advisory Council will continue to meet with evaluator Dr Karen Venditti to review formative
data and make changes to the program as needed Students who are participating on the Council
will be rotated so that fresh anecdotal information is part of the evaluation process

C Design Requirements
1 Targeted Students and Their Families
In accordance with the requirements of GEPA 427 the following is a description of steps
to overcome barriers that may impede equitable access or participation in our program
All Lake Ridge middle and high school students participating in after-school services will
be afforded an opportunity to participate in the comprehensive program (Literacy Math
Career and College Readiness etc) regardless of gender race national origin color
disability or age All services offered will be tailored to individual needs with
accommodations as appropriate tutoring services (auditory component) Literacy and
Math Career and College Readiness activities (translation and developmentally
appropriate activitiesmaterials) transportation (handicapped accessible buses) Lake
Ridge Schools is a member of the Northwest Indiana Special Education Cooperative and
collaborates with them to provide appropriate services and accommodations
Furthermore since the plan includes families with limited English proficiency program
information will be distributed to such potential participants in their native language
Parent programs will have translation services when necessary
a See Attachment B page 2
b All students are targeted and will be recruited on the first day of school and during the
school year by flyers newsletters Lake Ridge website and by word-of-mouth
c Not applicable
d The Lake Ridge New Tech Schools serve a small urban region that straddles the
boundaries between the City of Gary and an unincorporated region known as Calumet
Page 125
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
Township The area is both economically and socially depressed Of the total Lake
Ridge student population of 1873 872 of the students are classified as freereduced
lunch and 359 of the population is living in poverty (State average is 141)
During SY 2016-2017 in Lake Ridge New Tech Schools there were 702 suspensions
and 22 expulsions 6 involving drugs andor firearms Currently there are 20 known
students on active probation in the district as per the Lake County Sheriffs Office
Clearly based on the above data Lake Ridge Schools has a critical need for an
afterschool community learning center Lake Ridge Schools is the hub of the
community and there is an urgent need for a place for the children to go after school
ISTEP+ scores are for the most part below the state average Without adequate
remediation and additional learning time students will be locked into an endless cycle of
catch up Currently 532 of students in the middle school and 65 of the high
school students read below grade level as per NWEA
2 Dissemination ofInformation
Parents of students from Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School Calumet New Tech High
School and Repairer of the Breach Ministries will receive information concerning
program logistics and student recruitment in a variety of ways including but not limited
to the following
bull Flyers will be sent home with students and mailed to parents of Lake Ridge and
Repairer of the Breach Ministries
bull Information will be available on the Lake Ridge website
bull Mass phone calls and text messages will be made on Alert Now
bull Information will be placed on school marquees
bull The local media will publish articles which praise the program
Page 126
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 215 CCLC Grant Proposal 20 I 7
bull A document similar to a college class brochure will list tutoring opportunities and
other classes that will be available after school This will be made available to
students and parents of students who participate in the program
bull Guidance counselors will confer with students who would benefit from the
afterschool program to urge them to take advantage of this opportunity
bull Behavior contracts that include attendance at the afterschool program will be written
by school counselors for students who have discipline andor attendance issues
bull Parents will be given information about afterschool programming at the district-wide
registration in the fall and at other school functions
3 Communication with Schools
a Equitable Service for Non-Public Schools
Students from Repairer of the Breach Ministries may take part in 21 st CCLC activities
(Attachment H p 9) During the Fall of2017 several in-person planning sessions and
telephone conversations took place with Lake Ridge administrators and Dr Mildred
Ewing Principal of Repairer of the Breach Ministries to plan for the attendance of her
students At present she has only one secondary student who might be interested in
attending the Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC program Dr Ewing is aware that academic
information for this student will be required to plan relevant sessions for him and to
evaluate his progress Dr Ewing agreed to be an active participant on the Lake Ridge
21 st CCLC Advisory Council
b Student Record Accessing
To differentiate instruction for students and to monitor progress instructional
personnel must have access to student data Student data reports will be generated by
the Lake Ridge RDS data management system and shared with instructors when
appropriate and with strict attention to privacy Permanent records may be accessed
Page 127
lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 1st CCLC Grant Proposal 201 7
by guidance personnel and the Progran1 Director Reports that will be used for
program evaluation will be generated using STN numbers rather than student names
Repairer of the Breach Ministries will provide student data to the Lake Ridge
Program Director for inclusion in state rep01is and to adjust the program
c Sharing Information on Students with Regular-day School Staffamp Families of
Participating Students and Community Stakeholders
Regular day staff will receive reports on student progress every nine weeks or more
frequently if the need ari ses Since the academic tutors are regular Lake Ridge
licensed teachers the reports may be informal or electronic The report may include
rates of progress and information on content so that the regular staff may coordinate
instruction with afterschool instruction Parents of students from Lake Ridge New
Tech Middle School Calumet New Tech High School and Repairer of the Breach
Ministries will receive information concerning the program and student recruitment in
a variety of ways as described on page 27 In addition every parent will receive a
21 st CCLC Parent Handbook which will include information about requirements for
academic achievement behavior and attendance There will also be program reports
that will be given to parents at regular parent programs Community members may
receive information on the Lake Ridge New Tech Schools website and from articles
in the Hammond Times and the Gay Post-Tribune
d Alignment ofIn-School and Out-of-School Time Efforts to Support Student Success
Lake Ridge Schools has an articulated K-1 2 curriculum which is based on Indiana
Academic Standards The K-1 2 curriculum may be found on the Lake Ridge home
page httpwww lakeridgekl2inus The afterschool program will be based on this
Page 128
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 21st CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
curriculum as well as the high school and middle school School Improvement Plans
which were derived from ISTEP+ PSAT NWEA and other local assessments
4 Programs that Promote Parental Involvement Family Literacy
and Related Educational_Development
Parental involvement in the Lake Ridge community is a challenge Many parents
do not have reliable transportation gas money or they feel uncomfortable because they
themselves were unsuccessful in school Parental involvement with the 21 st CCLC
Program will attack the parental involvement issue on two fronts Parent involvement
with students during the afterschool program and outside ofprogram hours (IAS 8)
Only parents of students enrolled in the 21st CCLC program will participate
Parent Engagement During Afterschool Hours These programs will engage
parents as they interact with their students Side-by-side events may include book
exchanges family game hours science experiments recreational sports and other fun and
educational activities that may be done by parents and students together These activities
will also serve to model for parents how they may help their students at home with
classwork (IAS 13) In addition sessions of a more serious nature may be offered for
parent and child that cover such issues as Internet safety violence prevention and how to
make positive life choices (IAS 13D) Parent classes will cover a variety of topics that
have been suggested on parent questionnaires and during discussions These classes may
include English for non-English speaking parents health and wellness parenting skills
technology recreational sports and literacy
ParentStudent Engagement Outside of Afterschool Hours These occasional
events may include students but will be held outside afterschool hours ( ex weekday
Page 129
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 21st CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
evenings Saturday etc) to accommodate the needs ofworking parents Only parents
who have students enrolled in the Lake Ridge 21st CCLC Program may participate
in these classesworkshops Classes might include literacy math crocheting Zumba
CPR music resume writing computer use and other topics that are requested by the
parents (IAS 15) When appropriate classes will be offered in both Spanish and English
Each school has a gymnasium large classrooms art and music rooms computer labs and
some have science labs so programs that are academic in nature as well as sports and
recreation may be offered The hoursdays of family services will not exceed that of the
student activities
Activities that are held outside of afterschool program time are opportunities to
promote schoolcommunity and family relationships These fun family events can be
educational for the entire family since there are many levels of learning that can be
experienced by family groups working on projects or just having fun together (IAS 9)
The Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC program will work with families and provide referral services
for other issues outside of its capabilities This plan to engage parents is comprehensive
and attainable because it is an extension of the regular school day as opposed to a standshy
alone activity and because it is based on parent requests
bull Offer classes for parents students and parent and student
bull Hold classes for parents at convenient times for working parents
bull Welcome parents daily into the afterschool program to participate with their students
bull Publicize parent opportunities well in advance of the events
bull Hold activities that reflect student and family interests ( communitystudent surveys)

VIII SUPPORT for STRATEGIC PRIORITIES
Lake Ridge Schools has an ar1iculated K-12 curriculum which is based on Indiana
Academic Standards The K-12 curriculum may be found on the Lake Ridge home page
httplakeridgek12inus The afterschool program will be based on this curriculum as well as
on the School Improvement Plans which were derived from ISTEP+ NWEA ECA and other
local assessments All Lake Ridge teachers have received professional development in the
Indiana Academic Standards and are active in developing the curriculum Using this curriculum
and data obtained from state and local assessments afterschool instructors will create learning
experiences for students in the afterschool program which is an extension of the school day
Page I 38
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
Literacy Math and College and Career Readiness will serve as the foundations for the
afterschool academic curricula at the middle and high schools and will be the primary vehicles
through which other skills and content areas are taught Both schools School Improvement
Plans which are on file with the IDOE focus on reading and math In addition College and
Career Readiness will include career exploration 21 st Century skills and diversity
IX SUSTAINABILITY PLAN
The partnerships listed in Section IV will continue after the four-year grant period ends
Instruction will be done by partners volunteers high school students who are working for Service
Learning credits and instructors paid by the district and other grants Other grants such as Titles I
IIA III and IV will provide additional funding for professional development parent involvement
and student remediation It is vital to the success of Lake Ridge New Tech students that there is
an all-out effort to recruit and retain partners for the 21 st CCLC program Although most of the
partners listed in the grant will provide in-kind matches additional funds will be necessary to
maintain the program after the grant period Some personnel costs will be absorbed by Lake
Ridge Lake Ridge New Tech Schools is not in a position from which it can approach improved
student achievement lightly and will do whatever it takes to sustain this program

X SAFETY AND TRANSPORTATION
A Safety is always a priority for Lake Ridge Schools Both the middle and high schools
have multiple trained safety specialists Emergency plans are kept current posted and staff
routinely reviews safety procedures All afterschool staff have on their cell phones an app called
REM4 which has the district safety plan and procedures contacts and an instant notification for
first responders All buildings are equipped with cameras and doors are locked Visitors must be
buzzed in and immediately report to the office The SRO will be available to afterschool
personnel in the event an emergency arises
Page 140
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 215 CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
B All Lake Ridge personnel including substitutes and volunteers undergo background
checks All afterschool instructors and volunteers who are not employees of Lake Ridge Schools
will be required to undergo the same background check The results of the background checks
are maintained in the Lake Ridge Central Office and are private When certified teachers are
required to teach content areas they will be fully licensed in their subject areas DOE teacher
licensing requires certification in CPR and AED
C The 21 st CCLC Programs are held in the middle and high schools There are no sidewalks
in the area so walkers are not allowed Bus transportation will be available after school at each
building The bus routes will be assigned each day by the Lake Ridge Transportation Director

seeing that the students are properly supervised while waiting for the bus and that all students are
accounted for and have transportation home Parents will not be expected to pick up their
students Parents who choose to pick up their students must show identification and sign for that
student The Lake County Sheriffs Office is in contact with the Lake Ridge School Resource
Officers about this program Extra law enforcement will be in place to make sure that the
children are safe during the program and on the way home Parents will be given specific
information about release times
College tours and field trips will be arranged using the Lake Ridge stringent set of safety
requirements and codes of conduct for students Furthermore the trips will be heavily

Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
Evidence of Previous Success
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools has operated 21 st CCLC programs for eight years due to
the generous funding from the government From 2010-2014 the program was implemented at
Calumet New Tech High School and in 2015 Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School was added
to the program These after-school programs provide services to high-poverty students who
would otherwise have no safe place to go after school no help with homework or the opportunity
to take part in enrichment classes and in some cases little to eat The Lake Ridge afterschool
program provides all of that dinner homework help fun socialization and a ride home
While mentioning roadblocks may not be the best way to start describing the stellar
accomplishments of the Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC programs there are factors that must be considered
1 The rate of transiency for Lake Ridge Schools varies from 40-60 This means that
it is not easy to amass 2- and 3-year data for students who are here today and gone
tomorrow In fact it is difficult even to achieve RAP status for our students which
makes the fact that both the middle and high school programs have made their RAP
numbers each year even more remarkable There was a 50 gain in ISTEP passage
in the middle and high schools combined for 3-year RAPs
2 After-school programming in secondary schools is difficult due to student
participation in sports clubs etc
3 Parent participation is difficult due to lack of transportation and stability in the home
Calumet New Tech High School

I Abstract
Lake Ridge Schools despite being one of the poorest districts in Indiana despite having
skyrocketing poverty and crime despite struggling with low parent involvement and student
motivation is nevertheless one of the most exciting progressive school districts in Indiana For
the past four years Lake Ridge has been part of the 21 st CCLC Cohort 7 during which time the
21 st CCLC Programs at Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School and Calumet New Tech High
School have shown success in providing academic support enrichment a welcoming place for
parent involvement and a safe haven for students Surveys to students parents and community
members reveal that they value the 21 st CCLC After-school Program and see it as an intrinsic
part of the educational experience
This proposal describes how Lake Ridge New Tech Schools will continue the middle and
high school programs as they continue their growth toward self-sustainment The use of
partners will deepen and the coordination of other funding sources including Title I Title II
Title Ill and Title IV will increase Both programs will run 132 days offer academics
enrichment dinner and bus service Both programs will focus on Literacy STEM College and
Career Readiness comprehensive school counseling and be extensions of the regular school
curricula which uses Indiana Academic Standards There will be an increased focus on affective
offerings as Lake Ridge New Tech schools move toward district certification in Trauma
Sensitive Instruction Finally both programs will offer opportunities for parents to take part in
their students programs
Students needs will be determined by academic benchmarks behavior data and
parentstudent surveys Because of the overall low reading lexiles and test scores there will be
dedicated tutoringreading time for all students as well as enrichment classes More than 65 of
Page I 11
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 21st CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
Calumet New Tech High School students have been found to read below grade level
Furthermore only 38 of middle school students and 64 of high school students passed math
on ISTEP The way in which regular day teachers interact with the afterschool program will
continue to be intentional and personalized and tutoring for English Language Arts Reading
and Math will be done by certified Lake Ridge teachers
In the move toward self-sustainment Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC programs will replace
courses that need outside funding with programs that are provided at little or no cost by partners
such as Ivy Tech Community College The past eight years have taught us that a key to making
an afterschool program successful is manpower and student supervision In addition to the
Program Director both the middle and high schools will have a Site Coordinator who will work
more closely with school administrators to upgrade protocols and procedures The middle school
Site Coordinator is a current Lake Ridge administrator and the high school Site Coordinator is
an experienced tutor and program organizer for Americorp in Valparaiso IN The 21 st CCLC
After-school Program is crucial to the academic and personal growth of Lake Ridge students
and the school district is committed to its success

III NEED FOR PROJECT
A The Lake Ridge New Tech Schools serve a small urban region that straddles the
boundaries between the City of Gary and an unincorporated region known as Calumet Township
The area is both economically and socially depressed Of the total Lake Ridge student population
of 1873 359 of the population is living in poverty (State average is 141 ) During SY
2016-2017 in Lake Ridge New Tech Schools there were 702 suspensions and 22 expulsions 6
involving drugs andor firearms Currently there are 20 known students on active probation in the
district as per the Lake County Sheriffs Office
B Clearly based on the above data Lake Ridge Schools has a critical need for an afterschool
community learning center ISTEP+ scores are for the most part below the state average
Without adequate remediation and additional learning time students will be locked into an
endless cycle ofcatch up Currently 532 of students in the middle school and 65 of the
high school students read below grade level as per NWEA

The need for expansion of counseling services is indicated by the administration of the
Adverse Childhood Experiences Survey (ACES) which indicated that the Lake Ridge students
have experienced 3+ types of trauma This is a tragically high number Lake Ridge has received a
Lilly Counseling Grant and a Title IV Grant which will train teachers aides and 21 st CCLC
personnel to work with students of trauma

C NeedsServices
Needs and services were identified through student and parent informal surveys and
discussions with students during the school day and after-school and parents at Side-by-Sides
conferences and Coffee Talks Partners gave suggestions informally and at Advisory Council
meetings Discussions were held with individual partners as MOUs were created and services
were decided upon This is an ongoing process and partners will serve on the Advisory council to
analyze data and make changes in the program as needed

Using disaggregated results from parent and student surveys the Advisory Council have
set the following parameters for the program
bull Courses aligned with Indiana Academic Standards must include literacy math and parts of School Improvement Plans as areas targeted for remediation
bull Enrichment maintenance and remediation needs of the students must be met bull Literacy and math based on the Indiana Academic Content Standards and the Lake
ridge curriculum maps will be the foundations for content offeringsactivities bull Technology and 21 st Century skills College and Career Readiness must be addressed bull Provisions for non-academic interests and skills (ie the arts etc) must be determined
by student interest bull Parent opportunities must be expanded not only for parent educational improvement
but also to foster parentchildschool relationships bull Behavioral and character education issues must be addressed bull The program must provide dinner and transportation home
The Advisory Council has many suggestions for meeting the above parameters The
Advisory Council will continue to meet with evaluator Dr Karen Venditti to review formative
data and make changes to the program as needed Students who are participating on the Council
will be rotated so that fresh anecdotal information is part of the evaluation process

B Evidence of Previous Success (Appendix pp 60-62)
C Design Requirements
1 Targeted Students and Their Families
In accordance with the requirements of GEPA 427 the following is a description of steps
to overcome barriers that may impede equitable access or participation in our program
All Lake Ridge middle and high school students participating in after-school services will
be afforded an opportunity to participate in the comprehensive program (Literacy Math
Career and College Readiness etc) regardless of gender race national origin color
disability or age All services offered will be tailored to individual needs with
accommodations as appropriate tutoring services (auditory component) Literacy and
Math Career and College Readiness activities (translation and developmentally
appropriate activitiesmaterials) transportation (handicapped accessible buses) Lake
Ridge Schools is a member of the Northwest Indiana Special Education Cooperative and
collaborates with them to provide appropriate services and accommodations
Furthermore since the plan includes families with limited English proficiency program
information will be distributed to such potential participants in their native language
Parent programs will have translation services when necessary
a See Attachment B page 2
b All students are targeted and will be recruited on the first day of school and during the
school year by flyers newsletters Lake Ridge website and by word-of-mouth
c Not applicable
d The Lake Ridge New Tech Schools serve a small urban region that straddles the
boundaries between the City of Gary and an unincorporated region known as Calumet
Page 125
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
Township The area is both economically and socially depressed Of the total Lake
Ridge student population of 1873 872 of the students are classified as freereduced
lunch and 359 of the population is living in poverty (State average is 141)
During SY 2016-2017 in Lake Ridge New Tech Schools there were 702 suspensions
and 22 expulsions 6 involving drugs andor firearms Currently there are 20 known
students on active probation in the district as per the Lake County Sheriffs Office
Clearly based on the above data Lake Ridge Schools has a critical need for an
afterschool community learning center Lake Ridge Schools is the hub of the
community and there is an urgent need for a place for the children to go after school
ISTEP+ scores are for the most part below the state average Without adequate
remediation and additional learning time students will be locked into an endless cycle of
catch up Currently 532 of students in the middle school and 65 of the high
school students read below grade level as per NWEA
2 Dissemination ofInformation
Parents of students from Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School Calumet New Tech High
School and Repairer of the Breach Ministries will receive information concerning
program logistics and student recruitment in a variety of ways including but not limited
to the following
bull Flyers will be sent home with students and mailed to parents of Lake Ridge and
Repairer of the Breach Ministries
bull Information will be available on the Lake Ridge website
bull Mass phone calls and text messages will be made on Alert Now
bull Information will be placed on school marquees
bull The local media will publish articles which praise the program
Page 126
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 215 CCLC Grant Proposal 20 I 7
bull A document similar to a college class brochure will list tutoring opportunities and
other classes that will be available after school This will be made available to
students and parents of students who participate in the program
bull Guidance counselors will confer with students who would benefit from the
afterschool program to urge them to take advantage of this opportunity
bull Behavior contracts that include attendance at the afterschool program will be written
by school counselors for students who have discipline andor attendance issues
bull Parents will be given information about afterschool programming at the district-wide
registration in the fall and at other school functions
3 Communication with Schools
a Equitable Service for Non-Public Schools
Students from Repairer of the Breach Ministries may take part in 21 st CCLC activities
(Attachment H p 9) During the Fall of2017 several in-person planning sessions and
telephone conversations took place with Lake Ridge administrators and Dr Mildred
Ewing Principal of Repairer of the Breach Ministries to plan for the attendance of her
students At present she has only one secondary student who might be interested in
attending the Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC program Dr Ewing is aware that academic
information for this student will be required to plan relevant sessions for him and to
evaluate his progress Dr Ewing agreed to be an active participant on the Lake Ridge
21 st CCLC Advisory Council
b Student Record Accessing
To differentiate instruction for students and to monitor progress instructional
personnel must have access to student data Student data reports will be generated by
the Lake Ridge RDS data management system and shared with instructors when
appropriate and with strict attention to privacy Permanent records may be accessed
Page 127
lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 1st CCLC Grant Proposal 201 7
by guidance personnel and the Progran1 Director Reports that will be used for
program evaluation will be generated using STN numbers rather than student names
Repairer of the Breach Ministries will provide student data to the Lake Ridge
Program Director for inclusion in state rep01is and to adjust the program
c Sharing Information on Students with Regular-day School Staffamp Families of
Participating Students and Community Stakeholders
Regular day staff will receive reports on student progress every nine weeks or more
frequently if the need ari ses Since the academic tutors are regular Lake Ridge
licensed teachers the reports may be informal or electronic The report may include
rates of progress and information on content so that the regular staff may coordinate
instruction with afterschool instruction Parents of students from Lake Ridge New
Tech Middle School Calumet New Tech High School and Repairer of the Breach
Ministries will receive information concerning the program and student recruitment in
a variety of ways as described on page 27 In addition every parent will receive a
21 st CCLC Parent Handbook which will include information about requirements for
academic achievement behavior and attendance There will also be program reports
that will be given to parents at regular parent programs Community members may
receive information on the Lake Ridge New Tech Schools website and from articles
in the Hammond Times and the Gay Post-Tribune
d Alignment ofIn-School and Out-of-School Time Efforts to Support Student Success
Lake Ridge Schools has an articulated K-1 2 curriculum which is based on Indiana
Academic Standards The K-1 2 curriculum may be found on the Lake Ridge home
page httpwww lakeridgekl2inus The afterschool program will be based on this
Page 128
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 21st CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
curriculum as well as the high school and middle school School Improvement Plans
which were derived from ISTEP+ PSAT NWEA and other local assessments
4 Programs that Promote Parental Involvement Family Literacy
and Related Educational_Development
Parental involvement in the Lake Ridge community is a challenge Many parents
do not have reliable transportation gas money or they feel uncomfortable because they
themselves were unsuccessful in school Parental involvement with the 21 st CCLC
Program will attack the parental involvement issue on two fronts Parent involvement
with students during the afterschool program and outside ofprogram hours (IAS 8)
Only parents of students enrolled in the 21st CCLC program will participate
Parent Engagement During Afterschool Hours These programs will engage
parents as they interact with their students Side-by-side events may include book
exchanges family game hours science experiments recreational sports and other fun and
educational activities that may be done by parents and students together These activities
will also serve to model for parents how they may help their students at home with
classwork (IAS 13) In addition sessions of a more serious nature may be offered for
parent and child that cover such issues as Internet safety violence prevention and how to
make positive life choices (IAS 13D) Parent classes will cover a variety of topics that
have been suggested on parent questionnaires and during discussions These classes may
include English for non-English speaking parents health and wellness parenting skills
technology recreational sports and literacy
ParentStudent Engagement Outside of Afterschool Hours These occasional
events may include students but will be held outside afterschool hours ( ex weekday
Page 129
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 21st CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
evenings Saturday etc) to accommodate the needs ofworking parents Only parents
who have students enrolled in the Lake Ridge 21st CCLC Program may participate
in these classesworkshops Classes might include literacy math crocheting Zumba
CPR music resume writing computer use and other topics that are requested by the
parents (IAS 15) When appropriate classes will be offered in both Spanish and English
Each school has a gymnasium large classrooms art and music rooms computer labs and
some have science labs so programs that are academic in nature as well as sports and
recreation may be offered The hoursdays of family services will not exceed that of the
student activities
Activities that are held outside of afterschool program time are opportunities to
promote schoolcommunity and family relationships These fun family events can be
educational for the entire family since there are many levels of learning that can be
experienced by family groups working on projects or just having fun together (IAS 9)
The Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC program will work with families and provide referral services
for other issues outside of its capabilities This plan to engage parents is comprehensive
and attainable because it is an extension of the regular school day as opposed to a standshy
alone activity and because it is based on parent requests
bull Offer classes for parents students and parent and student
bull Hold classes for parents at convenient times for working parents
bull Welcome parents daily into the afterschool program to participate with their students
bull Publicize parent opportunities well in advance of the events
bull Hold activities that reflect student and family interests ( communitystudent surveys)

routinely reviews safety procedures All afterschool staff have on their cell phones an app called
REM4 which has the district safety plan and procedures contacts and an instant notification for
first responders All buildings are equipped with cameras and doors are locked Visitors must be
buzzed in and immediately report to the office The SRO will be available to afterschool
personnel in the event an emergency arises

Evidence of Previous Success
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools has operated 21 st CCLC programs for eight years due to
the generous funding from the government From 2010-2014 the program was implemented at
Calumet New Tech High School and in 2015 Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School was added
to the program These after-school programs provide services to high-poverty students who
would otherwise have no safe place to go after school no help with homework or the opportunity
to take part in enrichment classes and in some cases little to eat The Lake Ridge afterschool
program provides all of that dinner homework help fun socialization and a ride home
While mentioning roadblocks may not be the best way to start describing the stellar
accomplishments of the Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC programs there are factors that must be considered
1 The rate of transiency for Lake Ridge Schools varies from 40-60 This means that
it is not easy to amass 2- and 3-year data for students who are here today and gone
tomorrow In fact it is difficult even to achieve RAP status for our students which
makes the fact that both the middle and high school programs have made their RAP
numbers each year even more remarkable There was a 50 gain in ISTEP passage
in the middle and high schools combined for 3-year RAPs
2 After-school programming in secondary schools is difficult due to student
participation in sports clubs etc
3 Parent participation is difficult due to lack of transportation and stability in the home
Calumet New Tech High School
2014-2015 All Short-Term Performance Measures (STPM) were met and exceeded projections
2015-2016 All STPM were met with the exception of graduation for which the projection was
90 and the actual was 89
Page 160
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
2016-2017 Two STPM fell slightly short ofprojection The other STPM exceeded projection by 6
RAP Status The attendance target for the last 3 years was 70 RAPs The actual number of
RAPs exceeded the target for all three years
The success of the high school program included College and Career Readiness activities
that included a speaker panel and multiple college tours to which parents were invited F AFSA
nights were held for students and their parents Opportunities for Service Learning were provided
by allowing high school students to lead middle school activities There were also well-attended
enrichment activities that included music dance theater archery and other sports Students
attended a STEM camp at the Duneland Nature Center and parents took part in Strengthening
Families and EL parent night After-school students also attended and served as student
ambassadors at the Indiana Youth Institute state conference All of this was in addition to the
intensive tutoring and homework help that was offered The ISTEP and ECA Boot Camps
were well attended
Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School
2014-2015 STPMs fell slightly short of the projections
2015-2016 STPMS fell slightly short of the projections
2016-2017 STPMs exceeded the projections by at least 50
The disparity ofSTPMprojection and actual was due to the district switchingfrom
Acuity to NWEA Accurate comparable data was not available
RAP Status The projected RAP number was 81 for the last three years The first year RAP
projection was met at 81 The second year the RAP count increased to 111 and the third
year was 91

I Abstract
Lake Ridge Schools despite being one of the poorest districts in Indiana despite having
skyrocketing poverty and crime despite struggling with low parent involvement and student
motivation is nevertheless one of the most exciting progressive school districts in Indiana For
the past four years Lake Ridge has been part of the 21 st CCLC Cohort 7 during which time the
21 st CCLC Programs at Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School and Calumet New Tech High
School have shown success in providing academic support enrichment a welcoming place for
parent involvement and a safe haven for students Surveys to students parents and community
members reveal that they value the 21 st CCLC After-school Program and see it as an intrinsic
part of the educational experience
This proposal describes how Lake Ridge New Tech Schools will continue the middle and
high school programs as they continue their growth toward self-sustainment The use of
partners will deepen and the coordination of other funding sources including Title I Title II
Title Ill and Title IV will increase Both programs will run 132 days offer academics
enrichment dinner and bus service Both programs will focus on Literacy STEM College and
Career Readiness comprehensive school counseling and be extensions of the regular school
curricula which uses Indiana Academic Standards There will be an increased focus on affective
offerings as Lake Ridge New Tech schools move toward district certification in Trauma
Sensitive Instruction Finally both programs will offer opportunities for parents to take part in
their students programs
Students needs will be determined by academic benchmarks behavior data and
parentstudent surveys Because of the overall low reading lexiles and test scores there will be
dedicated tutoringreading time for all students as well as enrichment classes More than 65 of
Page I 11
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 21st CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
Calumet New Tech High School students have been found to read below grade level
Furthermore only 38 of middle school students and 64 of high school students passed math
on ISTEP The way in which regular day teachers interact with the afterschool program will
continue to be intentional and personalized and tutoring for English Language Arts Reading
and Math will be done by certified Lake Ridge teachers
In the move toward self-sustainment Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC programs will replace
courses that need outside funding with programs that are provided at little or no cost by partners
such as Ivy Tech Community College The past eight years have taught us that a key to making
an afterschool program successful is manpower and student supervision In addition to the
Program Director both the middle and high schools will have a Site Coordinator who will work
more closely with school administrators to upgrade protocols and procedures The middle school
Site Coordinator is a current Lake Ridge administrator and the high school Site Coordinator is
an experienced tutor and program organizer for Americorp in Valparaiso IN The 21 st CCLC
After-school Program is crucial to the academic and personal growth of Lake Ridge students
and the school district is committed to its success

III NEED FOR PROJECT
A The Lake Ridge New Tech Schools serve a small urban region that straddles the
boundaries between the City of Gary and an unincorporated region known as Calumet Township
The area is both economically and socially depressed Of the total Lake Ridge student population
of 1873 359 of the population is living in poverty (State average is 141 ) During SY
2016-2017 in Lake Ridge New Tech Schools there were 702 suspensions and 22 expulsions 6
involving drugs andor firearms Currently there are 20 known students on active probation in the
district as per the Lake County Sheriffs Office
B Clearly based on the above data Lake Ridge Schools has a critical need for an afterschool
community learning center ISTEP+ scores are for the most part below the state average
Without adequate remediation and additional learning time students will be locked into an
endless cycle ofcatch up Currently 532 of students in the middle school and 65 of the
high school students read below grade level as per NWEA

The need for expansion of counseling services is indicated by the administration of the
Adverse Childhood Experiences Survey (ACES) which indicated that the Lake Ridge students
have experienced 3+ types of trauma This is a tragically high number Lake Ridge has received a
Lilly Counseling Grant and a Title IV Grant which will train teachers aides and 21 st CCLC
personnel to work with students of trauma

C NeedsServices
Needs and services were identified through student and parent informal surveys and
discussions with students during the school day and after-school and parents at Side-by-Sides
conferences and Coffee Talks Partners gave suggestions informally and at Advisory Council
meetings Discussions were held with individual partners as MOUs were created and services
were decided upon This is an ongoing process and partners will serve on the Advisory council to
analyze data and make changes in the program as needed

Using disaggregated results from parent and student surveys the Advisory Council have
set the following parameters for the program
bull Courses aligned with Indiana Academic Standards must include literacy math and parts of School Improvement Plans as areas targeted for remediation
bull Enrichment maintenance and remediation needs of the students must be met bull Literacy and math based on the Indiana Academic Content Standards and the Lake
ridge curriculum maps will be the foundations for content offeringsactivities bull Technology and 21 st Century skills College and Career Readiness must be addressed bull Provisions for non-academic interests and skills (ie the arts etc) must be determined
by student interest bull Parent opportunities must be expanded not only for parent educational improvement
but also to foster parentchildschool relationships bull Behavioral and character education issues must be addressed bull The program must provide dinner and transportation home
The Advisory Council has many suggestions for meeting the above parameters The
Advisory Council will continue to meet with evaluator Dr Karen Venditti to review formative
data and make changes to the program as needed Students who are participating on the Council

B Evidence of Previous Success (Appendix pp 60-62)
C Design Requirements
1 Targeted Students and Their Families
In accordance with the requirements of GEPA 427 the following is a description of steps
to overcome barriers that may impede equitable access or participation in our program
All Lake Ridge middle and high school students participating in after-school services will
be afforded an opportunity to participate in the comprehensive program (Literacy Math
Career and College Readiness etc) regardless of gender race national origin color
disability or age All services offered will be tailored to individual needs with
accommodations as appropriate tutoring services (auditory component) Literacy and
Math Career and College Readiness activities (translation and developmentally
appropriate activitiesmaterials) transportation (handicapped accessible buses) Lake
Ridge Schools is a member of the Northwest Indiana Special Education Cooperative and
collaborates with them to provide appropriate services and accommodations
Furthermore since the plan includes families with limited English proficiency program
information will be distributed to such potential participants in their native language
Parent programs will have translation services when necessary
a See Attachment B page 2
b All students are targeted and will be recruited on the first day of school and during the
school year by flyers newsletters Lake Ridge website and by word-of-mouth
c Not applicable
d The Lake Ridge New Tech Schools serve a small urban region that straddles the
boundaries between the City of Gary and an unincorporated region known as Calumet
Page 125
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
Township The area is both economically and socially depressed Of the total Lake
Ridge student population of 1873 872 of the students are classified as freereduced
lunch and 359 of the population is living in poverty (State average is 141)
During SY 2016-2017 in Lake Ridge New Tech Schools there were 702 suspensions
and 22 expulsions 6 involving drugs andor firearms Currently there are 20 known
students on active probation in the district as per the Lake County Sheriffs Office
Clearly based on the above data Lake Ridge Schools has a critical need for an
afterschool community learning center Lake Ridge Schools is the hub of the
community and there is an urgent need for a place for the children to go after school
ISTEP+ scores are for the most part below the state average Without adequate
remediation and additional learning time students will be locked into an endless cycle of
catch up Currently 532 of students in the middle school and 65 of the high
school students read below grade level as per NWEA
2 Dissemination ofInformation
Parents of students from Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School Calumet New Tech High
School and Repairer of the Breach Ministries will receive information concerning
program logistics and student recruitment in a variety of ways including but not limited
to the following
bull Flyers will be sent home with students and mailed to parents of Lake Ridge and
Repairer of the Breach Ministries
bull Information will be available on the Lake Ridge website
bull Mass phone calls and text messages will be made on Alert Now
bull Information will be placed on school marquees
bull The local media will publish articles which praise the program
Page 126
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 215 CCLC Grant Proposal 20 I 7
bull A document similar to a college class brochure will list tutoring opportunities and
other classes that will be available after school This will be made available to
students and parents of students who participate in the program
bull Guidance counselors will confer with students who would benefit from the
afterschool program to urge them to take advantage of this opportunity
bull Behavior contracts that include attendance at the afterschool program will be written
by school counselors for students who have discipline andor attendance issues
bull Parents will be given information about afterschool programming at the district-wide
registration in the fall and at other school functions
3 Communication with Schools
a Equitable Service for Non-Public Schools
Students from Repairer of the Breach Ministries may take part in 21 st CCLC activities
(Attachment H p 9) During the Fall of2017 several in-person planning sessions and
telephone conversations took place with Lake Ridge administrators and Dr Mildred
Ewing Principal of Repairer of the Breach Ministries to plan for the attendance of her
students At present she has only one secondary student who might be interested in
attending the Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC program Dr Ewing is aware that academic
information for this student will be required to plan relevant sessions for him and to
evaluate his progress Dr Ewing agreed to be an active participant on the Lake Ridge
21 st CCLC Advisory Council
b Student Record Accessing
To differentiate instruction for students and to monitor progress instructional
personnel must have access to student data Student data reports will be generated by
the Lake Ridge RDS data management system and shared with instructors when
appropriate and with strict attention to privacy Permanent records may be accessed
Page 127
lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 1st CCLC Grant Proposal 201 7
by guidance personnel and the Progran1 Director Reports that will be used for
program evaluation will be generated using STN numbers rather than student names
Repairer of the Breach Ministries will provide student data to the Lake Ridge
Program Director for inclusion in state rep01is and to adjust the program
c Sharing Information on Students with Regular-day School Staffamp Families of
Participating Students and Community Stakeholders
Regular day staff will receive reports on student progress every nine weeks or more
frequently if the need ari ses Since the academic tutors are regular Lake Ridge
licensed teachers the reports may be informal or electronic The report may include
rates of progress and information on content so that the regular staff may coordinate
instruction with afterschool instruction Parents of students from Lake Ridge New
Tech Middle School Calumet New Tech High School and Repairer of the Breach
Ministries will receive information concerning the program and student recruitment in
a variety of ways as described on page 27 In addition every parent will receive a
21 st CCLC Parent Handbook which will include information about requirements for
academic achievement behavior and attendance There will also be program reports
that will be given to parents at regular parent programs Community members may
receive information on the Lake Ridge New Tech Schools website and from articles
in the Hammond Times and the Gay Post-Tribune
d Alignment ofIn-School and Out-of-School Time Efforts to Support Student Success
Lake Ridge Schools has an articulated K-1 2 curriculum which is based on Indiana
Academic Standards The K-1 2 curriculum may be found on the Lake Ridge home
page httpwww lakeridgekl2inus The afterschool program will be based on this
Page 128
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 21st CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
curriculum as well as the high school and middle school School Improvement Plans
which were derived from ISTEP+ PSAT NWEA and other local assessments
4 Programs that Promote Parental Involvement Family Literacy
and Related Educational_Development
Parental involvement in the Lake Ridge community is a challenge Many parents
do not have reliable transportation gas money or they feel uncomfortable because they
themselves were unsuccessful in school Parental involvement with the 21 st CCLC
Program will attack the parental involvement issue on two fronts Parent involvement
with students during the afterschool program and outside ofprogram hours (IAS 8)
Only parents of students enrolled in the 21st CCLC program will participate
Parent Engagement During Afterschool Hours These programs will engage
parents as they interact with their students Side-by-side events may include book
exchanges family game hours science experiments recreational sports and other fun and
educational activities that may be done by parents and students together These activities
will also serve to model for parents how they may help their students at home with
classwork (IAS 13) In addition sessions of a more serious nature may be offered for
parent and child that cover such issues as Internet safety violence prevention and how to
make positive life choices (IAS 13D) Parent classes will cover a variety of topics that
have been suggested on parent questionnaires and during discussions These classes may
include English for non-English speaking parents health and wellness parenting skills
technology recreational sports and literacy
ParentStudent Engagement Outside of Afterschool Hours These occasional
events may include students but will be held outside afterschool hours ( ex weekday
Page 129
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 21st CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
evenings Saturday etc) to accommodate the needs ofworking parents Only parents
who have students enrolled in the Lake Ridge 21st CCLC Program may participate
in these classesworkshops Classes might include literacy math crocheting Zumba
CPR music resume writing computer use and other topics that are requested by the
parents (IAS 15) When appropriate classes will be offered in both Spanish and English
Each school has a gymnasium large classrooms art and music rooms computer labs and
some have science labs so programs that are academic in nature as well as sports and
recreation may be offered The hoursdays of family services will not exceed that of the
student activities
Activities that are held outside of afterschool program time are opportunities to
promote schoolcommunity and family relationships These fun family events can be
educational for the entire family since there are many levels of learning that can be
experienced by family groups working on projects or just having fun together (IAS 9)
The Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC program will work with families and provide referral services
for other issues outside of its capabilities This plan to engage parents is comprehensive
and attainable because it is an extension of the regular school day as opposed to a standshy
alone activity and because it is based on parent requests
bull Offer classes for parents students and parent and student
bull Hold classes for parents at convenient times for working parents
bull Welcome parents daily into the afterschool program to participate with their students
bull Publicize parent opportunities well in advance of the events
bull Hold activities that reflect student and family interests ( communitystudent surveys)

Evidence of Previous Success
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools has operated 21 st CCLC programs for eight years due to
the generous funding from the government From 2010-2014 the program was implemented at
Calumet New Tech High School and in 2015 Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School was added
to the program These after-school programs provide services to high-poverty students who
would otherwise have no safe place to go after school no help with homework or the opportunity
to take part in enrichment classes and in some cases little to eat The Lake Ridge afterschool
program provides all of that dinner homework help fun socialization and a ride home
While mentioning roadblocks may not be the best way to start describing the stellar
accomplishments of the Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC programs there are factors that must be considered
1 The rate of transiency for Lake Ridge Schools varies from 40-60 This means that
it is not easy to amass 2- and 3-year data for students who are here today and gone
tomorrow In fact it is difficult even to achieve RAP status for our students which
makes the fact that both the middle and high school programs have made their RAP
numbers each year even more remarkable There was a 50 gain in ISTEP passage
in the middle and high schools combined for 3-year RAPs
2 After-school programming in secondary schools is difficult due to student
participation in sports clubs etc
3 Parent participation is difficult due to lack of transportation and stability in the home
Calumet New Tech High School
2014-2015 All Short-Term Performance Measures (STPM) were met and exceeded projections
2015-2016 All STPM were met with the exception of graduation for which the projection was
90 and the actual was 89
Page 160
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
2016-2017 Two STPM fell slightly short ofprojection The other STPM exceeded projection by 6
RAP Status The attendance target for the last 3 years was 70 RAPs The actual number of
RAPs exceeded the target for all three years
The success of the high school program included College and Career Readiness activities
that included a speaker panel and multiple college tours to which parents were invited F AFSA
nights were held for students and their parents Opportunities for Service Learning were provided
by allowing high school students to lead middle school activities There were also well-attended
enrichment activities that included music dance theater archery and other sports Students
attended a STEM camp at the Duneland Nature Center and parents took part in Strengthening
Families and EL parent night After-school students also attended and served as student
ambassadors at the Indiana Youth Institute state conference All of this was in addition to the
intensive tutoring and homework help that was offered The ISTEP and ECA Boot Camps
were well attended
Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School
2014-2015 STPMs fell slightly short of the projections
2015-2016 STPMS fell slightly short of the projections
2016-2017 STPMs exceeded the projections by at least 50
The disparity ofSTPMprojection and actual was due to the district switchingfrom
Acuity to NWEA Accurate comparable data was not available
RAP Status The projected RAP number was 81 for the last three years The first year RAP
projection was met at 81 The second year the RAP count increased to 111 and the third
year was 91

I Abstract
Lake Ridge Schools despite being one of the poorest districts in Indiana despite having
skyrocketing poverty and crime despite struggling with low parent involvement and student
motivation is nevertheless one of the most exciting progressive school districts in Indiana For
the past four years Lake Ridge has been part of the 21 st CCLC Cohort 7 during which time the
21 st CCLC Programs at Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School and Calumet New Tech High
School have shown success in providing academic support enrichment a welcoming place for
parent involvement and a safe haven for students Surveys to students parents and community
members reveal that they value the 21 st CCLC After-school Program and see it as an intrinsic
part of the educational experience
This proposal describes how Lake Ridge New Tech Schools will continue the middle and
high school programs as they continue their growth toward self-sustainment The use of
partners will deepen and the coordination of other funding sources including Title I Title II
Title Ill and Title IV will increase Both programs will run 132 days offer academics
enrichment dinner and bus service Both programs will focus on Literacy STEM College and
Career Readiness comprehensive school counseling and be extensions of the regular school
curricula which uses Indiana Academic Standards There will be an increased focus on affective
offerings as Lake Ridge New Tech schools move toward district certification in Trauma
Sensitive Instruction Finally both programs will offer opportunities for parents to take part in
their students programs
Students needs will be determined by academic benchmarks behavior data and
parentstudent surveys Because of the overall low reading lexiles and test scores there will be
dedicated tutoringreading time for all students as well as enrichment classes More than 65 of
Page I 11
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 21st CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
Calumet New Tech High School students have been found to read below grade level
Furthermore only 38 of middle school students and 64 of high school students passed math
on ISTEP The way in which regular day teachers interact with the afterschool program will
continue to be intentional and personalized and tutoring for English Language Arts Reading
and Math will be done by certified Lake Ridge teachers
In the move toward self-sustainment Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC programs will replace
courses that need outside funding with programs that are provided at little or no cost by partners
such as Ivy Tech Community College The past eight years have taught us that a key to making
an afterschool program successful is manpower and student supervision In addition to the
Program Director both the middle and high schools will have a Site Coordinator who will work
more closely with school administrators to upgrade protocols and procedures The middle school
Site Coordinator is a current Lake Ridge administrator and the high school Site Coordinator is
an experienced tutor and program organizer for Americorp in Valparaiso IN The 21 st CCLC
After-school Program is crucial to the academic and personal growth of Lake Ridge students
and the school district is committed to its success

