1. That it is middle and high school combined 6-12. 2. That it is a magnet school.

3. The school calendar, how many students are enrolled, there is a parent center that gives
information and resources for the parents, media center, school improvement plan, mission statement, and school in for such as address and phone number.

4. As stated in the IPS 27 School website, the mission statement says We believe all students
deserve, High academic expectations, scholarship, the expectation of going to college, Quality education, Respect (given and received), Courage to take ownership for learning and achieving foals; a disciplined and structured environment; a clean, safe environment, teachers who care and are committed; teachers who know their material.

5. According to the IPS 27 school website, the school was named in honor of Charity De who
was born in 1849 in Kentucky. She came to Indianapolis in 1873 to study at the Indianapolis Normal College, and began teaching at School #10. It was not until 1900 that she obtained a degree from the University of Chicago She spent a summer directing pageants at New Harmony. The William Penn Pageant at Shortridge in 1912 was her last one. Miss Dye was active for more than forty years in almost every movement in Indianapolis that promised to make the schools better or the city a better place to live. Blue and gold were chosen as Charity Dyes school colors in 1916. The school mascot is the tiger. The school motto is It is more blessed to give than to receive.

7. After school activities include K.W.A.M, Indy Parks, basketball teams for 5th and 6th grade
boys and girls, boy scouts and girl scouts, and art club. They also have after school tutoring provided by the following organizations: The Princeton Review, Educational Recovery Clinic, Club Z, Sylvan Learning Center, and Indianapolis Algebra Project. The Kiwanis Club and the Propelyum are two of the schools sponsors that send volunteers and give the school donations.

8. The community would be effective if the school closed, because the GED program would not
be available for the adults in the community, the daycare center would no longer be available (or TLC for the kids before and after school), and the resources that the school provides(library, food, pantry, and computers) would be lost as well. The schools students would also be poured into another IPS school, which would cause transportation issues and overcrowding.

9. In my pre-reflection, I wrote about how nervous I was to be going to teach at an unfamiliar

school in front of unfamiliar people. I talked about two very different scenarios that I had imaged about how my experience at IPS 27 would go. The first scenario I imagined went amazing; with the sweetest kids and the coolest teacher. The second scenario I imagined went horrible, with fighting and pushing in the hallways and ill-mannered children. My real experience with IPS 27 went more like the first one. The children in the class that I am volunteering for are the sweetest kids. They are well-behaved, smart and loving children. The teacher hasnt really been there due to some personal reasons, but the time I have spent with her I have enjoyed. Overall, my experience at IPS 27 has been a good one.
