ROBERT TREAT ACADEMY CHARTER SCHOOL HAS TWO CAMPUSES. THE STEPHEN N. ADUBATO CAMPUS IS LOCATED AT 443 CLINTON AVE, NEWARK NJ AND HAS AN ENROLLMENT OF 463 STUDENTS. THE JACKIE ROBINSON CAMPUS IS LOCATED AT 180 WILLIAM STREET, NEWARK NJ AND HAS AN ENROLLMENT OF 225 STUDENTS. TOTAL ENROLLMENT IS 688 STUDENTS INCREASING BY 15 STUDENTS FROM THE PRIOR SCHOOL YEAR. BOTH ROBERT TREAT ACADEMY CHARTER SCHOOL CAMPUSES OFFER AN ELEVEN-MONTH SCHOOL YEAR WITH A SEVEN HOUR INSTRUCTIONAL DAY AND AN EIGHT HOUR PROFESSIONAL DAY. EARLY CARE BEGINNING AT 7:30 AM AND AN EXTENDED SCHOOL DAY (UNTIL 5:30 PM) ACCOMMODATE WORKING PARENTS AND PROVIDE TIME FOR EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES. OUR REMEDIAL SERVICES IN ENGLISH/LANGUAGE ARTS AND MATH AS WELL AS REMEDIAL AND GUIDED READING, TUTORING AND HOMEWORK HELP, TAKE PLACE DURING THE EXTENDED DAY INSURING THAT STUDENTS DO NOT MISS CLASSROOM INSTRUCTIONAL TIME BECAUSE THEY ARE RECEIVING ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTION. THE EXTENDED DAY PROGRAM OFFERS EXTRACURRICULAR ENRICHMENT ACTIVITIES INCLUDING A ROBOTICS CLUB AND RECREATION (BOYS AND GIRLS' BASKETBALL, GOLF, SWIMMING, TENNIS), ARTS PROGRAMS (INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC INSTRUCTION, CHORUS, STEP DANCING, ARTS AND CRAFTS, AND CREATIVE WRITING) AS WELL AS ACTIVITIES TO ADDRESS CHARACTER EDUCATION. PARENT PARTICIPATION CONTINUES TO BE A KEY ELEMENT OF OUR FOCUS AS WITNESSED BY THE HIGH LEVELS OF ATTENDANCE WE CONSISTENTLY RECORD AT MONTHLY PARENT MEETINGS. PARENTS SERVE ON THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES. THE PARENT TEACHER ORGANIZATION, AN AUTONOMOUS ORGANIZATION, SPONSORS A VARIETY OF EVENTS FOR TEACHERS, PARENTS AND STUDENTS. PARENT REPRESENTATIVES ALSO VOLUNTEER IN OTHER AREAS (COACHING, RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES, CHAPERONING STUDENTS ON TRIPS, ATTENDING AND ASSISTING AT SCHOOL-WIDE EVENTS, PLAYS AND PERFORMANCES). IN THE NINE SUBJECT AREAS INCLUDING ENGLISH/LANGUAGE ARTS, MATHEMATICS, SCIENCE (NJSLA FOR 4TH AND 8TH GRADES), SOCIAL STUDIES, TECHNOLOGY, WORLD LANGUAGE (SPANISH), VISUAL AND FINE ARTS, PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND HEALTH, AND 21ST CENTURY LIFE & CAREERS OUR CURRICULA IS ALIGNED TO THE NJ STUDENT LEARNING STANDARDS. IN KEY SUBJECT AREAS, STAFF DEVELOPMENT REMAINS CRUCIAL TO MEETING THE ACADEMY'S OVERALL MISSION. OUR TRAINING SCHEDULE INCLUDED WORKSHOPS IN MATH, ENGLISH/LANGUAGE ARTS, READING, SCIENCE, AND BEHAVIOR MANAGEMENT. IN THE AREA OF TECHNOLOGY, STAFF DEVELOPMENT WAS OFFERED TO HELP TEACHERS BECOME MORE EFFECTIVE USERS OF TECHNOLOGY IN THE CLASSROOM. EFFORTS TO PREPARE OUR STUDENTS FOR THE NJSLA TEST WAS A MAIN AREA OF ATTENTION AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE FOREMOST ON OUR LIST OF GOALS AND A FOCUS OF STAFF DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES AND SATURDAY ACADEMY. IN JUNE 2019, OUR FIFTEENTH CLASS OF EIGHTH GRADE STUDENTS GRADUATED FROM THE ACADEMY. THOSE STUDENTS WERE PREPARED FOR THE ADMISSIONS PROCESS FOR SECONDARY SCHOOL BY OUR HIGH SCHOOL PLACEMENT PROGRAM. THE PROGRAM IS RESPONSIBLE FOR WORKING WITH OUR STUDENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES TO PLACE GRADUATES IN THE MOST APPROPRIATE SETTING FOR THEIR SECONDARY SCHOOL EDUCATION. THOSE GRADUATES EARNED IN EXCESS OF $5 MILLION DOLLARS IN FINANCIAL AID AND MERIT