III NEED FOR PROJECT
A The Lake Ridge New Tech Schools serve a small urban region that straddles the
boundaries between the City of Gary and an unincorporated region known as Calumet Township
The area is both economically and socially depressed Of the total Lake Ridge student population
of 1873 359 of the population is living in poverty (State average is 141 ) During SY
2016-2017 in Lake Ridge New Tech Schools there were 702 suspensions and 22 expulsions 6
involving drugs andor firearms Currently there are 20 known students on active probation in the
district as per the Lake County Sheriffs Office
B Clearly based on the above data Lake Ridge Schools has a critical need for an afterschool
community learning center ISTEP+ scores are for the most part below the state average
Without adequate remediation and additional learning time students will be locked into an
endless cycle ofcatch up Currently 532 of students in the middle school and 65 of the
high school students read below grade level as per NWEA

The need for expansion of counseling services is indicated by the administration of the
Adverse Childhood Experiences Survey (ACES) which indicated that the Lake Ridge students
have experienced 3+ types of trauma This is a tragically high number Lake Ridge has received a
Lilly Counseling Grant and a Title IV Grant which will train teachers aides and 21 st CCLC
personnel to work with students of trauma

C NeedsServices
Needs and services were identified through student and parent informal surveys and
discussions with students during the school day and after-school and parents at Side-by-Sides
conferences and Coffee Talks Partners gave suggestions informally and at Advisory Council
meetings Discussions were held with individual partners as MOUs were created and services
were decided upon This is an ongoing process and partners will serve on the Advisory council to
analyze data and make changes in the program as needed
IV PARTNERSHIPSCOLLABORATIONS
A The project will make use of grant funds from other sources when available For example
Title IIA will pick up some of the cost of professional development for Lake Ridge staff who are
teaching in the afterschool program Title Ill will also provide professional development for
afterschool Lake Ridge personnel who teach English Learner students and parents In addition
afterschool staff members may also be provided professional development for enrichment classes
Page I 15
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 21st CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
for identified High Ability students using High Ability Grant funds USDA Federal Funds will
also be used for the afterschool meals The Title IV Grant and the Lilly Comprehensive
Counseling Grant will be used to provide Trauma Sensitive training and afterschool group
counseling for students and their parents
B The following partners were selected because of their documented success with education
and their contribution to the workforce Also they were chosen because they meet the needs of
the community as determined by studentcommunity needs assessments All of the partners have
agreed to serve on the Advisory Council Furthermore the partners have assisted in planning
activities and will be kept apprised of ongoing program evaluations in order to adjust their

Using disaggregated results from parent and student surveys the Advisory Council have
set the following parameters for the program
bull Courses aligned with Indiana Academic Standards must include literacy math and parts of School Improvement Plans as areas targeted for remediation
bull Enrichment maintenance and remediation needs of the students must be met bull Literacy and math based on the Indiana Academic Content Standards and the Lake
ridge curriculum maps will be the foundations for content offeringsactivities bull Technology and 21 st Century skills College and Career Readiness must be addressed bull Provisions for non-academic interests and skills (ie the arts etc) must be determined
by student interest bull Parent opportunities must be expanded not only for parent educational improvement
but also to foster parentchildschool relationships bull Behavioral and character education issues must be addressed bull The program must provide dinner and transportation home
The Advisory Council has many suggestions for meeting the above parameters The
Advisory Council will continue to meet with evaluator Dr Karen Venditti to review formative
data and make changes to the program as needed Students who are participating on the Council
will be rotated so that fresh anecdotal information is part of the evaluation process

B Evidence of Previous Success (Appendix pp 60-62)
C Design Requirements
1 Targeted Students and Their Families
In accordance with the requirements of GEPA 427 the following is a description of steps
to overcome barriers that may impede equitable access or participation in our program
All Lake Ridge middle and high school students participating in after-school services will
be afforded an opportunity to participate in the comprehensive program (Literacy Math
Career and College Readiness etc) regardless of gender race national origin color
disability or age All services offered will be tailored to individual needs with
accommodations as appropriate tutoring services (auditory component) Literacy and
Math Career and College Readiness activities (translation and developmentally
appropriate activitiesmaterials) transportation (handicapped accessible buses) Lake
Ridge Schools is a member of the Northwest Indiana Special Education Cooperative and
collaborates with them to provide appropriate services and accommodations
Furthermore since the plan includes families with limited English proficiency program
information will be distributed to such potential participants in their native language
Parent programs will have translation services when necessary
a See Attachment B page 2
b All students are targeted and will be recruited on the first day of school and during the
school year by flyers newsletters Lake Ridge website and by word-of-mouth
c Not applicable
d The Lake Ridge New Tech Schools serve a small urban region that straddles the
boundaries between the City of Gary and an unincorporated region known as Calumet
Page 125
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
Township The area is both economically and socially depressed Of the total Lake
Ridge student population of 1873 872 of the students are classified as freereduced
lunch and 359 of the population is living in poverty (State average is 141)
During SY 2016-2017 in Lake Ridge New Tech Schools there were 702 suspensions
and 22 expulsions 6 involving drugs andor firearms Currently there are 20 known
students on active probation in the district as per the Lake County Sheriffs Office
Clearly based on the above data Lake Ridge Schools has a critical need for an
afterschool community learning center Lake Ridge Schools is the hub of the
community and there is an urgent need for a place for the children to go after school
ISTEP+ scores are for the most part below the state average Without adequate
remediation and additional learning time students will be locked into an endless cycle of
catch up Currently 532 of students in the middle school and 65 of the high
school students read below grade level as per NWEA
2 Dissemination ofInformation
Parents of students from Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School Calumet New Tech High
School and Repairer of the Breach Ministries will receive information concerning
program logistics and student recruitment in a variety of ways including but not limited
to the following
bull Flyers will be sent home with students and mailed to parents of Lake Ridge and
Repairer of the Breach Ministries
bull Information will be available on the Lake Ridge website
bull Mass phone calls and text messages will be made on Alert Now
bull Information will be placed on school marquees
bull The local media will publish articles which praise the program
Page 126
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 215 CCLC Grant Proposal 20 I 7
bull A document similar to a college class brochure will list tutoring opportunities and
other classes that will be available after school This will be made available to
students and parents of students who participate in the program
bull Guidance counselors will confer with students who would benefit from the
afterschool program to urge them to take advantage of this opportunity
bull Behavior contracts that include attendance at the afterschool program will be written
by school counselors for students who have discipline andor attendance issues
bull Parents will be given information about afterschool programming at the district-wide
registration in the fall and at other school functions
3 Communication with Schools
a Equitable Service for Non-Public Schools
Students from Repairer of the Breach Ministries may take part in 21 st CCLC activities
(Attachment H p 9) During the Fall of2017 several in-person planning sessions and
telephone conversations took place with Lake Ridge administrators and Dr Mildred
Ewing Principal of Repairer of the Breach Ministries to plan for the attendance of her
students At present she has only one secondary student who might be interested in
attending the Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC program Dr Ewing is aware that academic
information for this student will be required to plan relevant sessions for him and to
evaluate his progress Dr Ewing agreed to be an active participant on the Lake Ridge
21 st CCLC Advisory Council
b Student Record Accessing
To differentiate instruction for students and to monitor progress instructional
personnel must have access to student data Student data reports will be generated by
the Lake Ridge RDS data management system and shared with instructors when
appropriate and with strict attention to privacy Permanent records may be accessed
Page 127
lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 1st CCLC Grant Proposal 201 7
by guidance personnel and the Progran1 Director Reports that will be used for
program evaluation will be generated using STN numbers rather than student names
Repairer of the Breach Ministries will provide student data to the Lake Ridge
Program Director for inclusion in state rep01is and to adjust the program
c Sharing Information on Students with Regular-day School Staffamp Families of
Participating Students and Community Stakeholders
Regular day staff will receive reports on student progress every nine weeks or more
frequently if the need ari ses Since the academic tutors are regular Lake Ridge
licensed teachers the reports may be informal or electronic The report may include
rates of progress and information on content so that the regular staff may coordinate
instruction with afterschool instruction Parents of students from Lake Ridge New
Tech Middle School Calumet New Tech High School and Repairer of the Breach
Ministries will receive information concerning the program and student recruitment in
a variety of ways as described on page 27 In addition every parent will receive a
21 st CCLC Parent Handbook which will include information about requirements for
academic achievement behavior and attendance There will also be program reports
that will be given to parents at regular parent programs Community members may
receive information on the Lake Ridge New Tech Schools website and from articles
in the Hammond Times and the Gay Post-Tribune
d Alignment ofIn-School and Out-of-School Time Efforts to Support Student Success
Lake Ridge Schools has an articulated K-1 2 curriculum which is based on Indiana
Academic Standards The K-1 2 curriculum may be found on the Lake Ridge home
page httpwww lakeridgekl2inus The afterschool program will be based on this
Page 128
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 21st CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
curriculum as well as the high school and middle school School Improvement Plans
which were derived from ISTEP+ PSAT NWEA and other local assessments
4 Programs that Promote Parental Involvement Family Literacy
and Related Educational_Development
Parental involvement in the Lake Ridge community is a challenge Many parents
do not have reliable transportation gas money or they feel uncomfortable because they
themselves were unsuccessful in school Parental involvement with the 21 st CCLC
Program will attack the parental involvement issue on two fronts Parent involvement
with students during the afterschool program and outside ofprogram hours (IAS 8)
Only parents of students enrolled in the 21st CCLC program will participate
Parent Engagement During Afterschool Hours These programs will engage
parents as they interact with their students Side-by-side events may include book
exchanges family game hours science experiments recreational sports and other fun and
educational activities that may be done by parents and students together These activities
will also serve to model for parents how they may help their students at home with
classwork (IAS 13) In addition sessions of a more serious nature may be offered for
parent and child that cover such issues as Internet safety violence prevention and how to
make positive life choices (IAS 13D) Parent classes will cover a variety of topics that
have been suggested on parent questionnaires and during discussions These classes may
include English for non-English speaking parents health and wellness parenting skills
technology recreational sports and literacy
ParentStudent Engagement Outside of Afterschool Hours These occasional
events may include students but will be held outside afterschool hours ( ex weekday
Page 129
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 21st CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
evenings Saturday etc) to accommodate the needs ofworking parents Only parents
who have students enrolled in the Lake Ridge 21st CCLC Program may participate
in these classesworkshops Classes might include literacy math crocheting Zumba
CPR music resume writing computer use and other topics that are requested by the
parents (IAS 15) When appropriate classes will be offered in both Spanish and English
Each school has a gymnasium large classrooms art and music rooms computer labs and
some have science labs so programs that are academic in nature as well as sports and
recreation may be offered The hoursdays of family services will not exceed that of the
student activities
Activities that are held outside of afterschool program time are opportunities to
promote schoolcommunity and family relationships These fun family events can be
educational for the entire family since there are many levels of learning that can be
experienced by family groups working on projects or just having fun together (IAS 9)
The Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC program will work with families and provide referral services
for other issues outside of its capabilities This plan to engage parents is comprehensive
and attainable because it is an extension of the regular school day as opposed to a standshy
alone activity and because it is based on parent requests
bull Offer classes for parents students and parent and student
bull Hold classes for parents at convenient times for working parents
bull Welcome parents daily into the afterschool program to participate with their students
bull Publicize parent opportunities well in advance of the events
bull Hold activities that reflect student and family interests ( communitystudent surveys)

Evidence of Previous Success
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools has operated 21 st CCLC programs for eight years due to
the generous funding from the government From 2010-2014 the program was implemented at
Calumet New Tech High School and in 2015 Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School was added
to the program These after-school programs provide services to high-poverty students who
would otherwise have no safe place to go after school no help with homework or the opportunity
to take part in enrichment classes and in some cases little to eat The Lake Ridge afterschool
program provides all of that dinner homework help fun socialization and a ride home
While mentioning roadblocks may not be the best way to start describing the stellar
accomplishments of the Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC programs there are factors that must be considered
1 The rate of transiency for Lake Ridge Schools varies from 40-60 This means that
it is not easy to amass 2- and 3-year data for students who are here today and gone
tomorrow In fact it is difficult even to achieve RAP status for our students which
makes the fact that both the middle and high school programs have made their RAP
numbers each year even more remarkable There was a 50 gain in ISTEP passage
in the middle and high schools combined for 3-year RAPs
2 After-school programming in secondary schools is difficult due to student
participation in sports clubs etc
3 Parent participation is difficult due to lack of transportation and stability in the home
Calumet New Tech High School
2014-2015 All Short-Term Performance Measures (STPM) were met and exceeded projections
2015-2016 All STPM were met with the exception of graduation for which the projection was
90 and the actual was 89
Page 160
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
2016-2017 Two STPM fell slightly short ofprojection The other STPM exceeded projection by 6
RAP Status The attendance target for the last 3 years was 70 RAPs The actual number of
RAPs exceeded the target for all three years
The success of the high school program included College and Career Readiness activities
that included a speaker panel and multiple college tours to which parents were invited F AFSA
nights were held for students and their parents Opportunities for Service Learning were provided
by allowing high school students to lead middle school activities There were also well-attended
enrichment activities that included music dance theater archery and other sports Students
attended a STEM camp at the Duneland Nature Center and parents took part in Strengthening
Families and EL parent night After-school students also attended and served as student
ambassadors at the Indiana Youth Institute state conference All of this was in addition to the
intensive tutoring and homework help that was offered The ISTEP and ECA Boot Camps
were well attended
Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School
2014-2015 STPMs fell slightly short of the projections
2015-2016 STPMS fell slightly short of the projections
2016-2017 STPMs exceeded the projections by at least 50
The disparity ofSTPMprojection and actual was due to the district switchingfrom
Acuity to NWEA Accurate comparable data was not available
RAP Status The projected RAP number was 81 for the last three years The first year RAP
projection was met at 81 The second year the RAP count increased to 111 and the third
year was 91

Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 21st CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
I Abstract
Lake Ridge Schools despite being one of the poorest districts in Indiana despite having
skyrocketing poverty and crime despite struggling with low parent involvement and student
motivation is nevertheless one of the most exciting progressive school districts in Indiana For
the past four years Lake Ridge has been part of the 21 st CCLC Cohort 7 during which time the
21 st CCLC Programs at Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School and Calumet New Tech High
School have shown success in providing academic support enrichment a welcoming place for
parent involvement and a safe haven for students Surveys to students parents and community
members reveal that they value the 21 st CCLC After-school Program and see it as an intrinsic
part of the educational experience
This proposal describes how Lake Ridge New Tech Schools will continue the middle and
high school programs as they continue their growth toward self-sustainment The use of
partners will deepen and the coordination of other funding sources including Title I Title II
Title Ill and Title IV will increase Both programs will run 132 days offer academics
enrichment dinner and bus service Both programs will focus on Literacy STEM College and
Career Readiness comprehensive school counseling and be extensions of the regular school
curricula which uses Indiana Academic Standards There will be an increased focus on affective
offerings as Lake Ridge New Tech schools move toward district certification in Trauma
Sensitive Instruction Finally both programs will offer opportunities for parents to take part in
their students programs
Students needs will be determined by academic benchmarks behavior data and
parentstudent surveys Because of the overall low reading lexiles and test scores there will be
dedicated tutoringreading time for all students as well as enrichment classes More than 65 of
Page I 11
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 21st CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
Calumet New Tech High School students have been found to read below grade level
Furthermore only 38 of middle school students and 64 of high school students passed math
on ISTEP The way in which regular day teachers interact with the afterschool program will
continue to be intentional and personalized and tutoring for English Language Arts Reading
and Math will be done by certified Lake Ridge teachers
In the move toward self-sustainment Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC programs will replace
courses that need outside funding with programs that are provided at little or no cost by partners
such as Ivy Tech Community College The past eight years have taught us that a key to making
an afterschool program successful is manpower and student supervision In addition to the
Program Director both the middle and high schools will have a Site Coordinator who will work
more closely with school administrators to upgrade protocols and procedures The middle school
Site Coordinator is a current Lake Ridge administrator and the high school Site Coordinator is
an experienced tutor and program organizer for Americorp in Valparaiso IN The 21 st CCLC
After-school Program is crucial to the academic and personal growth of Lake Ridge students
and the school district is committed to its success

III NEED FOR PROJECT
A The Lake Ridge New Tech Schools serve a small urban region that straddles the
boundaries between the City of Gary and an unincorporated region known as Calumet Township
The area is both economically and socially depressed Of the total Lake Ridge student population
of 1873 359 of the population is living in poverty (State average is 141 ) During SY
2016-2017 in Lake Ridge New Tech Schools there were 702 suspensions and 22 expulsions 6
involving drugs andor firearms Currently there are 20 known students on active probation in the
district as per the Lake County Sheriffs Office
B Clearly based on the above data Lake Ridge Schools has a critical need for an afterschool
community learning center ISTEP+ scores are for the most part below the state average
Without adequate remediation and additional learning time students will be locked into an
endless cycle ofcatch up Currently 532 of students in the middle school and 65 of the
high school students read below grade level as per NWEA

The need for expansion of counseling services is indicated by the administration of the
Adverse Childhood Experiences Survey (ACES) which indicated that the Lake Ridge students
have experienced 3+ types of trauma This is a tragically high number Lake Ridge has received a
Lilly Counseling Grant and a Title IV Grant which will train teachers aides and 21 st CCLC
personnel to work with students of trauma

discussions with students during the school day and after-school and parents at Side-by-Sides
conferences and Coffee Talks Partners gave suggestions informally and at Advisory Council
meetings Discussions were held with individual partners as MOUs were created and services
were decided upon This is an ongoing process and partners will serve on the Advisory council to
analyze data and make changes in the program as needed

Using disaggregated results from parent and student surveys the Advisory Council have
set the following parameters for the program
bull Courses aligned with Indiana Academic Standards must include literacy math and parts of School Improvement Plans as areas targeted for remediation
bull Enrichment maintenance and remediation needs of the students must be met bull Literacy and math based on the Indiana Academic Content Standards and the Lake
ridge curriculum maps will be the foundations for content offeringsactivities bull Technology and 21 st Century skills College and Career Readiness must be addressed bull Provisions for non-academic interests and skills (ie the arts etc) must be determined
by student interest bull Parent opportunities must be expanded not only for parent educational improvement
but also to foster parentchildschool relationships bull Behavioral and character education issues must be addressed bull The program must provide dinner and transportation home
The Advisory Council has many suggestions for meeting the above parameters The
Advisory Council will continue to meet with evaluator Dr Karen Venditti to review formative
data and make changes to the program as needed Students who are participating on the Council
will be rotated so that fresh anecdotal information is part of the evaluation process

B Evidence of Previous Success (Appendix pp 60-62)
C Design Requirements
1 Targeted Students and Their Families
In accordance with the requirements of GEPA 427 the following is a description of steps
to overcome barriers that may impede equitable access or participation in our program
All Lake Ridge middle and high school students participating in after-school services will
be afforded an opportunity to participate in the comprehensive program (Literacy Math
Career and College Readiness etc) regardless of gender race national origin color
disability or age All services offered will be tailored to individual needs with
accommodations as appropriate tutoring services (auditory component) Literacy and
Math Career and College Readiness activities (translation and developmentally
appropriate activitiesmaterials) transportation (handicapped accessible buses) Lake
Ridge Schools is a member of the Northwest Indiana Special Education Cooperative and
collaborates with them to provide appropriate services and accommodations
Furthermore since the plan includes families with limited English proficiency program
information will be distributed to such potential participants in their native language
Parent programs will have translation services when necessary
a See Attachment B page 2
b All students are targeted and will be recruited on the first day of school and during the
school year by flyers newsletters Lake Ridge website and by word-of-mouth
c Not applicable
d The Lake Ridge New Tech Schools serve a small urban region that straddles the
boundaries between the City of Gary and an unincorporated region known as Calumet
Page 125
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
Township The area is both economically and socially depressed Of the total Lake
Ridge student population of 1873 872 of the students are classified as freereduced
lunch and 359 of the population is living in poverty (State average is 141)
During SY 2016-2017 in Lake Ridge New Tech Schools there were 702 suspensions
and 22 expulsions 6 involving drugs andor firearms Currently there are 20 known
students on active probation in the district as per the Lake County Sheriffs Office
Clearly based on the above data Lake Ridge Schools has a critical need for an
afterschool community learning center Lake Ridge Schools is the hub of the
community and there is an urgent need for a place for the children to go after school
ISTEP+ scores are for the most part below the state average Without adequate
remediation and additional learning time students will be locked into an endless cycle of
catch up Currently 532 of students in the middle school and 65 of the high
school students read below grade level as per NWEA
2 Dissemination ofInformation
Parents of students from Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School Calumet New Tech High
School and Repairer of the Breach Ministries will receive information concerning
program logistics and student recruitment in a variety of ways including but not limited
to the following
bull Flyers will be sent home with students and mailed to parents of Lake Ridge and
Repairer of the Breach Ministries
bull Information will be available on the Lake Ridge website
bull Mass phone calls and text messages will be made on Alert Now
bull Information will be placed on school marquees
bull The local media will publish articles which praise the program
Page 126
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 215 CCLC Grant Proposal 20 I 7
bull A document similar to a college class brochure will list tutoring opportunities and
other classes that will be available after school This will be made available to
students and parents of students who participate in the program
bull Guidance counselors will confer with students who would benefit from the
afterschool program to urge them to take advantage of this opportunity
bull Behavior contracts that include attendance at the afterschool program will be written
by school counselors for students who have discipline andor attendance issues
bull Parents will be given information about afterschool programming at the district-wide
registration in the fall and at other school functions
3 Communication with Schools
a Equitable Service for Non-Public Schools
Students from Repairer of the Breach Ministries may take part in 21 st CCLC activities
(Attachment H p 9) During the Fall of2017 several in-person planning sessions and
telephone conversations took place with Lake Ridge administrators and Dr Mildred
Ewing Principal of Repairer of the Breach Ministries to plan for the attendance of her
students At present she has only one secondary student who might be interested in
attending the Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC program Dr Ewing is aware that academic
information for this student will be required to plan relevant sessions for him and to
evaluate his progress Dr Ewing agreed to be an active participant on the Lake Ridge
21 st CCLC Advisory Council
b Student Record Accessing
To differentiate instruction for students and to monitor progress instructional
personnel must have access to student data Student data reports will be generated by
the Lake Ridge RDS data management system and shared with instructors when
appropriate and with strict attention to privacy Permanent records may be accessed
Page 127
lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 1st CCLC Grant Proposal 201 7
by guidance personnel and the Progran1 Director Reports that will be used for
program evaluation will be generated using STN numbers rather than student names
Repairer of the Breach Ministries will provide student data to the Lake Ridge
Program Director for inclusion in state rep01is and to adjust the program
c Sharing Information on Students with Regular-day School Staffamp Families of
Participating Students and Community Stakeholders
Regular day staff will receive reports on student progress every nine weeks or more
frequently if the need ari ses Since the academic tutors are regular Lake Ridge
licensed teachers the reports may be informal or electronic The report may include
rates of progress and information on content so that the regular staff may coordinate
instruction with afterschool instruction Parents of students from Lake Ridge New
Tech Middle School Calumet New Tech High School and Repairer of the Breach
Ministries will receive information concerning the program and student recruitment in
a variety of ways as described on page 27 In addition every parent will receive a
21 st CCLC Parent Handbook which will include information about requirements for
academic achievement behavior and attendance There will also be program reports
that will be given to parents at regular parent programs Community members may
receive information on the Lake Ridge New Tech Schools website and from articles
in the Hammond Times and the Gay Post-Tribune
d Alignment ofIn-School and Out-of-School Time Efforts to Support Student Success
Lake Ridge Schools has an articulated K-1 2 curriculum which is based on Indiana
Academic Standards The K-1 2 curriculum may be found on the Lake Ridge home
page httpwww lakeridgekl2inus The afterschool program will be based on this
Page 128
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 21st CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
curriculum as well as the high school and middle school School Improvement Plans
which were derived from ISTEP+ PSAT NWEA and other local assessments
4 Programs that Promote Parental Involvement Family Literacy
and Related Educational_Development
Parental involvement in the Lake Ridge community is a challenge Many parents
do not have reliable transportation gas money or they feel uncomfortable because they
themselves were unsuccessful in school Parental involvement with the 21 st CCLC
Program will attack the parental involvement issue on two fronts Parent involvement
with students during the afterschool program and outside ofprogram hours (IAS 8)
Only parents of students enrolled in the 21st CCLC program will participate
Parent Engagement During Afterschool Hours These programs will engage
parents as they interact with their students Side-by-side events may include book
exchanges family game hours science experiments recreational sports and other fun and
educational activities that may be done by parents and students together These activities
will also serve to model for parents how they may help their students at home with
classwork (IAS 13) In addition sessions of a more serious nature may be offered for
parent and child that cover such issues as Internet safety violence prevention and how to
make positive life choices (IAS 13D) Parent classes will cover a variety of topics that
have been suggested on parent questionnaires and during discussions These classes may
include English for non-English speaking parents health and wellness parenting skills
technology recreational sports and literacy
ParentStudent Engagement Outside of Afterschool Hours These occasional
events may include students but will be held outside afterschool hours ( ex weekday
Page 129
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 21st CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
evenings Saturday etc) to accommodate the needs ofworking parents Only parents
who have students enrolled in the Lake Ridge 21st CCLC Program may participate
in these classesworkshops Classes might include literacy math crocheting Zumba
CPR music resume writing computer use and other topics that are requested by the
parents (IAS 15) When appropriate classes will be offered in both Spanish and English
Each school has a gymnasium large classrooms art and music rooms computer labs and
some have science labs so programs that are academic in nature as well as sports and
recreation may be offered The hoursdays of family services will not exceed that of the
student activities
Activities that are held outside of afterschool program time are opportunities to
promote schoolcommunity and family relationships These fun family events can be
educational for the entire family since there are many levels of learning that can be
experienced by family groups working on projects or just having fun together (IAS 9)
The Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC program will work with families and provide referral services
for other issues outside of its capabilities This plan to engage parents is comprehensive
and attainable because it is an extension of the regular school day as opposed to a standshy
alone activity and because it is based on parent requests
bull Offer classes for parents students and parent and student
bull Hold classes for parents at convenient times for working parents
bull Welcome parents daily into the afterschool program to participate with their students
bull Publicize parent opportunities well in advance of the events
bull Hold activities that reflect student and family interests ( communitystudent surveys)

Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
Evidence of Previous Success
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools has operated 21 st CCLC programs for eight years due to
the generous funding from the government From 2010-2014 the program was implemented at
Calumet New Tech High School and in 2015 Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School was added
to the program These after-school programs provide services to high-poverty students who
would otherwise have no safe place to go after school no help with homework or the opportunity
to take part in enrichment classes and in some cases little to eat The Lake Ridge afterschool
program provides all of that dinner homework help fun socialization and a ride home
While mentioning roadblocks may not be the best way to start describing the stellar
accomplishments of the Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC programs there are factors that must be considered
1 The rate of transiency for Lake Ridge Schools varies from 40-60 This means that
it is not easy to amass 2- and 3-year data for students who are here today and gone
tomorrow In fact it is difficult even to achieve RAP status for our students which
makes the fact that both the middle and high school programs have made their RAP
numbers each year even more remarkable There was a 50 gain in ISTEP passage
in the middle and high schools combined for 3-year RAPs
2 After-school programming in secondary schools is difficult due to student
participation in sports clubs etc
3 Parent participation is difficult due to lack of transportation and stability in the home
Calumet New Tech High School
2014-2015 All Short-Term Performance Measures (STPM) were met and exceeded projections
2015-2016 All STPM were met with the exception of graduation for which the projection was
90 and the actual was 89
Page 160
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
2016-2017 Two STPM fell slightly short ofprojection The other STPM exceeded projection by 6
RAP Status The attendance target for the last 3 years was 70 RAPs The actual number of
RAPs exceeded the target for all three years
The success of the high school program included College and Career Readiness activities
that included a speaker panel and multiple college tours to which parents were invited F AFSA
nights were held for students and their parents Opportunities for Service Learning were provided
by allowing high school students to lead middle school activities There were also well-attended
enrichment activities that included music dance theater archery and other sports Students
attended a STEM camp at the Duneland Nature Center and parents took part in Strengthening
Families and EL parent night After-school students also attended and served as student
ambassadors at the Indiana Youth Institute state conference All of this was in addition to the
intensive tutoring and homework help that was offered The ISTEP and ECA Boot Camps
were well attended
Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School
2014-2015 STPMs fell slightly short of the projections
2015-2016 STPMS fell slightly short of the projections
2016-2017 STPMs exceeded the projections by at least 50
The disparity ofSTPMprojection and actual was due to the district switchingfrom
Acuity to NWEA Accurate comparable data was not available
RAP Status The projected RAP number was 81 for the last three years The first year RAP
projection was met at 81 The second year the RAP count increased to 111 and the third
year was 91

Middle School students and their parents attended college tours and heard guest speakers
on College and Career Readiness Enrichment activities included an award-winning
photography club archery foreign language Girls on the Run Camp Invention and a cooking
club A Jr Police Program which was led by a Lake County Sheriff Students attended a STEM
camp at the Duneland Nature Center The middle school held several programs and a Spring
Exhibition to showcase after-school student work to parents and the community Academic
programs included tutoring and homework help as well as ISTEP Jumpstart Lake Ridge New

Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 21st CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
Calumet New Tech High School students have been found to read below grade level
Furthermore only 38 of middle school students and 64 of high school students passed math
on ISTEP The way in which regular day teachers interact with the afterschool program will
continue to be intentional and personalized and tutoring for English Language Arts Reading
and Math will be done by certified Lake Ridge teachers
In the move toward self-sustainment Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC programs will replace
courses that need outside funding with programs that are provided at little or no cost by partners
such as Ivy Tech Community College The past eight years have taught us that a key to making
an afterschool program successful is manpower and student supervision In addition to the
Program Director both the middle and high schools will have a Site Coordinator who will work
more closely with school administrators to upgrade protocols and procedures The middle school
Site Coordinator is a current Lake Ridge administrator and the high school Site Coordinator is
an experienced tutor and program organizer for Americorp in Valparaiso IN The 21 st CCLC
After-school Program is crucial to the academic and personal growth of Lake Ridge students
and the school district is committed to its success

III NEED FOR PROJECT
A The Lake Ridge New Tech Schools serve a small urban region that straddles the
boundaries between the City of Gary and an unincorporated region known as Calumet Township
The area is both economically and socially depressed Of the total Lake Ridge student population
of 1873 359 of the population is living in poverty (State average is 141 ) During SY
2016-2017 in Lake Ridge New Tech Schools there were 702 suspensions and 22 expulsions 6
involving drugs andor firearms Currently there are 20 known students on active probation in the
district as per the Lake County Sheriffs Office
B Clearly based on the above data Lake Ridge Schools has a critical need for an afterschool
community learning center ISTEP+ scores are for the most part below the state average
Without adequate remediation and additional learning time students will be locked into an
endless cycle ofcatch up Currently 532 of students in the middle school and 65 of the
high school students read below grade level as per NWEA

The need for expansion of counseling services is indicated by the administration of the
Adverse Childhood Experiences Survey (ACES) which indicated that the Lake Ridge students
have experienced 3+ types of trauma This is a tragically high number Lake Ridge has received a
Lilly Counseling Grant and a Title IV Grant which will train teachers aides and 21 st CCLC
personnel to work with students of trauma

C NeedsServices
Needs and services were identified through student and parent informal surveys and
discussions with students during the school day and after-school and parents at Side-by-Sides
conferences and Coffee Talks Partners gave suggestions informally and at Advisory Council
meetings Discussions were held with individual partners as MOUs were created and services
were decided upon This is an ongoing process and partners will serve on the Advisory council to
analyze data and make changes in the program as needed
IV PARTNERSHIPSCOLLABORATIONS

Using disaggregated results from parent and student surveys the Advisory Council have
set the following parameters for the program
bull Courses aligned with Indiana Academic Standards must include literacy math and parts of School Improvement Plans as areas targeted for remediation
bull Enrichment maintenance and remediation needs of the students must be met bull Literacy and math based on the Indiana Academic Content Standards and the Lake
ridge curriculum maps will be the foundations for content offeringsactivities bull Technology and 21 st Century skills College and Career Readiness must be addressed bull Provisions for non-academic interests and skills (ie the arts etc) must be determined
by student interest bull Parent opportunities must be expanded not only for parent educational improvement
but also to foster parentchildschool relationships bull Behavioral and character education issues must be addressed bull The program must provide dinner and transportation home
The Advisory Council has many suggestions for meeting the above parameters The
Advisory Council will continue to meet with evaluator Dr Karen Venditti to review formative
data and make changes to the program as needed Students who are participating on the Council
will be rotated so that fresh anecdotal information is part of the evaluation process

B Evidence of Previous Success (Appendix pp 60-62)
C Design Requirements
1 Targeted Students and Their Families
In accordance with the requirements of GEPA 427 the following is a description of steps
to overcome barriers that may impede equitable access or participation in our program
All Lake Ridge middle and high school students participating in after-school services will
be afforded an opportunity to participate in the comprehensive program (Literacy Math
Career and College Readiness etc) regardless of gender race national origin color
disability or age All services offered will be tailored to individual needs with
accommodations as appropriate tutoring services (auditory component) Literacy and
Math Career and College Readiness activities (translation and developmentally
appropriate activitiesmaterials) transportation (handicapped accessible buses) Lake
Ridge Schools is a member of the Northwest Indiana Special Education Cooperative and
collaborates with them to provide appropriate services and accommodations
Furthermore since the plan includes families with limited English proficiency program
information will be distributed to such potential participants in their native language
Parent programs will have translation services when necessary
a See Attachment B page 2
b All students are targeted and will be recruited on the first day of school and during the
school year by flyers newsletters Lake Ridge website and by word-of-mouth
c Not applicable
d The Lake Ridge New Tech Schools serve a small urban region that straddles the
boundaries between the City of Gary and an unincorporated region known as Calumet
Page 125
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
Township The area is both economically and socially depressed Of the total Lake
Ridge student population of 1873 872 of the students are classified as freereduced
lunch and 359 of the population is living in poverty (State average is 141)
During SY 2016-2017 in Lake Ridge New Tech Schools there were 702 suspensions
and 22 expulsions 6 involving drugs andor firearms Currently there are 20 known
students on active probation in the district as per the Lake County Sheriffs Office
Clearly based on the above data Lake Ridge Schools has a critical need for an
afterschool community learning center Lake Ridge Schools is the hub of the
community and there is an urgent need for a place for the children to go after school
ISTEP+ scores are for the most part below the state average Without adequate
remediation and additional learning time students will be locked into an endless cycle of
catch up Currently 532 of students in the middle school and 65 of the high
school students read below grade level as per NWEA
2 Dissemination ofInformation
Parents of students from Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School Calumet New Tech High
School and Repairer of the Breach Ministries will receive information concerning
program logistics and student recruitment in a variety of ways including but not limited
to the following
bull Flyers will be sent home with students and mailed to parents of Lake Ridge and
Repairer of the Breach Ministries
bull Information will be available on the Lake Ridge website
bull Mass phone calls and text messages will be made on Alert Now
bull Information will be placed on school marquees
bull The local media will publish articles which praise the program
Page 126
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 215 CCLC Grant Proposal 20 I 7
bull A document similar to a college class brochure will list tutoring opportunities and
other classes that will be available after school This will be made available to
students and parents of students who participate in the program
bull Guidance counselors will confer with students who would benefit from the
afterschool program to urge them to take advantage of this opportunity
bull Behavior contracts that include attendance at the afterschool program will be written
by school counselors for students who have discipline andor attendance issues
bull Parents will be given information about afterschool programming at the district-wide
registration in the fall and at other school functions
3 Communication with Schools
a Equitable Service for Non-Public Schools
Students from Repairer of the Breach Ministries may take part in 21 st CCLC activities
(Attachment H p 9) During the Fall of2017 several in-person planning sessions and
telephone conversations took place with Lake Ridge administrators and Dr Mildred
Ewing Principal of Repairer of the Breach Ministries to plan for the attendance of her
students At present she has only one secondary student who might be interested in
attending the Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC program Dr Ewing is aware that academic
information for this student will be required to plan relevant sessions for him and to
evaluate his progress Dr Ewing agreed to be an active participant on the Lake Ridge
21 st CCLC Advisory Council
b Student Record Accessing
To differentiate instruction for students and to monitor progress instructional
personnel must have access to student data Student data reports will be generated by
the Lake Ridge RDS data management system and shared with instructors when
appropriate and with strict attention to privacy Permanent records may be accessed
Page 127
lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 1st CCLC Grant Proposal 201 7
by guidance personnel and the Progran1 Director Reports that will be used for
program evaluation will be generated using STN numbers rather than student names
Repairer of the Breach Ministries will provide student data to the Lake Ridge
Program Director for inclusion in state rep01is and to adjust the program
c Sharing Information on Students with Regular-day School Staffamp Families of
Participating Students and Community Stakeholders
Regular day staff will receive reports on student progress every nine weeks or more
frequently if the need ari ses Since the academic tutors are regular Lake Ridge
licensed teachers the reports may be informal or electronic The report may include
rates of progress and information on content so that the regular staff may coordinate
instruction with afterschool instruction Parents of students from Lake Ridge New
Tech Middle School Calumet New Tech High School and Repairer of the Breach
Ministries will receive information concerning the program and student recruitment in
a variety of ways as described on page 27 In addition every parent will receive a
21 st CCLC Parent Handbook which will include information about requirements for
academic achievement behavior and attendance There will also be program reports
that will be given to parents at regular parent programs Community members may
receive information on the Lake Ridge New Tech Schools website and from articles
in the Hammond Times and the Gay Post-Tribune
d Alignment ofIn-School and Out-of-School Time Efforts to Support Student Success
Lake Ridge Schools has an articulated K-1 2 curriculum which is based on Indiana
Academic Standards The K-1 2 curriculum may be found on the Lake Ridge home
page httpwww lakeridgekl2inus The afterschool program will be based on this
Page 128
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 21st CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
curriculum as well as the high school and middle school School Improvement Plans
which were derived from ISTEP+ PSAT NWEA and other local assessments
4 Programs that Promote Parental Involvement Family Literacy
and Related Educational_Development
Parental involvement in the Lake Ridge community is a challenge Many parents
do not have reliable transportation gas money or they feel uncomfortable because they
themselves were unsuccessful in school Parental involvement with the 21 st CCLC
Program will attack the parental involvement issue on two fronts Parent involvement
with students during the afterschool program and outside ofprogram hours (IAS 8)
Only parents of students enrolled in the 21st CCLC program will participate
Parent Engagement During Afterschool Hours These programs will engage
parents as they interact with their students Side-by-side events may include book
exchanges family game hours science experiments recreational sports and other fun and
educational activities that may be done by parents and students together These activities
will also serve to model for parents how they may help their students at home with
classwork (IAS 13) In addition sessions of a more serious nature may be offered for
parent and child that cover such issues as Internet safety violence prevention and how to
make positive life choices (IAS 13D) Parent classes will cover a variety of topics that
have been suggested on parent questionnaires and during discussions These classes may
include English for non-English speaking parents health and wellness parenting skills
technology recreational sports and literacy
ParentStudent Engagement Outside of Afterschool Hours These occasional
events may include students but will be held outside afterschool hours ( ex weekday
Page 129
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 21st CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
evenings Saturday etc) to accommodate the needs ofworking parents Only parents
who have students enrolled in the Lake Ridge 21st CCLC Program may participate
in these classesworkshops Classes might include literacy math crocheting Zumba
CPR music resume writing computer use and other topics that are requested by the
parents (IAS 15) When appropriate classes will be offered in both Spanish and English
Each school has a gymnasium large classrooms art and music rooms computer labs and
some have science labs so programs that are academic in nature as well as sports and
recreation may be offered The hoursdays of family services will not exceed that of the
student activities
Activities that are held outside of afterschool program time are opportunities to
promote schoolcommunity and family relationships These fun family events can be
educational for the entire family since there are many levels of learning that can be
experienced by family groups working on projects or just having fun together (IAS 9)
The Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC program will work with families and provide referral services
for other issues outside of its capabilities This plan to engage parents is comprehensive
and attainable because it is an extension of the regular school day as opposed to a standshy
alone activity and because it is based on parent requests
bull Offer classes for parents students and parent and student
bull Hold classes for parents at convenient times for working parents
bull Welcome parents daily into the afterschool program to participate with their students
bull Publicize parent opportunities well in advance of the events
bull Hold activities that reflect student and family interests ( communitystudent surveys)

Evidence of Previous Success
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools has operated 21 st CCLC programs for eight years due to
the generous funding from the government From 2010-2014 the program was implemented at
Calumet New Tech High School and in 2015 Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School was added
to the program These after-school programs provide services to high-poverty students who
would otherwise have no safe place to go after school no help with homework or the opportunity
to take part in enrichment classes and in some cases little to eat The Lake Ridge afterschool
program provides all of that dinner homework help fun socialization and a ride home
While mentioning roadblocks may not be the best way to start describing the stellar
accomplishments of the Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC programs there are factors that must be considered
1 The rate of transiency for Lake Ridge Schools varies from 40-60 This means that
it is not easy to amass 2- and 3-year data for students who are here today and gone
tomorrow In fact it is difficult even to achieve RAP status for our students which
makes the fact that both the middle and high school programs have made their RAP
numbers each year even more remarkable There was a 50 gain in ISTEP passage
in the middle and high schools combined for 3-year RAPs
2 After-school programming in secondary schools is difficult due to student
participation in sports clubs etc
3 Parent participation is difficult due to lack of transportation and stability in the home
Calumet New Tech High School
2014-2015 All Short-Term Performance Measures (STPM) were met and exceeded projections
2015-2016 All STPM were met with the exception of graduation for which the projection was
90 and the actual was 89
Page 160
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
2016-2017 Two STPM fell slightly short ofprojection The other STPM exceeded projection by 6
RAP Status The attendance target for the last 3 years was 70 RAPs The actual number of
RAPs exceeded the target for all three years
The success of the high school program included College and Career Readiness activities
that included a speaker panel and multiple college tours to which parents were invited F AFSA
nights were held for students and their parents Opportunities for Service Learning were provided
by allowing high school students to lead middle school activities There were also well-attended
enrichment activities that included music dance theater archery and other sports Students
attended a STEM camp at the Duneland Nature Center and parents took part in Strengthening
Families and EL parent night After-school students also attended and served as student
ambassadors at the Indiana Youth Institute state conference All of this was in addition to the
intensive tutoring and homework help that was offered The ISTEP and ECA Boot Camps
were well attended
Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School
2014-2015 STPMs fell slightly short of the projections
2015-2016 STPMS fell slightly short of the projections
2016-2017 STPMs exceeded the projections by at least 50
The disparity ofSTPMprojection and actual was due to the district switchingfrom
Acuity to NWEA Accurate comparable data was not available
RAP Status The projected RAP number was 81 for the last three years The first year RAP
projection was met at 81 The second year the RAP count increased to 111 and the third
year was 91

Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 1 CCLC Grant Proposal 201 7
Middle School students and their parents attended college tours and heard guest speakers
on College and Career Readiness Enrichment activities included an award-winning
photography club archery foreign language Girls on the Run Camp Invention and a cooking
club A Jr Police Program which was led by a Lake County Sheriff Students attended a STEM
camp at the Duneland Nature Center The middle school held several programs and a Spring
Exhibition to showcase after-school student work to parents and the community Academic
programs included tutoring and homework help as well as ISTEP Jumpstart Lake Ridge New

III NEED FOR PROJECT
A The Lake Ridge New Tech Schools serve a small urban region that straddles the
boundaries between the City of Gary and an unincorporated region known as Calumet Township
The area is both economically and socially depressed Of the total Lake Ridge student population
of 1873 359 of the population is living in poverty (State average is 141 ) During SY
2016-2017 in Lake Ridge New Tech Schools there were 702 suspensions and 22 expulsions 6
involving drugs andor firearms Currently there are 20 known students on active probation in the
district as per the Lake County Sheriffs Office
B Clearly based on the above data Lake Ridge Schools has a critical need for an afterschool
community learning center ISTEP+ scores are for the most part below the state average
Without adequate remediation and additional learning time students will be locked into an
endless cycle ofcatch up Currently 532 of students in the middle school and 65 of the
high school students read below grade level as per NWEA

The need for expansion of counseling services is indicated by the administration of the
Adverse Childhood Experiences Survey (ACES) which indicated that the Lake Ridge students
have experienced 3+ types of trauma This is a tragically high number Lake Ridge has received a
Lilly Counseling Grant and a Title IV Grant which will train teachers aides and 21 st CCLC
personnel to work with students of trauma

Using disaggregated results from parent and student surveys the Advisory Council have
set the following parameters for the program
bull Courses aligned with Indiana Academic Standards must include literacy math and parts of School Improvement Plans as areas targeted for remediation
bull Enrichment maintenance and remediation needs of the students must be met bull Literacy and math based on the Indiana Academic Content Standards and the Lake
ridge curriculum maps will be the foundations for content offeringsactivities bull Technology and 21 st Century skills College and Career Readiness must be addressed bull Provisions for non-academic interests and skills (ie the arts etc) must be determined
by student interest bull Parent opportunities must be expanded not only for parent educational improvement
but also to foster parentchildschool relationships bull Behavioral and character education issues must be addressed bull The program must provide dinner and transportation home
The Advisory Council has many suggestions for meeting the above parameters The
Advisory Council will continue to meet with evaluator Dr Karen Venditti to review formative
data and make changes to the program as needed Students who are participating on the Council
will be rotated so that fresh anecdotal information is part of the evaluation process

B Evidence of Previous Success (Appendix pp 60-62)
C Design Requirements
1 Targeted Students and Their Families
In accordance with the requirements of GEPA 427 the following is a description of steps
to overcome barriers that may impede equitable access or participation in our program
All Lake Ridge middle and high school students participating in after-school services will
be afforded an opportunity to participate in the comprehensive program (Literacy Math
Career and College Readiness etc) regardless of gender race national origin color
disability or age All services offered will be tailored to individual needs with
accommodations as appropriate tutoring services (auditory component) Literacy and
Math Career and College Readiness activities (translation and developmentally
appropriate activitiesmaterials) transportation (handicapped accessible buses) Lake
Ridge Schools is a member of the Northwest Indiana Special Education Cooperative and
collaborates with them to provide appropriate services and accommodations
Furthermore since the plan includes families with limited English proficiency program
information will be distributed to such potential participants in their native language
Parent programs will have translation services when necessary
a See Attachment B page 2
b All students are targeted and will be recruited on the first day of school and during the
school year by flyers newsletters Lake Ridge website and by word-of-mouth
c Not applicable
d The Lake Ridge New Tech Schools serve a small urban region that straddles the
boundaries between the City of Gary and an unincorporated region known as Calumet
Page 125
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
Township The area is both economically and socially depressed Of the total Lake
Ridge student population of 1873 872 of the students are classified as freereduced
lunch and 359 of the population is living in poverty (State average is 141)
During SY 2016-2017 in Lake Ridge New Tech Schools there were 702 suspensions
and 22 expulsions 6 involving drugs andor firearms Currently there are 20 known
students on active probation in the district as per the Lake County Sheriffs Office
Clearly based on the above data Lake Ridge Schools has a critical need for an
afterschool community learning center Lake Ridge Schools is the hub of the
community and there is an urgent need for a place for the children to go after school
ISTEP+ scores are for the most part below the state average Without adequate
remediation and additional learning time students will be locked into an endless cycle of
catch up Currently 532 of students in the middle school and 65 of the high
school students read below grade level as per NWEA
2 Dissemination ofInformation
Parents of students from Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School Calumet New Tech High
School and Repairer of the Breach Ministries will receive information concerning
program logistics and student recruitment in a variety of ways including but not limited
to the following
bull Flyers will be sent home with students and mailed to parents of Lake Ridge and
Repairer of the Breach Ministries
bull Information will be available on the Lake Ridge website
bull Mass phone calls and text messages will be made on Alert Now
bull Information will be placed on school marquees
bull The local media will publish articles which praise the program
Page 126
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 215 CCLC Grant Proposal 20 I 7
bull A document similar to a college class brochure will list tutoring opportunities and
other classes that will be available after school This will be made available to
students and parents of students who participate in the program
bull Guidance counselors will confer with students who would benefit from the
afterschool program to urge them to take advantage of this opportunity
bull Behavior contracts that include attendance at the afterschool program will be written
by school counselors for students who have discipline andor attendance issues
bull Parents will be given information about afterschool programming at the district-wide
registration in the fall and at other school functions
3 Communication with Schools
a Equitable Service for Non-Public Schools
Students from Repairer of the Breach Ministries may take part in 21 st CCLC activities
(Attachment H p 9) During the Fall of2017 several in-person planning sessions and
telephone conversations took place with Lake Ridge administrators and Dr Mildred
Ewing Principal of Repairer of the Breach Ministries to plan for the attendance of her
students At present she has only one secondary student who might be interested in
attending the Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC program Dr Ewing is aware that academic
information for this student will be required to plan relevant sessions for him and to
evaluate his progress Dr Ewing agreed to be an active participant on the Lake Ridge
21 st CCLC Advisory Council
b Student Record Accessing
To differentiate instruction for students and to monitor progress instructional
personnel must have access to student data Student data reports will be generated by
the Lake Ridge RDS data management system and shared with instructors when
appropriate and with strict attention to privacy Permanent records may be accessed
Page 127
lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 1st CCLC Grant Proposal 201 7
by guidance personnel and the Progran1 Director Reports that will be used for
program evaluation will be generated using STN numbers rather than student names
Repairer of the Breach Ministries will provide student data to the Lake Ridge
Program Director for inclusion in state rep01is and to adjust the program
c Sharing Information on Students with Regular-day School Staffamp Families of
Participating Students and Community Stakeholders
Regular day staff will receive reports on student progress every nine weeks or more
frequently if the need ari ses Since the academic tutors are regular Lake Ridge
licensed teachers the reports may be informal or electronic The report may include
rates of progress and information on content so that the regular staff may coordinate
instruction with afterschool instruction Parents of students from Lake Ridge New
Tech Middle School Calumet New Tech High School and Repairer of the Breach
Ministries will receive information concerning the program and student recruitment in
a variety of ways as described on page 27 In addition every parent will receive a
21 st CCLC Parent Handbook which will include information about requirements for
academic achievement behavior and attendance There will also be program reports
that will be given to parents at regular parent programs Community members may
receive information on the Lake Ridge New Tech Schools website and from articles
in the Hammond Times and the Gay Post-Tribune
d Alignment ofIn-School and Out-of-School Time Efforts to Support Student Success
Lake Ridge Schools has an articulated K-1 2 curriculum which is based on Indiana
Academic Standards The K-1 2 curriculum may be found on the Lake Ridge home
page httpwww lakeridgekl2inus The afterschool program will be based on this
Page 128
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 21st CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
curriculum as well as the high school and middle school School Improvement Plans
which were derived from ISTEP+ PSAT NWEA and other local assessments
4 Programs that Promote Parental Involvement Family Literacy
and Related Educational_Development
Parental involvement in the Lake Ridge community is a challenge Many parents
do not have reliable transportation gas money or they feel uncomfortable because they
themselves were unsuccessful in school Parental involvement with the 21 st CCLC
Program will attack the parental involvement issue on two fronts Parent involvement
with students during the afterschool program and outside ofprogram hours (IAS 8)
Only parents of students enrolled in the 21st CCLC program will participate
Parent Engagement During Afterschool Hours These programs will engage
parents as they interact with their students Side-by-side events may include book
exchanges family game hours science experiments recreational sports and other fun and
educational activities that may be done by parents and students together These activities
will also serve to model for parents how they may help their students at home with
classwork (IAS 13) In addition sessions of a more serious nature may be offered for
parent and child that cover such issues as Internet safety violence prevention and how to
make positive life choices (IAS 13D) Parent classes will cover a variety of topics that
have been suggested on parent questionnaires and during discussions These classes may
include English for non-English speaking parents health and wellness parenting skills
technology recreational sports and literacy
ParentStudent Engagement Outside of Afterschool Hours These occasional
events may include students but will be held outside afterschool hours ( ex weekday
Page 129
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 21st CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
evenings Saturday etc) to accommodate the needs ofworking parents Only parents
who have students enrolled in the Lake Ridge 21st CCLC Program may participate
in these classesworkshops Classes might include literacy math crocheting Zumba
CPR music resume writing computer use and other topics that are requested by the
parents (IAS 15) When appropriate classes will be offered in both Spanish and English
Each school has a gymnasium large classrooms art and music rooms computer labs and
some have science labs so programs that are academic in nature as well as sports and
recreation may be offered The hoursdays of family services will not exceed that of the
student activities
Activities that are held outside of afterschool program time are opportunities to
promote schoolcommunity and family relationships These fun family events can be
educational for the entire family since there are many levels of learning that can be
experienced by family groups working on projects or just having fun together (IAS 9)
The Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC program will work with families and provide referral services
for other issues outside of its capabilities This plan to engage parents is comprehensive
and attainable because it is an extension of the regular school day as opposed to a standshy
alone activity and because it is based on parent requests
bull Offer classes for parents students and parent and student
bull Hold classes for parents at convenient times for working parents
bull Welcome parents daily into the afterschool program to participate with their students
bull Publicize parent opportunities well in advance of the events
bull Hold activities that reflect student and family interests ( communitystudent surveys)

VII EVALUATION
A Evaluation Plan
Dr Karen Venditti the current 21st CCLC evaluator will be contracted to continue the
evaluate the programs at the middle and high schools Dr Venditti was a literacy professor at St
Joseph College in Rensselaer IN and an experienced 21 st CCLC evaluator She also will provide
an in-kind service by meeting with the Advisory Council to look at data and formative
assessments to make changes in programming She will lead the summative assessment meeting
for the Advisory Council at the end of the four-year program
B Annual Reporting

year grant period The external evaluator will compile the data to determine if the benchmarks
have been met yearly and at the end of the four years Her findings will be sent to IDOE in the
annual and final reports
C Use ofResultsfor Program Improvement
The use of evaluation and assessment as well as the use of available resources aligns
with the Indiana Afterschool Standards because it establishes connection with schools and

VIII SUPPORT for STRATEGIC PRIORITIES
Lake Ridge Schools has an ar1iculated K-12 curriculum which is based on Indiana
Academic Standards The K-12 curriculum may be found on the Lake Ridge home page
httplakeridgek12inus The afterschool program will be based on this curriculum as well as
on the School Improvement Plans which were derived from ISTEP+ NWEA ECA and other
local assessments All Lake Ridge teachers have received professional development in the
Indiana Academic Standards and are active in developing the curriculum Using this curriculum
and data obtained from state and local assessments afterschool instructors will create learning
experiences for students in the afterschool program which is an extension of the school day
Page I 38
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
Literacy Math and College and Career Readiness will serve as the foundations for the
afterschool academic curricula at the middle and high schools and will be the primary vehicles
through which other skills and content areas are taught Both schools School Improvement
Plans which are on file with the IDOE focus on reading and math In addition College and
Career Readiness will include career exploration 21 st Century skills and diversity
IX SUSTAINABILITY PLAN
The partnerships listed in Section IV will continue after the four-year grant period ends
Instruction will be done by partners volunteers high school students who are working for Service
Learning credits and instructors paid by the district and other grants Other grants such as Titles I
IIA III and IV will provide additional funding for professional development parent involvement
and student remediation It is vital to the success of Lake Ridge New Tech students that there is
an all-out effort to recruit and retain partners for the 21 st CCLC program Although most of the
partners listed in the grant will provide in-kind matches additional funds will be necessary to
maintain the program after the grant period Some personnel costs will be absorbed by Lake
Ridge Lake Ridge New Tech Schools is not in a position from which it can approach improved
student achievement lightly and will do whatever it takes to sustain this program

have multiple trained safety specialists Emergency plans are kept current posted and staff
routinely reviews safety procedures All afterschool staff have on their cell phones an app called
REM4 which has the district safety plan and procedures contacts and an instant notification for
first responders All buildings are equipped with cameras and doors are locked Visitors must be
buzzed in and immediately report to the office The SRO will be available to afterschool
personnel in the event an emergency arises

Evidence of Previous Success
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools has operated 21 st CCLC programs for eight years due to
the generous funding from the government From 2010-2014 the program was implemented at
Calumet New Tech High School and in 2015 Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School was added
to the program These after-school programs provide services to high-poverty students who
would otherwise have no safe place to go after school no help with homework or the opportunity
to take part in enrichment classes and in some cases little to eat The Lake Ridge afterschool
program provides all of that dinner homework help fun socialization and a ride home
While mentioning roadblocks may not be the best way to start describing the stellar
accomplishments of the Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC programs there are factors that must be considered
1 The rate of transiency for Lake Ridge Schools varies from 40-60 This means that
it is not easy to amass 2- and 3-year data for students who are here today and gone
tomorrow In fact it is difficult even to achieve RAP status for our students which
makes the fact that both the middle and high school programs have made their RAP
numbers each year even more remarkable There was a 50 gain in ISTEP passage
in the middle and high schools combined for 3-year RAPs
2 After-school programming in secondary schools is difficult due to student
participation in sports clubs etc
3 Parent participation is difficult due to lack of transportation and stability in the home
Calumet New Tech High School
2014-2015 All Short-Term Performance Measures (STPM) were met and exceeded projections
2015-2016 All STPM were met with the exception of graduation for which the projection was
90 and the actual was 89
Page 160
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
2016-2017 Two STPM fell slightly short ofprojection The other STPM exceeded projection by 6
RAP Status The attendance target for the last 3 years was 70 RAPs The actual number of
RAPs exceeded the target for all three years
The success of the high school program included College and Career Readiness activities
that included a speaker panel and multiple college tours to which parents were invited F AFSA
nights were held for students and their parents Opportunities for Service Learning were provided
by allowing high school students to lead middle school activities There were also well-attended
enrichment activities that included music dance theater archery and other sports Students
attended a STEM camp at the Duneland Nature Center and parents took part in Strengthening
Families and EL parent night After-school students also attended and served as student
ambassadors at the Indiana Youth Institute state conference All of this was in addition to the
intensive tutoring and homework help that was offered The ISTEP and ECA Boot Camps
were well attended
Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School
2014-2015 STPMs fell slightly short of the projections
2015-2016 STPMS fell slightly short of the projections
2016-2017 STPMs exceeded the projections by at least 50
The disparity ofSTPMprojection and actual was due to the district switchingfrom
Acuity to NWEA Accurate comparable data was not available
RAP Status The projected RAP number was 81 for the last three years The first year RAP
projection was met at 81 The second year the RAP count increased to 111 and the third
year was 91

III NEED FOR PROJECT
A The Lake Ridge New Tech Schools serve a small urban region that straddles the
boundaries between the City of Gary and an unincorporated region known as Calumet Township
The area is both economically and socially depressed Of the total Lake Ridge student population
of 1873 359 of the population is living in poverty (State average is 141 ) During SY
2016-2017 in Lake Ridge New Tech Schools there were 702 suspensions and 22 expulsions 6
involving drugs andor firearms Currently there are 20 known students on active probation in the
district as per the Lake County Sheriffs Office
B Clearly based on the above data Lake Ridge Schools has a critical need for an afterschool
community learning center ISTEP+ scores are for the most part below the state average
Without adequate remediation and additional learning time students will be locked into an
endless cycle ofcatch up Currently 532 of students in the middle school and 65 of the
high school students read below grade level as per NWEA

The need for expansion of counseling services is indicated by the administration of the
Adverse Childhood Experiences Survey (ACES) which indicated that the Lake Ridge students
have experienced 3+ types of trauma This is a tragically high number Lake Ridge has received a
Lilly Counseling Grant and a Title IV Grant which will train teachers aides and 21 st CCLC
personnel to work with students of trauma

C NeedsServices
Needs and services were identified through student and parent informal surveys and
discussions with students during the school day and after-school and parents at Side-by-Sides
conferences and Coffee Talks Partners gave suggestions informally and at Advisory Council
meetings Discussions were held with individual partners as MOUs were created and services
were decided upon This is an ongoing process and partners will serve on the Advisory council to
analyze data and make changes in the program as needed

Using disaggregated results from parent and student surveys the Advisory Council have
set the following parameters for the program
bull Courses aligned with Indiana Academic Standards must include literacy math and parts of School Improvement Plans as areas targeted for remediation
bull Enrichment maintenance and remediation needs of the students must be met bull Literacy and math based on the Indiana Academic Content Standards and the Lake
ridge curriculum maps will be the foundations for content offeringsactivities bull Technology and 21 st Century skills College and Career Readiness must be addressed bull Provisions for non-academic interests and skills (ie the arts etc) must be determined
by student interest bull Parent opportunities must be expanded not only for parent educational improvement
but also to foster parentchildschool relationships bull Behavioral and character education issues must be addressed bull The program must provide dinner and transportation home
The Advisory Council has many suggestions for meeting the above parameters The
Advisory Council will continue to meet with evaluator Dr Karen Venditti to review formative
data and make changes to the program as needed Students who are participating on the Council
will be rotated so that fresh anecdotal information is part of the evaluation process

B Evidence of Previous Success (Appendix pp 60-62)
C Design Requirements
1 Targeted Students and Their Families
In accordance with the requirements of GEPA 427 the following is a description of steps
to overcome barriers that may impede equitable access or participation in our program
All Lake Ridge middle and high school students participating in after-school services will
be afforded an opportunity to participate in the comprehensive program (Literacy Math
Career and College Readiness etc) regardless of gender race national origin color
disability or age All services offered will be tailored to individual needs with
accommodations as appropriate tutoring services (auditory component) Literacy and
Math Career and College Readiness activities (translation and developmentally
appropriate activitiesmaterials) transportation (handicapped accessible buses) Lake
Ridge Schools is a member of the Northwest Indiana Special Education Cooperative and
collaborates with them to provide appropriate services and accommodations
Furthermore since the plan includes families with limited English proficiency program
information will be distributed to such potential participants in their native language
Parent programs will have translation services when necessary
a See Attachment B page 2
b All students are targeted and will be recruited on the first day of school and during the
school year by flyers newsletters Lake Ridge website and by word-of-mouth
c Not applicable
d The Lake Ridge New Tech Schools serve a small urban region that straddles the
boundaries between the City of Gary and an unincorporated region known as Calumet
Page 125
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
Township The area is both economically and socially depressed Of the total Lake
Ridge student population of 1873 872 of the students are classified as freereduced
lunch and 359 of the population is living in poverty (State average is 141)
During SY 2016-2017 in Lake Ridge New Tech Schools there were 702 suspensions
and 22 expulsions 6 involving drugs andor firearms Currently there are 20 known
students on active probation in the district as per the Lake County Sheriffs Office
Clearly based on the above data Lake Ridge Schools has a critical need for an
afterschool community learning center Lake Ridge Schools is the hub of the
community and there is an urgent need for a place for the children to go after school
ISTEP+ scores are for the most part below the state average Without adequate
remediation and additional learning time students will be locked into an endless cycle of
catch up Currently 532 of students in the middle school and 65 of the high
school students read below grade level as per NWEA
2 Dissemination ofInformation
Parents of students from Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School Calumet New Tech High
School and Repairer of the Breach Ministries will receive information concerning
program logistics and student recruitment in a variety of ways including but not limited
to the following
bull Flyers will be sent home with students and mailed to parents of Lake Ridge and
Repairer of the Breach Ministries
bull Information will be available on the Lake Ridge website
bull Mass phone calls and text messages will be made on Alert Now
bull Information will be placed on school marquees
bull The local media will publish articles which praise the program
Page 126
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 215 CCLC Grant Proposal 20 I 7
bull A document similar to a college class brochure will list tutoring opportunities and
other classes that will be available after school This will be made available to
students and parents of students who participate in the program
bull Guidance counselors will confer with students who would benefit from the
afterschool program to urge them to take advantage of this opportunity
bull Behavior contracts that include attendance at the afterschool program will be written
by school counselors for students who have discipline andor attendance issues
bull Parents will be given information about afterschool programming at the district-wide
registration in the fall and at other school functions
3 Communication with Schools
a Equitable Service for Non-Public Schools
Students from Repairer of the Breach Ministries may take part in 21 st CCLC activities
(Attachment H p 9) During the Fall of2017 several in-person planning sessions and
telephone conversations took place with Lake Ridge administrators and Dr Mildred
Ewing Principal of Repairer of the Breach Ministries to plan for the attendance of her
students At present she has only one secondary student who might be interested in
attending the Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC program Dr Ewing is aware that academic
information for this student will be required to plan relevant sessions for him and to
evaluate his progress Dr Ewing agreed to be an active participant on the Lake Ridge
21 st CCLC Advisory Council
b Student Record Accessing
To differentiate instruction for students and to monitor progress instructional
personnel must have access to student data Student data reports will be generated by
the Lake Ridge RDS data management system and shared with instructors when
appropriate and with strict attention to privacy Permanent records may be accessed
Page 127
lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 1st CCLC Grant Proposal 201 7
by guidance personnel and the Progran1 Director Reports that will be used for
program evaluation will be generated using STN numbers rather than student names
Repairer of the Breach Ministries will provide student data to the Lake Ridge
Program Director for inclusion in state rep01is and to adjust the program
c Sharing Information on Students with Regular-day School Staffamp Families of
Participating Students and Community Stakeholders
Regular day staff will receive reports on student progress every nine weeks or more
frequently if the need ari ses Since the academic tutors are regular Lake Ridge
licensed teachers the reports may be informal or electronic The report may include
rates of progress and information on content so that the regular staff may coordinate
instruction with afterschool instruction Parents of students from Lake Ridge New
Tech Middle School Calumet New Tech High School and Repairer of the Breach
Ministries will receive information concerning the program and student recruitment in
a variety of ways as described on page 27 In addition every parent will receive a
21 st CCLC Parent Handbook which will include information about requirements for
academic achievement behavior and attendance There will also be program reports
that will be given to parents at regular parent programs Community members may
receive information on the Lake Ridge New Tech Schools website and from articles
in the Hammond Times and the Gay Post-Tribune
d Alignment ofIn-School and Out-of-School Time Efforts to Support Student Success
Lake Ridge Schools has an articulated K-1 2 curriculum which is based on Indiana
Academic Standards The K-1 2 curriculum may be found on the Lake Ridge home
page httpwww lakeridgekl2inus The afterschool program will be based on this
Page 128
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 21st CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
curriculum as well as the high school and middle school School Improvement Plans
which were derived from ISTEP+ PSAT NWEA and other local assessments
4 Programs that Promote Parental Involvement Family Literacy
and Related Educational_Development
Parental involvement in the Lake Ridge community is a challenge Many parents
do not have reliable transportation gas money or they feel uncomfortable because they
themselves were unsuccessful in school Parental involvement with the 21 st CCLC
Program will attack the parental involvement issue on two fronts Parent involvement
with students during the afterschool program and outside ofprogram hours (IAS 8)
Only parents of students enrolled in the 21st CCLC program will participate
Parent Engagement During Afterschool Hours These programs will engage
parents as they interact with their students Side-by-side events may include book
exchanges family game hours science experiments recreational sports and other fun and
educational activities that may be done by parents and students together These activities
will also serve to model for parents how they may help their students at home with
classwork (IAS 13) In addition sessions of a more serious nature may be offered for
parent and child that cover such issues as Internet safety violence prevention and how to
make positive life choices (IAS 13D) Parent classes will cover a variety of topics that
have been suggested on parent questionnaires and during discussions These classes may
include English for non-English speaking parents health and wellness parenting skills
technology recreational sports and literacy
ParentStudent Engagement Outside of Afterschool Hours These occasional
events may include students but will be held outside afterschool hours ( ex weekday
Page 129
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 21st CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
evenings Saturday etc) to accommodate the needs ofworking parents Only parents
who have students enrolled in the Lake Ridge 21st CCLC Program may participate
in these classesworkshops Classes might include literacy math crocheting Zumba
CPR music resume writing computer use and other topics that are requested by the
parents (IAS 15) When appropriate classes will be offered in both Spanish and English
Each school has a gymnasium large classrooms art and music rooms computer labs and
some have science labs so programs that are academic in nature as well as sports and
recreation may be offered The hoursdays of family services will not exceed that of the
student activities
Activities that are held outside of afterschool program time are opportunities to
promote schoolcommunity and family relationships These fun family events can be
educational for the entire family since there are many levels of learning that can be
experienced by family groups working on projects or just having fun together (IAS 9)
The Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC program will work with families and provide referral services
for other issues outside of its capabilities This plan to engage parents is comprehensive
and attainable because it is an extension of the regular school day as opposed to a standshy
alone activity and because it is based on parent requests
bull Offer classes for parents students and parent and student
bull Hold classes for parents at convenient times for working parents
bull Welcome parents daily into the afterschool program to participate with their students
bull Publicize parent opportunities well in advance of the events
bull Hold activities that reflect student and family interests ( communitystudent surveys)

VIII SUPPORT for STRATEGIC PRIORITIES
Lake Ridge Schools has an ar1iculated K-12 curriculum which is based on Indiana
Academic Standards The K-12 curriculum may be found on the Lake Ridge home page
httplakeridgek12inus The afterschool program will be based on this curriculum as well as
on the School Improvement Plans which were derived from ISTEP+ NWEA ECA and other
local assessments All Lake Ridge teachers have received professional development in the
Indiana Academic Standards and are active in developing the curriculum Using this curriculum
and data obtained from state and local assessments afterschool instructors will create learning
experiences for students in the afterschool program which is an extension of the school day
Page I 38
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
Literacy Math and College and Career Readiness will serve as the foundations for the
afterschool academic curricula at the middle and high schools and will be the primary vehicles
through which other skills and content areas are taught Both schools School Improvement
Plans which are on file with the IDOE focus on reading and math In addition College and
Career Readiness will include career exploration 21 st Century skills and diversity
IX SUSTAINABILITY PLAN
The partnerships listed in Section IV will continue after the four-year grant period ends
Instruction will be done by partners volunteers high school students who are working for Service
Learning credits and instructors paid by the district and other grants Other grants such as Titles I
IIA III and IV will provide additional funding for professional development parent involvement
and student remediation It is vital to the success of Lake Ridge New Tech students that there is
an all-out effort to recruit and retain partners for the 21 st CCLC program Although most of the
partners listed in the grant will provide in-kind matches additional funds will be necessary to
maintain the program after the grant period Some personnel costs will be absorbed by Lake
Ridge Lake Ridge New Tech Schools is not in a position from which it can approach improved
student achievement lightly and will do whatever it takes to sustain this program

X SAFETY AND TRANSPORTATION
A Safety is always a priority for Lake Ridge Schools Both the middle and high schools
have multiple trained safety specialists Emergency plans are kept current posted and staff
routinely reviews safety procedures All afterschool staff have on their cell phones an app called
REM4 which has the district safety plan and procedures contacts and an instant notification for
first responders All buildings are equipped with cameras and doors are locked Visitors must be
buzzed in and immediately report to the office The SRO will be available to afterschool
personnel in the event an emergency arises
Page 140
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 215 CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
B All Lake Ridge personnel including substitutes and volunteers undergo background
checks All afterschool instructors and volunteers who are not employees of Lake Ridge Schools
will be required to undergo the same background check The results of the background checks
are maintained in the Lake Ridge Central Office and are private When certified teachers are
required to teach content areas they will be fully licensed in their subject areas DOE teacher
licensing requires certification in CPR and AED
C The 21 st CCLC Programs are held in the middle and high schools There are no sidewalks
in the area so walkers are not allowed Bus transportation will be available after school at each
building The bus routes will be assigned each day by the Lake Ridge Transportation Director
with daily information from the Site Coordinators Site Coordinators will be responsible for
seeing that the students are properly supervised while waiting for the bus and that all students are
accounted for and have transportation home Parents will not be expected to pick up their
students Parents who choose to pick up their students must show identification and sign for that
student The Lake County Sheriffs Office is in contact with the Lake Ridge School Resource
Officers about this program Extra law enforcement will be in place to make sure that the
children are safe during the program and on the way home Parents will be given specific
information about release times
College tours and field trips will be arranged using the Lake Ridge stringent set of safety
requirements and codes of conduct for students Furthermore the trips will be heavily
chaperoned by persons who have had background checks Parents will be required to give
written permission for their students to go on any trip

the generous funding from the government From 2010-2014 the program was implemented at
Calumet New Tech High School and in 2015 Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School was added
to the program These after-school programs provide services to high-poverty students who
would otherwise have no safe place to go after school no help with homework or the opportunity
to take part in enrichment classes and in some cases little to eat The Lake Ridge afterschool
program provides all of that dinner homework help fun socialization and a ride home
While mentioning roadblocks may not be the best way to start describing the stellar
accomplishments of the Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC programs there are factors that must be considered
1 The rate of transiency for Lake Ridge Schools varies from 40-60 This means that
it is not easy to amass 2- and 3-year data for students who are here today and gone
tomorrow In fact it is difficult even to achieve RAP status for our students which
makes the fact that both the middle and high school programs have made their RAP
numbers each year even more remarkable There was a 50 gain in ISTEP passage
in the middle and high schools combined for 3-year RAPs
2 After-school programming in secondary schools is difficult due to student
participation in sports clubs etc
3 Parent participation is difficult due to lack of transportation and stability in the home
Calumet New Tech High School
2014-2015 All Short-Term Performance Measures (STPM) were met and exceeded projections
2015-2016 All STPM were met with the exception of graduation for which the projection was
90 and the actual was 89
Page 160
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
2016-2017 Two STPM fell slightly short ofprojection The other STPM exceeded projection by 6
RAP Status The attendance target for the last 3 years was 70 RAPs The actual number of
RAPs exceeded the target for all three years
The success of the high school program included College and Career Readiness activities
that included a speaker panel and multiple college tours to which parents were invited F AFSA
nights were held for students and their parents Opportunities for Service Learning were provided
by allowing high school students to lead middle school activities There were also well-attended
enrichment activities that included music dance theater archery and other sports Students
attended a STEM camp at the Duneland Nature Center and parents took part in Strengthening
Families and EL parent night After-school students also attended and served as student
ambassadors at the Indiana Youth Institute state conference All of this was in addition to the
intensive tutoring and homework help that was offered The ISTEP and ECA Boot Camps
were well attended
Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School
2014-2015 STPMs fell slightly short of the projections
2015-2016 STPMS fell slightly short of the projections
2016-2017 STPMs exceeded the projections by at least 50
The disparity ofSTPMprojection and actual was due to the district switchingfrom
Acuity to NWEA Accurate comparable data was not available
RAP Status The projected RAP number was 81 for the last three years The first year RAP
projection was met at 81 The second year the RAP count increased to 111 and the third
year was 91

discussions with students during the school day and after-school and parents at Side-by-Sides
conferences and Coffee Talks Partners gave suggestions informally and at Advisory Council
meetings Discussions were held with individual partners as MOUs were created and services
were decided upon This is an ongoing process and partners will serve on the Advisory council to
analyze data and make changes in the program as needed

Using disaggregated results from parent and student surveys the Advisory Council have
set the following parameters for the program
bull Courses aligned with Indiana Academic Standards must include literacy math and parts of School Improvement Plans as areas targeted for remediation
bull Enrichment maintenance and remediation needs of the students must be met bull Literacy and math based on the Indiana Academic Content Standards and the Lake
ridge curriculum maps will be the foundations for content offeringsactivities bull Technology and 21 st Century skills College and Career Readiness must be addressed bull Provisions for non-academic interests and skills (ie the arts etc) must be determined
by student interest bull Parent opportunities must be expanded not only for parent educational improvement
but also to foster parentchildschool relationships bull Behavioral and character education issues must be addressed bull The program must provide dinner and transportation home
The Advisory Council has many suggestions for meeting the above parameters The
Advisory Council will continue to meet with evaluator Dr Karen Venditti to review formative
data and make changes to the program as needed Students who are participating on the Council
will be rotated so that fresh anecdotal information is part of the evaluation process

B Evidence of Previous Success (Appendix pp 60-62)
C Design Requirements
1 Targeted Students and Their Families
In accordance with the requirements of GEPA 427 the following is a description of steps
to overcome barriers that may impede equitable access or participation in our program
All Lake Ridge middle and high school students participating in after-school services will
be afforded an opportunity to participate in the comprehensive program (Literacy Math
Career and College Readiness etc) regardless of gender race national origin color
disability or age All services offered will be tailored to individual needs with
accommodations as appropriate tutoring services (auditory component) Literacy and
Math Career and College Readiness activities (translation and developmentally
appropriate activitiesmaterials) transportation (handicapped accessible buses) Lake
Ridge Schools is a member of the Northwest Indiana Special Education Cooperative and
collaborates with them to provide appropriate services and accommodations
Furthermore since the plan includes families with limited English proficiency program
information will be distributed to such potential participants in their native language
Parent programs will have translation services when necessary
a See Attachment B page 2
b All students are targeted and will be recruited on the first day of school and during the
school year by flyers newsletters Lake Ridge website and by word-of-mouth
c Not applicable
d The Lake Ridge New Tech Schools serve a small urban region that straddles the
boundaries between the City of Gary and an unincorporated region known as Calumet
Page 125
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
Township The area is both economically and socially depressed Of the total Lake
Ridge student population of 1873 872 of the students are classified as freereduced
lunch and 359 of the population is living in poverty (State average is 141)
During SY 2016-2017 in Lake Ridge New Tech Schools there were 702 suspensions
and 22 expulsions 6 involving drugs andor firearms Currently there are 20 known
students on active probation in the district as per the Lake County Sheriffs Office
Clearly based on the above data Lake Ridge Schools has a critical need for an
afterschool community learning center Lake Ridge Schools is the hub of the
community and there is an urgent need for a place for the children to go after school
ISTEP+ scores are for the most part below the state average Without adequate
remediation and additional learning time students will be locked into an endless cycle of
catch up Currently 532 of students in the middle school and 65 of the high
school students read below grade level as per NWEA
2 Dissemination ofInformation
Parents of students from Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School Calumet New Tech High
School and Repairer of the Breach Ministries will receive information concerning
program logistics and student recruitment in a variety of ways including but not limited
to the following
bull Flyers will be sent home with students and mailed to parents of Lake Ridge and
Repairer of the Breach Ministries
bull Information will be available on the Lake Ridge website
bull Mass phone calls and text messages will be made on Alert Now
bull Information will be placed on school marquees
bull The local media will publish articles which praise the program
Page 126
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 215 CCLC Grant Proposal 20 I 7
bull A document similar to a college class brochure will list tutoring opportunities and
other classes that will be available after school This will be made available to
students and parents of students who participate in the program
bull Guidance counselors will confer with students who would benefit from the
afterschool program to urge them to take advantage of this opportunity
bull Behavior contracts that include attendance at the afterschool program will be written
by school counselors for students who have discipline andor attendance issues
bull Parents will be given information about afterschool programming at the district-wide
registration in the fall and at other school functions
3 Communication with Schools
a Equitable Service for Non-Public Schools
Students from Repairer of the Breach Ministries may take part in 21 st CCLC activities
(Attachment H p 9) During the Fall of2017 several in-person planning sessions and
telephone conversations took place with Lake Ridge administrators and Dr Mildred
Ewing Principal of Repairer of the Breach Ministries to plan for the attendance of her
students At present she has only one secondary student who might be interested in
attending the Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC program Dr Ewing is aware that academic
information for this student will be required to plan relevant sessions for him and to
evaluate his progress Dr Ewing agreed to be an active participant on the Lake Ridge
21 st CCLC Advisory Council
b Student Record Accessing
To differentiate instruction for students and to monitor progress instructional
personnel must have access to student data Student data reports will be generated by
the Lake Ridge RDS data management system and shared with instructors when
appropriate and with strict attention to privacy Permanent records may be accessed
Page 127
lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 1st CCLC Grant Proposal 201 7
by guidance personnel and the Progran1 Director Reports that will be used for
program evaluation will be generated using STN numbers rather than student names
Repairer of the Breach Ministries will provide student data to the Lake Ridge
Program Director for inclusion in state rep01is and to adjust the program
c Sharing Information on Students with Regular-day School Staffamp Families of
Participating Students and Community Stakeholders
Regular day staff will receive reports on student progress every nine weeks or more
frequently if the need ari ses Since the academic tutors are regular Lake Ridge
licensed teachers the reports may be informal or electronic The report may include
rates of progress and information on content so that the regular staff may coordinate
instruction with afterschool instruction Parents of students from Lake Ridge New
Tech Middle School Calumet New Tech High School and Repairer of the Breach
Ministries will receive information concerning the program and student recruitment in

4 Programs that Promote Parental Involvement Family Literacy
and Related Educational_Development
Parental involvement in the Lake Ridge community is a challenge Many parents
do not have reliable transportation gas money or they feel uncomfortable because they
themselves were unsuccessful in school Parental involvement with the 21 st CCLC
Program will attack the parental involvement issue on two fronts Parent involvement
with students during the afterschool program and outside ofprogram hours (IAS 8)
Only parents of students enrolled in the 21st CCLC program will participate
Parent Engagement During Afterschool Hours These programs will engage
parents as they interact with their students Side-by-side events may include book
exchanges family game hours science experiments recreational sports and other fun and
educational activities that may be done by parents and students together These activities
will also serve to model for parents how they may help their students at home with
classwork (IAS 13) In addition sessions of a more serious nature may be offered for
parent and child that cover such issues as Internet safety violence prevention and how to
make positive life choices (IAS 13D) Parent classes will cover a variety of topics that
have been suggested on parent questionnaires and during discussions These classes may
include English for non-English speaking parents health and wellness parenting skills
technology recreational sports and literacy
ParentStudent Engagement Outside of Afterschool Hours These occasional
events may include students but will be held outside afterschool hours ( ex weekday
Page 129
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 21st CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
evenings Saturday etc) to accommodate the needs ofworking parents Only parents
who have students enrolled in the Lake Ridge 21st CCLC Program may participate
in these classesworkshops Classes might include literacy math crocheting Zumba
CPR music resume writing computer use and other topics that are requested by the
parents (IAS 15) When appropriate classes will be offered in both Spanish and English
Each school has a gymnasium large classrooms art and music rooms computer labs and
some have science labs so programs that are academic in nature as well as sports and
recreation may be offered The hoursdays of family services will not exceed that of the
student activities
Activities that are held outside of afterschool program time are opportunities to
promote schoolcommunity and family relationships These fun family events can be
educational for the entire family since there are many levels of learning that can be
experienced by family groups working on projects or just having fun together (IAS 9)
The Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC program will work with families and provide referral services
for other issues outside of its capabilities This plan to engage parents is comprehensive
and attainable because it is an extension of the regular school day as opposed to a standshy
alone activity and because it is based on parent requests
bull Offer classes for parents students and parent and student
bull Hold classes for parents at convenient times for working parents
bull Welcome parents daily into the afterschool program to participate with their students
bull Publicize parent opportunities well in advance of the events
bull Hold activities that reflect student and family interests ( communitystudent surveys)

VIII SUPPORT for STRATEGIC PRIORITIES
Lake Ridge Schools has an ar1iculated K-12 curriculum which is based on Indiana
Academic Standards The K-12 curriculum may be found on the Lake Ridge home page
httplakeridgek12inus The afterschool program will be based on this curriculum as well as
on the School Improvement Plans which were derived from ISTEP+ NWEA ECA and other
local assessments All Lake Ridge teachers have received professional development in the
Indiana Academic Standards and are active in developing the curriculum Using this curriculum
and data obtained from state and local assessments afterschool instructors will create learning
experiences for students in the afterschool program which is an extension of the school day
Page I 38
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
Literacy Math and College and Career Readiness will serve as the foundations for the
afterschool academic curricula at the middle and high schools and will be the primary vehicles
through which other skills and content areas are taught Both schools School Improvement
Plans which are on file with the IDOE focus on reading and math In addition College and
Career Readiness will include career exploration 21 st Century skills and diversity
IX SUSTAINABILITY PLAN
The partnerships listed in Section IV will continue after the four-year grant period ends
Instruction will be done by partners volunteers high school students who are working for Service
Learning credits and instructors paid by the district and other grants Other grants such as Titles I
IIA III and IV will provide additional funding for professional development parent involvement
and student remediation It is vital to the success of Lake Ridge New Tech students that there is
an all-out effort to recruit and retain partners for the 21 st CCLC program Although most of the
partners listed in the grant will provide in-kind matches additional funds will be necessary to
maintain the program after the grant period Some personnel costs will be absorbed by Lake
Ridge Lake Ridge New Tech Schools is not in a position from which it can approach improved
student achievement lightly and will do whatever it takes to sustain this program

Evidence of Previous Success
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools has operated 21 st CCLC programs for eight years due to
the generous funding from the government From 2010-2014 the program was implemented at
Calumet New Tech High School and in 2015 Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School was added
to the program These after-school programs provide services to high-poverty students who
would otherwise have no safe place to go after school no help with homework or the opportunity
to take part in enrichment classes and in some cases little to eat The Lake Ridge afterschool
program provides all of that dinner homework help fun socialization and a ride home
While mentioning roadblocks may not be the best way to start describing the stellar
accomplishments of the Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC programs there are factors that must be considered
1 The rate of transiency for Lake Ridge Schools varies from 40-60 This means that
it is not easy to amass 2- and 3-year data for students who are here today and gone
tomorrow In fact it is difficult even to achieve RAP status for our students which
makes the fact that both the middle and high school programs have made their RAP
numbers each year even more remarkable There was a 50 gain in ISTEP passage
in the middle and high schools combined for 3-year RAPs
2 After-school programming in secondary schools is difficult due to student
participation in sports clubs etc
3 Parent participation is difficult due to lack of transportation and stability in the home
Calumet New Tech High School
2014-2015 All Short-Term Performance Measures (STPM) were met and exceeded projections
2015-2016 All STPM were met with the exception of graduation for which the projection was
90 and the actual was 89
Page 160
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
2016-2017 Two STPM fell slightly short ofprojection The other STPM exceeded projection by 6
RAP Status The attendance target for the last 3 years was 70 RAPs The actual number of
RAPs exceeded the target for all three years
The success of the high school program included College and Career Readiness activities
that included a speaker panel and multiple college tours to which parents were invited F AFSA
nights were held for students and their parents Opportunities for Service Learning were provided
by allowing high school students to lead middle school activities There were also well-attended
enrichment activities that included music dance theater archery and other sports Students
attended a STEM camp at the Duneland Nature Center and parents took part in Strengthening
Families and EL parent night After-school students also attended and served as student
ambassadors at the Indiana Youth Institute state conference All of this was in addition to the
intensive tutoring and homework help that was offered The ISTEP and ECA Boot Camps
were well attended
Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School
2014-2015 STPMs fell slightly short of the projections
2015-2016 STPMS fell slightly short of the projections
2016-2017 STPMs exceeded the projections by at least 50
The disparity ofSTPMprojection and actual was due to the district switchingfrom
Acuity to NWEA Accurate comparable data was not available
RAP Status The projected RAP number was 81 for the last three years The first year RAP
projection was met at 81 The second year the RAP count increased to 111 and the third
year was 91

Middle School students and their parents attended college tours and heard guest speakers
on College and Career Readiness Enrichment activities included an award-winning
photography club archery foreign language Girls on the Run Camp Invention and a cooking
club A Jr Police Program which was led by a Lake County Sheriff Students attended a STEM
camp at the Duneland Nature Center The middle school held several programs and a Spring
Exhibition to showcase after-school student work to parents and the community Academic
programs included tutoring and homework help as well as ISTEP Jumpstart Lake Ridge New

Using disaggregated results from parent and student surveys the Advisory Council have
set the following parameters for the program
bull Courses aligned with Indiana Academic Standards must include literacy math and parts of School Improvement Plans as areas targeted for remediation
bull Enrichment maintenance and remediation needs of the students must be met bull Literacy and math based on the Indiana Academic Content Standards and the Lake
ridge curriculum maps will be the foundations for content offeringsactivities bull Technology and 21 st Century skills College and Career Readiness must be addressed bull Provisions for non-academic interests and skills (ie the arts etc) must be determined
by student interest bull Parent opportunities must be expanded not only for parent educational improvement
but also to foster parentchildschool relationships bull Behavioral and character education issues must be addressed bull The program must provide dinner and transportation home
The Advisory Council has many suggestions for meeting the above parameters The
Advisory Council will continue to meet with evaluator Dr Karen Venditti to review formative
data and make changes to the program as needed Students who are participating on the Council
will be rotated so that fresh anecdotal information is part of the evaluation process