SCHOLARSHIPS OVER A FOUR YEAR PERIOD TO ATTEND SOME OF THE MOST PRESTIGIOUS PRIVATE, INDEPENDENT SCHOOLS IN THE NATION. OUR FIRST GROUP OF ALUMNI TO COMPLETE COLLEGE GRADUATED IN 2013. WE HAVE MAINTAINED RELATIONSHIPS WITH MANY OF THESE STUDENTS AND WILL CONTINUE TO MAINTAIN CONTACT WITH THEM. SEVERAL GRADUATES HAVE JOINED THE STAFF OF THE ACADEMY AS EITHER INSTRUCTIONAL ASSISTANTS/TEACHERS OR CLERKS AND IT IS OUR HOPE THAT MANY OF OUR FORMER STUDENTS WILL RETURN TO NEWARK AS PRODUCTIVE CITIZENS OF THE COMMUNITY. THE ACADEMY ALSO CONTINUED ITS RELATIONSHIPS WITH COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS. THESE GROUPS INCLUDED THE ACADEMY'S FOUNDING ORGANIZATION, THE NORTH WARD CENTER AND JUST ONE SOCCER WHICH MADE SPORTS ACTIVITIES AVAILABLE AND THE JOHN HOPKINS CENTER FOR TALENTED YOUTH WHICH PROVIDED SUMMER ENRICHMENT PROGRAMS FOR STUDENTS AS WELL AS ONLINE COURSES FOR MORE GIFTED STUDENTS. THE ACADEMY ALSO MAINTAINED ITS MEMBERSHIP IN THE NEW JERSEY CHARTER SCHOOLS ASSOCIATION AND THE NEW JERSEY SCHOOL BOARDS ASSOCIATION. 12159276 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 22 0 1 139 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 9 9 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 0 NJ X THE ORGANIZATION 9734810415 443 CLIFTON AVENUE NEWARK NJ 07104 PHILIP ALAGIA BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 ROBERT DETORE PRESIDENT 1.00 X X 0 0 0 ADRIANNA DAVIS VICE PRESIDENT 1.00 X X 0 0 0 TAHIRA STRAND BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 WILSON PICHARDO BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 WILFREDO CARABALLO BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 EMIL GARRUTO BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 CALVIN SOUDER ESQ BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 ZARALA ZABALA DE KELLY BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 THERESA ADUBATO PRINCIPAL, CHIEF SCHOOL ADMINISTRATOR 50.00 X 182471 0 0 SUNG YI THRU 7/23/19 BOARD SEC, SCHOOL BUS ADMIN 10.00 X 32360 0 0 ROBERT CLARK EFF 8/24/19 BOARD SEC, SCHOOL BUS ADMIN 10.00 X 0 0 0 214831 0 0 3 0 1 0 0 13280014 13280014 BEFORE AND AFTER CARE 624410 186008 186008 FOOD PROGRAM 624100 114736 114736 OTHER 624100 5308 5308 306052 13586066 306052 0 0 6223775 5365803 857972 2016252 1804473 211779 1422844 976288 446556 760446 676463 83983 62419 62419 53337 53337 784287 761768 22519 465359 242612 222747 1544143 1544143 2975 2975 3218 3218 78746 78746 44084 44084 PROGRAM SUPPLIES RELATE 379457 379457 COST OF SALES FOR PROGR 228682 228682 139023 53782 85241 14209047 12159276 2049771 0 546518 477759 75000 75000 995831 620303 0 6401 2011417 1517033 566062 494384 2285923 1753844 4469334 3427691 1109815 625315 0 78602 5251688 5238924 6361503 5942841 X -2533231 -3084534 566062 494384 75000 75000 -1892169 -2515150 4469334 3427691 -622981 0 X X 0 1 X 1 1 1 X 599464 272325 327139 1411953 1244708 167245 494384 DEFERRED OUTFLOWS RELATED TO PENSION 1733005 DEPOSITS 13689 PREPAID EXPENSE 7150 1753844 DEFERRED INFLOWS RELATED TO PENSION 1316225 NON CURRENT OBLIGATION FOR NET PENSION LIABILITY 3921661 DEFERRED COMMODITIES REVENUE 1038 5238924 13586066 0 13586066 0 13586066 14209047 0 14209047 0 14209047 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 SCHEDULE E, PART I, LINE 3 OUR NON-DISCRIMINATION AND AFFIRMATIVE ACTION POLICIES ARE PRINTED ON OUR MEDIA AND POSTED ON OUR WEBSITE.