B Evidence of Previous Success (Appendix pp 60-62)
C Design Requirements
1 Targeted Students and Their Families
In accordance with the requirements of GEPA 427 the following is a description of steps
to overcome barriers that may impede equitable access or participation in our program
All Lake Ridge middle and high school students participating in after-school services will
be afforded an opportunity to participate in the comprehensive program (Literacy Math
Career and College Readiness etc) regardless of gender race national origin color
disability or age All services offered will be tailored to individual needs with
accommodations as appropriate tutoring services (auditory component) Literacy and
Math Career and College Readiness activities (translation and developmentally
appropriate activitiesmaterials) transportation (handicapped accessible buses) Lake
Ridge Schools is a member of the Northwest Indiana Special Education Cooperative and
collaborates with them to provide appropriate services and accommodations
Furthermore since the plan includes families with limited English proficiency program
information will be distributed to such potential participants in their native language
Parent programs will have translation services when necessary
a See Attachment B page 2
b All students are targeted and will be recruited on the first day of school and during the
school year by flyers newsletters Lake Ridge website and by word-of-mouth
c Not applicable
d The Lake Ridge New Tech Schools serve a small urban region that straddles the
boundaries between the City of Gary and an unincorporated region known as Calumet
Page 125
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
Township The area is both economically and socially depressed Of the total Lake
Ridge student population of 1873 872 of the students are classified as freereduced
lunch and 359 of the population is living in poverty (State average is 141)
During SY 2016-2017 in Lake Ridge New Tech Schools there were 702 suspensions
and 22 expulsions 6 involving drugs andor firearms Currently there are 20 known
students on active probation in the district as per the Lake County Sheriffs Office
Clearly based on the above data Lake Ridge Schools has a critical need for an
afterschool community learning center Lake Ridge Schools is the hub of the
community and there is an urgent need for a place for the children to go after school
ISTEP+ scores are for the most part below the state average Without adequate
remediation and additional learning time students will be locked into an endless cycle of
catch up Currently 532 of students in the middle school and 65 of the high
school students read below grade level as per NWEA
2 Dissemination ofInformation
Parents of students from Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School Calumet New Tech High
School and Repairer of the Breach Ministries will receive information concerning
program logistics and student recruitment in a variety of ways including but not limited
to the following
bull Flyers will be sent home with students and mailed to parents of Lake Ridge and
Repairer of the Breach Ministries
bull Information will be available on the Lake Ridge website
bull Mass phone calls and text messages will be made on Alert Now
bull Information will be placed on school marquees
bull The local media will publish articles which praise the program
Page 126
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 215 CCLC Grant Proposal 20 I 7
bull A document similar to a college class brochure will list tutoring opportunities and
other classes that will be available after school This will be made available to
students and parents of students who participate in the program
bull Guidance counselors will confer with students who would benefit from the
afterschool program to urge them to take advantage of this opportunity
bull Behavior contracts that include attendance at the afterschool program will be written
by school counselors for students who have discipline andor attendance issues
bull Parents will be given information about afterschool programming at the district-wide
registration in the fall and at other school functions
3 Communication with Schools
a Equitable Service for Non-Public Schools
Students from Repairer of the Breach Ministries may take part in 21 st CCLC activities
(Attachment H p 9) During the Fall of2017 several in-person planning sessions and
telephone conversations took place with Lake Ridge administrators and Dr Mildred
Ewing Principal of Repairer of the Breach Ministries to plan for the attendance of her
students At present she has only one secondary student who might be interested in
attending the Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC program Dr Ewing is aware that academic
information for this student will be required to plan relevant sessions for him and to
evaluate his progress Dr Ewing agreed to be an active participant on the Lake Ridge
21 st CCLC Advisory Council
b Student Record Accessing
To differentiate instruction for students and to monitor progress instructional
personnel must have access to student data Student data reports will be generated by
the Lake Ridge RDS data management system and shared with instructors when
appropriate and with strict attention to privacy Permanent records may be accessed
Page 127
lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 1st CCLC Grant Proposal 201 7
by guidance personnel and the Progran1 Director Reports that will be used for
program evaluation will be generated using STN numbers rather than student names
Repairer of the Breach Ministries will provide student data to the Lake Ridge
Program Director for inclusion in state rep01is and to adjust the program
c Sharing Information on Students with Regular-day School Staffamp Families of
Participating Students and Community Stakeholders
Regular day staff will receive reports on student progress every nine weeks or more
frequently if the need ari ses Since the academic tutors are regular Lake Ridge
licensed teachers the reports may be informal or electronic The report may include
rates of progress and information on content so that the regular staff may coordinate
instruction with afterschool instruction Parents of students from Lake Ridge New
Tech Middle School Calumet New Tech High School and Repairer of the Breach
Ministries will receive information concerning the program and student recruitment in
a variety of ways as described on page 27 In addition every parent will receive a
21 st CCLC Parent Handbook which will include information about requirements for
academic achievement behavior and attendance There will also be program reports
that will be given to parents at regular parent programs Community members may
receive information on the Lake Ridge New Tech Schools website and from articles
in the Hammond Times and the Gay Post-Tribune
d Alignment ofIn-School and Out-of-School Time Efforts to Support Student Success
Lake Ridge Schools has an articulated K-1 2 curriculum which is based on Indiana
Academic Standards The K-1 2 curriculum may be found on the Lake Ridge home
page httpwww lakeridgekl2inus The afterschool program will be based on this
Page 128
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 21st CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
curriculum as well as the high school and middle school School Improvement Plans
which were derived from ISTEP+ PSAT NWEA and other local assessments
4 Programs that Promote Parental Involvement Family Literacy
and Related Educational_Development
Parental involvement in the Lake Ridge community is a challenge Many parents
do not have reliable transportation gas money or they feel uncomfortable because they
themselves were unsuccessful in school Parental involvement with the 21 st CCLC
Program will attack the parental involvement issue on two fronts Parent involvement
with students during the afterschool program and outside ofprogram hours (IAS 8)
Only parents of students enrolled in the 21st CCLC program will participate
Parent Engagement During Afterschool Hours These programs will engage
parents as they interact with their students Side-by-side events may include book
exchanges family game hours science experiments recreational sports and other fun and
educational activities that may be done by parents and students together These activities
will also serve to model for parents how they may help their students at home with
classwork (IAS 13) In addition sessions of a more serious nature may be offered for
parent and child that cover such issues as Internet safety violence prevention and how to
make positive life choices (IAS 13D) Parent classes will cover a variety of topics that
have been suggested on parent questionnaires and during discussions These classes may
include English for non-English speaking parents health and wellness parenting skills
technology recreational sports and literacy
ParentStudent Engagement Outside of Afterschool Hours These occasional
events may include students but will be held outside afterschool hours ( ex weekday
Page 129
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 21st CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
evenings Saturday etc) to accommodate the needs ofworking parents Only parents
who have students enrolled in the Lake Ridge 21st CCLC Program may participate
in these classesworkshops Classes might include literacy math crocheting Zumba
CPR music resume writing computer use and other topics that are requested by the
parents (IAS 15) When appropriate classes will be offered in both Spanish and English
Each school has a gymnasium large classrooms art and music rooms computer labs and
some have science labs so programs that are academic in nature as well as sports and
recreation may be offered The hoursdays of family services will not exceed that of the
student activities
Activities that are held outside of afterschool program time are opportunities to
promote schoolcommunity and family relationships These fun family events can be
educational for the entire family since there are many levels of learning that can be
experienced by family groups working on projects or just having fun together (IAS 9)
The Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC program will work with families and provide referral services
for other issues outside of its capabilities This plan to engage parents is comprehensive
and attainable because it is an extension of the regular school day as opposed to a standshy
alone activity and because it is based on parent requests
bull Offer classes for parents students and parent and student
bull Hold classes for parents at convenient times for working parents
bull Welcome parents daily into the afterschool program to participate with their students
bull Publicize parent opportunities well in advance of the events
bull Hold activities that reflect student and family interests ( communitystudent surveys)

Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
Evidence of Previous Success
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools has operated 21 st CCLC programs for eight years due to
the generous funding from the government From 2010-2014 the program was implemented at
Calumet New Tech High School and in 2015 Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School was added
to the program These after-school programs provide services to high-poverty students who
would otherwise have no safe place to go after school no help with homework or the opportunity
to take part in enrichment classes and in some cases little to eat The Lake Ridge afterschool
program provides all of that dinner homework help fun socialization and a ride home
While mentioning roadblocks may not be the best way to start describing the stellar
accomplishments of the Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC programs there are factors that must be considered
1 The rate of transiency for Lake Ridge Schools varies from 40-60 This means that
it is not easy to amass 2- and 3-year data for students who are here today and gone
tomorrow In fact it is difficult even to achieve RAP status for our students which
makes the fact that both the middle and high school programs have made their RAP
numbers each year even more remarkable There was a 50 gain in ISTEP passage
in the middle and high schools combined for 3-year RAPs
2 After-school programming in secondary schools is difficult due to student
participation in sports clubs etc
3 Parent participation is difficult due to lack of transportation and stability in the home
Calumet New Tech High School
2014-2015 All Short-Term Performance Measures (STPM) were met and exceeded projections
2015-2016 All STPM were met with the exception of graduation for which the projection was
90 and the actual was 89
Page 160
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
2016-2017 Two STPM fell slightly short ofprojection The other STPM exceeded projection by 6
RAP Status The attendance target for the last 3 years was 70 RAPs The actual number of
RAPs exceeded the target for all three years
The success of the high school program included College and Career Readiness activities
that included a speaker panel and multiple college tours to which parents were invited F AFSA
nights were held for students and their parents Opportunities for Service Learning were provided
by allowing high school students to lead middle school activities There were also well-attended
enrichment activities that included music dance theater archery and other sports Students
attended a STEM camp at the Duneland Nature Center and parents took part in Strengthening
Families and EL parent night After-school students also attended and served as student
ambassadors at the Indiana Youth Institute state conference All of this was in addition to the
intensive tutoring and homework help that was offered The ISTEP and ECA Boot Camps
were well attended
Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School
2014-2015 STPMs fell slightly short of the projections
2015-2016 STPMS fell slightly short of the projections
2016-2017 STPMs exceeded the projections by at least 50
The disparity ofSTPMprojection and actual was due to the district switchingfrom
Acuity to NWEA Accurate comparable data was not available
RAP Status The projected RAP number was 81 for the last three years The first year RAP
projection was met at 81 The second year the RAP count increased to 111 and the third
year was 91
Page 161
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 1 CCLC Grant Proposal 201 7
Middle School students and their parents attended college tours and heard guest speakers
on College and Career Readiness Enrichment activities included an award-winning
photography club archery foreign language Girls on the Run Camp Invention and a cooking
club A Jr Police Program which was led by a Lake County Sheriff Students attended a STEM
camp at the Duneland Nature Center The middle school held several programs and a Spring
Exhibition to showcase after-school student work to parents and the community Academic
programs included tutoring and homework help as well as ISTEP Jumpstart Lake Ridge New

Using disaggregated results from parent and student surveys the Advisory Council have
set the following parameters for the program
bull Courses aligned with Indiana Academic Standards must include literacy math and parts of School Improvement Plans as areas targeted for remediation
bull Enrichment maintenance and remediation needs of the students must be met bull Literacy and math based on the Indiana Academic Content Standards and the Lake
ridge curriculum maps will be the foundations for content offeringsactivities bull Technology and 21 st Century skills College and Career Readiness must be addressed bull Provisions for non-academic interests and skills (ie the arts etc) must be determined
by student interest bull Parent opportunities must be expanded not only for parent educational improvement
but also to foster parentchildschool relationships bull Behavioral and character education issues must be addressed bull The program must provide dinner and transportation home
The Advisory Council has many suggestions for meeting the above parameters The
Advisory Council will continue to meet with evaluator Dr Karen Venditti to review formative
data and make changes to the program as needed Students who are participating on the Council
will be rotated so that fresh anecdotal information is part of the evaluation process

B Evidence of Previous Success (Appendix pp 60-62)
C Design Requirements
1 Targeted Students and Their Families
In accordance with the requirements of GEPA 427 the following is a description of steps
to overcome barriers that may impede equitable access or participation in our program
All Lake Ridge middle and high school students participating in after-school services will
be afforded an opportunity to participate in the comprehensive program (Literacy Math
Career and College Readiness etc) regardless of gender race national origin color
disability or age All services offered will be tailored to individual needs with
accommodations as appropriate tutoring services (auditory component) Literacy and
Math Career and College Readiness activities (translation and developmentally
appropriate activitiesmaterials) transportation (handicapped accessible buses) Lake
Ridge Schools is a member of the Northwest Indiana Special Education Cooperative and
collaborates with them to provide appropriate services and accommodations
Furthermore since the plan includes families with limited English proficiency program
information will be distributed to such potential participants in their native language
Parent programs will have translation services when necessary
a See Attachment B page 2
b All students are targeted and will be recruited on the first day of school and during the
school year by flyers newsletters Lake Ridge website and by word-of-mouth
c Not applicable
d The Lake Ridge New Tech Schools serve a small urban region that straddles the
boundaries between the City of Gary and an unincorporated region known as Calumet
Page 125
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
Township The area is both economically and socially depressed Of the total Lake
Ridge student population of 1873 872 of the students are classified as freereduced
lunch and 359 of the population is living in poverty (State average is 141)
During SY 2016-2017 in Lake Ridge New Tech Schools there were 702 suspensions
and 22 expulsions 6 involving drugs andor firearms Currently there are 20 known
students on active probation in the district as per the Lake County Sheriffs Office
Clearly based on the above data Lake Ridge Schools has a critical need for an
afterschool community learning center Lake Ridge Schools is the hub of the
community and there is an urgent need for a place for the children to go after school
ISTEP+ scores are for the most part below the state average Without adequate
remediation and additional learning time students will be locked into an endless cycle of
catch up Currently 532 of students in the middle school and 65 of the high
school students read below grade level as per NWEA
2 Dissemination ofInformation
Parents of students from Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School Calumet New Tech High
School and Repairer of the Breach Ministries will receive information concerning
program logistics and student recruitment in a variety of ways including but not limited
to the following
bull Flyers will be sent home with students and mailed to parents of Lake Ridge and
Repairer of the Breach Ministries
bull Information will be available on the Lake Ridge website
bull Mass phone calls and text messages will be made on Alert Now
bull Information will be placed on school marquees
bull The local media will publish articles which praise the program
Page 126
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 215 CCLC Grant Proposal 20 I 7
bull A document similar to a college class brochure will list tutoring opportunities and
other classes that will be available after school This will be made available to
students and parents of students who participate in the program
bull Guidance counselors will confer with students who would benefit from the
afterschool program to urge them to take advantage of this opportunity
bull Behavior contracts that include attendance at the afterschool program will be written
by school counselors for students who have discipline andor attendance issues
bull Parents will be given information about afterschool programming at the district-wide
registration in the fall and at other school functions
3 Communication with Schools
a Equitable Service for Non-Public Schools
Students from Repairer of the Breach Ministries may take part in 21 st CCLC activities
(Attachment H p 9) During the Fall of2017 several in-person planning sessions and
telephone conversations took place with Lake Ridge administrators and Dr Mildred
Ewing Principal of Repairer of the Breach Ministries to plan for the attendance of her
students At present she has only one secondary student who might be interested in
attending the Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC program Dr Ewing is aware that academic
information for this student will be required to plan relevant sessions for him and to
evaluate his progress Dr Ewing agreed to be an active participant on the Lake Ridge
21 st CCLC Advisory Council
b Student Record Accessing
To differentiate instruction for students and to monitor progress instructional
personnel must have access to student data Student data reports will be generated by
the Lake Ridge RDS data management system and shared with instructors when
appropriate and with strict attention to privacy Permanent records may be accessed
Page 127
lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 1st CCLC Grant Proposal 201 7
by guidance personnel and the Progran1 Director Reports that will be used for
program evaluation will be generated using STN numbers rather than student names
Repairer of the Breach Ministries will provide student data to the Lake Ridge
Program Director for inclusion in state rep01is and to adjust the program
c Sharing Information on Students with Regular-day School Staffamp Families of
Participating Students and Community Stakeholders
Regular day staff will receive reports on student progress every nine weeks or more
frequently if the need ari ses Since the academic tutors are regular Lake Ridge
licensed teachers the reports may be informal or electronic The report may include
rates of progress and information on content so that the regular staff may coordinate
instruction with afterschool instruction Parents of students from Lake Ridge New
Tech Middle School Calumet New Tech High School and Repairer of the Breach
Ministries will receive information concerning the program and student recruitment in
a variety of ways as described on page 27 In addition every parent will receive a
21 st CCLC Parent Handbook which will include information about requirements for
academic achievement behavior and attendance There will also be program reports
that will be given to parents at regular parent programs Community members may
receive information on the Lake Ridge New Tech Schools website and from articles
in the Hammond Times and the Gay Post-Tribune
d Alignment ofIn-School and Out-of-School Time Efforts to Support Student Success
Lake Ridge Schools has an articulated K-1 2 curriculum which is based on Indiana
Academic Standards The K-1 2 curriculum may be found on the Lake Ridge home
page httpwww lakeridgekl2inus The afterschool program will be based on this
Page 128
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 21st CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
curriculum as well as the high school and middle school School Improvement Plans
which were derived from ISTEP+ PSAT NWEA and other local assessments
4 Programs that Promote Parental Involvement Family Literacy
and Related Educational_Development
Parental involvement in the Lake Ridge community is a challenge Many parents
do not have reliable transportation gas money or they feel uncomfortable because they
themselves were unsuccessful in school Parental involvement with the 21 st CCLC
Program will attack the parental involvement issue on two fronts Parent involvement
with students during the afterschool program and outside ofprogram hours (IAS 8)
Only parents of students enrolled in the 21st CCLC program will participate
Parent Engagement During Afterschool Hours These programs will engage
parents as they interact with their students Side-by-side events may include book
exchanges family game hours science experiments recreational sports and other fun and
educational activities that may be done by parents and students together These activities
will also serve to model for parents how they may help their students at home with
classwork (IAS 13) In addition sessions of a more serious nature may be offered for
parent and child that cover such issues as Internet safety violence prevention and how to
make positive life choices (IAS 13D) Parent classes will cover a variety of topics that
have been suggested on parent questionnaires and during discussions These classes may
include English for non-English speaking parents health and wellness parenting skills
technology recreational sports and literacy
ParentStudent Engagement Outside of Afterschool Hours These occasional
events may include students but will be held outside afterschool hours ( ex weekday
Page 129
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 21st CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
evenings Saturday etc) to accommodate the needs ofworking parents Only parents
who have students enrolled in the Lake Ridge 21st CCLC Program may participate
in these classesworkshops Classes might include literacy math crocheting Zumba
CPR music resume writing computer use and other topics that are requested by the
parents (IAS 15) When appropriate classes will be offered in both Spanish and English
Each school has a gymnasium large classrooms art and music rooms computer labs and
some have science labs so programs that are academic in nature as well as sports and
recreation may be offered The hoursdays of family services will not exceed that of the
student activities
Activities that are held outside of afterschool program time are opportunities to
promote schoolcommunity and family relationships These fun family events can be
educational for the entire family since there are many levels of learning that can be
experienced by family groups working on projects or just having fun together (IAS 9)
The Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC program will work with families and provide referral services
for other issues outside of its capabilities This plan to engage parents is comprehensive
and attainable because it is an extension of the regular school day as opposed to a standshy
alone activity and because it is based on parent requests
bull Offer classes for parents students and parent and student
bull Hold classes for parents at convenient times for working parents
bull Welcome parents daily into the afterschool program to participate with their students
bull Publicize parent opportunities well in advance of the events
bull Hold activities that reflect student and family interests ( communitystudent surveys)

VIII SUPPORT for STRATEGIC PRIORITIES
Lake Ridge Schools has an ar1iculated K-12 curriculum which is based on Indiana
Academic Standards The K-12 curriculum may be found on the Lake Ridge home page
httplakeridgek12inus The afterschool program will be based on this curriculum as well as
on the School Improvement Plans which were derived from ISTEP+ NWEA ECA and other
local assessments All Lake Ridge teachers have received professional development in the
Indiana Academic Standards and are active in developing the curriculum Using this curriculum
and data obtained from state and local assessments afterschool instructors will create learning
experiences for students in the afterschool program which is an extension of the school day
Page I 38
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
Literacy Math and College and Career Readiness will serve as the foundations for the
afterschool academic curricula at the middle and high schools and will be the primary vehicles
through which other skills and content areas are taught Both schools School Improvement
Plans which are on file with the IDOE focus on reading and math In addition College and
Career Readiness will include career exploration 21 st Century skills and diversity
IX SUSTAINABILITY PLAN
The partnerships listed in Section IV will continue after the four-year grant period ends
Instruction will be done by partners volunteers high school students who are working for Service
Learning credits and instructors paid by the district and other grants Other grants such as Titles I
IIA III and IV will provide additional funding for professional development parent involvement
and student remediation It is vital to the success of Lake Ridge New Tech students that there is
an all-out effort to recruit and retain partners for the 21 st CCLC program Although most of the
partners listed in the grant will provide in-kind matches additional funds will be necessary to
maintain the program after the grant period Some personnel costs will be absorbed by Lake
Ridge Lake Ridge New Tech Schools is not in a position from which it can approach improved
student achievement lightly and will do whatever it takes to sustain this program

Evidence of Previous Success
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools has operated 21 st CCLC programs for eight years due to
the generous funding from the government From 2010-2014 the program was implemented at
Calumet New Tech High School and in 2015 Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School was added
to the program These after-school programs provide services to high-poverty students who
would otherwise have no safe place to go after school no help with homework or the opportunity
to take part in enrichment classes and in some cases little to eat The Lake Ridge afterschool
program provides all of that dinner homework help fun socialization and a ride home
While mentioning roadblocks may not be the best way to start describing the stellar
accomplishments of the Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC programs there are factors that must be considered
1 The rate of transiency for Lake Ridge Schools varies from 40-60 This means that
it is not easy to amass 2- and 3-year data for students who are here today and gone
tomorrow In fact it is difficult even to achieve RAP status for our students which
makes the fact that both the middle and high school programs have made their RAP
numbers each year even more remarkable There was a 50 gain in ISTEP passage
in the middle and high schools combined for 3-year RAPs
2 After-school programming in secondary schools is difficult due to student
participation in sports clubs etc
3 Parent participation is difficult due to lack of transportation and stability in the home
Calumet New Tech High School
2014-2015 All Short-Term Performance Measures (STPM) were met and exceeded projections
2015-2016 All STPM were met with the exception of graduation for which the projection was
90 and the actual was 89
Page 160
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
2016-2017 Two STPM fell slightly short ofprojection The other STPM exceeded projection by 6
RAP Status The attendance target for the last 3 years was 70 RAPs The actual number of
RAPs exceeded the target for all three years
The success of the high school program included College and Career Readiness activities
that included a speaker panel and multiple college tours to which parents were invited F AFSA
nights were held for students and their parents Opportunities for Service Learning were provided
by allowing high school students to lead middle school activities There were also well-attended
enrichment activities that included music dance theater archery and other sports Students
attended a STEM camp at the Duneland Nature Center and parents took part in Strengthening
Families and EL parent night After-school students also attended and served as student
ambassadors at the Indiana Youth Institute state conference All of this was in addition to the
intensive tutoring and homework help that was offered The ISTEP and ECA Boot Camps
were well attended
Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School
2014-2015 STPMs fell slightly short of the projections
2015-2016 STPMS fell slightly short of the projections
2016-2017 STPMs exceeded the projections by at least 50
The disparity ofSTPMprojection and actual was due to the district switchingfrom
Acuity to NWEA Accurate comparable data was not available
RAP Status The projected RAP number was 81 for the last three years The first year RAP
projection was met at 81 The second year the RAP count increased to 111 and the third
year was 91

Middle School students and their parents attended college tours and heard guest speakers
on College and Career Readiness Enrichment activities included an award-winning
photography club archery foreign language Girls on the Run Camp Invention and a cooking
club A Jr Police Program which was led by a Lake County Sheriff Students attended a STEM
camp at the Duneland Nature Center The middle school held several programs and a Spring
Exhibition to showcase after-school student work to parents and the community Academic

B Evidence of Previous Success (Appendix pp 60-62)
C Design Requirements
1 Targeted Students and Their Families
In accordance with the requirements of GEPA 427 the following is a description of steps
to overcome barriers that may impede equitable access or participation in our program
All Lake Ridge middle and high school students participating in after-school services will
be afforded an opportunity to participate in the comprehensive program (Literacy Math
Career and College Readiness etc) regardless of gender race national origin color
disability or age All services offered will be tailored to individual needs with
accommodations as appropriate tutoring services (auditory component) Literacy and
Math Career and College Readiness activities (translation and developmentally
appropriate activitiesmaterials) transportation (handicapped accessible buses) Lake
Ridge Schools is a member of the Northwest Indiana Special Education Cooperative and
collaborates with them to provide appropriate services and accommodations
Furthermore since the plan includes families with limited English proficiency program
information will be distributed to such potential participants in their native language
Parent programs will have translation services when necessary
a See Attachment B page 2
b All students are targeted and will be recruited on the first day of school and during the
school year by flyers newsletters Lake Ridge website and by word-of-mouth
c Not applicable
d The Lake Ridge New Tech Schools serve a small urban region that straddles the
boundaries between the City of Gary and an unincorporated region known as Calumet
Page 125
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
Township The area is both economically and socially depressed Of the total Lake
Ridge student population of 1873 872 of the students are classified as freereduced
lunch and 359 of the population is living in poverty (State average is 141)
During SY 2016-2017 in Lake Ridge New Tech Schools there were 702 suspensions
and 22 expulsions 6 involving drugs andor firearms Currently there are 20 known
students on active probation in the district as per the Lake County Sheriffs Office
Clearly based on the above data Lake Ridge Schools has a critical need for an
afterschool community learning center Lake Ridge Schools is the hub of the
community and there is an urgent need for a place for the children to go after school
ISTEP+ scores are for the most part below the state average Without adequate
remediation and additional learning time students will be locked into an endless cycle of
catch up Currently 532 of students in the middle school and 65 of the high
school students read below grade level as per NWEA
2 Dissemination ofInformation
Parents of students from Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School Calumet New Tech High
School and Repairer of the Breach Ministries will receive information concerning
program logistics and student recruitment in a variety of ways including but not limited
to the following
bull Flyers will be sent home with students and mailed to parents of Lake Ridge and
Repairer of the Breach Ministries
bull Information will be available on the Lake Ridge website
bull Mass phone calls and text messages will be made on Alert Now
bull Information will be placed on school marquees
bull The local media will publish articles which praise the program
Page 126
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 215 CCLC Grant Proposal 20 I 7
bull A document similar to a college class brochure will list tutoring opportunities and
other classes that will be available after school This will be made available to
students and parents of students who participate in the program
bull Guidance counselors will confer with students who would benefit from the
afterschool program to urge them to take advantage of this opportunity
bull Behavior contracts that include attendance at the afterschool program will be written
by school counselors for students who have discipline andor attendance issues
bull Parents will be given information about afterschool programming at the district-wide
registration in the fall and at other school functions
3 Communication with Schools
a Equitable Service for Non-Public Schools
Students from Repairer of the Breach Ministries may take part in 21 st CCLC activities
(Attachment H p 9) During the Fall of2017 several in-person planning sessions and
telephone conversations took place with Lake Ridge administrators and Dr Mildred
Ewing Principal of Repairer of the Breach Ministries to plan for the attendance of her
students At present she has only one secondary student who might be interested in
attending the Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC program Dr Ewing is aware that academic
information for this student will be required to plan relevant sessions for him and to
evaluate his progress Dr Ewing agreed to be an active participant on the Lake Ridge
21 st CCLC Advisory Council
b Student Record Accessing
To differentiate instruction for students and to monitor progress instructional
personnel must have access to student data Student data reports will be generated by
the Lake Ridge RDS data management system and shared with instructors when
appropriate and with strict attention to privacy Permanent records may be accessed
Page 127
lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 1st CCLC Grant Proposal 201 7
by guidance personnel and the Progran1 Director Reports that will be used for
program evaluation will be generated using STN numbers rather than student names
Repairer of the Breach Ministries will provide student data to the Lake Ridge
Program Director for inclusion in state rep01is and to adjust the program
c Sharing Information on Students with Regular-day School Staffamp Families of
Participating Students and Community Stakeholders
Regular day staff will receive reports on student progress every nine weeks or more
frequently if the need ari ses Since the academic tutors are regular Lake Ridge
licensed teachers the reports may be informal or electronic The report may include
rates of progress and information on content so that the regular staff may coordinate
instruction with afterschool instruction Parents of students from Lake Ridge New
Tech Middle School Calumet New Tech High School and Repairer of the Breach
Ministries will receive information concerning the program and student recruitment in
a variety of ways as described on page 27 In addition every parent will receive a
21 st CCLC Parent Handbook which will include information about requirements for
academic achievement behavior and attendance There will also be program reports
that will be given to parents at regular parent programs Community members may
receive information on the Lake Ridge New Tech Schools website and from articles
in the Hammond Times and the Gay Post-Tribune
d Alignment ofIn-School and Out-of-School Time Efforts to Support Student Success
Lake Ridge Schools has an articulated K-1 2 curriculum which is based on Indiana
Academic Standards The K-1 2 curriculum may be found on the Lake Ridge home
page httpwww lakeridgekl2inus The afterschool program will be based on this
Page 128
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 21st CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
curriculum as well as the high school and middle school School Improvement Plans
which were derived from ISTEP+ PSAT NWEA and other local assessments
4 Programs that Promote Parental Involvement Family Literacy
and Related Educational_Development
Parental involvement in the Lake Ridge community is a challenge Many parents
do not have reliable transportation gas money or they feel uncomfortable because they
themselves were unsuccessful in school Parental involvement with the 21 st CCLC
Program will attack the parental involvement issue on two fronts Parent involvement
with students during the afterschool program and outside ofprogram hours (IAS 8)
Only parents of students enrolled in the 21st CCLC program will participate
Parent Engagement During Afterschool Hours These programs will engage
parents as they interact with their students Side-by-side events may include book
exchanges family game hours science experiments recreational sports and other fun and
educational activities that may be done by parents and students together These activities
will also serve to model for parents how they may help their students at home with
classwork (IAS 13) In addition sessions of a more serious nature may be offered for
parent and child that cover such issues as Internet safety violence prevention and how to
make positive life choices (IAS 13D) Parent classes will cover a variety of topics that
have been suggested on parent questionnaires and during discussions These classes may
include English for non-English speaking parents health and wellness parenting skills
technology recreational sports and literacy
ParentStudent Engagement Outside of Afterschool Hours These occasional
events may include students but will be held outside afterschool hours ( ex weekday
Page 129
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 21st CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
evenings Saturday etc) to accommodate the needs ofworking parents Only parents
who have students enrolled in the Lake Ridge 21st CCLC Program may participate
in these classesworkshops Classes might include literacy math crocheting Zumba
CPR music resume writing computer use and other topics that are requested by the
parents (IAS 15) When appropriate classes will be offered in both Spanish and English
Each school has a gymnasium large classrooms art and music rooms computer labs and
some have science labs so programs that are academic in nature as well as sports and
recreation may be offered The hoursdays of family services will not exceed that of the
student activities
Activities that are held outside of afterschool program time are opportunities to
promote schoolcommunity and family relationships These fun family events can be
educational for the entire family since there are many levels of learning that can be
experienced by family groups working on projects or just having fun together (IAS 9)
The Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC program will work with families and provide referral services
for other issues outside of its capabilities This plan to engage parents is comprehensive
and attainable because it is an extension of the regular school day as opposed to a standshy
alone activity and because it is based on parent requests
bull Offer classes for parents students and parent and student
bull Hold classes for parents at convenient times for working parents

Indiana Academic Standards and are active in developing the curriculum Using this curriculum
and data obtained from state and local assessments afterschool instructors will create learning
experiences for students in the afterschool program which is an extension of the school day
Page I 38
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017

Career Readiness will include career exploration 21 st Century skills and diversity
IX SUSTAINABILITY PLAN
The partnerships listed in Section IV will continue after the four-year grant period ends
Instruction will be done by partners volunteers high school students who are working for Service
Learning credits and instructors paid by the district and other grants Other grants such as Titles I
IIA III and IV will provide additional funding for professional development parent involvement
and student remediation It is vital to the success of Lake Ridge New Tech students that there is
an all-out effort to recruit and retain partners for the 21 st CCLC program Although most of the
partners listed in the grant will provide in-kind matches additional funds will be necessary to
maintain the program after the grant period Some personnel costs will be absorbed by Lake

Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
Evidence of Previous Success
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools has operated 21 st CCLC programs for eight years due to
the generous funding from the government From 2010-2014 the program was implemented at
Calumet New Tech High School and in 2015 Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School was added
to the program These after-school programs provide services to high-poverty students who
would otherwise have no safe place to go after school no help with homework or the opportunity
to take part in enrichment classes and in some cases little to eat The Lake Ridge afterschool
program provides all of that dinner homework help fun socialization and a ride home
While mentioning roadblocks may not be the best way to start describing the stellar
accomplishments of the Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC programs there are factors that must be considered
1 The rate of transiency for Lake Ridge Schools varies from 40-60 This means that
it is not easy to amass 2- and 3-year data for students who are here today and gone
tomorrow In fact it is difficult even to achieve RAP status for our students which
makes the fact that both the middle and high school programs have made their RAP
numbers each year even more remarkable There was a 50 gain in ISTEP passage
in the middle and high schools combined for 3-year RAPs
2 After-school programming in secondary schools is difficult due to student
participation in sports clubs etc
3 Parent participation is difficult due to lack of transportation and stability in the home
Calumet New Tech High School
2014-2015 All Short-Term Performance Measures (STPM) were met and exceeded projections
2015-2016 All STPM were met with the exception of graduation for which the projection was
90 and the actual was 89
Page 160
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
2016-2017 Two STPM fell slightly short ofprojection The other STPM exceeded projection by 6
RAP Status The attendance target for the last 3 years was 70 RAPs The actual number of
RAPs exceeded the target for all three years
The success of the high school program included College and Career Readiness activities
that included a speaker panel and multiple college tours to which parents were invited F AFSA
nights were held for students and their parents Opportunities for Service Learning were provided
by allowing high school students to lead middle school activities There were also well-attended
enrichment activities that included music dance theater archery and other sports Students
attended a STEM camp at the Duneland Nature Center and parents took part in Strengthening
Families and EL parent night After-school students also attended and served as student
ambassadors at the Indiana Youth Institute state conference All of this was in addition to the
intensive tutoring and homework help that was offered The ISTEP and ECA Boot Camps
were well attended
Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School
2014-2015 STPMs fell slightly short of the projections
2015-2016 STPMS fell slightly short of the projections
2016-2017 STPMs exceeded the projections by at least 50
The disparity ofSTPMprojection and actual was due to the district switchingfrom
Acuity to NWEA Accurate comparable data was not available
RAP Status The projected RAP number was 81 for the last three years The first year RAP
projection was met at 81 The second year the RAP count increased to 111 and the third
year was 91

Middle School students and their parents attended college tours and heard guest speakers

camp at the Duneland Nature Center The middle school held several programs and a Spring
Exhibition to showcase after-school student work to parents and the community Academic

B Evidence of Previous Success (Appendix pp 60-62)
C Design Requirements
1 Targeted Students and Their Families
In accordance with the requirements of GEPA 427 the following is a description of steps
to overcome barriers that may impede equitable access or participation in our program
All Lake Ridge middle and high school students participating in after-school services will
be afforded an opportunity to participate in the comprehensive program (Literacy Math
Career and College Readiness etc) regardless of gender race national origin color
disability or age All services offered will be tailored to individual needs with
accommodations as appropriate tutoring services (auditory component) Literacy and
Math Career and College Readiness activities (translation and developmentally
appropriate activitiesmaterials) transportation (handicapped accessible buses) Lake
Ridge Schools is a member of the Northwest Indiana Special Education Cooperative and
collaborates with them to provide appropriate services and accommodations
Furthermore since the plan includes families with limited English proficiency program
information will be distributed to such potential participants in their native language
Parent programs will have translation services when necessary
a See Attachment B page 2
b All students are targeted and will be recruited on the first day of school and during the
school year by flyers newsletters Lake Ridge website and by word-of-mouth
c Not applicable
d The Lake Ridge New Tech Schools serve a small urban region that straddles the
boundaries between the City of Gary and an unincorporated region known as Calumet
Page 125
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
Township The area is both economically and socially depressed Of the total Lake
Ridge student population of 1873 872 of the students are classified as freereduced
lunch and 359 of the population is living in poverty (State average is 141)
During SY 2016-2017 in Lake Ridge New Tech Schools there were 702 suspensions
and 22 expulsions 6 involving drugs andor firearms Currently there are 20 known
students on active probation in the district as per the Lake County Sheriffs Office
Clearly based on the above data Lake Ridge Schools has a critical need for an
afterschool community learning center Lake Ridge Schools is the hub of the
community and there is an urgent need for a place for the children to go after school
ISTEP+ scores are for the most part below the state average Without adequate
remediation and additional learning time students will be locked into an endless cycle of
catch up Currently 532 of students in the middle school and 65 of the high
school students read below grade level as per NWEA
2 Dissemination ofInformation
Parents of students from Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School Calumet New Tech High
School and Repairer of the Breach Ministries will receive information concerning
program logistics and student recruitment in a variety of ways including but not limited
to the following
bull Flyers will be sent home with students and mailed to parents of Lake Ridge and
Repairer of the Breach Ministries
bull Information will be available on the Lake Ridge website
bull Mass phone calls and text messages will be made on Alert Now
bull Information will be placed on school marquees
bull The local media will publish articles which praise the program
Page 126
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 215 CCLC Grant Proposal 20 I 7
bull A document similar to a college class brochure will list tutoring opportunities and
other classes that will be available after school This will be made available to
students and parents of students who participate in the program
bull Guidance counselors will confer with students who would benefit from the
afterschool program to urge them to take advantage of this opportunity
bull Behavior contracts that include attendance at the afterschool program will be written
by school counselors for students who have discipline andor attendance issues
bull Parents will be given information about afterschool programming at the district-wide
registration in the fall and at other school functions
3 Communication with Schools
a Equitable Service for Non-Public Schools
Students from Repairer of the Breach Ministries may take part in 21 st CCLC activities
(Attachment H p 9) During the Fall of2017 several in-person planning sessions and
telephone conversations took place with Lake Ridge administrators and Dr Mildred
Ewing Principal of Repairer of the Breach Ministries to plan for the attendance of her
students At present she has only one secondary student who might be interested in
attending the Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC program Dr Ewing is aware that academic
information for this student will be required to plan relevant sessions for him and to
evaluate his progress Dr Ewing agreed to be an active participant on the Lake Ridge
21 st CCLC Advisory Council
b Student Record Accessing
To differentiate instruction for students and to monitor progress instructional
personnel must have access to student data Student data reports will be generated by
the Lake Ridge RDS data management system and shared with instructors when
appropriate and with strict attention to privacy Permanent records may be accessed
Page 127
lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 1st CCLC Grant Proposal 201 7
by guidance personnel and the Progran1 Director Reports that will be used for
program evaluation will be generated using STN numbers rather than student names
Repairer of the Breach Ministries will provide student data to the Lake Ridge
Program Director for inclusion in state rep01is and to adjust the program
c Sharing Information on Students with Regular-day School Staffamp Families of
Participating Students and Community Stakeholders
Regular day staff will receive reports on student progress every nine weeks or more
frequently if the need ari ses Since the academic tutors are regular Lake Ridge
licensed teachers the reports may be informal or electronic The report may include
rates of progress and information on content so that the regular staff may coordinate
instruction with afterschool instruction Parents of students from Lake Ridge New
Tech Middle School Calumet New Tech High School and Repairer of the Breach
Ministries will receive information concerning the program and student recruitment in
a variety of ways as described on page 27 In addition every parent will receive a
21 st CCLC Parent Handbook which will include information about requirements for
academic achievement behavior and attendance There will also be program reports
that will be given to parents at regular parent programs Community members may
receive information on the Lake Ridge New Tech Schools website and from articles
in the Hammond Times and the Gay Post-Tribune
d Alignment ofIn-School and Out-of-School Time Efforts to Support Student Success
Lake Ridge Schools has an articulated K-1 2 curriculum which is based on Indiana
Academic Standards The K-1 2 curriculum may be found on the Lake Ridge home
page httpwww lakeridgekl2inus The afterschool program will be based on this
Page 128
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 21st CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
curriculum as well as the high school and middle school School Improvement Plans
which were derived from ISTEP+ PSAT NWEA and other local assessments
4 Programs that Promote Parental Involvement Family Literacy
and Related Educational_Development
Parental involvement in the Lake Ridge community is a challenge Many parents
do not have reliable transportation gas money or they feel uncomfortable because they
themselves were unsuccessful in school Parental involvement with the 21 st CCLC
Program will attack the parental involvement issue on two fronts Parent involvement
with students during the afterschool program and outside ofprogram hours (IAS 8)
Only parents of students enrolled in the 21st CCLC program will participate
Parent Engagement During Afterschool Hours These programs will engage
parents as they interact with their students Side-by-side events may include book
exchanges family game hours science experiments recreational sports and other fun and
educational activities that may be done by parents and students together These activities
will also serve to model for parents how they may help their students at home with
classwork (IAS 13) In addition sessions of a more serious nature may be offered for
parent and child that cover such issues as Internet safety violence prevention and how to
make positive life choices (IAS 13D) Parent classes will cover a variety of topics that
have been suggested on parent questionnaires and during discussions These classes may
include English for non-English speaking parents health and wellness parenting skills
technology recreational sports and literacy
ParentStudent Engagement Outside of Afterschool Hours These occasional
events may include students but will be held outside afterschool hours ( ex weekday
Page 129
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 21st CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
evenings Saturday etc) to accommodate the needs ofworking parents Only parents
who have students enrolled in the Lake Ridge 21st CCLC Program may participate
in these classesworkshops Classes might include literacy math crocheting Zumba
CPR music resume writing computer use and other topics that are requested by the
parents (IAS 15) When appropriate classes will be offered in both Spanish and English
Each school has a gymnasium large classrooms art and music rooms computer labs and
some have science labs so programs that are academic in nature as well as sports and
recreation may be offered The hoursdays of family services will not exceed that of the
student activities
Activities that are held outside of afterschool program time are opportunities to
promote schoolcommunity and family relationships These fun family events can be
educational for the entire family since there are many levels of learning that can be
experienced by family groups working on projects or just having fun together (IAS 9)
The Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC program will work with families and provide referral services
for other issues outside of its capabilities This plan to engage parents is comprehensive
and attainable because it is an extension of the regular school day as opposed to a standshy
alone activity and because it is based on parent requests
bull Offer classes for parents students and parent and student
bull Hold classes for parents at convenient times for working parents
bull Welcome parents daily into the afterschool program to participate with their students
bull Publicize parent opportunities well in advance of the events
bull Hold activities that reflect student and family interests ( communitystudent surveys)

VII EVALUATION
A Evaluation Plan
Dr Karen Venditti the current 21st CCLC evaluator will be contracted to continue the
evaluate the programs at the middle and high schools Dr Venditti was a literacy professor at St
Joseph College in Rensselaer IN and an experienced 21 st CCLC evaluator She also will provide
an in-kind service by meeting with the Advisory Council to look at data and formative
assessments to make changes in programming She will lead the summative assessment meeting
for the Advisory Council at the end of the four-year program
B Annual Reporting

year grant period The external evaluator will compile the data to determine if the benchmarks
have been met yearly and at the end of the four years Her findings will be sent to IDOE in the
annual and final reports
C Use ofResultsfor Program Improvement
The use of evaluation and assessment as well as the use of available resources aligns
with the Indiana Afterschool Standards because it establishes connection with schools and

VIII SUPPORT for STRATEGIC PRIORITIES
Lake Ridge Schools has an ar1iculated K-12 curriculum which is based on Indiana
Academic Standards The K-12 curriculum may be found on the Lake Ridge home page
httplakeridgek12inus The afterschool program will be based on this curriculum as well as
on the School Improvement Plans which were derived from ISTEP+ NWEA ECA and other
local assessments All Lake Ridge teachers have received professional development in the
Indiana Academic Standards and are active in developing the curriculum Using this curriculum
and data obtained from state and local assessments afterschool instructors will create learning
experiences for students in the afterschool program which is an extension of the school day
Page I 38
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
Literacy Math and College and Career Readiness will serve as the foundations for the
afterschool academic curricula at the middle and high schools and will be the primary vehicles
through which other skills and content areas are taught Both schools School Improvement
Plans which are on file with the IDOE focus on reading and math In addition College and
Career Readiness will include career exploration 21 st Century skills and diversity
IX SUSTAINABILITY PLAN
The partnerships listed in Section IV will continue after the four-year grant period ends
Instruction will be done by partners volunteers high school students who are working for Service
Learning credits and instructors paid by the district and other grants Other grants such as Titles I
IIA III and IV will provide additional funding for professional development parent involvement
and student remediation It is vital to the success of Lake Ridge New Tech students that there is
an all-out effort to recruit and retain partners for the 21 st CCLC program Although most of the
partners listed in the grant will provide in-kind matches additional funds will be necessary to
maintain the program after the grant period Some personnel costs will be absorbed by Lake
Ridge Lake Ridge New Tech Schools is not in a position from which it can approach improved
student achievement lightly and will do whatever it takes to sustain this program

have multiple trained safety specialists Emergency plans are kept current posted and staff
routinely reviews safety procedures All afterschool staff have on their cell phones an app called
REM4 which has the district safety plan and procedures contacts and an instant notification for
first responders All buildings are equipped with cameras and doors are locked Visitors must be
buzzed in and immediately report to the office The SRO will be available to afterschool
personnel in the event an emergency arises

Evidence of Previous Success
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools has operated 21 st CCLC programs for eight years due to
the generous funding from the government From 2010-2014 the program was implemented at
Calumet New Tech High School and in 2015 Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School was added
to the program These after-school programs provide services to high-poverty students who
would otherwise have no safe place to go after school no help with homework or the opportunity
to take part in enrichment classes and in some cases little to eat The Lake Ridge afterschool
program provides all of that dinner homework help fun socialization and a ride home
While mentioning roadblocks may not be the best way to start describing the stellar
accomplishments of the Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC programs there are factors that must be considered
1 The rate of transiency for Lake Ridge Schools varies from 40-60 This means that
it is not easy to amass 2- and 3-year data for students who are here today and gone
tomorrow In fact it is difficult even to achieve RAP status for our students which
makes the fact that both the middle and high school programs have made their RAP
numbers each year even more remarkable There was a 50 gain in ISTEP passage
in the middle and high schools combined for 3-year RAPs
2 After-school programming in secondary schools is difficult due to student
participation in sports clubs etc
3 Parent participation is difficult due to lack of transportation and stability in the home
Calumet New Tech High School
2014-2015 All Short-Term Performance Measures (STPM) were met and exceeded projections
2015-2016 All STPM were met with the exception of graduation for which the projection was
90 and the actual was 89
Page 160
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
2016-2017 Two STPM fell slightly short ofprojection The other STPM exceeded projection by 6
RAP Status The attendance target for the last 3 years was 70 RAPs The actual number of
RAPs exceeded the target for all three years
The success of the high school program included College and Career Readiness activities
that included a speaker panel and multiple college tours to which parents were invited F AFSA
nights were held for students and their parents Opportunities for Service Learning were provided
by allowing high school students to lead middle school activities There were also well-attended
enrichment activities that included music dance theater archery and other sports Students
attended a STEM camp at the Duneland Nature Center and parents took part in Strengthening
Families and EL parent night After-school students also attended and served as student
ambassadors at the Indiana Youth Institute state conference All of this was in addition to the
intensive tutoring and homework help that was offered The ISTEP and ECA Boot Camps
were well attended
Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School
2014-2015 STPMs fell slightly short of the projections
2015-2016 STPMS fell slightly short of the projections
2016-2017 STPMs exceeded the projections by at least 50
The disparity ofSTPMprojection and actual was due to the district switchingfrom
Acuity to NWEA Accurate comparable data was not available
RAP Status The projected RAP number was 81 for the last three years The first year RAP
projection was met at 81 The second year the RAP count increased to 111 and the third
year was 91
Page 161
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 1 CCLC Grant Proposal 201 7
Middle School students and their parents attended college tours and heard guest speakers
on College and Career Readiness Enrichment activities included an award-winning
photography club archery foreign language Girls on the Run Camp Invention and a cooking
club A Jr Police Program which was led by a Lake County Sheriff Students attended a STEM
camp at the Duneland Nature Center The middle school held several programs and a Spring
Exhibition to showcase after-school student work to parents and the community Academic
programs included tutoring and homework help as well as ISTEP Jumpstart Lake Ridge New
Tech Middle School s 2I51 CCLC after-school program was recognized by the IDOE

B Evidence of Previous Success (Appendix pp 60-62)
C Design Requirements
1 Targeted Students and Their Families
In accordance with the requirements of GEPA 427 the following is a description of steps
to overcome barriers that may impede equitable access or participation in our program
All Lake Ridge middle and high school students participating in after-school services will
be afforded an opportunity to participate in the comprehensive program (Literacy Math
Career and College Readiness etc) regardless of gender race national origin color
disability or age All services offered will be tailored to individual needs with
accommodations as appropriate tutoring services (auditory component) Literacy and
Math Career and College Readiness activities (translation and developmentally
appropriate activitiesmaterials) transportation (handicapped accessible buses) Lake
Ridge Schools is a member of the Northwest Indiana Special Education Cooperative and
collaborates with them to provide appropriate services and accommodations
Furthermore since the plan includes families with limited English proficiency program
information will be distributed to such potential participants in their native language
Parent programs will have translation services when necessary
a See Attachment B page 2
b All students are targeted and will be recruited on the first day of school and during the
school year by flyers newsletters Lake Ridge website and by word-of-mouth
c Not applicable
d The Lake Ridge New Tech Schools serve a small urban region that straddles the
boundaries between the City of Gary and an unincorporated region known as Calumet
Page 125
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
Township The area is both economically and socially depressed Of the total Lake
Ridge student population of 1873 872 of the students are classified as freereduced
lunch and 359 of the population is living in poverty (State average is 141)
During SY 2016-2017 in Lake Ridge New Tech Schools there were 702 suspensions
and 22 expulsions 6 involving drugs andor firearms Currently there are 20 known
students on active probation in the district as per the Lake County Sheriffs Office
Clearly based on the above data Lake Ridge Schools has a critical need for an
afterschool community learning center Lake Ridge Schools is the hub of the
community and there is an urgent need for a place for the children to go after school
ISTEP+ scores are for the most part below the state average Without adequate
remediation and additional learning time students will be locked into an endless cycle of
catch up Currently 532 of students in the middle school and 65 of the high
school students read below grade level as per NWEA
2 Dissemination ofInformation
Parents of students from Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School Calumet New Tech High
School and Repairer of the Breach Ministries will receive information concerning
program logistics and student recruitment in a variety of ways including but not limited
to the following
bull Flyers will be sent home with students and mailed to parents of Lake Ridge and
Repairer of the Breach Ministries
bull Information will be available on the Lake Ridge website
bull Mass phone calls and text messages will be made on Alert Now
bull Information will be placed on school marquees
bull The local media will publish articles which praise the program
Page 126
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 215 CCLC Grant Proposal 20 I 7
bull A document similar to a college class brochure will list tutoring opportunities and
other classes that will be available after school This will be made available to
students and parents of students who participate in the program
bull Guidance counselors will confer with students who would benefit from the
afterschool program to urge them to take advantage of this opportunity
bull Behavior contracts that include attendance at the afterschool program will be written
by school counselors for students who have discipline andor attendance issues
bull Parents will be given information about afterschool programming at the district-wide
registration in the fall and at other school functions
3 Communication with Schools
a Equitable Service for Non-Public Schools
Students from Repairer of the Breach Ministries may take part in 21 st CCLC activities
(Attachment H p 9) During the Fall of2017 several in-person planning sessions and
telephone conversations took place with Lake Ridge administrators and Dr Mildred
Ewing Principal of Repairer of the Breach Ministries to plan for the attendance of her
students At present she has only one secondary student who might be interested in
attending the Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC program Dr Ewing is aware that academic
information for this student will be required to plan relevant sessions for him and to
evaluate his progress Dr Ewing agreed to be an active participant on the Lake Ridge
21 st CCLC Advisory Council
b Student Record Accessing
To differentiate instruction for students and to monitor progress instructional
personnel must have access to student data Student data reports will be generated by
the Lake Ridge RDS data management system and shared with instructors when
appropriate and with strict attention to privacy Permanent records may be accessed
Page 127
lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 1st CCLC Grant Proposal 201 7
by guidance personnel and the Progran1 Director Reports that will be used for
program evaluation will be generated using STN numbers rather than student names
Repairer of the Breach Ministries will provide student data to the Lake Ridge
Program Director for inclusion in state rep01is and to adjust the program
c Sharing Information on Students with Regular-day School Staffamp Families of
Participating Students and Community Stakeholders
Regular day staff will receive reports on student progress every nine weeks or more
frequently if the need ari ses Since the academic tutors are regular Lake Ridge
licensed teachers the reports may be informal or electronic The report may include
rates of progress and information on content so that the regular staff may coordinate
instruction with afterschool instruction Parents of students from Lake Ridge New
Tech Middle School Calumet New Tech High School and Repairer of the Breach
Ministries will receive information concerning the program and student recruitment in
a variety of ways as described on page 27 In addition every parent will receive a
21 st CCLC Parent Handbook which will include information about requirements for
academic achievement behavior and attendance There will also be program reports
that will be given to parents at regular parent programs Community members may
receive information on the Lake Ridge New Tech Schools website and from articles
in the Hammond Times and the Gay Post-Tribune
d Alignment ofIn-School and Out-of-School Time Efforts to Support Student Success
Lake Ridge Schools has an articulated K-1 2 curriculum which is based on Indiana
Academic Standards The K-1 2 curriculum may be found on the Lake Ridge home
page httpwww lakeridgekl2inus The afterschool program will be based on this
Page 128
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 21st CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
curriculum as well as the high school and middle school School Improvement Plans
which were derived from ISTEP+ PSAT NWEA and other local assessments
4 Programs that Promote Parental Involvement Family Literacy
and Related Educational_Development
Parental involvement in the Lake Ridge community is a challenge Many parents
do not have reliable transportation gas money or they feel uncomfortable because they
themselves were unsuccessful in school Parental involvement with the 21 st CCLC
Program will attack the parental involvement issue on two fronts Parent involvement
with students during the afterschool program and outside ofprogram hours (IAS 8)
Only parents of students enrolled in the 21st CCLC program will participate
Parent Engagement During Afterschool Hours These programs will engage
parents as they interact with their students Side-by-side events may include book
exchanges family game hours science experiments recreational sports and other fun and
educational activities that may be done by parents and students together These activities
will also serve to model for parents how they may help their students at home with
classwork (IAS 13) In addition sessions of a more serious nature may be offered for
parent and child that cover such issues as Internet safety violence prevention and how to
make positive life choices (IAS 13D) Parent classes will cover a variety of topics that
have been suggested on parent questionnaires and during discussions These classes may
include English for non-English speaking parents health and wellness parenting skills
technology recreational sports and literacy
ParentStudent Engagement Outside of Afterschool Hours These occasional
events may include students but will be held outside afterschool hours ( ex weekday
Page 129
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 21st CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
evenings Saturday etc) to accommodate the needs ofworking parents Only parents
who have students enrolled in the Lake Ridge 21st CCLC Program may participate
in these classesworkshops Classes might include literacy math crocheting Zumba
CPR music resume writing computer use and other topics that are requested by the
parents (IAS 15) When appropriate classes will be offered in both Spanish and English
Each school has a gymnasium large classrooms art and music rooms computer labs and
some have science labs so programs that are academic in nature as well as sports and
recreation may be offered The hoursdays of family services will not exceed that of the
student activities
Activities that are held outside of afterschool program time are opportunities to
promote schoolcommunity and family relationships These fun family events can be
educational for the entire family since there are many levels of learning that can be
experienced by family groups working on projects or just having fun together (IAS 9)
The Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC program will work with families and provide referral services
for other issues outside of its capabilities This plan to engage parents is comprehensive
and attainable because it is an extension of the regular school day as opposed to a standshy
alone activity and because it is based on parent requests
bull Offer classes for parents students and parent and student
bull Hold classes for parents at convenient times for working parents
bull Welcome parents daily into the afterschool program to participate with their students
bull Publicize parent opportunities well in advance of the events
bull Hold activities that reflect student and family interests ( communitystudent surveys)

and student remediation It is vital to the success of Lake Ridge New Tech students that there is
an all-out effort to recruit and retain partners for the 21 st CCLC program Although most of the
partners listed in the grant will provide in-kind matches additional funds will be necessary to
maintain the program after the grant period Some personnel costs will be absorbed by Lake

Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
Evidence of Previous Success
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools has operated 21 st CCLC programs for eight years due to
the generous funding from the government From 2010-2014 the program was implemented at
Calumet New Tech High School and in 2015 Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School was added
to the program These after-school programs provide services to high-poverty students who
would otherwise have no safe place to go after school no help with homework or the opportunity
to take part in enrichment classes and in some cases little to eat The Lake Ridge afterschool
program provides all of that dinner homework help fun socialization and a ride home
While mentioning roadblocks may not be the best way to start describing the stellar
accomplishments of the Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC programs there are factors that must be considered
1 The rate of transiency for Lake Ridge Schools varies from 40-60 This means that
it is not easy to amass 2- and 3-year data for students who are here today and gone
tomorrow In fact it is difficult even to achieve RAP status for our students which
makes the fact that both the middle and high school programs have made their RAP
numbers each year even more remarkable There was a 50 gain in ISTEP passage
in the middle and high schools combined for 3-year RAPs
2 After-school programming in secondary schools is difficult due to student
participation in sports clubs etc
3 Parent participation is difficult due to lack of transportation and stability in the home
Calumet New Tech High School
2014-2015 All Short-Term Performance Measures (STPM) were met and exceeded projections
2015-2016 All STPM were met with the exception of graduation for which the projection was
90 and the actual was 89
Page 160
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
2016-2017 Two STPM fell slightly short ofprojection The other STPM exceeded projection by 6
RAP Status The attendance target for the last 3 years was 70 RAPs The actual number of
RAPs exceeded the target for all three years
The success of the high school program included College and Career Readiness activities
that included a speaker panel and multiple college tours to which parents were invited F AFSA
nights were held for students and their parents Opportunities for Service Learning were provided
by allowing high school students to lead middle school activities There were also well-attended
enrichment activities that included music dance theater archery and other sports Students
attended a STEM camp at the Duneland Nature Center and parents took part in Strengthening
Families and EL parent night After-school students also attended and served as student
ambassadors at the Indiana Youth Institute state conference All of this was in addition to the
intensive tutoring and homework help that was offered The ISTEP and ECA Boot Camps
were well attended
Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School
2014-2015 STPMs fell slightly short of the projections
2015-2016 STPMS fell slightly short of the projections
2016-2017 STPMs exceeded the projections by at least 50
The disparity ofSTPMprojection and actual was due to the district switchingfrom
Acuity to NWEA Accurate comparable data was not available
RAP Status The projected RAP number was 81 for the last three years The first year RAP
projection was met at 81 The second year the RAP count increased to 111 and the third
year was 91

Middle School students and their parents attended college tours and heard guest speakers
on College and Career Readiness Enrichment activities included an award-winning

camp at the Duneland Nature Center The middle school held several programs and a Spring
Exhibition to showcase after-school student work to parents and the community Academic

B Evidence of Previous Success (Appendix pp 60-62)
C Design Requirements
1 Targeted Students and Their Families
In accordance with the requirements of GEPA 427 the following is a description of steps
to overcome barriers that may impede equitable access or participation in our program
All Lake Ridge middle and high school students participating in after-school services will
be afforded an opportunity to participate in the comprehensive program (Literacy Math
Career and College Readiness etc) regardless of gender race national origin color
disability or age All services offered will be tailored to individual needs with
accommodations as appropriate tutoring services (auditory component) Literacy and
Math Career and College Readiness activities (translation and developmentally
appropriate activitiesmaterials) transportation (handicapped accessible buses) Lake
Ridge Schools is a member of the Northwest Indiana Special Education Cooperative and
collaborates with them to provide appropriate services and accommodations
Furthermore since the plan includes families with limited English proficiency program
information will be distributed to such potential participants in their native language
Parent programs will have translation services when necessary
a See Attachment B page 2
b All students are targeted and will be recruited on the first day of school and during the
school year by flyers newsletters Lake Ridge website and by word-of-mouth
c Not applicable
d The Lake Ridge New Tech Schools serve a small urban region that straddles the
boundaries between the City of Gary and an unincorporated region known as Calumet
Page 125
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
Township The area is both economically and socially depressed Of the total Lake
Ridge student population of 1873 872 of the students are classified as freereduced
lunch and 359 of the population is living in poverty (State average is 141)
During SY 2016-2017 in Lake Ridge New Tech Schools there were 702 suspensions
and 22 expulsions 6 involving drugs andor firearms Currently there are 20 known
students on active probation in the district as per the Lake County Sheriffs Office
Clearly based on the above data Lake Ridge Schools has a critical need for an
afterschool community learning center Lake Ridge Schools is the hub of the
community and there is an urgent need for a place for the children to go after school
ISTEP+ scores are for the most part below the state average Without adequate
remediation and additional learning time students will be locked into an endless cycle of
catch up Currently 532 of students in the middle school and 65 of the high
school students read below grade level as per NWEA
2 Dissemination ofInformation
Parents of students from Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School Calumet New Tech High
School and Repairer of the Breach Ministries will receive information concerning
program logistics and student recruitment in a variety of ways including but not limited
to the following
bull Flyers will be sent home with students and mailed to parents of Lake Ridge and
Repairer of the Breach Ministries
bull Information will be available on the Lake Ridge website
bull Mass phone calls and text messages will be made on Alert Now
bull Information will be placed on school marquees
bull The local media will publish articles which praise the program
Page 126
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 215 CCLC Grant Proposal 20 I 7
bull A document similar to a college class brochure will list tutoring opportunities and
other classes that will be available after school This will be made available to
students and parents of students who participate in the program
bull Guidance counselors will confer with students who would benefit from the
afterschool program to urge them to take advantage of this opportunity
bull Behavior contracts that include attendance at the afterschool program will be written
by school counselors for students who have discipline andor attendance issues
bull Parents will be given information about afterschool programming at the district-wide
registration in the fall and at other school functions
3 Communication with Schools
a Equitable Service for Non-Public Schools
Students from Repairer of the Breach Ministries may take part in 21 st CCLC activities
(Attachment H p 9) During the Fall of2017 several in-person planning sessions and
telephone conversations took place with Lake Ridge administrators and Dr Mildred
Ewing Principal of Repairer of the Breach Ministries to plan for the attendance of her
students At present she has only one secondary student who might be interested in
attending the Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC program Dr Ewing is aware that academic
information for this student will be required to plan relevant sessions for him and to
evaluate his progress Dr Ewing agreed to be an active participant on the Lake Ridge
21 st CCLC Advisory Council
b Student Record Accessing
To differentiate instruction for students and to monitor progress instructional
personnel must have access to student data Student data reports will be generated by
the Lake Ridge RDS data management system and shared with instructors when
appropriate and with strict attention to privacy Permanent records may be accessed
Page 127
lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 1st CCLC Grant Proposal 201 7
by guidance personnel and the Progran1 Director Reports that will be used for
program evaluation will be generated using STN numbers rather than student names
Repairer of the Breach Ministries will provide student data to the Lake Ridge
Program Director for inclusion in state rep01is and to adjust the program
c Sharing Information on Students with Regular-day School Staffamp Families of
Participating Students and Community Stakeholders
Regular day staff will receive reports on student progress every nine weeks or more
frequently if the need ari ses Since the academic tutors are regular Lake Ridge
licensed teachers the reports may be informal or electronic The report may include
rates of progress and information on content so that the regular staff may coordinate
instruction with afterschool instruction Parents of students from Lake Ridge New
Tech Middle School Calumet New Tech High School and Repairer of the Breach
Ministries will receive information concerning the program and student recruitment in
a variety of ways as described on page 27 In addition every parent will receive a
21 st CCLC Parent Handbook which will include information about requirements for
academic achievement behavior and attendance There will also be program reports
that will be given to parents at regular parent programs Community members may
receive information on the Lake Ridge New Tech Schools website and from articles
in the Hammond Times and the Gay Post-Tribune
d Alignment ofIn-School and Out-of-School Time Efforts to Support Student Success
Lake Ridge Schools has an articulated K-1 2 curriculum which is based on Indiana
Academic Standards The K-1 2 curriculum may be found on the Lake Ridge home
page httpwww lakeridgekl2inus The afterschool program will be based on this
Page 128
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 21st CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
curriculum as well as the high school and middle school School Improvement Plans
which were derived from ISTEP+ PSAT NWEA and other local assessments
4 Programs that Promote Parental Involvement Family Literacy
and Related Educational_Development
Parental involvement in the Lake Ridge community is a challenge Many parents
do not have reliable transportation gas money or they feel uncomfortable because they
themselves were unsuccessful in school Parental involvement with the 21 st CCLC
Program will attack the parental involvement issue on two fronts Parent involvement
with students during the afterschool program and outside ofprogram hours (IAS 8)
Only parents of students enrolled in the 21st CCLC program will participate
Parent Engagement During Afterschool Hours These programs will engage
parents as they interact with their students Side-by-side events may include book
exchanges family game hours science experiments recreational sports and other fun and
educational activities that may be done by parents and students together These activities
will also serve to model for parents how they may help their students at home with
classwork (IAS 13) In addition sessions of a more serious nature may be offered for
parent and child that cover such issues as Internet safety violence prevention and how to
make positive life choices (IAS 13D) Parent classes will cover a variety of topics that
have been suggested on parent questionnaires and during discussions These classes may
include English for non-English speaking parents health and wellness parenting skills
technology recreational sports and literacy
ParentStudent Engagement Outside of Afterschool Hours These occasional
events may include students but will be held outside afterschool hours ( ex weekday
Page 129
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 21st CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
evenings Saturday etc) to accommodate the needs ofworking parents Only parents
who have students enrolled in the Lake Ridge 21st CCLC Program may participate
in these classesworkshops Classes might include literacy math crocheting Zumba
CPR music resume writing computer use and other topics that are requested by the
parents (IAS 15) When appropriate classes will be offered in both Spanish and English
Each school has a gymnasium large classrooms art and music rooms computer labs and
some have science labs so programs that are academic in nature as well as sports and
recreation may be offered The hoursdays of family services will not exceed that of the
student activities
Activities that are held outside of afterschool program time are opportunities to
promote schoolcommunity and family relationships These fun family events can be
educational for the entire family since there are many levels of learning that can be
experienced by family groups working on projects or just having fun together (IAS 9)
The Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC program will work with families and provide referral services
for other issues outside of its capabilities This plan to engage parents is comprehensive
and attainable because it is an extension of the regular school day as opposed to a standshy
alone activity and because it is based on parent requests
bull Offer classes for parents students and parent and student
bull Hold classes for parents at convenient times for working parents
bull Welcome parents daily into the afterschool program to participate with their students
bull Publicize parent opportunities well in advance of the events
bull Hold activities that reflect student and family interests ( communitystudent surveys)

VIII SUPPORT for STRATEGIC PRIORITIES
Lake Ridge Schools has an ar1iculated K-12 curriculum which is based on Indiana
Academic Standards The K-12 curriculum may be found on the Lake Ridge home page
httplakeridgek12inus The afterschool program will be based on this curriculum as well as
on the School Improvement Plans which were derived from ISTEP+ NWEA ECA and other
local assessments All Lake Ridge teachers have received professional development in the
Indiana Academic Standards and are active in developing the curriculum Using this curriculum
and data obtained from state and local assessments afterschool instructors will create learning
experiences for students in the afterschool program which is an extension of the school day
Page I 38
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
Literacy Math and College and Career Readiness will serve as the foundations for the
afterschool academic curricula at the middle and high schools and will be the primary vehicles
through which other skills and content areas are taught Both schools School Improvement
Plans which are on file with the IDOE focus on reading and math In addition College and
Career Readiness will include career exploration 21 st Century skills and diversity
IX SUSTAINABILITY PLAN
The partnerships listed in Section IV will continue after the four-year grant period ends
Instruction will be done by partners volunteers high school students who are working for Service
Learning credits and instructors paid by the district and other grants Other grants such as Titles I
IIA III and IV will provide additional funding for professional development parent involvement
and student remediation It is vital to the success of Lake Ridge New Tech students that there is
an all-out effort to recruit and retain partners for the 21 st CCLC program Although most of the
partners listed in the grant will provide in-kind matches additional funds will be necessary to
maintain the program after the grant period Some personnel costs will be absorbed by Lake
Ridge Lake Ridge New Tech Schools is not in a position from which it can approach improved
student achievement lightly and will do whatever it takes to sustain this program

X SAFETY AND TRANSPORTATION
A Safety is always a priority for Lake Ridge Schools Both the middle and high schools
have multiple trained safety specialists Emergency plans are kept current posted and staff
routinely reviews safety procedures All afterschool staff have on their cell phones an app called
REM4 which has the district safety plan and procedures contacts and an instant notification for
first responders All buildings are equipped with cameras and doors are locked Visitors must be
buzzed in and immediately report to the office The SRO will be available to afterschool
personnel in the event an emergency arises
Page 140
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 215 CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
B All Lake Ridge personnel including substitutes and volunteers undergo background
checks All afterschool instructors and volunteers who are not employees of Lake Ridge Schools
will be required to undergo the same background check The results of the background checks
are maintained in the Lake Ridge Central Office and are private When certified teachers are
required to teach content areas they will be fully licensed in their subject areas DOE teacher
licensing requires certification in CPR and AED
C The 21 st CCLC Programs are held in the middle and high schools There are no sidewalks
in the area so walkers are not allowed Bus transportation will be available after school at each
building The bus routes will be assigned each day by the Lake Ridge Transportation Director

seeing that the students are properly supervised while waiting for the bus and that all students are
accounted for and have transportation home Parents will not be expected to pick up their
students Parents who choose to pick up their students must show identification and sign for that
student The Lake County Sheriffs Office is in contact with the Lake Ridge School Resource
Officers about this program Extra law enforcement will be in place to make sure that the
children are safe during the program and on the way home Parents will be given specific
information about release times
College tours and field trips will be arranged using the Lake Ridge stringent set of safety
requirements and codes of conduct for students Furthermore the trips will be heavily
chaperoned by persons who have had background checks Parents will be required to give
written permission for their students to go on any trip

Evidence of Previous Success
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools has operated 21 st CCLC programs for eight years due to
the generous funding from the government From 2010-2014 the program was implemented at
Calumet New Tech High School and in 2015 Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School was added
to the program These after-school programs provide services to high-poverty students who
would otherwise have no safe place to go after school no help with homework or the opportunity
to take part in enrichment classes and in some cases little to eat The Lake Ridge afterschool
program provides all of that dinner homework help fun socialization and a ride home
While mentioning roadblocks may not be the best way to start describing the stellar
accomplishments of the Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC programs there are factors that must be considered
1 The rate of transiency for Lake Ridge Schools varies from 40-60 This means that
it is not easy to amass 2- and 3-year data for students who are here today and gone
tomorrow In fact it is difficult even to achieve RAP status for our students which
makes the fact that both the middle and high school programs have made their RAP
numbers each year even more remarkable There was a 50 gain in ISTEP passage
in the middle and high schools combined for 3-year RAPs
2 After-school programming in secondary schools is difficult due to student
participation in sports clubs etc
3 Parent participation is difficult due to lack of transportation and stability in the home
Calumet New Tech High School
2014-2015 All Short-Term Performance Measures (STPM) were met and exceeded projections
2015-2016 All STPM were met with the exception of graduation for which the projection was
90 and the actual was 89
Page 160
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
2016-2017 Two STPM fell slightly short ofprojection The other STPM exceeded projection by 6
RAP Status The attendance target for the last 3 years was 70 RAPs The actual number of
RAPs exceeded the target for all three years
The success of the high school program included College and Career Readiness activities
that included a speaker panel and multiple college tours to which parents were invited F AFSA
nights were held for students and their parents Opportunities for Service Learning were provided
by allowing high school students to lead middle school activities There were also well-attended
enrichment activities that included music dance theater archery and other sports Students
attended a STEM camp at the Duneland Nature Center and parents took part in Strengthening
Families and EL parent night After-school students also attended and served as student
ambassadors at the Indiana Youth Institute state conference All of this was in addition to the
intensive tutoring and homework help that was offered The ISTEP and ECA Boot Camps
were well attended
Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School
2014-2015 STPMs fell slightly short of the projections
2015-2016 STPMS fell slightly short of the projections
2016-2017 STPMs exceeded the projections by at least 50
The disparity ofSTPMprojection and actual was due to the district switchingfrom
Acuity to NWEA Accurate comparable data was not available
RAP Status The projected RAP number was 81 for the last three years The first year RAP
projection was met at 81 The second year the RAP count increased to 111 and the third
year was 91

B Evidence of Previous Success (Appendix pp 60-62)
C Design Requirements
1 Targeted Students and Their Families
In accordance with the requirements of GEPA 427 the following is a description of steps
to overcome barriers that may impede equitable access or participation in our program
All Lake Ridge middle and high school students participating in after-school services will
be afforded an opportunity to participate in the comprehensive program (Literacy Math
Career and College Readiness etc) regardless of gender race national origin color
disability or age All services offered will be tailored to individual needs with
accommodations as appropriate tutoring services (auditory component) Literacy and
Math Career and College Readiness activities (translation and developmentally
appropriate activitiesmaterials) transportation (handicapped accessible buses) Lake
Ridge Schools is a member of the Northwest Indiana Special Education Cooperative and
collaborates with them to provide appropriate services and accommodations
Furthermore since the plan includes families with limited English proficiency program
information will be distributed to such potential participants in their native language
Parent programs will have translation services when necessary
a See Attachment B page 2
b All students are targeted and will be recruited on the first day of school and during the
school year by flyers newsletters Lake Ridge website and by word-of-mouth
c Not applicable
d The Lake Ridge New Tech Schools serve a small urban region that straddles the
boundaries between the City of Gary and an unincorporated region known as Calumet
Page 125
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
Township The area is both economically and socially depressed Of the total Lake
Ridge student population of 1873 872 of the students are classified as freereduced
lunch and 359 of the population is living in poverty (State average is 141)
During SY 2016-2017 in Lake Ridge New Tech Schools there were 702 suspensions
and 22 expulsions 6 involving drugs andor firearms Currently there are 20 known
students on active probation in the district as per the Lake County Sheriffs Office
Clearly based on the above data Lake Ridge Schools has a critical need for an
afterschool community learning center Lake Ridge Schools is the hub of the
community and there is an urgent need for a place for the children to go after school
ISTEP+ scores are for the most part below the state average Without adequate
remediation and additional learning time students will be locked into an endless cycle of
catch up Currently 532 of students in the middle school and 65 of the high
school students read below grade level as per NWEA
2 Dissemination ofInformation
Parents of students from Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School Calumet New Tech High
School and Repairer of the Breach Ministries will receive information concerning
program logistics and student recruitment in a variety of ways including but not limited
to the following
bull Flyers will be sent home with students and mailed to parents of Lake Ridge and
Repairer of the Breach Ministries
bull Information will be available on the Lake Ridge website
bull Mass phone calls and text messages will be made on Alert Now
bull Information will be placed on school marquees
bull The local media will publish articles which praise the program
Page 126
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 215 CCLC Grant Proposal 20 I 7
bull A document similar to a college class brochure will list tutoring opportunities and
other classes that will be available after school This will be made available to
students and parents of students who participate in the program
bull Guidance counselors will confer with students who would benefit from the
afterschool program to urge them to take advantage of this opportunity
bull Behavior contracts that include attendance at the afterschool program will be written
by school counselors for students who have discipline andor attendance issues
bull Parents will be given information about afterschool programming at the district-wide
registration in the fall and at other school functions
3 Communication with Schools
a Equitable Service for Non-Public Schools
Students from Repairer of the Breach Ministries may take part in 21 st CCLC activities
(Attachment H p 9) During the Fall of2017 several in-person planning sessions and
telephone conversations took place with Lake Ridge administrators and Dr Mildred
Ewing Principal of Repairer of the Breach Ministries to plan for the attendance of her
students At present she has only one secondary student who might be interested in
attending the Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC program Dr Ewing is aware that academic
information for this student will be required to plan relevant sessions for him and to
evaluate his progress Dr Ewing agreed to be an active participant on the Lake Ridge
21 st CCLC Advisory Council
b Student Record Accessing
To differentiate instruction for students and to monitor progress instructional
personnel must have access to student data Student data reports will be generated by
the Lake Ridge RDS data management system and shared with instructors when
appropriate and with strict attention to privacy Permanent records may be accessed
Page 127
lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 1st CCLC Grant Proposal 201 7
by guidance personnel and the Progran1 Director Reports that will be used for
program evaluation will be generated using STN numbers rather than student names
Repairer of the Breach Ministries will provide student data to the Lake Ridge
Program Director for inclusion in state rep01is and to adjust the program
c Sharing Information on Students with Regular-day School Staffamp Families of
Participating Students and Community Stakeholders
Regular day staff will receive reports on student progress every nine weeks or more
frequently if the need ari ses Since the academic tutors are regular Lake Ridge
licensed teachers the reports may be informal or electronic The report may include
rates of progress and information on content so that the regular staff may coordinate
instruction with afterschool instruction Parents of students from Lake Ridge New
Tech Middle School Calumet New Tech High School and Repairer of the Breach
Ministries will receive information concerning the program and student recruitment in
a variety of ways as described on page 27 In addition every parent will receive a
21 st CCLC Parent Handbook which will include information about requirements for
academic achievement behavior and attendance There will also be program reports
that will be given to parents at regular parent programs Community members may
receive information on the Lake Ridge New Tech Schools website and from articles
in the Hammond Times and the Gay Post-Tribune
d Alignment ofIn-School and Out-of-School Time Efforts to Support Student Success
Lake Ridge Schools has an articulated K-1 2 curriculum which is based on Indiana
Academic Standards The K-1 2 curriculum may be found on the Lake Ridge home
page httpwww lakeridgekl2inus The afterschool program will be based on this
Page 128
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 21st CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
curriculum as well as the high school and middle school School Improvement Plans
which were derived from ISTEP+ PSAT NWEA and other local assessments
4 Programs that Promote Parental Involvement Family Literacy
and Related Educational_Development
Parental involvement in the Lake Ridge community is a challenge Many parents
do not have reliable transportation gas money or they feel uncomfortable because they
themselves were unsuccessful in school Parental involvement with the 21 st CCLC
Program will attack the parental involvement issue on two fronts Parent involvement
with students during the afterschool program and outside ofprogram hours (IAS 8)
Only parents of students enrolled in the 21st CCLC program will participate
Parent Engagement During Afterschool Hours These programs will engage
parents as they interact with their students Side-by-side events may include book
exchanges family game hours science experiments recreational sports and other fun and
educational activities that may be done by parents and students together These activities
will also serve to model for parents how they may help their students at home with
classwork (IAS 13) In addition sessions of a more serious nature may be offered for
parent and child that cover such issues as Internet safety violence prevention and how to
make positive life choices (IAS 13D) Parent classes will cover a variety of topics that
have been suggested on parent questionnaires and during discussions These classes may
include English for non-English speaking parents health and wellness parenting skills
technology recreational sports and literacy
ParentStudent Engagement Outside of Afterschool Hours These occasional
events may include students but will be held outside afterschool hours ( ex weekday
Page 129
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 21st CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
evenings Saturday etc) to accommodate the needs ofworking parents Only parents
who have students enrolled in the Lake Ridge 21st CCLC Program may participate
in these classesworkshops Classes might include literacy math crocheting Zumba
CPR music resume writing computer use and other topics that are requested by the
parents (IAS 15) When appropriate classes will be offered in both Spanish and English
Each school has a gymnasium large classrooms art and music rooms computer labs and
some have science labs so programs that are academic in nature as well as sports and
recreation may be offered The hoursdays of family services will not exceed that of the
student activities
Activities that are held outside of afterschool program time are opportunities to
promote schoolcommunity and family relationships These fun family events can be
educational for the entire family since there are many levels of learning that can be
experienced by family groups working on projects or just having fun together (IAS 9)
The Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC program will work with families and provide referral services
for other issues outside of its capabilities This plan to engage parents is comprehensive
and attainable because it is an extension of the regular school day as opposed to a standshy
alone activity and because it is based on parent requests
bull Offer classes for parents students and parent and student
bull Hold classes for parents at convenient times for working parents
bull Welcome parents daily into the afterschool program to participate with their students
bull Publicize parent opportunities well in advance of the events
bull Hold activities that reflect student and family interests ( communitystudent surveys)

Evidence of Previous Success
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools has operated 21 st CCLC programs for eight years due to
the generous funding from the government From 2010-2014 the program was implemented at
Calumet New Tech High School and in 2015 Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School was added
to the program These after-school programs provide services to high-poverty students who
would otherwise have no safe place to go after school no help with homework or the opportunity
to take part in enrichment classes and in some cases little to eat The Lake Ridge afterschool
program provides all of that dinner homework help fun socialization and a ride home
While mentioning roadblocks may not be the best way to start describing the stellar
accomplishments of the Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC programs there are factors that must be considered
1 The rate of transiency for Lake Ridge Schools varies from 40-60 This means that
it is not easy to amass 2- and 3-year data for students who are here today and gone
tomorrow In fact it is difficult even to achieve RAP status for our students which
makes the fact that both the middle and high school programs have made their RAP
numbers each year even more remarkable There was a 50 gain in ISTEP passage
in the middle and high schools combined for 3-year RAPs
2 After-school programming in secondary schools is difficult due to student
participation in sports clubs etc
3 Parent participation is difficult due to lack of transportation and stability in the home
Calumet New Tech High School
2014-2015 All Short-Term Performance Measures (STPM) were met and exceeded projections
2015-2016 All STPM were met with the exception of graduation for which the projection was
90 and the actual was 89
Page 160
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
2016-2017 Two STPM fell slightly short ofprojection The other STPM exceeded projection by 6
RAP Status The attendance target for the last 3 years was 70 RAPs The actual number of
RAPs exceeded the target for all three years
The success of the high school program included College and Career Readiness activities
that included a speaker panel and multiple college tours to which parents were invited F AFSA
nights were held for students and their parents Opportunities for Service Learning were provided
by allowing high school students to lead middle school activities There were also well-attended
enrichment activities that included music dance theater archery and other sports Students
attended a STEM camp at the Duneland Nature Center and parents took part in Strengthening
Families and EL parent night After-school students also attended and served as student
ambassadors at the Indiana Youth Institute state conference All of this was in addition to the
intensive tutoring and homework help that was offered The ISTEP and ECA Boot Camps
were well attended
Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School
2014-2015 STPMs fell slightly short of the projections
2015-2016 STPMS fell slightly short of the projections
2016-2017 STPMs exceeded the projections by at least 50
The disparity ofSTPMprojection and actual was due to the district switchingfrom
Acuity to NWEA Accurate comparable data was not available
RAP Status The projected RAP number was 81 for the last three years The first year RAP
projection was met at 81 The second year the RAP count increased to 111 and the third
year was 91

Middle School students and their parents attended college tours and heard guest speakers
on College and Career Readiness Enrichment activities included an award-winning

club A Jr Police Program which was led by a Lake County Sheriff Students attended a STEM
camp at the Duneland Nature Center The middle school held several programs and a Spring
Exhibition to showcase after-school student work to parents and the community Academic
programs included tutoring and homework help as well as ISTEP Jumpstart Lake Ridge New

B Evidence of Previous Success (Appendix pp 60-62)
C Design Requirements
1 Targeted Students and Their Families
In accordance with the requirements of GEPA 427 the following is a description of steps
to overcome barriers that may impede equitable access or participation in our program
All Lake Ridge middle and high school students participating in after-school services will
be afforded an opportunity to participate in the comprehensive program (Literacy Math
Career and College Readiness etc) regardless of gender race national origin color
disability or age All services offered will be tailored to individual needs with
accommodations as appropriate tutoring services (auditory component) Literacy and
Math Career and College Readiness activities (translation and developmentally
appropriate activitiesmaterials) transportation (handicapped accessible buses) Lake
Ridge Schools is a member of the Northwest Indiana Special Education Cooperative and
collaborates with them to provide appropriate services and accommodations
Furthermore since the plan includes families with limited English proficiency program
information will be distributed to such potential participants in their native language
Parent programs will have translation services when necessary
a See Attachment B page 2
b All students are targeted and will be recruited on the first day of school and during the
school year by flyers newsletters Lake Ridge website and by word-of-mouth
c Not applicable
d The Lake Ridge New Tech Schools serve a small urban region that straddles the
boundaries between the City of Gary and an unincorporated region known as Calumet
Page 125
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
Township The area is both economically and socially depressed Of the total Lake
Ridge student population of 1873 872 of the students are classified as freereduced
lunch and 359 of the population is living in poverty (State average is 141)
During SY 2016-2017 in Lake Ridge New Tech Schools there were 702 suspensions
and 22 expulsions 6 involving drugs andor firearms Currently there are 20 known
students on active probation in the district as per the Lake County Sheriffs Office
Clearly based on the above data Lake Ridge Schools has a critical need for an
afterschool community learning center Lake Ridge Schools is the hub of the
community and there is an urgent need for a place for the children to go after school
ISTEP+ scores are for the most part below the state average Without adequate
remediation and additional learning time students will be locked into an endless cycle of
catch up Currently 532 of students in the middle school and 65 of the high
school students read below grade level as per NWEA
2 Dissemination ofInformation
Parents of students from Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School Calumet New Tech High
School and Repairer of the Breach Ministries will receive information concerning
program logistics and student recruitment in a variety of ways including but not limited
to the following
bull Flyers will be sent home with students and mailed to parents of Lake Ridge and
Repairer of the Breach Ministries
bull Information will be available on the Lake Ridge website
bull Mass phone calls and text messages will be made on Alert Now
bull Information will be placed on school marquees
bull The local media will publish articles which praise the program
Page 126
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 215 CCLC Grant Proposal 20 I 7
bull A document similar to a college class brochure will list tutoring opportunities and
other classes that will be available after school This will be made available to
students and parents of students who participate in the program
bull Guidance counselors will confer with students who would benefit from the
afterschool program to urge them to take advantage of this opportunity
bull Behavior contracts that include attendance at the afterschool program will be written
by school counselors for students who have discipline andor attendance issues
bull Parents will be given information about afterschool programming at the district-wide
registration in the fall and at other school functions
3 Communication with Schools
a Equitable Service for Non-Public Schools
Students from Repairer of the Breach Ministries may take part in 21 st CCLC activities
(Attachment H p 9) During the Fall of2017 several in-person planning sessions and
telephone conversations took place with Lake Ridge administrators and Dr Mildred
Ewing Principal of Repairer of the Breach Ministries to plan for the attendance of her
students At present she has only one secondary student who might be interested in
attending the Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC program Dr Ewing is aware that academic
information for this student will be required to plan relevant sessions for him and to
evaluate his progress Dr Ewing agreed to be an active participant on the Lake Ridge
21 st CCLC Advisory Council
b Student Record Accessing
To differentiate instruction for students and to monitor progress instructional
personnel must have access to student data Student data reports will be generated by
the Lake Ridge RDS data management system and shared with instructors when
appropriate and with strict attention to privacy Permanent records may be accessed
Page 127
lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 1st CCLC Grant Proposal 201 7
by guidance personnel and the Progran1 Director Reports that will be used for
program evaluation will be generated using STN numbers rather than student names
Repairer of the Breach Ministries will provide student data to the Lake Ridge
Program Director for inclusion in state rep01is and to adjust the program
c Sharing Information on Students with Regular-day School Staffamp Families of
Participating Students and Community Stakeholders
Regular day staff will receive reports on student progress every nine weeks or more
frequently if the need ari ses Since the academic tutors are regular Lake Ridge
licensed teachers the reports may be informal or electronic The report may include
rates of progress and information on content so that the regular staff may coordinate
instruction with afterschool instruction Parents of students from Lake Ridge New
Tech Middle School Calumet New Tech High School and Repairer of the Breach
Ministries will receive information concerning the program and student recruitment in
a variety of ways as described on page 27 In addition every parent will receive a
21 st CCLC Parent Handbook which will include information about requirements for
academic achievement behavior and attendance There will also be program reports
that will be given to parents at regular parent programs Community members may
receive information on the Lake Ridge New Tech Schools website and from articles
in the Hammond Times and the Gay Post-Tribune
d Alignment ofIn-School and Out-of-School Time Efforts to Support Student Success
Lake Ridge Schools has an articulated K-1 2 curriculum which is based on Indiana
Academic Standards The K-1 2 curriculum may be found on the Lake Ridge home
page httpwww lakeridgekl2inus The afterschool program will be based on this
Page 128
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 21st CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
curriculum as well as the high school and middle school School Improvement Plans
which were derived from ISTEP+ PSAT NWEA and other local assessments
4 Programs that Promote Parental Involvement Family Literacy
and Related Educational_Development
Parental involvement in the Lake Ridge community is a challenge Many parents
do not have reliable transportation gas money or they feel uncomfortable because they
themselves were unsuccessful in school Parental involvement with the 21 st CCLC
Program will attack the parental involvement issue on two fronts Parent involvement
with students during the afterschool program and outside ofprogram hours (IAS 8)
Only parents of students enrolled in the 21st CCLC program will participate
Parent Engagement During Afterschool Hours These programs will engage
parents as they interact with their students Side-by-side events may include book
exchanges family game hours science experiments recreational sports and other fun and
educational activities that may be done by parents and students together These activities
will also serve to model for parents how they may help their students at home with
classwork (IAS 13) In addition sessions of a more serious nature may be offered for
parent and child that cover such issues as Internet safety violence prevention and how to
make positive life choices (IAS 13D) Parent classes will cover a variety of topics that
have been suggested on parent questionnaires and during discussions These classes may
include English for non-English speaking parents health and wellness parenting skills
technology recreational sports and literacy
ParentStudent Engagement Outside of Afterschool Hours These occasional
events may include students but will be held outside afterschool hours ( ex weekday
Page 129
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 21st CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
evenings Saturday etc) to accommodate the needs ofworking parents Only parents
who have students enrolled in the Lake Ridge 21st CCLC Program may participate
in these classesworkshops Classes might include literacy math crocheting Zumba
CPR music resume writing computer use and other topics that are requested by the
parents (IAS 15) When appropriate classes will be offered in both Spanish and English
Each school has a gymnasium large classrooms art and music rooms computer labs and
some have science labs so programs that are academic in nature as well as sports and
recreation may be offered The hoursdays of family services will not exceed that of the
student activities
Activities that are held outside of afterschool program time are opportunities to
promote schoolcommunity and family relationships These fun family events can be
educational for the entire family since there are many levels of learning that can be
experienced by family groups working on projects or just having fun together (IAS 9)
The Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC program will work with families and provide referral services
for other issues outside of its capabilities This plan to engage parents is comprehensive
and attainable because it is an extension of the regular school day as opposed to a standshy
alone activity and because it is based on parent requests
bull Offer classes for parents students and parent and student
bull Hold classes for parents at convenient times for working parents
bull Welcome parents daily into the afterschool program to participate with their students
bull Publicize parent opportunities well in advance of the events
bull Hold activities that reflect student and family interests ( communitystudent surveys)

and student remediation It is vital to the success of Lake Ridge New Tech students that there is
an all-out effort to recruit and retain partners for the 21 st CCLC program Although most of the
partners listed in the grant will provide in-kind matches additional funds will be necessary to
maintain the program after the grant period Some personnel costs will be absorbed by Lake

Evidence of Previous Success
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools has operated 21 st CCLC programs for eight years due to
the generous funding from the government From 2010-2014 the program was implemented at
Calumet New Tech High School and in 2015 Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School was added
to the program These after-school programs provide services to high-poverty students who
would otherwise have no safe place to go after school no help with homework or the opportunity
to take part in enrichment classes and in some cases little to eat The Lake Ridge afterschool
program provides all of that dinner homework help fun socialization and a ride home
While mentioning roadblocks may not be the best way to start describing the stellar
accomplishments of the Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC programs there are factors that must be considered
1 The rate of transiency for Lake Ridge Schools varies from 40-60 This means that
it is not easy to amass 2- and 3-year data for students who are here today and gone
tomorrow In fact it is difficult even to achieve RAP status for our students which
makes the fact that both the middle and high school programs have made their RAP
numbers each year even more remarkable There was a 50 gain in ISTEP passage
in the middle and high schools combined for 3-year RAPs
2 After-school programming in secondary schools is difficult due to student
participation in sports clubs etc
3 Parent participation is difficult due to lack of transportation and stability in the home
Calumet New Tech High School
2014-2015 All Short-Term Performance Measures (STPM) were met and exceeded projections
2015-2016 All STPM were met with the exception of graduation for which the projection was
90 and the actual was 89
Page 160
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
2016-2017 Two STPM fell slightly short ofprojection The other STPM exceeded projection by 6
RAP Status The attendance target for the last 3 years was 70 RAPs The actual number of
RAPs exceeded the target for all three years
The success of the high school program included College and Career Readiness activities
that included a speaker panel and multiple college tours to which parents were invited F AFSA
nights were held for students and their parents Opportunities for Service Learning were provided
by allowing high school students to lead middle school activities There were also well-attended
enrichment activities that included music dance theater archery and other sports Students
attended a STEM camp at the Duneland Nature Center and parents took part in Strengthening
Families and EL parent night After-school students also attended and served as student
ambassadors at the Indiana Youth Institute state conference All of this was in addition to the
intensive tutoring and homework help that was offered The ISTEP and ECA Boot Camps
were well attended
Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School
2014-2015 STPMs fell slightly short of the projections
2015-2016 STPMS fell slightly short of the projections
2016-2017 STPMs exceeded the projections by at least 50
The disparity ofSTPMprojection and actual was due to the district switchingfrom
Acuity to NWEA Accurate comparable data was not available
RAP Status The projected RAP number was 81 for the last three years The first year RAP
projection was met at 81 The second year the RAP count increased to 111 and the third
year was 91

Middle School students and their parents attended college tours and heard guest speakers
on College and Career Readiness Enrichment activities included an award-winning

camp at the Duneland Nature Center The middle school held several programs and a Spring
Exhibition to showcase after-school student work to parents and the community Academic

C Design Requirements
1 Targeted Students and Their Families
In accordance with the requirements of GEPA 427 the following is a description of steps
to overcome barriers that may impede equitable access or participation in our program
All Lake Ridge middle and high school students participating in after-school services will
be afforded an opportunity to participate in the comprehensive program (Literacy Math
Career and College Readiness etc) regardless of gender race national origin color
disability or age All services offered will be tailored to individual needs with
accommodations as appropriate tutoring services (auditory component) Literacy and
Math Career and College Readiness activities (translation and developmentally
appropriate activitiesmaterials) transportation (handicapped accessible buses) Lake
Ridge Schools is a member of the Northwest Indiana Special Education Cooperative and
collaborates with them to provide appropriate services and accommodations
Furthermore since the plan includes families with limited English proficiency program
information will be distributed to such potential participants in their native language
Parent programs will have translation services when necessary
a See Attachment B page 2
b All students are targeted and will be recruited on the first day of school and during the
school year by flyers newsletters Lake Ridge website and by word-of-mouth
c Not applicable
d The Lake Ridge New Tech Schools serve a small urban region that straddles the
boundaries between the City of Gary and an unincorporated region known as Calumet

Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
Township The area is both economically and socially depressed Of the total Lake
Ridge student population of 1873 872 of the students are classified as freereduced
lunch and 359 of the population is living in poverty (State average is 141)
During SY 2016-2017 in Lake Ridge New Tech Schools there were 702 suspensions
and 22 expulsions 6 involving drugs andor firearms Currently there are 20 known
students on active probation in the district as per the Lake County Sheriffs Office
Clearly based on the above data Lake Ridge Schools has a critical need for an
afterschool community learning center Lake Ridge Schools is the hub of the
community and there is an urgent need for a place for the children to go after school
ISTEP+ scores are for the most part below the state average Without adequate
remediation and additional learning time students will be locked into an endless cycle of

Program Director for inclusion in state rep01is and to adjust the program
c Sharing Information on Students with Regular-day School Staffamp Families of
Participating Students and Community Stakeholders
Regular day staff will receive reports on student progress every nine weeks or more
frequently if the need ari ses Since the academic tutors are regular Lake Ridge
licensed teachers the reports may be informal or electronic The report may include
rates of progress and information on content so that the regular staff may coordinate
instruction with afterschool instruction Parents of students from Lake Ridge New
Tech Middle School Calumet New Tech High School and Repairer of the Breach
Ministries will receive information concerning the program and student recruitment in
a variety of ways as described on page 27 In addition every parent will receive a

curriculum as well as the high school and middle school School Improvement Plans
which were derived from ISTEP+ PSAT NWEA and other local assessments
4 Programs that Promote Parental Involvement Family Literacy
and Related Educational_Development
Parental involvement in the Lake Ridge community is a challenge Many parents
do not have reliable transportation gas money or they feel uncomfortable because they
themselves were unsuccessful in school Parental involvement with the 21 st CCLC
Program will attack the parental involvement issue on two fronts Parent involvement
with students during the afterschool program and outside ofprogram hours (IAS 8)
Only parents of students enrolled in the 21st CCLC program will participate
Parent Engagement During Afterschool Hours These programs will engage
parents as they interact with their students Side-by-side events may include book
exchanges family game hours science experiments recreational sports and other fun and
educational activities that may be done by parents and students together These activities
will also serve to model for parents how they may help their students at home with
classwork (IAS 13) In addition sessions of a more serious nature may be offered for
parent and child that cover such issues as Internet safety violence prevention and how to
make positive life choices (IAS 13D) Parent classes will cover a variety of topics that
have been suggested on parent questionnaires and during discussions These classes may
include English for non-English speaking parents health and wellness parenting skills
technology recreational sports and literacy
ParentStudent Engagement Outside of Afterschool Hours These occasional
events may include students but will be held outside afterschool hours ( ex weekday
Page 129
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 21st CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
evenings Saturday etc) to accommodate the needs ofworking parents Only parents
who have students enrolled in the Lake Ridge 21st CCLC Program may participate
in these classesworkshops Classes might include literacy math crocheting Zumba
CPR music resume writing computer use and other topics that are requested by the
parents (IAS 15) When appropriate classes will be offered in both Spanish and English
Each school has a gymnasium large classrooms art and music rooms computer labs and
some have science labs so programs that are academic in nature as well as sports and
recreation may be offered The hoursdays of family services will not exceed that of the
student activities
Activities that are held outside of afterschool program time are opportunities to
promote schoolcommunity and family relationships These fun family events can be
educational for the entire family since there are many levels of learning that can be
experienced by family groups working on projects or just having fun together (IAS 9)
The Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC program will work with families and provide referral services
for other issues outside of its capabilities This plan to engage parents is comprehensive
and attainable because it is an extension of the regular school day as opposed to a standshy
alone activity and because it is based on parent requests
bull Offer classes for parents students and parent and student
bull Hold classes for parents at convenient times for working parents
bull Welcome parents daily into the afterschool program to participate with their students
bull Publicize parent opportunities well in advance of the events
bull Hold activities that reflect student and family interests ( communitystudent surveys)

VIII SUPPORT for STRATEGIC PRIORITIES
Lake Ridge Schools has an ar1iculated K-12 curriculum which is based on Indiana
Academic Standards The K-12 curriculum may be found on the Lake Ridge home page
httplakeridgek12inus The afterschool program will be based on this curriculum as well as
on the School Improvement Plans which were derived from ISTEP+ NWEA ECA and other
local assessments All Lake Ridge teachers have received professional development in the
Indiana Academic Standards and are active in developing the curriculum Using this curriculum
and data obtained from state and local assessments afterschool instructors will create learning
experiences for students in the afterschool program which is an extension of the school day
Page I 38
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
Literacy Math and College and Career Readiness will serve as the foundations for the
afterschool academic curricula at the middle and high schools and will be the primary vehicles
through which other skills and content areas are taught Both schools School Improvement
Plans which are on file with the IDOE focus on reading and math In addition College and
Career Readiness will include career exploration 21 st Century skills and diversity
IX SUSTAINABILITY PLAN
The partnerships listed in Section IV will continue after the four-year grant period ends
Instruction will be done by partners volunteers high school students who are working for Service
Learning credits and instructors paid by the district and other grants Other grants such as Titles I
IIA III and IV will provide additional funding for professional development parent involvement
and student remediation It is vital to the success of Lake Ridge New Tech students that there is
an all-out effort to recruit and retain partners for the 21 st CCLC program Although most of the
partners listed in the grant will provide in-kind matches additional funds will be necessary to
maintain the program after the grant period Some personnel costs will be absorbed by Lake
Ridge Lake Ridge New Tech Schools is not in a position from which it can approach improved
student achievement lightly and will do whatever it takes to sustain this program

Evidence of Previous Success
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools has operated 21 st CCLC programs for eight years due to
the generous funding from the government From 2010-2014 the program was implemented at
Calumet New Tech High School and in 2015 Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School was added
to the program These after-school programs provide services to high-poverty students who
would otherwise have no safe place to go after school no help with homework or the opportunity
to take part in enrichment classes and in some cases little to eat The Lake Ridge afterschool
program provides all of that dinner homework help fun socialization and a ride home
While mentioning roadblocks may not be the best way to start describing the stellar
accomplishments of the Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC programs there are factors that must be considered
1 The rate of transiency for Lake Ridge Schools varies from 40-60 This means that
it is not easy to amass 2- and 3-year data for students who are here today and gone
tomorrow In fact it is difficult even to achieve RAP status for our students which
makes the fact that both the middle and high school programs have made their RAP
numbers each year even more remarkable There was a 50 gain in ISTEP passage
in the middle and high schools combined for 3-year RAPs
2 After-school programming in secondary schools is difficult due to student
participation in sports clubs etc
3 Parent participation is difficult due to lack of transportation and stability in the home
Calumet New Tech High School
2014-2015 All Short-Term Performance Measures (STPM) were met and exceeded projections
2015-2016 All STPM were met with the exception of graduation for which the projection was
90 and the actual was 89
Page 160
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
2016-2017 Two STPM fell slightly short ofprojection The other STPM exceeded projection by 6
RAP Status The attendance target for the last 3 years was 70 RAPs The actual number of
RAPs exceeded the target for all three years
The success of the high school program included College and Career Readiness activities
that included a speaker panel and multiple college tours to which parents were invited F AFSA
nights were held for students and their parents Opportunities for Service Learning were provided
by allowing high school students to lead middle school activities There were also well-attended
enrichment activities that included music dance theater archery and other sports Students
attended a STEM camp at the Duneland Nature Center and parents took part in Strengthening
Families and EL parent night After-school students also attended and served as student
ambassadors at the Indiana Youth Institute state conference All of this was in addition to the
intensive tutoring and homework help that was offered The ISTEP and ECA Boot Camps
were well attended
Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School
2014-2015 STPMs fell slightly short of the projections
2015-2016 STPMS fell slightly short of the projections
2016-2017 STPMs exceeded the projections by at least 50
The disparity ofSTPMprojection and actual was due to the district switchingfrom
Acuity to NWEA Accurate comparable data was not available
RAP Status The projected RAP number was 81 for the last three years The first year RAP
projection was met at 81 The second year the RAP count increased to 111 and the third
year was 91

camp at the Duneland Nature Center The middle school held several programs and a Spring

B Evidence of Previous Success (Appendix pp 60-62)
C Design Requirements
1 Targeted Students and Their Families
In accordance with the requirements of GEPA 427 the following is a description of steps
to overcome barriers that may impede equitable access or participation in our program
All Lake Ridge middle and high school students participating in after-school services will
be afforded an opportunity to participate in the comprehensive program (Literacy Math
Career and College Readiness etc) regardless of gender race national origin color
disability or age All services offered will be tailored to individual needs with
accommodations as appropriate tutoring services (auditory component) Literacy and
Math Career and College Readiness activities (translation and developmentally
appropriate activitiesmaterials) transportation (handicapped accessible buses) Lake
Ridge Schools is a member of the Northwest Indiana Special Education Cooperative and
collaborates with them to provide appropriate services and accommodations
Furthermore since the plan includes families with limited English proficiency program
information will be distributed to such potential participants in their native language
Parent programs will have translation services when necessary
a See Attachment B page 2
b All students are targeted and will be recruited on the first day of school and during the
school year by flyers newsletters Lake Ridge website and by word-of-mouth
c Not applicable
d The Lake Ridge New Tech Schools serve a small urban region that straddles the
boundaries between the City of Gary and an unincorporated region known as Calumet
Page 125
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
Township The area is both economically and socially depressed Of the total Lake
Ridge student population of 1873 872 of the students are classified as freereduced
lunch and 359 of the population is living in poverty (State average is 141)
During SY 2016-2017 in Lake Ridge New Tech Schools there were 702 suspensions
and 22 expulsions 6 involving drugs andor firearms Currently there are 20 known
students on active probation in the district as per the Lake County Sheriffs Office
Clearly based on the above data Lake Ridge Schools has a critical need for an
afterschool community learning center Lake Ridge Schools is the hub of the
community and there is an urgent need for a place for the children to go after school
ISTEP+ scores are for the most part below the state average Without adequate
remediation and additional learning time students will be locked into an endless cycle of
catch up Currently 532 of students in the middle school and 65 of the high
school students read below grade level as per NWEA
2 Dissemination ofInformation
Parents of students from Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School Calumet New Tech High
School and Repairer of the Breach Ministries will receive information concerning
program logistics and student recruitment in a variety of ways including but not limited
to the following
bull Flyers will be sent home with students and mailed to parents of Lake Ridge and
Repairer of the Breach Ministries
bull Information will be available on the Lake Ridge website
bull Mass phone calls and text messages will be made on Alert Now
bull Information will be placed on school marquees
bull The local media will publish articles which praise the program
Page 126
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 215 CCLC Grant Proposal 20 I 7
bull A document similar to a college class brochure will list tutoring opportunities and
other classes that will be available after school This will be made available to
students and parents of students who participate in the program
bull Guidance counselors will confer with students who would benefit from the
afterschool program to urge them to take advantage of this opportunity
bull Behavior contracts that include attendance at the afterschool program will be written
by school counselors for students who have discipline andor attendance issues
bull Parents will be given information about afterschool programming at the district-wide
registration in the fall and at other school functions
3 Communication with Schools
a Equitable Service for Non-Public Schools
Students from Repairer of the Breach Ministries may take part in 21 st CCLC activities
(Attachment H p 9) During the Fall of2017 several in-person planning sessions and
telephone conversations took place with Lake Ridge administrators and Dr Mildred
Ewing Principal of Repairer of the Breach Ministries to plan for the attendance of her
students At present she has only one secondary student who might be interested in
attending the Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC program Dr Ewing is aware that academic
information for this student will be required to plan relevant sessions for him and to
evaluate his progress Dr Ewing agreed to be an active participant on the Lake Ridge
21 st CCLC Advisory Council
b Student Record Accessing
To differentiate instruction for students and to monitor progress instructional
personnel must have access to student data Student data reports will be generated by
the Lake Ridge RDS data management system and shared with instructors when
appropriate and with strict attention to privacy Permanent records may be accessed
Page 127
lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 1st CCLC Grant Proposal 201 7
by guidance personnel and the Progran1 Director Reports that will be used for
program evaluation will be generated using STN numbers rather than student names
Repairer of the Breach Ministries will provide student data to the Lake Ridge
Program Director for inclusion in state rep01is and to adjust the program
c Sharing Information on Students with Regular-day School Staffamp Families of
Participating Students and Community Stakeholders
Regular day staff will receive reports on student progress every nine weeks or more
frequently if the need ari ses Since the academic tutors are regular Lake Ridge
licensed teachers the reports may be informal or electronic The report may include
rates of progress and information on content so that the regular staff may coordinate
instruction with afterschool instruction Parents of students from Lake Ridge New
Tech Middle School Calumet New Tech High School and Repairer of the Breach
Ministries will receive information concerning the program and student recruitment in
a variety of ways as described on page 27 In addition every parent will receive a
21 st CCLC Parent Handbook which will include information about requirements for
academic achievement behavior and attendance There will also be program reports
that will be given to parents at regular parent programs Community members may
receive information on the Lake Ridge New Tech Schools website and from articles
in the Hammond Times and the Gay Post-Tribune
d Alignment ofIn-School and Out-of-School Time Efforts to Support Student Success
Lake Ridge Schools has an articulated K-1 2 curriculum which is based on Indiana
Academic Standards The K-1 2 curriculum may be found on the Lake Ridge home
page httpwww lakeridgekl2inus The afterschool program will be based on this
Page 128
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 21st CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
curriculum as well as the high school and middle school School Improvement Plans
which were derived from ISTEP+ PSAT NWEA and other local assessments
4 Programs that Promote Parental Involvement Family Literacy
and Related Educational_Development
Parental involvement in the Lake Ridge community is a challenge Many parents
do not have reliable transportation gas money or they feel uncomfortable because they
themselves were unsuccessful in school Parental involvement with the 21 st CCLC
Program will attack the parental involvement issue on two fronts Parent involvement
with students during the afterschool program and outside ofprogram hours (IAS 8)
Only parents of students enrolled in the 21st CCLC program will participate
Parent Engagement During Afterschool Hours These programs will engage
parents as they interact with their students Side-by-side events may include book
exchanges family game hours science experiments recreational sports and other fun and
educational activities that may be done by parents and students together These activities
will also serve to model for parents how they may help their students at home with
classwork (IAS 13) In addition sessions of a more serious nature may be offered for
parent and child that cover such issues as Internet safety violence prevention and how to
make positive life choices (IAS 13D) Parent classes will cover a variety of topics that
have been suggested on parent questionnaires and during discussions These classes may
include English for non-English speaking parents health and wellness parenting skills
technology recreational sports and literacy
ParentStudent Engagement Outside of Afterschool Hours These occasional
events may include students but will be held outside afterschool hours ( ex weekday
Page 129
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 21st CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
evenings Saturday etc) to accommodate the needs ofworking parents Only parents
who have students enrolled in the Lake Ridge 21st CCLC Program may participate
in these classesworkshops Classes might include literacy math crocheting Zumba
CPR music resume writing computer use and other topics that are requested by the
parents (IAS 15) When appropriate classes will be offered in both Spanish and English
Each school has a gymnasium large classrooms art and music rooms computer labs and
some have science labs so programs that are academic in nature as well as sports and
recreation may be offered The hoursdays of family services will not exceed that of the
student activities
Activities that are held outside of afterschool program time are opportunities to
promote schoolcommunity and family relationships These fun family events can be
educational for the entire family since there are many levels of learning that can be
experienced by family groups working on projects or just having fun together (IAS 9)
The Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC program will work with families and provide referral services
for other issues outside of its capabilities This plan to engage parents is comprehensive
and attainable because it is an extension of the regular school day as opposed to a standshy
alone activity and because it is based on parent requests
bull Offer classes for parents students and parent and student
bull Hold classes for parents at convenient times for working parents
bull Welcome parents daily into the afterschool program to participate with their students
bull Publicize parent opportunities well in advance of the events
bull Hold activities that reflect student and family interests ( communitystudent surveys)

VIII SUPPORT for STRATEGIC PRIORITIES
Lake Ridge Schools has an ar1iculated K-12 curriculum which is based on Indiana
Academic Standards The K-12 curriculum may be found on the Lake Ridge home page
httplakeridgek12inus The afterschool program will be based on this curriculum as well as
on the School Improvement Plans which were derived from ISTEP+ NWEA ECA and other
local assessments All Lake Ridge teachers have received professional development in the
Indiana Academic Standards and are active in developing the curriculum Using this curriculum
and data obtained from state and local assessments afterschool instructors will create learning
experiences for students in the afterschool program which is an extension of the school day
Page I 38
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
Literacy Math and College and Career Readiness will serve as the foundations for the
afterschool academic curricula at the middle and high schools and will be the primary vehicles
through which other skills and content areas are taught Both schools School Improvement
Plans which are on file with the IDOE focus on reading and math In addition College and
Career Readiness will include career exploration 21 st Century skills and diversity
IX SUSTAINABILITY PLAN
The partnerships listed in Section IV will continue after the four-year grant period ends
Instruction will be done by partners volunteers high school students who are working for Service
Learning credits and instructors paid by the district and other grants Other grants such as Titles I
IIA III and IV will provide additional funding for professional development parent involvement
and student remediation It is vital to the success of Lake Ridge New Tech students that there is
an all-out effort to recruit and retain partners for the 21 st CCLC program Although most of the
partners listed in the grant will provide in-kind matches additional funds will be necessary to
maintain the program after the grant period Some personnel costs will be absorbed by Lake
Ridge Lake Ridge New Tech Schools is not in a position from which it can approach improved
student achievement lightly and will do whatever it takes to sustain this program

X SAFETY AND TRANSPORTATION
A Safety is always a priority for Lake Ridge Schools Both the middle and high schools
have multiple trained safety specialists Emergency plans are kept current posted and staff
routinely reviews safety procedures All afterschool staff have on their cell phones an app called
REM4 which has the district safety plan and procedures contacts and an instant notification for
first responders All buildings are equipped with cameras and doors are locked Visitors must be
buzzed in and immediately report to the office The SRO will be available to afterschool
personnel in the event an emergency arises
Page 140
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 215 CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
B All Lake Ridge personnel including substitutes and volunteers undergo background
checks All afterschool instructors and volunteers who are not employees of Lake Ridge Schools
will be required to undergo the same background check The results of the background checks
are maintained in the Lake Ridge Central Office and are private When certified teachers are
required to teach content areas they will be fully licensed in their subject areas DOE teacher
licensing requires certification in CPR and AED

Evidence of Previous Success
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools has operated 21 st CCLC programs for eight years due to
the generous funding from the government From 2010-2014 the program was implemented at
Calumet New Tech High School and in 2015 Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School was added
to the program These after-school programs provide services to high-poverty students who
would otherwise have no safe place to go after school no help with homework or the opportunity
to take part in enrichment classes and in some cases little to eat The Lake Ridge afterschool
program provides all of that dinner homework help fun socialization and a ride home
While mentioning roadblocks may not be the best way to start describing the stellar
accomplishments of the Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC programs there are factors that must be considered
1 The rate of transiency for Lake Ridge Schools varies from 40-60 This means that
it is not easy to amass 2- and 3-year data for students who are here today and gone
tomorrow In fact it is difficult even to achieve RAP status for our students which
makes the fact that both the middle and high school programs have made their RAP
numbers each year even more remarkable There was a 50 gain in ISTEP passage
in the middle and high schools combined for 3-year RAPs
2 After-school programming in secondary schools is difficult due to student
participation in sports clubs etc
3 Parent participation is difficult due to lack of transportation and stability in the home
Calumet New Tech High School
2014-2015 All Short-Term Performance Measures (STPM) were met and exceeded projections
2015-2016 All STPM were met with the exception of graduation for which the projection was
90 and the actual was 89
Page 160
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
2016-2017 Two STPM fell slightly short ofprojection The other STPM exceeded projection by 6
RAP Status The attendance target for the last 3 years was 70 RAPs The actual number of
RAPs exceeded the target for all three years
The success of the high school program included College and Career Readiness activities
that included a speaker panel and multiple college tours to which parents were invited F AFSA
nights were held for students and their parents Opportunities for Service Learning were provided
by allowing high school students to lead middle school activities There were also well-attended
enrichment activities that included music dance theater archery and other sports Students
attended a STEM camp at the Duneland Nature Center and parents took part in Strengthening
Families and EL parent night After-school students also attended and served as student
ambassadors at the Indiana Youth Institute state conference All of this was in addition to the
intensive tutoring and homework help that was offered The ISTEP and ECA Boot Camps
were well attended
Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School
2014-2015 STPMs fell slightly short of the projections
2015-2016 STPMS fell slightly short of the projections
2016-2017 STPMs exceeded the projections by at least 50
The disparity ofSTPMprojection and actual was due to the district switchingfrom
Acuity to NWEA Accurate comparable data was not available
RAP Status The projected RAP number was 81 for the last three years The first year RAP
projection was met at 81 The second year the RAP count increased to 111 and the third
year was 91

and 22 expulsions 6 involving drugs andor firearms Currently there are 20 known
students on active probation in the district as per the Lake County Sheriffs Office
Clearly based on the above data Lake Ridge Schools has a critical need for an
afterschool community learning center Lake Ridge Schools is the hub of the
community and there is an urgent need for a place for the children to go after school
ISTEP+ scores are for the most part below the state average Without adequate
remediation and additional learning time students will be locked into an endless cycle of
catch up Currently 532 of students in the middle school and 65 of the high
school students read below grade level as per NWEA

a Equitable Service for Non-Public Schools
Students from Repairer of the Breach Ministries may take part in 21 st CCLC activities
(Attachment H p 9) During the Fall of2017 several in-person planning sessions and
telephone conversations took place with Lake Ridge administrators and Dr Mildred
Ewing Principal of Repairer of the Breach Ministries to plan for the attendance of her
students At present she has only one secondary student who might be interested in
attending the Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC program Dr Ewing is aware that academic
information for this student will be required to plan relevant sessions for him and to
evaluate his progress Dr Ewing agreed to be an active participant on the Lake Ridge
21 st CCLC Advisory Council

personnel must have access to student data Student data reports will be generated by
the Lake Ridge RDS data management system and shared with instructors when
appropriate and with strict attention to privacy Permanent records may be accessed
Page 127
lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 1st CCLC Grant Proposal 201 7
by guidance personnel and the Progran1 Director Reports that will be used for
program evaluation will be generated using STN numbers rather than student names
Repairer of the Breach Ministries will provide student data to the Lake Ridge
Program Director for inclusion in state rep01is and to adjust the program
c Sharing Information on Students with Regular-day School Staffamp Families of
Participating Students and Community Stakeholders
Regular day staff will receive reports on student progress every nine weeks or more
frequently if the need ari ses Since the academic tutors are regular Lake Ridge
licensed teachers the reports may be informal or electronic The report may include
rates of progress and information on content so that the regular staff may coordinate
instruction with afterschool instruction Parents of students from Lake Ridge New
Tech Middle School Calumet New Tech High School and Repairer of the Breach
Ministries will receive information concerning the program and student recruitment in
a variety of ways as described on page 27 In addition every parent will receive a
21 st CCLC Parent Handbook which will include information about requirements for
academic achievement behavior and attendance There will also be program reports
that will be given to parents at regular parent programs Community members may
receive information on the Lake Ridge New Tech Schools website and from articles

page httpwww lakeridgekl2inus The afterschool program will be based on this
Page 128
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 21st CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
curriculum as well as the high school and middle school School Improvement Plans
which were derived from ISTEP+ PSAT NWEA and other local assessments
4 Programs that Promote Parental Involvement Family Literacy
and Related Educational_Development
Parental involvement in the Lake Ridge community is a challenge Many parents
do not have reliable transportation gas money or they feel uncomfortable because they
themselves were unsuccessful in school Parental involvement with the 21 st CCLC
Program will attack the parental involvement issue on two fronts Parent involvement
with students during the afterschool program and outside ofprogram hours (IAS 8)
Only parents of students enrolled in the 21st CCLC program will participate
Parent Engagement During Afterschool Hours These programs will engage
parents as they interact with their students Side-by-side events may include book
exchanges family game hours science experiments recreational sports and other fun and
educational activities that may be done by parents and students together These activities
will also serve to model for parents how they may help their students at home with
classwork (IAS 13) In addition sessions of a more serious nature may be offered for
parent and child that cover such issues as Internet safety violence prevention and how to
make positive life choices (IAS 13D) Parent classes will cover a variety of topics that
have been suggested on parent questionnaires and during discussions These classes may
include English for non-English speaking parents health and wellness parenting skills
technology recreational sports and literacy
ParentStudent Engagement Outside of Afterschool Hours These occasional
events may include students but will be held outside afterschool hours ( ex weekday
Page 129
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 21st CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
evenings Saturday etc) to accommodate the needs ofworking parents Only parents
who have students enrolled in the Lake Ridge 21st CCLC Program may participate
in these classesworkshops Classes might include literacy math crocheting Zumba
CPR music resume writing computer use and other topics that are requested by the
parents (IAS 15) When appropriate classes will be offered in both Spanish and English
Each school has a gymnasium large classrooms art and music rooms computer labs and
some have science labs so programs that are academic in nature as well as sports and
recreation may be offered The hoursdays of family services will not exceed that of the
student activities
Activities that are held outside of afterschool program time are opportunities to
promote schoolcommunity and family relationships These fun family events can be
educational for the entire family since there are many levels of learning that can be
experienced by family groups working on projects or just having fun together (IAS 9)
The Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC program will work with families and provide referral services
for other issues outside of its capabilities This plan to engage parents is comprehensive
and attainable because it is an extension of the regular school day as opposed to a standshy
alone activity and because it is based on parent requests
bull Offer classes for parents students and parent and student
bull Hold classes for parents at convenient times for working parents
bull Welcome parents daily into the afterschool program to participate with their students
bull Publicize parent opportunities well in advance of the events
bull Hold activities that reflect student and family interests ( communitystudent surveys)

Evidence of Previous Success
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools has operated 21 st CCLC programs for eight years due to
the generous funding from the government From 2010-2014 the program was implemented at
Calumet New Tech High School and in 2015 Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School was added
to the program These after-school programs provide services to high-poverty students who
would otherwise have no safe place to go after school no help with homework or the opportunity
to take part in enrichment classes and in some cases little to eat The Lake Ridge afterschool
program provides all of that dinner homework help fun socialization and a ride home
While mentioning roadblocks may not be the best way to start describing the stellar
accomplishments of the Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC programs there are factors that must be considered
1 The rate of transiency for Lake Ridge Schools varies from 40-60 This means that
it is not easy to amass 2- and 3-year data for students who are here today and gone
tomorrow In fact it is difficult even to achieve RAP status for our students which
makes the fact that both the middle and high school programs have made their RAP
numbers each year even more remarkable There was a 50 gain in ISTEP passage
in the middle and high schools combined for 3-year RAPs
2 After-school programming in secondary schools is difficult due to student
participation in sports clubs etc
3 Parent participation is difficult due to lack of transportation and stability in the home
Calumet New Tech High School
2014-2015 All Short-Term Performance Measures (STPM) were met and exceeded projections
2015-2016 All STPM were met with the exception of graduation for which the projection was
90 and the actual was 89
Page 160
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
2016-2017 Two STPM fell slightly short ofprojection The other STPM exceeded projection by 6
RAP Status The attendance target for the last 3 years was 70 RAPs The actual number of
RAPs exceeded the target for all three years
The success of the high school program included College and Career Readiness activities
that included a speaker panel and multiple college tours to which parents were invited F AFSA
nights were held for students and their parents Opportunities for Service Learning were provided
by allowing high school students to lead middle school activities There were also well-attended
enrichment activities that included music dance theater archery and other sports Students
attended a STEM camp at the Duneland Nature Center and parents took part in Strengthening
Families and EL parent night After-school students also attended and served as student
ambassadors at the Indiana Youth Institute state conference All of this was in addition to the
intensive tutoring and homework help that was offered The ISTEP and ECA Boot Camps
were well attended
Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School
2014-2015 STPMs fell slightly short of the projections
2015-2016 STPMS fell slightly short of the projections
2016-2017 STPMs exceeded the projections by at least 50
The disparity ofSTPMprojection and actual was due to the district switchingfrom
Acuity to NWEA Accurate comparable data was not available
RAP Status The projected RAP number was 81 for the last three years The first year RAP
projection was met at 81 The second year the RAP count increased to 111 and the third
year was 91
Page 161
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 1 CCLC Grant Proposal 201 7
Middle School students and their parents attended college tours and heard guest speakers
on College and Career Readiness Enrichment activities included an award-winning
photography club archery foreign language Girls on the Run Camp Invention and a cooking
club A Jr Police Program which was led by a Lake County Sheriff Students attended a STEM
camp at the Duneland Nature Center The middle school held several programs and a Spring
Exhibition to showcase after-school student work to parents and the community Academic
programs included tutoring and homework help as well as ISTEP Jumpstart Lake Ridge New

Page 127
lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 1st CCLC Grant Proposal 201 7
by guidance personnel and the Progran1 Director Reports that will be used for
program evaluation will be generated using STN numbers rather than student names
Repairer of the Breach Ministries will provide student data to the Lake Ridge
Program Director for inclusion in state rep01is and to adjust the program
c Sharing Information on Students with Regular-day School Staffamp Families of
Participating Students and Community Stakeholders
Regular day staff will receive reports on student progress every nine weeks or more
frequently if the need ari ses Since the academic tutors are regular Lake Ridge
licensed teachers the reports may be informal or electronic The report may include
rates of progress and information on content so that the regular staff may coordinate
instruction with afterschool instruction Parents of students from Lake Ridge New
Tech Middle School Calumet New Tech High School and Repairer of the Breach
Ministries will receive information concerning the program and student recruitment in
a variety of ways as described on page 27 In addition every parent will receive a
21 st CCLC Parent Handbook which will include information about requirements for
academic achievement behavior and attendance There will also be program reports
that will be given to parents at regular parent programs Community members may

Page 128
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 21st CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
curriculum as well as the high school and middle school School Improvement Plans
which were derived from ISTEP+ PSAT NWEA and other local assessments
4 Programs that Promote Parental Involvement Family Literacy
and Related Educational_Development
Parental involvement in the Lake Ridge community is a challenge Many parents
do not have reliable transportation gas money or they feel uncomfortable because they
themselves were unsuccessful in school Parental involvement with the 21 st CCLC
Program will attack the parental involvement issue on two fronts Parent involvement
with students during the afterschool program and outside ofprogram hours (IAS 8)
Only parents of students enrolled in the 21st CCLC program will participate
Parent Engagement During Afterschool Hours These programs will engage
parents as they interact with their students Side-by-side events may include book
exchanges family game hours science experiments recreational sports and other fun and
educational activities that may be done by parents and students together These activities
will also serve to model for parents how they may help their students at home with
classwork (IAS 13) In addition sessions of a more serious nature may be offered for
parent and child that cover such issues as Internet safety violence prevention and how to
make positive life choices (IAS 13D) Parent classes will cover a variety of topics that
have been suggested on parent questionnaires and during discussions These classes may
include English for non-English speaking parents health and wellness parenting skills
technology recreational sports and literacy
ParentStudent Engagement Outside of Afterschool Hours These occasional
events may include students but will be held outside afterschool hours ( ex weekday
Page 129
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 21st CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
evenings Saturday etc) to accommodate the needs ofworking parents Only parents
who have students enrolled in the Lake Ridge 21st CCLC Program may participate
in these classesworkshops Classes might include literacy math crocheting Zumba
CPR music resume writing computer use and other topics that are requested by the
parents (IAS 15) When appropriate classes will be offered in both Spanish and English
Each school has a gymnasium large classrooms art and music rooms computer labs and
some have science labs so programs that are academic in nature as well as sports and
recreation may be offered The hoursdays of family services will not exceed that of the
student activities
Activities that are held outside of afterschool program time are opportunities to
promote schoolcommunity and family relationships These fun family events can be
educational for the entire family since there are many levels of learning that can be
experienced by family groups working on projects or just having fun together (IAS 9)
The Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC program will work with families and provide referral services
for other issues outside of its capabilities This plan to engage parents is comprehensive
and attainable because it is an extension of the regular school day as opposed to a standshy
alone activity and because it is based on parent requests
bull Offer classes for parents students and parent and student
bull Hold classes for parents at convenient times for working parents
bull Welcome parents daily into the afterschool program to participate with their students
bull Publicize parent opportunities well in advance of the events
bull Hold activities that reflect student and family interests ( communitystudent surveys)

Evidence of Previous Success
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools has operated 21 st CCLC programs for eight years due to
the generous funding from the government From 2010-2014 the program was implemented at
Calumet New Tech High School and in 2015 Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School was added
to the program These after-school programs provide services to high-poverty students who
would otherwise have no safe place to go after school no help with homework or the opportunity
to take part in enrichment classes and in some cases little to eat The Lake Ridge afterschool
program provides all of that dinner homework help fun socialization and a ride home
While mentioning roadblocks may not be the best way to start describing the stellar
accomplishments of the Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC programs there are factors that must be considered
1 The rate of transiency for Lake Ridge Schools varies from 40-60 This means that
it is not easy to amass 2- and 3-year data for students who are here today and gone
tomorrow In fact it is difficult even to achieve RAP status for our students which
makes the fact that both the middle and high school programs have made their RAP
numbers each year even more remarkable There was a 50 gain in ISTEP passage
in the middle and high schools combined for 3-year RAPs
2 After-school programming in secondary schools is difficult due to student
participation in sports clubs etc
3 Parent participation is difficult due to lack of transportation and stability in the home
Calumet New Tech High School
2014-2015 All Short-Term Performance Measures (STPM) were met and exceeded projections
2015-2016 All STPM were met with the exception of graduation for which the projection was
90 and the actual was 89
Page 160
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
2016-2017 Two STPM fell slightly short ofprojection The other STPM exceeded projection by 6
RAP Status The attendance target for the last 3 years was 70 RAPs The actual number of
RAPs exceeded the target for all three years
The success of the high school program included College and Career Readiness activities
that included a speaker panel and multiple college tours to which parents were invited F AFSA
nights were held for students and their parents Opportunities for Service Learning were provided
by allowing high school students to lead middle school activities There were also well-attended
enrichment activities that included music dance theater archery and other sports Students
attended a STEM camp at the Duneland Nature Center and parents took part in Strengthening
Families and EL parent night After-school students also attended and served as student
ambassadors at the Indiana Youth Institute state conference All of this was in addition to the
intensive tutoring and homework help that was offered The ISTEP and ECA Boot Camps
were well attended
Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School
2014-2015 STPMs fell slightly short of the projections
2015-2016 STPMS fell slightly short of the projections
2016-2017 STPMs exceeded the projections by at least 50
The disparity ofSTPMprojection and actual was due to the district switchingfrom
Acuity to NWEA Accurate comparable data was not available
RAP Status The projected RAP number was 81 for the last three years The first year RAP
projection was met at 81 The second year the RAP count increased to 111 and the third
year was 91
Page 161
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 1 CCLC Grant Proposal 201 7
Middle School students and their parents attended college tours and heard guest speakers
on College and Career Readiness Enrichment activities included an award-winning
photography club archery foreign language Girls on the Run Camp Invention and a cooking
club A Jr Police Program which was led by a Lake County Sheriff Students attended a STEM
camp at the Duneland Nature Center The middle school held several programs and a Spring
Exhibition to showcase after-school student work to parents and the community Academic
programs included tutoring and homework help as well as ISTEP Jumpstart Lake Ridge New

licensed teachers the reports may be informal or electronic The report may include

Tech Middle School Calumet New Tech High School and Repairer of the Breach
Ministries will receive information concerning the program and student recruitment in
a variety of ways as described on page 27 In addition every parent will receive a

Page 128
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 21st CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
curriculum as well as the high school and middle school School Improvement Plans
which were derived from ISTEP+ PSAT NWEA and other local assessments
4 Programs that Promote Parental Involvement Family Literacy
and Related Educational_Development
Parental involvement in the Lake Ridge community is a challenge Many parents
do not have reliable transportation gas money or they feel uncomfortable because they
themselves were unsuccessful in school Parental involvement with the 21 st CCLC
Program will attack the parental involvement issue on two fronts Parent involvement
with students during the afterschool program and outside ofprogram hours (IAS 8)
Only parents of students enrolled in the 21st CCLC program will participate
Parent Engagement During Afterschool Hours These programs will engage
parents as they interact with their students Side-by-side events may include book
exchanges family game hours science experiments recreational sports and other fun and
educational activities that may be done by parents and students together These activities
will also serve to model for parents how they may help their students at home with
classwork (IAS 13) In addition sessions of a more serious nature may be offered for
parent and child that cover such issues as Internet safety violence prevention and how to
make positive life choices (IAS 13D) Parent classes will cover a variety of topics that
have been suggested on parent questionnaires and during discussions These classes may
include English for non-English speaking parents health and wellness parenting skills
technology recreational sports and literacy
ParentStudent Engagement Outside of Afterschool Hours These occasional
events may include students but will be held outside afterschool hours ( ex weekday
Page 129
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 21st CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
evenings Saturday etc) to accommodate the needs ofworking parents Only parents
who have students enrolled in the Lake Ridge 21st CCLC Program may participate
in these classesworkshops Classes might include literacy math crocheting Zumba
CPR music resume writing computer use and other topics that are requested by the
parents (IAS 15) When appropriate classes will be offered in both Spanish and English
Each school has a gymnasium large classrooms art and music rooms computer labs and
some have science labs so programs that are academic in nature as well as sports and
recreation may be offered The hoursdays of family services will not exceed that of the
student activities
Activities that are held outside of afterschool program time are opportunities to
promote schoolcommunity and family relationships These fun family events can be
educational for the entire family since there are many levels of learning that can be
experienced by family groups working on projects or just having fun together (IAS 9)
The Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC program will work with families and provide referral services
for other issues outside of its capabilities This plan to engage parents is comprehensive
and attainable because it is an extension of the regular school day as opposed to a standshy
alone activity and because it is based on parent requests
bull Offer classes for parents students and parent and student
bull Hold classes for parents at convenient times for working parents
bull Welcome parents daily into the afterschool program to participate with their students
bull Publicize parent opportunities well in advance of the events
bull Hold activities that reflect student and family interests ( communitystudent surveys)

Evidence of Previous Success
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools has operated 21 st CCLC programs for eight years due to
the generous funding from the government From 2010-2014 the program was implemented at
Calumet New Tech High School and in 2015 Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School was added
to the program These after-school programs provide services to high-poverty students who
would otherwise have no safe place to go after school no help with homework or the opportunity
to take part in enrichment classes and in some cases little to eat The Lake Ridge afterschool
program provides all of that dinner homework help fun socialization and a ride home
While mentioning roadblocks may not be the best way to start describing the stellar
accomplishments of the Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC programs there are factors that must be considered
1 The rate of transiency for Lake Ridge Schools varies from 40-60 This means that
it is not easy to amass 2- and 3-year data for students who are here today and gone
tomorrow In fact it is difficult even to achieve RAP status for our students which
makes the fact that both the middle and high school programs have made their RAP
numbers each year even more remarkable There was a 50 gain in ISTEP passage
in the middle and high schools combined for 3-year RAPs
2 After-school programming in secondary schools is difficult due to student
participation in sports clubs etc
3 Parent participation is difficult due to lack of transportation and stability in the home
Calumet New Tech High School
2014-2015 All Short-Term Performance Measures (STPM) were met and exceeded projections
2015-2016 All STPM were met with the exception of graduation for which the projection was
90 and the actual was 89
Page 160
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
2016-2017 Two STPM fell slightly short ofprojection The other STPM exceeded projection by 6
RAP Status The attendance target for the last 3 years was 70 RAPs The actual number of
RAPs exceeded the target for all three years
The success of the high school program included College and Career Readiness activities
that included a speaker panel and multiple college tours to which parents were invited F AFSA
nights were held for students and their parents Opportunities for Service Learning were provided
by allowing high school students to lead middle school activities There were also well-attended
enrichment activities that included music dance theater archery and other sports Students
attended a STEM camp at the Duneland Nature Center and parents took part in Strengthening
Families and EL parent night After-school students also attended and served as student
ambassadors at the Indiana Youth Institute state conference All of this was in addition to the
intensive tutoring and homework help that was offered The ISTEP and ECA Boot Camps
were well attended
Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School
2014-2015 STPMs fell slightly short of the projections
2015-2016 STPMS fell slightly short of the projections
2016-2017 STPMs exceeded the projections by at least 50
The disparity ofSTPMprojection and actual was due to the district switchingfrom
Acuity to NWEA Accurate comparable data was not available
RAP Status The projected RAP number was 81 for the last three years The first year RAP
projection was met at 81 The second year the RAP count increased to 111 and the third
year was 91

Middle School students and their parents attended college tours and heard guest speakers
on College and Career Readiness Enrichment activities included an award-winning
photography club archery foreign language Girls on the Run Camp Invention and a cooking
club A Jr Police Program which was led by a Lake County Sheriff Students attended a STEM
camp at the Duneland Nature Center The middle school held several programs and a Spring
Exhibition to showcase after-school student work to parents and the community Academic
programs included tutoring and homework help as well as ISTEP Jumpstart Lake Ridge New

4 Programs that Promote Parental Involvement Family Literacy
and Related Educational_Development
Parental involvement in the Lake Ridge community is a challenge Many parents
do not have reliable transportation gas money or they feel uncomfortable because they
themselves were unsuccessful in school Parental involvement with the 21 st CCLC
Program will attack the parental involvement issue on two fronts Parent involvement
with students during the afterschool program and outside ofprogram hours (IAS 8)
Only parents of students enrolled in the 21st CCLC program will participate
Parent Engagement During Afterschool Hours These programs will engage
parents as they interact with their students Side-by-side events may include book
exchanges family game hours science experiments recreational sports and other fun and
educational activities that may be done by parents and students together These activities
will also serve to model for parents how they may help their students at home with
classwork (IAS 13) In addition sessions of a more serious nature may be offered for
parent and child that cover such issues as Internet safety violence prevention and how to
make positive life choices (IAS 13D) Parent classes will cover a variety of topics that
have been suggested on parent questionnaires and during discussions These classes may
include English for non-English speaking parents health and wellness parenting skills
technology recreational sports and literacy
ParentStudent Engagement Outside of Afterschool Hours These occasional
events may include students but will be held outside afterschool hours ( ex weekday
Page 129
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 21st CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
evenings Saturday etc) to accommodate the needs ofworking parents Only parents
who have students enrolled in the Lake Ridge 21st CCLC Program may participate
in these classesworkshops Classes might include literacy math crocheting Zumba
CPR music resume writing computer use and other topics that are requested by the
parents (IAS 15) When appropriate classes will be offered in both Spanish and English
Each school has a gymnasium large classrooms art and music rooms computer labs and
some have science labs so programs that are academic in nature as well as sports and
recreation may be offered The hoursdays of family services will not exceed that of the
student activities
Activities that are held outside of afterschool program time are opportunities to
promote schoolcommunity and family relationships These fun family events can be
educational for the entire family since there are many levels of learning that can be
experienced by family groups working on projects or just having fun together (IAS 9)
The Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC program will work with families and provide referral services
for other issues outside of its capabilities This plan to engage parents is comprehensive
and attainable because it is an extension of the regular school day as opposed to a standshy
alone activity and because it is based on parent requests
bull Offer classes for parents students and parent and student
bull Hold classes for parents at convenient times for working parents
bull Welcome parents daily into the afterschool program to participate with their students
bull Publicize parent opportunities well in advance of the events
bull Hold activities that reflect student and family interests ( communitystudent surveys)

Evidence of Previous Success
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools has operated 21 st CCLC programs for eight years due to
the generous funding from the government From 2010-2014 the program was implemented at
Calumet New Tech High School and in 2015 Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School was added
to the program These after-school programs provide services to high-poverty students who
would otherwise have no safe place to go after school no help with homework or the opportunity
to take part in enrichment classes and in some cases little to eat The Lake Ridge afterschool
program provides all of that dinner homework help fun socialization and a ride home
While mentioning roadblocks may not be the best way to start describing the stellar
accomplishments of the Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC programs there are factors that must be considered
1 The rate of transiency for Lake Ridge Schools varies from 40-60 This means that
it is not easy to amass 2- and 3-year data for students who are here today and gone
tomorrow In fact it is difficult even to achieve RAP status for our students which
makes the fact that both the middle and high school programs have made their RAP
numbers each year even more remarkable There was a 50 gain in ISTEP passage
in the middle and high schools combined for 3-year RAPs
2 After-school programming in secondary schools is difficult due to student
participation in sports clubs etc
3 Parent participation is difficult due to lack of transportation and stability in the home
Calumet New Tech High School
2014-2015 All Short-Term Performance Measures (STPM) were met and exceeded projections
2015-2016 All STPM were met with the exception of graduation for which the projection was
90 and the actual was 89
Page 160
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
2016-2017 Two STPM fell slightly short ofprojection The other STPM exceeded projection by 6
RAP Status The attendance target for the last 3 years was 70 RAPs The actual number of
RAPs exceeded the target for all three years
The success of the high school program included College and Career Readiness activities
that included a speaker panel and multiple college tours to which parents were invited F AFSA
nights were held for students and their parents Opportunities for Service Learning were provided
by allowing high school students to lead middle school activities There were also well-attended
enrichment activities that included music dance theater archery and other sports Students
attended a STEM camp at the Duneland Nature Center and parents took part in Strengthening
Families and EL parent night After-school students also attended and served as student
ambassadors at the Indiana Youth Institute state conference All of this was in addition to the
intensive tutoring and homework help that was offered The ISTEP and ECA Boot Camps
were well attended
Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School
2014-2015 STPMs fell slightly short of the projections
2015-2016 STPMS fell slightly short of the projections
2016-2017 STPMs exceeded the projections by at least 50
The disparity ofSTPMprojection and actual was due to the district switchingfrom
Acuity to NWEA Accurate comparable data was not available
RAP Status The projected RAP number was 81 for the last three years The first year RAP
projection was met at 81 The second year the RAP count increased to 111 and the third
year was 91

Middle School students and their parents attended college tours and heard guest speakers
on College and Career Readiness Enrichment activities included an award-winning
photography club archery foreign language Girls on the Run Camp Invention and a cooking
club A Jr Police Program which was led by a Lake County Sheriff Students attended a STEM
camp at the Duneland Nature Center The middle school held several programs and a Spring
Exhibition to showcase after-school student work to parents and the community Academic
programs included tutoring and homework help as well as ISTEP Jumpstart Lake Ridge New

Activities that are held outside of afterschool program time are opportunities to
promote schoolcommunity and family relationships These fun family events can be
educational for the entire family since there are many levels of learning that can be
experienced by family groups working on projects or just having fun together (IAS 9)
The Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC program will work with families and provide referral services
for other issues outside of its capabilities This plan to engage parents is comprehensive
and attainable because it is an extension of the regular school day as opposed to a standshy
alone activity and because it is based on parent requests

bull Hold classes for parents at convenient times for working parents
bull Welcome parents daily into the afterschool program to participate with their students

Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
Evidence of Previous Success
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools has operated 21 st CCLC programs for eight years due to
the generous funding from the government From 2010-2014 the program was implemented at
Calumet New Tech High School and in 2015 Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School was added
to the program These after-school programs provide services to high-poverty students who
would otherwise have no safe place to go after school no help with homework or the opportunity
to take part in enrichment classes and in some cases little to eat The Lake Ridge afterschool
program provides all of that dinner homework help fun socialization and a ride home
While mentioning roadblocks may not be the best way to start describing the stellar
accomplishments of the Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC programs there are factors that must be considered
1 The rate of transiency for Lake Ridge Schools varies from 40-60 This means that
it is not easy to amass 2- and 3-year data for students who are here today and gone
tomorrow In fact it is difficult even to achieve RAP status for our students which
makes the fact that both the middle and high school programs have made their RAP
numbers each year even more remarkable There was a 50 gain in ISTEP passage
in the middle and high schools combined for 3-year RAPs
2 After-school programming in secondary schools is difficult due to student
participation in sports clubs etc
3 Parent participation is difficult due to lack of transportation and stability in the home
Calumet New Tech High School
2014-2015 All Short-Term Performance Measures (STPM) were met and exceeded projections
2015-2016 All STPM were met with the exception of graduation for which the projection was
90 and the actual was 89
Page 160
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
2016-2017 Two STPM fell slightly short ofprojection The other STPM exceeded projection by 6
RAP Status The attendance target for the last 3 years was 70 RAPs The actual number of
RAPs exceeded the target for all three years
The success of the high school program included College and Career Readiness activities
that included a speaker panel and multiple college tours to which parents were invited F AFSA
nights were held for students and their parents Opportunities for Service Learning were provided
by allowing high school students to lead middle school activities There were also well-attended
enrichment activities that included music dance theater archery and other sports Students
attended a STEM camp at the Duneland Nature Center and parents took part in Strengthening
Families and EL parent night After-school students also attended and served as student
ambassadors at the Indiana Youth Institute state conference All of this was in addition to the
intensive tutoring and homework help that was offered The ISTEP and ECA Boot Camps
were well attended
Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School
2014-2015 STPMs fell slightly short of the projections
2015-2016 STPMS fell slightly short of the projections
2016-2017 STPMs exceeded the projections by at least 50
The disparity ofSTPMprojection and actual was due to the district switchingfrom
Acuity to NWEA Accurate comparable data was not available
RAP Status The projected RAP number was 81 for the last three years The first year RAP
projection was met at 81 The second year the RAP count increased to 111 and the third
year was 91

Middle School students and their parents attended college tours and heard guest speakers
on College and Career Readiness Enrichment activities included an award-winning
photography club archery foreign language Girls on the Run Camp Invention and a cooking
club A Jr Police Program which was led by a Lake County Sheriff Students attended a STEM
camp at the Duneland Nature Center The middle school held several programs and a Spring
Exhibition to showcase after-school student work to parents and the community Academic

evaluate the programs at the middle and high schools Dr Venditti was a literacy professor at St
Joseph College in Rensselaer IN and an experienced 21 st CCLC evaluator She also will provide

have been met yearly and at the end of the four years Her findings will be sent to IDOE in the
annual and final reports
C Use ofResultsfor Program Improvement
The use of evaluation and assessment as well as the use of available resources aligns
with the Indiana Afterschool Standards because it establishes connection with schools and
parents about individual student academic needs and learning goals (IAS 13B)

CCLC staff as well as the regular school day staff The regular classroom teachers will
communicate the needs of the students with the 21 st CCLC staff who will then match the

Evidence of Previous Success
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools has operated 21 st CCLC programs for eight years due to
the generous funding from the government From 2010-2014 the program was implemented at
Calumet New Tech High School and in 2015 Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School was added
to the program These after-school programs provide services to high-poverty students who
would otherwise have no safe place to go after school no help with homework or the opportunity
to take part in enrichment classes and in some cases little to eat The Lake Ridge afterschool
program provides all of that dinner homework help fun socialization and a ride home
While mentioning roadblocks may not be the best way to start describing the stellar
accomplishments of the Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC programs there are factors that must be considered
1 The rate of transiency for Lake Ridge Schools varies from 40-60 This means that
it is not easy to amass 2- and 3-year data for students who are here today and gone
tomorrow In fact it is difficult even to achieve RAP status for our students which
makes the fact that both the middle and high school programs have made their RAP
numbers each year even more remarkable There was a 50 gain in ISTEP passage
in the middle and high schools combined for 3-year RAPs
2 After-school programming in secondary schools is difficult due to student
participation in sports clubs etc
3 Parent participation is difficult due to lack of transportation and stability in the home
Calumet New Tech High School
2014-2015 All Short-Term Performance Measures (STPM) were met and exceeded projections
2015-2016 All STPM were met with the exception of graduation for which the projection was
90 and the actual was 89
Page 160
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
2016-2017 Two STPM fell slightly short ofprojection The other STPM exceeded projection by 6
RAP Status The attendance target for the last 3 years was 70 RAPs The actual number of
RAPs exceeded the target for all three years
The success of the high school program included College and Career Readiness activities
that included a speaker panel and multiple college tours to which parents were invited F AFSA
nights were held for students and their parents Opportunities for Service Learning were provided
by allowing high school students to lead middle school activities There were also well-attended
enrichment activities that included music dance theater archery and other sports Students
attended a STEM camp at the Duneland Nature Center and parents took part in Strengthening
Families and EL parent night After-school students also attended and served as student
ambassadors at the Indiana Youth Institute state conference All of this was in addition to the
intensive tutoring and homework help that was offered The ISTEP and ECA Boot Camps
were well attended
Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School
2014-2015 STPMs fell slightly short of the projections
2015-2016 STPMS fell slightly short of the projections
2016-2017 STPMs exceeded the projections by at least 50
The disparity ofSTPMprojection and actual was due to the district switchingfrom
Acuity to NWEA Accurate comparable data was not available
RAP Status The projected RAP number was 81 for the last three years The first year RAP
projection was met at 81 The second year the RAP count increased to 111 and the third
year was 91

Middle School students and their parents attended college tours and heard guest speakers
on College and Career Readiness Enrichment activities included an award-winning
photography club archery foreign language Girls on the Run Camp Invention and a cooking
club A Jr Police Program which was led by a Lake County Sheriff Students attended a STEM
camp at the Duneland Nature Center The middle school held several programs and a Spring
Exhibition to showcase after-school student work to parents and the community Academic
programs included tutoring and homework help as well as ISTEP Jumpstart Lake Ridge New

VIII SUPPORT for STRATEGIC PRIORITIES
Lake Ridge Schools has an ar1iculated K-12 curriculum which is based on Indiana
Academic Standards The K-12 curriculum may be found on the Lake Ridge home page
httplakeridgek12inus The afterschool program will be based on this curriculum as well as
on the School Improvement Plans which were derived from ISTEP+ NWEA ECA and other
local assessments All Lake Ridge teachers have received professional development in the
Indiana Academic Standards and are active in developing the curriculum Using this curriculum
and data obtained from state and local assessments afterschool instructors will create learning
experiences for students in the afterschool program which is an extension of the school day
Page I 38
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
Literacy Math and College and Career Readiness will serve as the foundations for the
afterschool academic curricula at the middle and high schools and will be the primary vehicles
through which other skills and content areas are taught Both schools School Improvement
Plans which are on file with the IDOE focus on reading and math In addition College and
Career Readiness will include career exploration 21 st Century skills and diversity
IX SUSTAINABILITY PLAN
The partnerships listed in Section IV will continue after the four-year grant period ends
Instruction will be done by partners volunteers high school students who are working for Service
Learning credits and instructors paid by the district and other grants Other grants such as Titles I
IIA III and IV will provide additional funding for professional development parent involvement
and student remediation It is vital to the success of Lake Ridge New Tech students that there is
an all-out effort to recruit and retain partners for the 21 st CCLC program Although most of the
partners listed in the grant will provide in-kind matches additional funds will be necessary to
maintain the program after the grant period Some personnel costs will be absorbed by Lake
Ridge Lake Ridge New Tech Schools is not in a position from which it can approach improved
student achievement lightly and will do whatever it takes to sustain this program

Evidence of Previous Success
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools has operated 21 st CCLC programs for eight years due to
the generous funding from the government From 2010-2014 the program was implemented at
Calumet New Tech High School and in 2015 Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School was added
to the program These after-school programs provide services to high-poverty students who
would otherwise have no safe place to go after school no help with homework or the opportunity
to take part in enrichment classes and in some cases little to eat The Lake Ridge afterschool
program provides all of that dinner homework help fun socialization and a ride home
While mentioning roadblocks may not be the best way to start describing the stellar
accomplishments of the Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC programs there are factors that must be considered
1 The rate of transiency for Lake Ridge Schools varies from 40-60 This means that
it is not easy to amass 2- and 3-year data for students who are here today and gone
tomorrow In fact it is difficult even to achieve RAP status for our students which
makes the fact that both the middle and high school programs have made their RAP
numbers each year even more remarkable There was a 50 gain in ISTEP passage
in the middle and high schools combined for 3-year RAPs
2 After-school programming in secondary schools is difficult due to student
participation in sports clubs etc
3 Parent participation is difficult due to lack of transportation and stability in the home
Calumet New Tech High School
2014-2015 All Short-Term Performance Measures (STPM) were met and exceeded projections
2015-2016 All STPM were met with the exception of graduation for which the projection was
90 and the actual was 89
Page 160
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
2016-2017 Two STPM fell slightly short ofprojection The other STPM exceeded projection by 6
RAP Status The attendance target for the last 3 years was 70 RAPs The actual number of
RAPs exceeded the target for all three years
The success of the high school program included College and Career Readiness activities
that included a speaker panel and multiple college tours to which parents were invited F AFSA
nights were held for students and their parents Opportunities for Service Learning were provided
by allowing high school students to lead middle school activities There were also well-attended
enrichment activities that included music dance theater archery and other sports Students
attended a STEM camp at the Duneland Nature Center and parents took part in Strengthening
Families and EL parent night After-school students also attended and served as student
ambassadors at the Indiana Youth Institute state conference All of this was in addition to the
intensive tutoring and homework help that was offered The ISTEP and ECA Boot Camps
were well attended
Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School
2014-2015 STPMs fell slightly short of the projections
2015-2016 STPMS fell slightly short of the projections
2016-2017 STPMs exceeded the projections by at least 50
The disparity ofSTPMprojection and actual was due to the district switchingfrom
Acuity to NWEA Accurate comparable data was not available
RAP Status The projected RAP number was 81 for the last three years The first year RAP
projection was met at 81 The second year the RAP count increased to 111 and the third
year was 91

Middle School students and their parents attended college tours and heard guest speakers
on College and Career Readiness Enrichment activities included an award-winning
photography club archery foreign language Girls on the Run Camp Invention and a cooking
club A Jr Police Program which was led by a Lake County Sheriff Students attended a STEM
camp at the Duneland Nature Center The middle school held several programs and a Spring
Exhibition to showcase after-school student work to parents and the community Academic

VII EVALUATION
A Evaluation Plan
Dr Karen Venditti the current 21st CCLC evaluator will be contracted to continue the
evaluate the programs at the middle and high schools Dr Venditti was a literacy professor at St
Joseph College in Rensselaer IN and an experienced 21 st CCLC evaluator She also will provide
an in-kind service by meeting with the Advisory Council to look at data and formative
assessments to make changes in programming She will lead the summative assessment meeting
for the Advisory Council at the end of the four-year program
B Annual Reporting
Required information will be gathered by school personnel from ISTEP+ NWEA grades
graduation information behavior and attendance Repairer of the Breach Ministries will supply
data for their students The data will be disaggregated by the Program Director entered into EZ
Reports andor given to the external evaluator All data will be aggregated at the end of the fourshy
year grant period The external evaluator will compile the data to determine if the benchmarks
have been met yearly and at the end of the four years Her findings will be sent to IDOE in the
annual and final reports
C Use ofResultsfor Program Improvement
The use of evaluation and assessment as well as the use of available resources aligns
with the Indiana Afterschool Standards because it establishes connection with schools and
parents about individual student academic needs and learning goals (IAS 13B)
Data will be gathered from the sources listed on the previous page and shared with the 21 st
CCLC staff as well as the regular school day staff The regular classroom teachers will
communicate the needs of the students with the 21 st CCLC staff who will then match the

VIII SUPPORT for STRATEGIC PRIORITIES
Lake Ridge Schools has an ar1iculated K-12 curriculum which is based on Indiana
Academic Standards The K-12 curriculum may be found on the Lake Ridge home page
httplakeridgek12inus The afterschool program will be based on this curriculum as well as
on the School Improvement Plans which were derived from ISTEP+ NWEA ECA and other
local assessments All Lake Ridge teachers have received professional development in the
Indiana Academic Standards and are active in developing the curriculum Using this curriculum
and data obtained from state and local assessments afterschool instructors will create learning
experiences for students in the afterschool program which is an extension of the school day
Page I 38
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
Literacy Math and College and Career Readiness will serve as the foundations for the
afterschool academic curricula at the middle and high schools and will be the primary vehicles
through which other skills and content areas are taught Both schools School Improvement
Plans which are on file with the IDOE focus on reading and math In addition College and
Career Readiness will include career exploration 21 st Century skills and diversity
IX SUSTAINABILITY PLAN
The partnerships listed in Section IV will continue after the four-year grant period ends
Instruction will be done by partners volunteers high school students who are working for Service
Learning credits and instructors paid by the district and other grants Other grants such as Titles I
IIA III and IV will provide additional funding for professional development parent involvement
and student remediation It is vital to the success of Lake Ridge New Tech students that there is
an all-out effort to recruit and retain partners for the 21 st CCLC program Although most of the
partners listed in the grant will provide in-kind matches additional funds will be necessary to
maintain the program after the grant period Some personnel costs will be absorbed by Lake
Ridge Lake Ridge New Tech Schools is not in a position from which it can approach improved
student achievement lightly and will do whatever it takes to sustain this program

X SAFETY AND TRANSPORTATION
A Safety is always a priority for Lake Ridge Schools Both the middle and high schools
have multiple trained safety specialists Emergency plans are kept current posted and staff
routinely reviews safety procedures All afterschool staff have on their cell phones an app called
REM4 which has the district safety plan and procedures contacts and an instant notification for
first responders All buildings are equipped with cameras and doors are locked Visitors must be
buzzed in and immediately report to the office The SRO will be available to afterschool
personnel in the event an emergency arises
Page 140
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 215 CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
B All Lake Ridge personnel including substitutes and volunteers undergo background
checks All afterschool instructors and volunteers who are not employees of Lake Ridge Schools
will be required to undergo the same background check The results of the background checks
are maintained in the Lake Ridge Central Office and are private When certified teachers are
required to teach content areas they will be fully licensed in their subject areas DOE teacher
licensing requires certification in CPR and AED
C The 21 st CCLC Programs are held in the middle and high schools There are no sidewalks
in the area so walkers are not allowed Bus transportation will be available after school at each
building The bus routes will be assigned each day by the Lake Ridge Transportation Director
with daily information from the Site Coordinators Site Coordinators will be responsible for
seeing that the students are properly supervised while waiting for the bus and that all students are
accounted for and have transportation home Parents will not be expected to pick up their
students Parents who choose to pick up their students must show identification and sign for that
student The Lake County Sheriffs Office is in contact with the Lake Ridge School Resource
Officers about this program Extra law enforcement will be in place to make sure that the
children are safe during the program and on the way home Parents will be given specific
information about release times
College tours and field trips will be arranged using the Lake Ridge stringent set of safety
requirements and codes of conduct for students Furthermore the trips will be heavily
chaperoned by persons who have had background checks Parents will be required to give
written permission for their students to go on any trip

Evidence of Previous Success
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools has operated 21 st CCLC programs for eight years due to
the generous funding from the government From 2010-2014 the program was implemented at
Calumet New Tech High School and in 2015 Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School was added
to the program These after-school programs provide services to high-poverty students who
would otherwise have no safe place to go after school no help with homework or the opportunity
to take part in enrichment classes and in some cases little to eat The Lake Ridge afterschool
program provides all of that dinner homework help fun socialization and a ride home
While mentioning roadblocks may not be the best way to start describing the stellar
accomplishments of the Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC programs there are factors that must be considered
1 The rate of transiency for Lake Ridge Schools varies from 40-60 This means that
it is not easy to amass 2- and 3-year data for students who are here today and gone
tomorrow In fact it is difficult even to achieve RAP status for our students which
makes the fact that both the middle and high school programs have made their RAP
numbers each year even more remarkable There was a 50 gain in ISTEP passage
in the middle and high schools combined for 3-year RAPs
2 After-school programming in secondary schools is difficult due to student
participation in sports clubs etc
3 Parent participation is difficult due to lack of transportation and stability in the home
Calumet New Tech High School
2014-2015 All Short-Term Performance Measures (STPM) were met and exceeded projections
2015-2016 All STPM were met with the exception of graduation for which the projection was
90 and the actual was 89
Page 160
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
2016-2017 Two STPM fell slightly short ofprojection The other STPM exceeded projection by 6
RAP Status The attendance target for the last 3 years was 70 RAPs The actual number of
RAPs exceeded the target for all three years
The success of the high school program included College and Career Readiness activities
that included a speaker panel and multiple college tours to which parents were invited F AFSA
nights were held for students and their parents Opportunities for Service Learning were provided
by allowing high school students to lead middle school activities There were also well-attended
enrichment activities that included music dance theater archery and other sports Students
attended a STEM camp at the Duneland Nature Center and parents took part in Strengthening
Families and EL parent night After-school students also attended and served as student
ambassadors at the Indiana Youth Institute state conference All of this was in addition to the
intensive tutoring and homework help that was offered The ISTEP and ECA Boot Camps
were well attended
Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School
2014-2015 STPMs fell slightly short of the projections
2015-2016 STPMS fell slightly short of the projections
2016-2017 STPMs exceeded the projections by at least 50
The disparity ofSTPMprojection and actual was due to the district switchingfrom
Acuity to NWEA Accurate comparable data was not available
RAP Status The projected RAP number was 81 for the last three years The first year RAP
projection was met at 81 The second year the RAP count increased to 111 and the third
year was 91

Middle School students and their parents attended college tours and heard guest speakers

camp at the Duneland Nature Center The middle school held several programs and a Spring
Exhibition to showcase after-school student work to parents and the community Academic

Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
Evidence of Previous Success
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools has operated 21 st CCLC programs for eight years due to
the generous funding from the government From 2010-2014 the program was implemented at
Calumet New Tech High School and in 2015 Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School was added
to the program These after-school programs provide services to high-poverty students who
would otherwise have no safe place to go after school no help with homework or the opportunity
to take part in enrichment classes and in some cases little to eat The Lake Ridge afterschool
program provides all of that dinner homework help fun socialization and a ride home
While mentioning roadblocks may not be the best way to start describing the stellar
accomplishments of the Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC programs there are factors that must be considered
1 The rate of transiency for Lake Ridge Schools varies from 40-60 This means that
it is not easy to amass 2- and 3-year data for students who are here today and gone
tomorrow In fact it is difficult even to achieve RAP status for our students which
makes the fact that both the middle and high school programs have made their RAP
numbers each year even more remarkable There was a 50 gain in ISTEP passage
in the middle and high schools combined for 3-year RAPs
2 After-school programming in secondary schools is difficult due to student
participation in sports clubs etc
3 Parent participation is difficult due to lack of transportation and stability in the home
Calumet New Tech High School
2014-2015 All Short-Term Performance Measures (STPM) were met and exceeded projections
2015-2016 All STPM were met with the exception of graduation for which the projection was
90 and the actual was 89
Page 160
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
2016-2017 Two STPM fell slightly short ofprojection The other STPM exceeded projection by 6
RAP Status The attendance target for the last 3 years was 70 RAPs The actual number of
RAPs exceeded the target for all three years
The success of the high school program included College and Career Readiness activities
that included a speaker panel and multiple college tours to which parents were invited F AFSA
nights were held for students and their parents Opportunities for Service Learning were provided
by allowing high school students to lead middle school activities There were also well-attended
enrichment activities that included music dance theater archery and other sports Students
attended a STEM camp at the Duneland Nature Center and parents took part in Strengthening
Families and EL parent night After-school students also attended and served as student
ambassadors at the Indiana Youth Institute state conference All of this was in addition to the
intensive tutoring and homework help that was offered The ISTEP and ECA Boot Camps
were well attended
Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School
2014-2015 STPMs fell slightly short of the projections
2015-2016 STPMS fell slightly short of the projections
2016-2017 STPMs exceeded the projections by at least 50
The disparity ofSTPMprojection and actual was due to the district switchingfrom
Acuity to NWEA Accurate comparable data was not available
RAP Status The projected RAP number was 81 for the last three years The first year RAP
projection was met at 81 The second year the RAP count increased to 111 and the third
year was 91

Middle School students and their parents attended college tours and heard guest speakers
on College and Career Readiness Enrichment activities included an award-winning

camp at the Duneland Nature Center The middle school held several programs and a Spring
Exhibition to showcase after-school student work to parents and the community Academic

Evidence of Previous Success
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools has operated 21 st CCLC programs for eight years due to
the generous funding from the government From 2010-2014 the program was implemented at
Calumet New Tech High School and in 2015 Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School was added
to the program These after-school programs provide services to high-poverty students who
would otherwise have no safe place to go after school no help with homework or the opportunity
to take part in enrichment classes and in some cases little to eat The Lake Ridge afterschool
program provides all of that dinner homework help fun socialization and a ride home
While mentioning roadblocks may not be the best way to start describing the stellar
accomplishments of the Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC programs there are factors that must be considered
1 The rate of transiency for Lake Ridge Schools varies from 40-60 This means that
it is not easy to amass 2- and 3-year data for students who are here today and gone
tomorrow In fact it is difficult even to achieve RAP status for our students which
makes the fact that both the middle and high school programs have made their RAP
numbers each year even more remarkable There was a 50 gain in ISTEP passage
in the middle and high schools combined for 3-year RAPs
2 After-school programming in secondary schools is difficult due to student
participation in sports clubs etc
3 Parent participation is difficult due to lack of transportation and stability in the home
Calumet New Tech High School
2014-2015 All Short-Term Performance Measures (STPM) were met and exceeded projections
2015-2016 All STPM were met with the exception of graduation for which the projection was
90 and the actual was 89
Page 160
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
2016-2017 Two STPM fell slightly short ofprojection The other STPM exceeded projection by 6
RAP Status The attendance target for the last 3 years was 70 RAPs The actual number of
RAPs exceeded the target for all three years
The success of the high school program included College and Career Readiness activities
that included a speaker panel and multiple college tours to which parents were invited F AFSA
nights were held for students and their parents Opportunities for Service Learning were provided
by allowing high school students to lead middle school activities There were also well-attended
enrichment activities that included music dance theater archery and other sports Students
attended a STEM camp at the Duneland Nature Center and parents took part in Strengthening
Families and EL parent night After-school students also attended and served as student
ambassadors at the Indiana Youth Institute state conference All of this was in addition to the
intensive tutoring and homework help that was offered The ISTEP and ECA Boot Camps
were well attended
Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School
2014-2015 STPMs fell slightly short of the projections
2015-2016 STPMS fell slightly short of the projections
2016-2017 STPMs exceeded the projections by at least 50
The disparity ofSTPMprojection and actual was due to the district switchingfrom
Acuity to NWEA Accurate comparable data was not available
RAP Status The projected RAP number was 81 for the last three years The first year RAP
projection was met at 81 The second year the RAP count increased to 111 and the third
year was 91

Middle School students and their parents attended college tours and heard guest speakers
on College and Career Readiness Enrichment activities included an award-winning
photography club archery foreign language Girls on the Run Camp Invention and a cooking
club A Jr Police Program which was led by a Lake County Sheriff Students attended a STEM
camp at the Duneland Nature Center The middle school held several programs and a Spring
Exhibition to showcase after-school student work to parents and the community Academic
programs included tutoring and homework help as well as ISTEP Jumpstart Lake Ridge New

Lake Ridge Schools has an ar1iculated K-12 curriculum which is based on Indiana
Academic Standards The K-12 curriculum may be found on the Lake Ridge home page
httplakeridgek12inus The afterschool program will be based on this curriculum as well as
on the School Improvement Plans which were derived from ISTEP+ NWEA ECA and other
local assessments All Lake Ridge teachers have received professional development in the
Indiana Academic Standards and are active in developing the curriculum Using this curriculum
and data obtained from state and local assessments afterschool instructors will create learning
experiences for students in the afterschool program which is an extension of the school day
Page I 38
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
Literacy Math and College and Career Readiness will serve as the foundations for the
afterschool academic curricula at the middle and high schools and will be the primary vehicles
through which other skills and content areas are taught Both schools School Improvement
Plans which are on file with the IDOE focus on reading and math In addition College and
Career Readiness will include career exploration 21 st Century skills and diversity
IX SUSTAINABILITY PLAN
The partnerships listed in Section IV will continue after the four-year grant period ends
Instruction will be done by partners volunteers high school students who are working for Service
Learning credits and instructors paid by the district and other grants Other grants such as Titles I
IIA III and IV will provide additional funding for professional development parent involvement
and student remediation It is vital to the success of Lake Ridge New Tech students that there is
an all-out effort to recruit and retain partners for the 21 st CCLC program Although most of the
partners listed in the grant will provide in-kind matches additional funds will be necessary to
maintain the program after the grant period Some personnel costs will be absorbed by Lake
Ridge Lake Ridge New Tech Schools is not in a position from which it can approach improved
student achievement lightly and will do whatever it takes to sustain this program

Evidence of Previous Success
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools has operated 21 st CCLC programs for eight years due to
the generous funding from the government From 2010-2014 the program was implemented at
Calumet New Tech High School and in 2015 Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School was added
to the program These after-school programs provide services to high-poverty students who
would otherwise have no safe place to go after school no help with homework or the opportunity
to take part in enrichment classes and in some cases little to eat The Lake Ridge afterschool
program provides all of that dinner homework help fun socialization and a ride home
While mentioning roadblocks may not be the best way to start describing the stellar
accomplishments of the Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC programs there are factors that must be considered
1 The rate of transiency for Lake Ridge Schools varies from 40-60 This means that
it is not easy to amass 2- and 3-year data for students who are here today and gone
tomorrow In fact it is difficult even to achieve RAP status for our students which
makes the fact that both the middle and high school programs have made their RAP
numbers each year even more remarkable There was a 50 gain in ISTEP passage
in the middle and high schools combined for 3-year RAPs
2 After-school programming in secondary schools is difficult due to student
participation in sports clubs etc
3 Parent participation is difficult due to lack of transportation and stability in the home
Calumet New Tech High School
2014-2015 All Short-Term Performance Measures (STPM) were met and exceeded projections
2015-2016 All STPM were met with the exception of graduation for which the projection was
90 and the actual was 89
Page 160
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
2016-2017 Two STPM fell slightly short ofprojection The other STPM exceeded projection by 6
RAP Status The attendance target for the last 3 years was 70 RAPs The actual number of
RAPs exceeded the target for all three years
The success of the high school program included College and Career Readiness activities
that included a speaker panel and multiple college tours to which parents were invited F AFSA
nights were held for students and their parents Opportunities for Service Learning were provided
by allowing high school students to lead middle school activities There were also well-attended
enrichment activities that included music dance theater archery and other sports Students
attended a STEM camp at the Duneland Nature Center and parents took part in Strengthening
Families and EL parent night After-school students also attended and served as student
ambassadors at the Indiana Youth Institute state conference All of this was in addition to the
intensive tutoring and homework help that was offered The ISTEP and ECA Boot Camps
were well attended
Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School
2014-2015 STPMs fell slightly short of the projections
2015-2016 STPMS fell slightly short of the projections
2016-2017 STPMs exceeded the projections by at least 50
The disparity ofSTPMprojection and actual was due to the district switchingfrom
Acuity to NWEA Accurate comparable data was not available
RAP Status The projected RAP number was 81 for the last three years The first year RAP
projection was met at 81 The second year the RAP count increased to 111 and the third
year was 91

Middle School students and their parents attended college tours and heard guest speakers

camp at the Duneland Nature Center The middle school held several programs and a Spring
Exhibition to showcase after-school student work to parents and the community Academic

VIII SUPPORT for STRATEGIC PRIORITIES
Lake Ridge Schools has an ar1iculated K-12 curriculum which is based on Indiana
Academic Standards The K-12 curriculum may be found on the Lake Ridge home page
httplakeridgek12inus The afterschool program will be based on this curriculum as well as
on the School Improvement Plans which were derived from ISTEP+ NWEA ECA and other
local assessments All Lake Ridge teachers have received professional development in the
Indiana Academic Standards and are active in developing the curriculum Using this curriculum
and data obtained from state and local assessments afterschool instructors will create learning
experiences for students in the afterschool program which is an extension of the school day
Page I 38
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
Literacy Math and College and Career Readiness will serve as the foundations for the

Plans which are on file with the IDOE focus on reading and math In addition College and
Career Readiness will include career exploration 21 st Century skills and diversity

and student remediation It is vital to the success of Lake Ridge New Tech students that there is
an all-out effort to recruit and retain partners for the 21 st CCLC program Although most of the
partners listed in the grant will provide in-kind matches additional funds will be necessary to
maintain the program after the grant period Some personnel costs will be absorbed by Lake

A Safety is always a priority for Lake Ridge Schools Both the middle and high schools
have multiple trained safety specialists Emergency plans are kept current posted and staff
routinely reviews safety procedures All afterschool staff have on their cell phones an app called
REM4 which has the district safety plan and procedures contacts and an instant notification for
first responders All buildings are equipped with cameras and doors are locked Visitors must be
buzzed in and immediately report to the office The SRO will be available to afterschool
personnel in the event an emergency arises

checks All afterschool instructors and volunteers who are not employees of Lake Ridge Schools
will be required to undergo the same background check The results of the background checks
are maintained in the Lake Ridge Central Office and are private When certified teachers are
required to teach content areas they will be fully licensed in their subject areas DOE teacher
licensing requires certification in CPR and AED
C The 21 st CCLC Programs are held in the middle and high schools There are no sidewalks
in the area so walkers are not allowed Bus transportation will be available after school at each
building The bus routes will be assigned each day by the Lake Ridge Transportation Director
with daily information from the Site Coordinators Site Coordinators will be responsible for
seeing that the students are properly supervised while waiting for the bus and that all students are
accounted for and have transportation home Parents will not be expected to pick up their
students Parents who choose to pick up their students must show identification and sign for that
student The Lake County Sheriffs Office is in contact with the Lake Ridge School Resource
Officers about this program Extra law enforcement will be in place to make sure that the
children are safe during the program and on the way home Parents will be given specific
information about release times
College tours and field trips will be arranged using the Lake Ridge stringent set of safety
requirements and codes of conduct for students Furthermore the trips will be heavily

Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
Evidence of Previous Success
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools has operated 21 st CCLC programs for eight years due to
the generous funding from the government From 2010-2014 the program was implemented at
Calumet New Tech High School and in 2015 Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School was added
to the program These after-school programs provide services to high-poverty students who
would otherwise have no safe place to go after school no help with homework or the opportunity
to take part in enrichment classes and in some cases little to eat The Lake Ridge afterschool
program provides all of that dinner homework help fun socialization and a ride home
While mentioning roadblocks may not be the best way to start describing the stellar
accomplishments of the Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC programs there are factors that must be considered
1 The rate of transiency for Lake Ridge Schools varies from 40-60 This means that
it is not easy to amass 2- and 3-year data for students who are here today and gone
tomorrow In fact it is difficult even to achieve RAP status for our students which
makes the fact that both the middle and high school programs have made their RAP
numbers each year even more remarkable There was a 50 gain in ISTEP passage
in the middle and high schools combined for 3-year RAPs
2 After-school programming in secondary schools is difficult due to student
participation in sports clubs etc
3 Parent participation is difficult due to lack of transportation and stability in the home
Calumet New Tech High School
2014-2015 All Short-Term Performance Measures (STPM) were met and exceeded projections
2015-2016 All STPM were met with the exception of graduation for which the projection was
90 and the actual was 89
Page 160
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
2016-2017 Two STPM fell slightly short ofprojection The other STPM exceeded projection by 6
RAP Status The attendance target for the last 3 years was 70 RAPs The actual number of
RAPs exceeded the target for all three years
The success of the high school program included College and Career Readiness activities
that included a speaker panel and multiple college tours to which parents were invited F AFSA
nights were held for students and their parents Opportunities for Service Learning were provided
by allowing high school students to lead middle school activities There were also well-attended
enrichment activities that included music dance theater archery and other sports Students
attended a STEM camp at the Duneland Nature Center and parents took part in Strengthening
Families and EL parent night After-school students also attended and served as student
ambassadors at the Indiana Youth Institute state conference All of this was in addition to the
intensive tutoring and homework help that was offered The ISTEP and ECA Boot Camps
were well attended
Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School
2014-2015 STPMs fell slightly short of the projections
2015-2016 STPMS fell slightly short of the projections
2016-2017 STPMs exceeded the projections by at least 50
The disparity ofSTPMprojection and actual was due to the district switchingfrom
Acuity to NWEA Accurate comparable data was not available
RAP Status The projected RAP number was 81 for the last three years The first year RAP
projection was met at 81 The second year the RAP count increased to 111 and the third
year was 91
Page 161
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 1 CCLC Grant Proposal 201 7
Middle School students and their parents attended college tours and heard guest speakers
on College and Career Readiness Enrichment activities included an award-winning
photography club archery foreign language Girls on the Run Camp Invention and a cooking
club A Jr Police Program which was led by a Lake County Sheriff Students attended a STEM
camp at the Duneland Nature Center The middle school held several programs and a Spring
Exhibition to showcase after-school student work to parents and the community Academic
programs included tutoring and homework help as well as ISTEP Jumpstart Lake Ridge New

VIII SUPPORT for STRATEGIC PRIORITIES
Lake Ridge Schools has an ar1iculated K-12 curriculum which is based on Indiana
Academic Standards The K-12 curriculum may be found on the Lake Ridge home page
httplakeridgek12inus The afterschool program will be based on this curriculum as well as
on the School Improvement Plans which were derived from ISTEP+ NWEA ECA and other
local assessments All Lake Ridge teachers have received professional development in the
Indiana Academic Standards and are active in developing the curriculum Using this curriculum
and data obtained from state and local assessments afterschool instructors will create learning
experiences for students in the afterschool program which is an extension of the school day
Page I 38
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
Literacy Math and College and Career Readiness will serve as the foundations for the
afterschool academic curricula at the middle and high schools and will be the primary vehicles
through which other skills and content areas are taught Both schools School Improvement
Plans which are on file with the IDOE focus on reading and math In addition College and
Career Readiness will include career exploration 21 st Century skills and diversity
IX SUSTAINABILITY PLAN
The partnerships listed in Section IV will continue after the four-year grant period ends
Instruction will be done by partners volunteers high school students who are working for Service
Learning credits and instructors paid by the district and other grants Other grants such as Titles I
IIA III and IV will provide additional funding for professional development parent involvement
and student remediation It is vital to the success of Lake Ridge New Tech students that there is
an all-out effort to recruit and retain partners for the 21 st CCLC program Although most of the
partners listed in the grant will provide in-kind matches additional funds will be necessary to
maintain the program after the grant period Some personnel costs will be absorbed by Lake
Ridge Lake Ridge New Tech Schools is not in a position from which it can approach improved
student achievement lightly and will do whatever it takes to sustain this program

X SAFETY AND TRANSPORTATION
A Safety is always a priority for Lake Ridge Schools Both the middle and high schools
have multiple trained safety specialists Emergency plans are kept current posted and staff
routinely reviews safety procedures All afterschool staff have on their cell phones an app called
REM4 which has the district safety plan and procedures contacts and an instant notification for
first responders All buildings are equipped with cameras and doors are locked Visitors must be
buzzed in and immediately report to the office The SRO will be available to afterschool
personnel in the event an emergency arises
Page 140
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 215 CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
B All Lake Ridge personnel including substitutes and volunteers undergo background
checks All afterschool instructors and volunteers who are not employees of Lake Ridge Schools
will be required to undergo the same background check The results of the background checks
are maintained in the Lake Ridge Central Office and are private When certified teachers are
required to teach content areas they will be fully licensed in their subject areas DOE teacher
licensing requires certification in CPR and AED
C The 21 st CCLC Programs are held in the middle and high schools There are no sidewalks
in the area so walkers are not allowed Bus transportation will be available after school at each
building The bus routes will be assigned each day by the Lake Ridge Transportation Director
with daily information from the Site Coordinators Site Coordinators will be responsible for
seeing that the students are properly supervised while waiting for the bus and that all students are
accounted for and have transportation home Parents will not be expected to pick up their
students Parents who choose to pick up their students must show identification and sign for that
student The Lake County Sheriffs Office is in contact with the Lake Ridge School Resource
Officers about this program Extra law enforcement will be in place to make sure that the
children are safe during the program and on the way home Parents will be given specific
information about release times
College tours and field trips will be arranged using the Lake Ridge stringent set of safety
requirements and codes of conduct for students Furthermore the trips will be heavily
chaperoned by persons who have had background checks Parents will be required to give
written permission for their students to go on any trip

Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
Evidence of Previous Success
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools has operated 21 st CCLC programs for eight years due to
the generous funding from the government From 2010-2014 the program was implemented at
Calumet New Tech High School and in 2015 Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School was added
to the program These after-school programs provide services to high-poverty students who
would otherwise have no safe place to go after school no help with homework or the opportunity
to take part in enrichment classes and in some cases little to eat The Lake Ridge afterschool
program provides all of that dinner homework help fun socialization and a ride home
While mentioning roadblocks may not be the best way to start describing the stellar
accomplishments of the Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC programs there are factors that must be considered
1 The rate of transiency for Lake Ridge Schools varies from 40-60 This means that
it is not easy to amass 2- and 3-year data for students who are here today and gone
tomorrow In fact it is difficult even to achieve RAP status for our students which
makes the fact that both the middle and high school programs have made their RAP
numbers each year even more remarkable There was a 50 gain in ISTEP passage
in the middle and high schools combined for 3-year RAPs
2 After-school programming in secondary schools is difficult due to student
participation in sports clubs etc
3 Parent participation is difficult due to lack of transportation and stability in the home
Calumet New Tech High School
2014-2015 All Short-Term Performance Measures (STPM) were met and exceeded projections
2015-2016 All STPM were met with the exception of graduation for which the projection was
90 and the actual was 89
Page 160
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
2016-2017 Two STPM fell slightly short ofprojection The other STPM exceeded projection by 6

have multiple trained safety specialists Emergency plans are kept current posted and staff
routinely reviews safety procedures All afterschool staff have on their cell phones an app called
REM4 which has the district safety plan and procedures contacts and an instant notification for
first responders All buildings are equipped with cameras and doors are locked Visitors must be
buzzed in and immediately report to the office The SRO will be available to afterschool
personnel in the event an emergency arises

checks All afterschool instructors and volunteers who are not employees of Lake Ridge Schools
will be required to undergo the same background check The results of the background checks
are maintained in the Lake Ridge Central Office and are private When certified teachers are
required to teach content areas they will be fully licensed in their subject areas DOE teacher
licensing requires certification in CPR and AED

seeing that the students are properly supervised while waiting for the bus and that all students are
accounted for and have transportation home Parents will not be expected to pick up their
students Parents who choose to pick up their students must show identification and sign for that

Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
Evidence of Previous Success
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools has operated 21 st CCLC programs for eight years due to
the generous funding from the government From 2010-2014 the program was implemented at
Calumet New Tech High School and in 2015 Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School was added
to the program These after-school programs provide services to high-poverty students who
would otherwise have no safe place to go after school no help with homework or the opportunity
to take part in enrichment classes and in some cases little to eat The Lake Ridge afterschool
program provides all of that dinner homework help fun socialization and a ride home
While mentioning roadblocks may not be the best way to start describing the stellar
accomplishments of the Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC programs there are factors that must be considered
1 The rate of transiency for Lake Ridge Schools varies from 40-60 This means that
it is not easy to amass 2- and 3-year data for students who are here today and gone
tomorrow In fact it is difficult even to achieve RAP status for our students which
makes the fact that both the middle and high school programs have made their RAP
numbers each year even more remarkable There was a 50 gain in ISTEP passage
in the middle and high schools combined for 3-year RAPs
2 After-school programming in secondary schools is difficult due to student
participation in sports clubs etc
3 Parent participation is difficult due to lack of transportation and stability in the home
Calumet New Tech High School
2014-2015 All Short-Term Performance Measures (STPM) were met and exceeded projections
2015-2016 All STPM were met with the exception of graduation for which the projection was
90 and the actual was 89
Page 160
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
2016-2017 Two STPM fell slightly short ofprojection The other STPM exceeded projection by 6
RAP Status The attendance target for the last 3 years was 70 RAPs The actual number of
RAPs exceeded the target for all three years
The success of the high school program included College and Career Readiness activities
that included a speaker panel and multiple college tours to which parents were invited F AFSA
nights were held for students and their parents Opportunities for Service Learning were provided
by allowing high school students to lead middle school activities There were also well-attended
enrichment activities that included music dance theater archery and other sports Students
attended a STEM camp at the Duneland Nature Center and parents took part in Strengthening
Families and EL parent night After-school students also attended and served as student
ambassadors at the Indiana Youth Institute state conference All of this was in addition to the
intensive tutoring and homework help that was offered The ISTEP and ECA Boot Camps
were well attended
Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School
2014-2015 STPMs fell slightly short of the projections
2015-2016 STPMS fell slightly short of the projections
2016-2017 STPMs exceeded the projections by at least 50
The disparity ofSTPMprojection and actual was due to the district switchingfrom
Acuity to NWEA Accurate comparable data was not available
RAP Status The projected RAP number was 81 for the last three years The first year RAP
projection was met at 81 The second year the RAP count increased to 111 and the third
year was 91
Page 161
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 1 CCLC Grant Proposal 201 7
Middle School students and their parents attended college tours and heard guest speakers
on College and Career Readiness Enrichment activities included an award-winning
photography club archery foreign language Girls on the Run Camp Invention and a cooking
club A Jr Police Program which was led by a Lake County Sheriff Students attended a STEM
camp at the Duneland Nature Center The middle school held several programs and a Spring
Exhibition to showcase after-school student work to parents and the community Academic
programs included tutoring and homework help as well as ISTEP Jumpstart Lake Ridge New

X SAFETY AND TRANSPORTATION
A Safety is always a priority for Lake Ridge Schools Both the middle and high schools
have multiple trained safety specialists Emergency plans are kept current posted and staff
routinely reviews safety procedures All afterschool staff have on their cell phones an app called
REM4 which has the district safety plan and procedures contacts and an instant notification for
first responders All buildings are equipped with cameras and doors are locked Visitors must be
buzzed in and immediately report to the office The SRO will be available to afterschool
personnel in the event an emergency arises
Page 140

will be required to undergo the same background check The results of the background checks
are maintained in the Lake Ridge Central Office and are private When certified teachers are
required to teach content areas they will be fully licensed in their subject areas DOE teacher
licensing requires certification in CPR and AED

Evidence of Previous Success
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools has operated 21 st CCLC programs for eight years due to
the generous funding from the government From 2010-2014 the program was implemented at
Calumet New Tech High School and in 2015 Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School was added
to the program These after-school programs provide services to high-poverty students who
would otherwise have no safe place to go after school no help with homework or the opportunity
to take part in enrichment classes and in some cases little to eat The Lake Ridge afterschool
program provides all of that dinner homework help fun socialization and a ride home
While mentioning roadblocks may not be the best way to start describing the stellar
accomplishments of the Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC programs there are factors that must be considered
1 The rate of transiency for Lake Ridge Schools varies from 40-60 This means that
it is not easy to amass 2- and 3-year data for students who are here today and gone
tomorrow In fact it is difficult even to achieve RAP status for our students which
makes the fact that both the middle and high school programs have made their RAP
numbers each year even more remarkable There was a 50 gain in ISTEP passage
in the middle and high schools combined for 3-year RAPs
2 After-school programming in secondary schools is difficult due to student
participation in sports clubs etc
3 Parent participation is difficult due to lack of transportation and stability in the home
Calumet New Tech High School
2014-2015 All Short-Term Performance Measures (STPM) were met and exceeded projections
2015-2016 All STPM were met with the exception of graduation for which the projection was
90 and the actual was 89
Page 160
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
2016-2017 Two STPM fell slightly short ofprojection The other STPM exceeded projection by 6
RAP Status The attendance target for the last 3 years was 70 RAPs The actual number of
RAPs exceeded the target for all three years
The success of the high school program included College and Career Readiness activities
that included a speaker panel and multiple college tours to which parents were invited F AFSA
nights were held for students and their parents Opportunities for Service Learning were provided
by allowing high school students to lead middle school activities There were also well-attended
enrichment activities that included music dance theater archery and other sports Students
attended a STEM camp at the Duneland Nature Center and parents took part in Strengthening
Families and EL parent night After-school students also attended and served as student
ambassadors at the Indiana Youth Institute state conference All of this was in addition to the
intensive tutoring and homework help that was offered The ISTEP and ECA Boot Camps
were well attended
Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School
2014-2015 STPMs fell slightly short of the projections
2015-2016 STPMS fell slightly short of the projections
2016-2017 STPMs exceeded the projections by at least 50
The disparity ofSTPMprojection and actual was due to the district switchingfrom
Acuity to NWEA Accurate comparable data was not available
RAP Status The projected RAP number was 81 for the last three years The first year RAP
projection was met at 81 The second year the RAP count increased to 111 and the third
year was 91

Middle School students and their parents attended college tours and heard guest speakers
on College and Career Readiness Enrichment activities included an award-winning
photography club archery foreign language Girls on the Run Camp Invention and a cooking
club A Jr Police Program which was led by a Lake County Sheriff Students attended a STEM
camp at the Duneland Nature Center The middle school held several programs and a Spring
Exhibition to showcase after-school student work to parents and the community Academic
programs included tutoring and homework help as well as ISTEP Jumpstart Lake Ridge New

Evidence of Previous Success
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools has operated 21 st CCLC programs for eight years due to
the generous funding from the government From 2010-2014 the program was implemented at
Calumet New Tech High School and in 2015 Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School was added
to the program These after-school programs provide services to high-poverty students who
would otherwise have no safe place to go after school no help with homework or the opportunity
to take part in enrichment classes and in some cases little to eat The Lake Ridge afterschool
program provides all of that dinner homework help fun socialization and a ride home
While mentioning roadblocks may not be the best way to start describing the stellar
accomplishments of the Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC programs there are factors that must be considered
1 The rate of transiency for Lake Ridge Schools varies from 40-60 This means that
it is not easy to amass 2- and 3-year data for students who are here today and gone
tomorrow In fact it is difficult even to achieve RAP status for our students which
makes the fact that both the middle and high school programs have made their RAP
numbers each year even more remarkable There was a 50 gain in ISTEP passage
in the middle and high schools combined for 3-year RAPs
2 After-school programming in secondary schools is difficult due to student
participation in sports clubs etc
3 Parent participation is difficult due to lack of transportation and stability in the home
Calumet New Tech High School
2014-2015 All Short-Term Performance Measures (STPM) were met and exceeded projections
2015-2016 All STPM were met with the exception of graduation for which the projection was
90 and the actual was 89
Page 160
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
2016-2017 Two STPM fell slightly short ofprojection The other STPM exceeded projection by 6
RAP Status The attendance target for the last 3 years was 70 RAPs The actual number of
RAPs exceeded the target for all three years
The success of the high school program included College and Career Readiness activities
that included a speaker panel and multiple college tours to which parents were invited F AFSA
nights were held for students and their parents Opportunities for Service Learning were provided
by allowing high school students to lead middle school activities There were also well-attended
enrichment activities that included music dance theater archery and other sports Students
attended a STEM camp at the Duneland Nature Center and parents took part in Strengthening
Families and EL parent night After-school students also attended and served as student
ambassadors at the Indiana Youth Institute state conference All of this was in addition to the
intensive tutoring and homework help that was offered The ISTEP and ECA Boot Camps
were well attended
Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School
2014-2015 STPMs fell slightly short of the projections
2015-2016 STPMS fell slightly short of the projections
2016-2017 STPMs exceeded the projections by at least 50
The disparity ofSTPMprojection and actual was due to the district switchingfrom
Acuity to NWEA Accurate comparable data was not available
RAP Status The projected RAP number was 81 for the last three years The first year RAP
projection was met at 81 The second year the RAP count increased to 111 and the third
year was 91
Page 161
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 1 CCLC Grant Proposal 201 7

camp at the Duneland Nature Center The middle school held several programs and a Spring
Exhibition to showcase after-school student work to parents and the community Academic

Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
Evidence of Previous Success
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools has operated 21 st CCLC programs for eight years due to
the generous funding from the government From 2010-2014 the program was implemented at
Calumet New Tech High School and in 2015 Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School was added
to the program These after-school programs provide services to high-poverty students who
would otherwise have no safe place to go after school no help with homework or the opportunity
to take part in enrichment classes and in some cases little to eat The Lake Ridge afterschool
program provides all of that dinner homework help fun socialization and a ride home
While mentioning roadblocks may not be the best way to start describing the stellar
accomplishments of the Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC programs there are factors that must be considered
1 The rate of transiency for Lake Ridge Schools varies from 40-60 This means that
it is not easy to amass 2- and 3-year data for students who are here today and gone
tomorrow In fact it is difficult even to achieve RAP status for our students which
makes the fact that both the middle and high school programs have made their RAP
numbers each year even more remarkable There was a 50 gain in ISTEP passage
in the middle and high schools combined for 3-year RAPs
2 After-school programming in secondary schools is difficult due to student
participation in sports clubs etc
3 Parent participation is difficult due to lack of transportation and stability in the home
Calumet New Tech High School
2014-2015 All Short-Term Performance Measures (STPM) were met and exceeded projections
2015-2016 All STPM were met with the exception of graduation for which the projection was
90 and the actual was 89
Page 160
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
2016-2017 Two STPM fell slightly short ofprojection The other STPM exceeded projection by 6
RAP Status The attendance target for the last 3 years was 70 RAPs The actual number of
RAPs exceeded the target for all three years
The success of the high school program included College and Career Readiness activities
that included a speaker panel and multiple college tours to which parents were invited F AFSA
nights were held for students and their parents Opportunities for Service Learning were provided
by allowing high school students to lead middle school activities There were also well-attended
enrichment activities that included music dance theater archery and other sports Students
attended a STEM camp at the Duneland Nature Center and parents took part in Strengthening
Families and EL parent night After-school students also attended and served as student
ambassadors at the Indiana Youth Institute state conference All of this was in addition to the
intensive tutoring and homework help that was offered The ISTEP and ECA Boot Camps
were well attended
Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School
2014-2015 STPMs fell slightly short of the projections
2015-2016 STPMS fell slightly short of the projections
2016-2017 STPMs exceeded the projections by at least 50
The disparity ofSTPMprojection and actual was due to the district switchingfrom
Acuity to NWEA Accurate comparable data was not available
RAP Status The projected RAP number was 81 for the last three years The first year RAP
projection was met at 81 The second year the RAP count increased to 111 and the third
year was 91
Page 161
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 1 CCLC Grant Proposal 201 7
Middle School students and their parents attended college tours and heard guest speakers
on College and Career Readiness Enrichment activities included an award-winning
photography club archery foreign language Girls on the Run Camp Invention and a cooking
club A Jr Police Program which was led by a Lake County Sheriff Students attended a STEM
camp at the Duneland Nature Center The middle school held several programs and a Spring
Exhibition to showcase after-school student work to parents and the community Academic
programs included tutoring and homework help as well as ISTEP Jumpstart Lake Ridge New

Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
Evidence of Previous Success
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools has operated 21 st CCLC programs for eight years due to
the generous funding from the government From 2010-2014 the program was implemented at
Calumet New Tech High School and in 2015 Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School was added
to the program These after-school programs provide services to high-poverty students who
would otherwise have no safe place to go after school no help with homework or the opportunity
to take part in enrichment classes and in some cases little to eat The Lake Ridge afterschool
program provides all of that dinner homework help fun socialization and a ride home
While mentioning roadblocks may not be the best way to start describing the stellar
accomplishments of the Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC programs there are factors that must be considered
1 The rate of transiency for Lake Ridge Schools varies from 40-60 This means that
it is not easy to amass 2- and 3-year data for students who are here today and gone
tomorrow In fact it is difficult even to achieve RAP status for our students which
makes the fact that both the middle and high school programs have made their RAP
numbers each year even more remarkable There was a 50 gain in ISTEP passage
in the middle and high schools combined for 3-year RAPs
2 After-school programming in secondary schools is difficult due to student
participation in sports clubs etc
3 Parent participation is difficult due to lack of transportation and stability in the home
Calumet New Tech High School
2014-2015 All Short-Term Performance Measures (STPM) were met and exceeded projections
2015-2016 All STPM were met with the exception of graduation for which the projection was
90 and the actual was 89
Page 160
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
2016-2017 Two STPM fell slightly short ofprojection The other STPM exceeded projection by 6
RAP Status The attendance target for the last 3 years was 70 RAPs The actual number of
RAPs exceeded the target for all three years
The success of the high school program included College and Career Readiness activities
that included a speaker panel and multiple college tours to which parents were invited F AFSA
nights were held for students and their parents Opportunities for Service Learning were provided
by allowing high school students to lead middle school activities There were also well-attended
enrichment activities that included music dance theater archery and other sports Students
attended a STEM camp at the Duneland Nature Center and parents took part in Strengthening
Families and EL parent night After-school students also attended and served as student
ambassadors at the Indiana Youth Institute state conference All of this was in addition to the
intensive tutoring and homework help that was offered The ISTEP and ECA Boot Camps
were well attended
Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School
2014-2015 STPMs fell slightly short of the projections
2015-2016 STPMS fell slightly short of the projections
2016-2017 STPMs exceeded the projections by at least 50
The disparity ofSTPMprojection and actual was due to the district switchingfrom
Acuity to NWEA Accurate comparable data was not available
RAP Status The projected RAP number was 81 for the last three years The first year RAP
projection was met at 81 The second year the RAP count increased to 111 and the third
year was 91

Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 1 CCLC Grant Proposal 201 7
Middle School students and their parents attended college tours and heard guest speakers
on College and Career Readiness Enrichment activities included an award-winning

camp at the Duneland Nature Center The middle school held several programs and a Spring
Exhibition to showcase after-school student work to parents and the community Academic

Evidence of Previous Success
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools has operated 21 st CCLC programs for eight years due to
the generous funding from the government From 2010-2014 the program was implemented at
Calumet New Tech High School and in 2015 Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School was added
to the program These after-school programs provide services to high-poverty students who
would otherwise have no safe place to go after school no help with homework or the opportunity
to take part in enrichment classes and in some cases little to eat The Lake Ridge afterschool
program provides all of that dinner homework help fun socialization and a ride home
While mentioning roadblocks may not be the best way to start describing the stellar
accomplishments of the Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC programs there are factors that must be considered
1 The rate of transiency for Lake Ridge Schools varies from 40-60 This means that
it is not easy to amass 2- and 3-year data for students who are here today and gone
tomorrow In fact it is difficult even to achieve RAP status for our students which
makes the fact that both the middle and high school programs have made their RAP
numbers each year even more remarkable There was a 50 gain in ISTEP passage
in the middle and high schools combined for 3-year RAPs
2 After-school programming in secondary schools is difficult due to student
participation in sports clubs etc
3 Parent participation is difficult due to lack of transportation and stability in the home
Calumet New Tech High School
2014-2015 All Short-Term Performance Measures (STPM) were met and exceeded projections
2015-2016 All STPM were met with the exception of graduation for which the projection was
90 and the actual was 89
Page 160
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
2016-2017 Two STPM fell slightly short ofprojection The other STPM exceeded projection by 6
RAP Status The attendance target for the last 3 years was 70 RAPs The actual number of
RAPs exceeded the target for all three years
The success of the high school program included College and Career Readiness activities
that included a speaker panel and multiple college tours to which parents were invited F AFSA
nights were held for students and their parents Opportunities for Service Learning were provided
by allowing high school students to lead middle school activities There were also well-attended
enrichment activities that included music dance theater archery and other sports Students
attended a STEM camp at the Duneland Nature Center and parents took part in Strengthening
Families and EL parent night After-school students also attended and served as student
ambassadors at the Indiana Youth Institute state conference All of this was in addition to the
intensive tutoring and homework help that was offered The ISTEP and ECA Boot Camps
were well attended
Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School
2014-2015 STPMs fell slightly short of the projections
2015-2016 STPMS fell slightly short of the projections
2016-2017 STPMs exceeded the projections by at least 50
The disparity ofSTPMprojection and actual was due to the district switchingfrom
Acuity to NWEA Accurate comparable data was not available
RAP Status The projected RAP number was 81 for the last three years The first year RAP
projection was met at 81 The second year the RAP count increased to 111 and the third
year was 91

Middle School students and their parents attended college tours and heard guest speakers
on College and Career Readiness Enrichment activities included an award-winning
photography club archery foreign language Girls on the Run Camp Invention and a cooking
club A Jr Police Program which was led by a Lake County Sheriff Students attended a STEM
camp at the Duneland Nature Center The middle school held several programs and a Spring
Exhibition to showcase after-school student work to parents and the community Academic
programs included tutoring and homework help as well as ISTEP Jumpstart Lake Ridge New

Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
Evidence of Previous Success
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools has operated 21 st CCLC programs for eight years due to
the generous funding from the government From 2010-2014 the program was implemented at
Calumet New Tech High School and in 2015 Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School was added
to the program These after-school programs provide services to high-poverty students who
would otherwise have no safe place to go after school no help with homework or the opportunity
to take part in enrichment classes and in some cases little to eat The Lake Ridge afterschool
program provides all of that dinner homework help fun socialization and a ride home
While mentioning roadblocks may not be the best way to start describing the stellar
accomplishments of the Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC programs there are factors that must be considered
1 The rate of transiency for Lake Ridge Schools varies from 40-60 This means that
it is not easy to amass 2- and 3-year data for students who are here today and gone
tomorrow In fact it is difficult even to achieve RAP status for our students which
makes the fact that both the middle and high school programs have made their RAP
numbers each year even more remarkable There was a 50 gain in ISTEP passage
in the middle and high schools combined for 3-year RAPs
2 After-school programming in secondary schools is difficult due to student
participation in sports clubs etc
3 Parent participation is difficult due to lack of transportation and stability in the home
Calumet New Tech High School
2014-2015 All Short-Term Performance Measures (STPM) were met and exceeded projections
2015-2016 All STPM were met with the exception of graduation for which the projection was
90 and the actual was 89
Page 160
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
2016-2017 Two STPM fell slightly short ofprojection The other STPM exceeded projection by 6
RAP Status The attendance target for the last 3 years was 70 RAPs The actual number of
RAPs exceeded the target for all three years
The success of the high school program included College and Career Readiness activities
that included a speaker panel and multiple college tours to which parents were invited F AFSA
nights were held for students and their parents Opportunities for Service Learning were provided
by allowing high school students to lead middle school activities There were also well-attended
enrichment activities that included music dance theater archery and other sports Students
attended a STEM camp at the Duneland Nature Center and parents took part in Strengthening
Families and EL parent night After-school students also attended and served as student
ambassadors at the Indiana Youth Institute state conference All of this was in addition to the
intensive tutoring and homework help that was offered The ISTEP and ECA Boot Camps
were well attended
Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School
2014-2015 STPMs fell slightly short of the projections
2015-2016 STPMS fell slightly short of the projections
2016-2017 STPMs exceeded the projections by at least 50
The disparity ofSTPMprojection and actual was due to the district switchingfrom
Acuity to NWEA Accurate comparable data was not available
RAP Status The projected RAP number was 81 for the last three years The first year RAP
projection was met at 81 The second year the RAP count increased to 111 and the third
year was 91

Middle School students and their parents attended college tours and heard guest speakers
on College and Career Readiness Enrichment activities included an award-winning
photography club archery foreign language Girls on the Run Camp Invention and a cooking
club A Jr Police Program which was led by a Lake County Sheriff Students attended a STEM

Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
Evidence of Previous Success
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools has operated 21 st CCLC programs for eight years due to
the generous funding from the government From 2010-2014 the program was implemented at
Calumet New Tech High School and in 2015 Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School was added
to the program These after-school programs provide services to high-poverty students who
would otherwise have no safe place to go after school no help with homework or the opportunity
to take part in enrichment classes and in some cases little to eat The Lake Ridge afterschool
program provides all of that dinner homework help fun socialization and a ride home
While mentioning roadblocks may not be the best way to start describing the stellar
accomplishments of the Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC programs there are factors that must be considered
1 The rate of transiency for Lake Ridge Schools varies from 40-60 This means that
it is not easy to amass 2- and 3-year data for students who are here today and gone
tomorrow In fact it is difficult even to achieve RAP status for our students which
makes the fact that both the middle and high school programs have made their RAP
numbers each year even more remarkable There was a 50 gain in ISTEP passage
in the middle and high schools combined for 3-year RAPs
2 After-school programming in secondary schools is difficult due to student
participation in sports clubs etc
3 Parent participation is difficult due to lack of transportation and stability in the home
Calumet New Tech High School

Evidence of Previous Success
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools has operated 21 st CCLC programs for eight years due to
the generous funding from the government From 2010-2014 the program was implemented at
Calumet New Tech High School and in 2015 Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School was added
to the program These after-school programs provide services to high-poverty students who
would otherwise have no safe place to go after school no help with homework or the opportunity
to take part in enrichment classes and in some cases little to eat The Lake Ridge afterschool
program provides all of that dinner homework help fun socialization and a ride home
While mentioning roadblocks may not be the best way to start describing the stellar
accomplishments of the Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC programs there are factors that must be considered
1 The rate of transiency for Lake Ridge Schools varies from 40-60 This means that
it is not easy to amass 2- and 3-year data for students who are here today and gone
tomorrow In fact it is difficult even to achieve RAP status for our students which
makes the fact that both the middle and high school programs have made their RAP
numbers each year even more remarkable There was a 50 gain in ISTEP passage
in the middle and high schools combined for 3-year RAPs
2 After-school programming in secondary schools is difficult due to student
participation in sports clubs etc
3 Parent participation is difficult due to lack of transportation and stability in the home
Calumet New Tech High School
2014-2015 All Short-Term Performance Measures (STPM) were met and exceeded projections
2015-2016 All STPM were met with the exception of graduation for which the projection was
90 and the actual was 89

2016-2017 Two STPM fell slightly short ofprojection The other STPM exceeded projection by 6
RAP Status The attendance target for the last 3 years was 70 RAPs The actual number of
RAPs exceeded the target for all three years
The success of the high school program included College and Career Readiness activities
that included a speaker panel and multiple college tours to which parents were invited F AFSA
nights were held for students and their parents Opportunities for Service Learning were provided
by allowing high school students to lead middle school activities There were also well-attended
enrichment activities that included music dance theater archery and other sports Students
attended a STEM camp at the Duneland Nature Center and parents took part in Strengthening
Families and EL parent night After-school students also attended and served as student
ambassadors at the Indiana Youth Institute state conference All of this was in addition to the
intensive tutoring and homework help that was offered The ISTEP and ECA Boot Camps
were well attended
Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School
2014-2015 STPMs fell slightly short of the projections
2015-2016 STPMS fell slightly short of the projections
2016-2017 STPMs exceeded the projections by at least 50
The disparity ofSTPMprojection and actual was due to the district switchingfrom
Acuity to NWEA Accurate comparable data was not available
RAP Status The projected RAP number was 81 for the last three years The first year RAP
projection was met at 81 The second year the RAP count increased to 111 and the third
year was 91

Evidence of Previous Success
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools has operated 21 st CCLC programs for eight years due to
the generous funding from the government From 2010-2014 the program was implemented at
Calumet New Tech High School and in 2015 Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School was added
to the program These after-school programs provide services to high-poverty students who
would otherwise have no safe place to go after school no help with homework or the opportunity
to take part in enrichment classes and in some cases little to eat The Lake Ridge afterschool
program provides all of that dinner homework help fun socialization and a ride home
While mentioning roadblocks may not be the best way to start describing the stellar
accomplishments of the Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC programs there are factors that must be considered
1 The rate of transiency for Lake Ridge Schools varies from 40-60 This means that
it is not easy to amass 2- and 3-year data for students who are here today and gone
tomorrow In fact it is difficult even to achieve RAP status for our students which
makes the fact that both the middle and high school programs have made their RAP
numbers each year even more remarkable There was a 50 gain in ISTEP passage
in the middle and high schools combined for 3-year RAPs
2 After-school programming in secondary schools is difficult due to student
participation in sports clubs etc
3 Parent participation is difficult due to lack of transportation and stability in the home

nights were held for students and their parents Opportunities for Service Learning were provided
by allowing high school students to lead middle school activities There were also well-attended
enrichment activities that included music dance theater archery and other sports Students
attended a STEM camp at the Duneland Nature Center and parents took part in Strengthening
Families and EL parent night After-school students also attended and served as student
ambassadors at the Indiana Youth Institute state conference All of this was in addition to the

2014-2015 STPMs fell slightly short of the projections
2015-2016 STPMS fell slightly short of the projections
2016-2017 STPMs exceeded the projections by at least 50
The disparity ofSTPMprojection and actual was due to the district switchingfrom
Acuity to NWEA Accurate comparable data was not available
RAP Status The projected RAP number was 81 for the last three years The first year RAP
projection was met at 81 The second year the RAP count increased to 111 and the third

Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
Evidence of Previous Success
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools has operated 21 st CCLC programs for eight years due to
the generous funding from the government From 2010-2014 the program was implemented at
Calumet New Tech High School and in 2015 Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School was added
to the program These after-school programs provide services to high-poverty students who
would otherwise have no safe place to go after school no help with homework or the opportunity
to take part in enrichment classes and in some cases little to eat The Lake Ridge afterschool
program provides all of that dinner homework help fun socialization and a ride home
While mentioning roadblocks may not be the best way to start describing the stellar
accomplishments of the Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC programs there are factors that must be considered
1 The rate of transiency for Lake Ridge Schools varies from 40-60 This means that
it is not easy to amass 2- and 3-year data for students who are here today and gone
tomorrow In fact it is difficult even to achieve RAP status for our students which
makes the fact that both the middle and high school programs have made their RAP
numbers each year even more remarkable There was a 50 gain in ISTEP passage
in the middle and high schools combined for 3-year RAPs
2 After-school programming in secondary schools is difficult due to student
participation in sports clubs etc
3 Parent participation is difficult due to lack of transportation and stability in the home
Calumet New Tech High School
2014-2015 All Short-Term Performance Measures (STPM) were met and exceeded projections
2015-2016 All STPM were met with the exception of graduation for which the projection was
90 and the actual was 89
Page 160
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
2016-2017 Two STPM fell slightly short ofprojection The other STPM exceeded projection by 6
RAP Status The attendance target for the last 3 years was 70 RAPs The actual number of
RAPs exceeded the target for all three years
The success of the high school program included College and Career Readiness activities
that included a speaker panel and multiple college tours to which parents were invited F AFSA
nights were held for students and their parents Opportunities for Service Learning were provided
by allowing high school students to lead middle school activities There were also well-attended

Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
Evidence of Previous Success
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools has operated 21 st CCLC programs for eight years due to
the generous funding from the government From 2010-2014 the program was implemented at
Calumet New Tech High School and in 2015 Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School was added
to the program These after-school programs provide services to high-poverty students who
would otherwise have no safe place to go after school no help with homework or the opportunity
to take part in enrichment classes and in some cases little to eat The Lake Ridge afterschool
program provides all of that dinner homework help fun socialization and a ride home
While mentioning roadblocks may not be the best way to start describing the stellar
accomplishments of the Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC programs there are factors that must be considered
1 The rate of transiency for Lake Ridge Schools varies from 40-60 This means that
it is not easy to amass 2- and 3-year data for students who are here today and gone
tomorrow In fact it is difficult even to achieve RAP status for our students which
makes the fact that both the middle and high school programs have made their RAP
numbers each year even more remarkable There was a 50 gain in ISTEP passage
in the middle and high schools combined for 3-year RAPs
2 After-school programming in secondary schools is difficult due to student
participation in sports clubs etc
3 Parent participation is difficult due to lack of transportation and stability in the home
Calumet New Tech High School
2014-2015 All Short-Term Performance Measures (STPM) were met and exceeded projections
2015-2016 All STPM were met with the exception of graduation for which the projection was
90 and the actual was 89
Page 160
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
2016-2017 Two STPM fell slightly short ofprojection The other STPM exceeded projection by 6
RAP Status The attendance target for the last 3 years was 70 RAPs The actual number of
RAPs exceeded the target for all three years
The success of the high school program included College and Career Readiness activities
that included a speaker panel and multiple college tours to which parents were invited F AFSA
nights were held for students and their parents Opportunities for Service Learning were provided
by allowing high school students to lead middle school activities There were also well-attended
enrichment activities that included music dance theater archery and other sports Students
attended a STEM camp at the Duneland Nature Center and parents took part in Strengthening
Families and EL parent night After-school students also attended and served as student
ambassadors at the Indiana Youth Institute state conference All of this was in addition to the
intensive tutoring and homework help that was offered The ISTEP and ECA Boot Camps
were well attended
Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School
2014-2015 STPMs fell slightly short of the projections
2015-2016 STPMS fell slightly short of the projections
2016-2017 STPMs exceeded the projections by at least 50
The disparity ofSTPMprojection and actual was due to the district switchingfrom
Acuity to NWEA Accurate comparable data was not available
RAP Status The projected RAP number was 81 for the last three years The first year RAP
projection was met at 81 The second year the RAP count increased to 111 and the third
year was 91

Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
Evidence of Previous Success
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools has operated 21 st CCLC programs for eight years due to
the generous funding from the government From 2010-2014 the program was implemented at
Calumet New Tech High School and in 2015 Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School was added
to the program These after-school programs provide services to high-poverty students who
would otherwise have no safe place to go after school no help with homework or the opportunity
to take part in enrichment classes and in some cases little to eat The Lake Ridge afterschool
program provides all of that dinner homework help fun socialization and a ride home
While mentioning roadblocks may not be the best way to start describing the stellar
accomplishments of the Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC programs there are factors that must be considered
1 The rate of transiency for Lake Ridge Schools varies from 40-60 This means that
it is not easy to amass 2- and 3-year data for students who are here today and gone
tomorrow In fact it is difficult even to achieve RAP status for our students which
makes the fact that both the middle and high school programs have made their RAP
numbers each year even more remarkable There was a 50 gain in ISTEP passage
in the middle and high schools combined for 3-year RAPs
2 After-school programming in secondary schools is difficult due to student
participation in sports clubs etc
3 Parent participation is difficult due to lack of transportation and stability in the home
Calumet New Tech High School
2014-2015 All Short-Term Performance Measures (STPM) were met and exceeded projections
2015-2016 All STPM were met with the exception of graduation for which the projection was
90 and the actual was 89
Page 160
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
2016-2017 Two STPM fell slightly short ofprojection The other STPM exceeded projection by 6
RAP Status The attendance target for the last 3 years was 70 RAPs The actual number of
RAPs exceeded the target for all three years
The success of the high school program included College and Career Readiness activities
that included a speaker panel and multiple college tours to which parents were invited F AFSA
nights were held for students and their parents Opportunities for Service Learning were provided
by allowing high school students to lead middle school activities There were also well-attended
enrichment activities that included music dance theater archery and other sports Students
attended a STEM camp at the Duneland Nature Center and parents took part in Strengthening
Families and EL parent night After-school students also attended and served as student
ambassadors at the Indiana Youth Institute state conference All of this was in addition to the
intensive tutoring and homework help that was offered The ISTEP and ECA Boot Camps
were well attended
Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School
2014-2015 STPMs fell slightly short of the projections
2015-2016 STPMS fell slightly short of the projections
2016-2017 STPMs exceeded the projections by at least 50
The disparity ofSTPMprojection and actual was due to the district switchingfrom
Acuity to NWEA Accurate comparable data was not available
RAP Status The projected RAP number was 81 for the last three years The first year RAP
projection was met at 81 The second year the RAP count increased to 111 and the third
year was 91
Page 161
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 1 CCLC Grant Proposal 201 7
Middle School students and their parents attended college tours and heard guest speakers
on College and Career Readiness Enrichment activities included an award-winning
photography club archery foreign language Girls on the Run Camp Invention and a cooking
club A Jr Police Program which was led by a Lake County Sheriff Students attended a STEM
camp at the Duneland Nature Center The middle school held several programs and a Spring
Exhibition to showcase after-school student work to parents and the community Academic
programs included tutoring and homework help as well as ISTEP Jumpstart Lake Ridge New

Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
Evidence of Previous Success
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools has operated 21 st CCLC programs for eight years due to
the generous funding from the government From 2010-2014 the program was implemented at
Calumet New Tech High School and in 2015 Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School was added
to the program These after-school programs provide services to high-poverty students who
would otherwise have no safe place to go after school no help with homework or the opportunity
to take part in enrichment classes and in some cases little to eat The Lake Ridge afterschool
program provides all of that dinner homework help fun socialization and a ride home
While mentioning roadblocks may not be the best way to start describing the stellar
accomplishments of the Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC programs there are factors that must be considered
1 The rate of transiency for Lake Ridge Schools varies from 40-60 This means that
it is not easy to amass 2- and 3-year data for students who are here today and gone
tomorrow In fact it is difficult even to achieve RAP status for our students which
makes the fact that both the middle and high school programs have made their RAP
numbers each year even more remarkable There was a 50 gain in ISTEP passage
in the middle and high schools combined for 3-year RAPs
2 After-school programming in secondary schools is difficult due to student
participation in sports clubs etc
3 Parent participation is difficult due to lack of transportation and stability in the home
Calumet New Tech High School
2014-2015 All Short-Term Performance Measures (STPM) were met and exceeded projections
2015-2016 All STPM were met with the exception of graduation for which the projection was
90 and the actual was 89
Page 160
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
2016-2017 Two STPM fell slightly short ofprojection The other STPM exceeded projection by 6
RAP Status The attendance target for the last 3 years was 70 RAPs The actual number of
RAPs exceeded the target for all three years
The success of the high school program included College and Career Readiness activities
that included a speaker panel and multiple college tours to which parents were invited F AFSA
nights were held for students and their parents Opportunities for Service Learning were provided
by allowing high school students to lead middle school activities There were also well-attended
enrichment activities that included music dance theater archery and other sports Students
attended a STEM camp at the Duneland Nature Center and parents took part in Strengthening
Families and EL parent night After-school students also attended and served as student
ambassadors at the Indiana Youth Institute state conference All of this was in addition to the
intensive tutoring and homework help that was offered The ISTEP and ECA Boot Camps
were well attended
Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School
2014-2015 STPMs fell slightly short of the projections
2015-2016 STPMS fell slightly short of the projections
2016-2017 STPMs exceeded the projections by at least 50
The disparity ofSTPMprojection and actual was due to the district switchingfrom
Acuity to NWEA Accurate comparable data was not available
RAP Status The projected RAP number was 81 for the last three years The first year RAP
projection was met at 81 The second year the RAP count increased to 111 and the third
year was 91
Page 161
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 1 CCLC Grant Proposal 201 7
Middle School students and their parents attended college tours and heard guest speakers
on College and Career Readiness Enrichment activities included an award-winning
photography club archery foreign language Girls on the Run Camp Invention and a cooking
club A Jr Police Program which was led by a Lake County Sheriff Students attended a STEM
camp at the Duneland Nature Center The middle school held several programs and a Spring
Exhibition to showcase after-school student work to parents and the community Academic
programs included tutoring and homework help as well as ISTEP Jumpstart Lake Ridge New
Tech Middle School s 2I51 CCLC after-school program was recognized by the IDOE

Evidence of Previous Success
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools has operated 21 st CCLC programs for eight years due to
the generous funding from the government From 2010-2014 the program was implemented at
Calumet New Tech High School and in 2015 Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School was added
to the program These after-school programs provide services to high-poverty students who
would otherwise have no safe place to go after school no help with homework or the opportunity
to take part in enrichment classes and in some cases little to eat The Lake Ridge afterschool
program provides all of that dinner homework help fun socialization and a ride home
While mentioning roadblocks may not be the best way to start describing the stellar
accomplishments of the Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC programs there are factors that must be considered
1 The rate of transiency for Lake Ridge Schools varies from 40-60 This means that
it is not easy to amass 2- and 3-year data for students who are here today and gone
tomorrow In fact it is difficult even to achieve RAP status for our students which
makes the fact that both the middle and high school programs have made their RAP
numbers each year even more remarkable There was a 50 gain in ISTEP passage
in the middle and high schools combined for 3-year RAPs
2 After-school programming in secondary schools is difficult due to student
participation in sports clubs etc
3 Parent participation is difficult due to lack of transportation and stability in the home
Calumet New Tech High School
2014-2015 All Short-Term Performance Measures (STPM) were met and exceeded projections
2015-2016 All STPM were met with the exception of graduation for which the projection was
90 and the actual was 89
Page 160
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
2016-2017 Two STPM fell slightly short ofprojection The other STPM exceeded projection by 6
RAP Status The attendance target for the last 3 years was 70 RAPs The actual number of
RAPs exceeded the target for all three years
The success of the high school program included College and Career Readiness activities
that included a speaker panel and multiple college tours to which parents were invited F AFSA
nights were held for students and their parents Opportunities for Service Learning were provided
by allowing high school students to lead middle school activities There were also well-attended
enrichment activities that included music dance theater archery and other sports Students
attended a STEM camp at the Duneland Nature Center and parents took part in Strengthening
Families and EL parent night After-school students also attended and served as student
ambassadors at the Indiana Youth Institute state conference All of this was in addition to the
intensive tutoring and homework help that was offered The ISTEP and ECA Boot Camps
were well attended
Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School
2014-2015 STPMs fell slightly short of the projections
2015-2016 STPMS fell slightly short of the projections
2016-2017 STPMs exceeded the projections by at least 50
The disparity ofSTPMprojection and actual was due to the district switchingfrom
Acuity to NWEA Accurate comparable data was not available
RAP Status The projected RAP number was 81 for the last three years The first year RAP
projection was met at 81 The second year the RAP count increased to 111 and the third
year was 91

Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
Evidence of Previous Success
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools has operated 21 st CCLC programs for eight years due to
the generous funding from the government From 2010-2014 the program was implemented at
Calumet New Tech High School and in 2015 Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School was added
to the program These after-school programs provide services to high-poverty students who
would otherwise have no safe place to go after school no help with homework or the opportunity
to take part in enrichment classes and in some cases little to eat The Lake Ridge afterschool
program provides all of that dinner homework help fun socialization and a ride home
While mentioning roadblocks may not be the best way to start describing the stellar
accomplishments of the Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC programs there are factors that must be considered
1 The rate of transiency for Lake Ridge Schools varies from 40-60 This means that
it is not easy to amass 2- and 3-year data for students who are here today and gone
tomorrow In fact it is difficult even to achieve RAP status for our students which
makes the fact that both the middle and high school programs have made their RAP
numbers each year even more remarkable There was a 50 gain in ISTEP passage
in the middle and high schools combined for 3-year RAPs
2 After-school programming in secondary schools is difficult due to student
participation in sports clubs etc
3 Parent participation is difficult due to lack of transportation and stability in the home
Calumet New Tech High School
2014-2015 All Short-Term Performance Measures (STPM) were met and exceeded projections
2015-2016 All STPM were met with the exception of graduation for which the projection was
90 and the actual was 89
Page 160
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
2016-2017 Two STPM fell slightly short ofprojection The other STPM exceeded projection by 6
RAP Status The attendance target for the last 3 years was 70 RAPs The actual number of
RAPs exceeded the target for all three years
The success of the high school program included College and Career Readiness activities
that included a speaker panel and multiple college tours to which parents were invited F AFSA
nights were held for students and their parents Opportunities for Service Learning were provided
by allowing high school students to lead middle school activities There were also well-attended
enrichment activities that included music dance theater archery and other sports Students
attended a STEM camp at the Duneland Nature Center and parents took part in Strengthening
Families and EL parent night After-school students also attended and served as student
ambassadors at the Indiana Youth Institute state conference All of this was in addition to the
intensive tutoring and homework help that was offered The ISTEP and ECA Boot Camps
were well attended
Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School
2014-2015 STPMs fell slightly short of the projections
2015-2016 STPMS fell slightly short of the projections
2016-2017 STPMs exceeded the projections by at least 50
The disparity ofSTPMprojection and actual was due to the district switchingfrom
Acuity to NWEA Accurate comparable data was not available
RAP Status The projected RAP number was 81 for the last three years The first year RAP
projection was met at 81 The second year the RAP count increased to 111 and the third
year was 91

Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
Evidence of Previous Success
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools has operated 21 st CCLC programs for eight years due to
the generous funding from the government From 2010-2014 the program was implemented at
Calumet New Tech High School and in 2015 Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School was added
to the program These after-school programs provide services to high-poverty students who
would otherwise have no safe place to go after school no help with homework or the opportunity
to take part in enrichment classes and in some cases little to eat The Lake Ridge afterschool
program provides all of that dinner homework help fun socialization and a ride home
While mentioning roadblocks may not be the best way to start describing the stellar
accomplishments of the Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC programs there are factors that must be considered
1 The rate of transiency for Lake Ridge Schools varies from 40-60 This means that
it is not easy to amass 2- and 3-year data for students who are here today and gone
tomorrow In fact it is difficult even to achieve RAP status for our students which
makes the fact that both the middle and high school programs have made their RAP
numbers each year even more remarkable There was a 50 gain in ISTEP passage
in the middle and high schools combined for 3-year RAPs
2 After-school programming in secondary schools is difficult due to student
participation in sports clubs etc
3 Parent participation is difficult due to lack of transportation and stability in the home
Calumet New Tech High School
2014-2015 All Short-Term Performance Measures (STPM) were met and exceeded projections
2015-2016 All STPM were met with the exception of graduation for which the projection was
90 and the actual was 89
Page 160
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
2016-2017 Two STPM fell slightly short ofprojection The other STPM exceeded projection by 6
RAP Status The attendance target for the last 3 years was 70 RAPs The actual number of
RAPs exceeded the target for all three years
The success of the high school program included College and Career Readiness activities
that included a speaker panel and multiple college tours to which parents were invited F AFSA
nights were held for students and their parents Opportunities for Service Learning were provided
by allowing high school students to lead middle school activities There were also well-attended
enrichment activities that included music dance theater archery and other sports Students
attended a STEM camp at the Duneland Nature Center and parents took part in Strengthening
Families and EL parent night After-school students also attended and served as student
ambassadors at the Indiana Youth Institute state conference All of this was in addition to the
intensive tutoring and homework help that was offered The ISTEP and ECA Boot Camps
were well attended
Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School
2014-2015 STPMs fell slightly short of the projections
2015-2016 STPMS fell slightly short of the projections
2016-2017 STPMs exceeded the projections by at least 50
The disparity ofSTPMprojection and actual was due to the district switchingfrom
Acuity to NWEA Accurate comparable data was not available
RAP Status The projected RAP number was 81 for the last three years The first year RAP
projection was met at 81 The second year the RAP count increased to 111 and the third
year was 91

Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2 JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
Evidence of Previous Success
Lake Ridge New Tech Schools has operated 21 st CCLC programs for eight years due to
the generous funding from the government From 2010-2014 the program was implemented at
Calumet New Tech High School and in 2015 Lake Ridge New Tech Middle School was added
to the program These after-school programs provide services to high-poverty students who
would otherwise have no safe place to go after school no help with homework or the opportunity
to take part in enrichment classes and in some cases little to eat The Lake Ridge afterschool
program provides all of that dinner homework help fun socialization and a ride home
While mentioning roadblocks may not be the best way to start describing the stellar
accomplishments of the Lake Ridge 21 st CCLC programs there are factors that must be considered
1 The rate of transiency for Lake Ridge Schools varies from 40-60 This means that
it is not easy to amass 2- and 3-year data for students who are here today and gone
tomorrow In fact it is difficult even to achieve RAP status for our students which
makes the fact that both the middle and high school programs have made their RAP
numbers each year even more remarkable There was a 50 gain in ISTEP passage
in the middle and high schools combined for 3-year RAPs
2 After-school programming in secondary schools is difficult due to student
participation in sports clubs etc
3 Parent participation is difficult due to lack of transportation and stability in the home
Calumet New Tech High School
2014-2015 All Short-Term Performance Measures (STPM) were met and exceeded projections
2015-2016 All STPM were met with the exception of graduation for which the projection was
90 and the actual was 89

Lake Ridge New Tech Schools 4650 2JS CCLC Grant Proposal 2017
2016-2017 Two STPM fell slightly short ofprojection The other STPM exceeded projection by 6
RAP Status The attendance target for the last 3 years was 70 RAPs The actual number of
RAPs exceeded the target for all three years
The success of the high school program included College and Career Readiness activities
that included a speaker panel and multiple college tours to which parents were invited F AFSA
nights were held for students and their parents Opportunities for Service Learning were provided
by allowing high school students to lead middle school activities There were also well-attended
enrichment activities that included music dance theater archery and other sports Students
attended a STEM camp at the Duneland Nature Center and parents took part in Strengthening
Families and EL parent night After-school students also attended and served as student
ambassadors at the Indiana Youth Institute state conference All of this was in addition to the
intensive tutoring and homework help that was offered The ISTEP and ECA Boot Camps
were well attended

2014-2015 STPMs fell slightly short of the projections
2015-2016 STPMS fell slightly short of the projections

The disparity ofSTPMprojection and actual was due to the district switchingfrom
Acuity to NWEA Accurate comparable data was not available
RAP Status The projected RAP number was 81 for the last three years The first year RAP
projection was met at 81 The second year the RAP count increased to 111 and the third
year was 91
