DURING THIS YEAR WE SERVED 6TH GRADE WITH 84 STUDENTS, 7TH GRADE WITH 86 STUDENTS, 8TH GRADE WITH 84 STUDENTS, 9TH GRADE WITH 89 STUDENTS, AND 10TH GRADE WITH 75 STUDENTS. OUR MISSION HAS ALWAYS BEEN CENTRAL TO OUR FOCUS AS WE DEVELOP ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE IN BOTH SPANISH AND ENGLISH, PREPARING OUR MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS TO EXCEL IN COLLEGE. IN SCHOOL YEAR 18-19 WE CONCENTRATED ON CULTIVATING A HIGHLY QUALIFIED TEACHING STAFF, IMPROVING OUR STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES AS WELL AS FINE-TUNING A SUPPORTIVE SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT. WE CONTINUED A SUCCESSFUL AFTER-SCHOOL PROGRAM THAT INCLUDED HOMEWORK HELP, ROBOTICS, MUSIC, SOCCER, SCIENCE OLYMPIAD, GIRLS ON THE RUN, CHESS AND AN AWARD-WINNING DEBATE TEAM. WE CONTINUED OFFERING AFTER SCHOOL PARENT WORKSHOPS AND BUILDING A STRONG COMMUNITY THROUGH REGULAR MONTHLY MEETINGS WITH PARENTS AND THE PRINCIPAL CALLED "CAFECITO CON LA DIRECTORA." IN ADDITION, DURING THE 2018-2019 SCHOOL YEAR THE SCHOOL SUCCESSFULLY EXPANDED INTO 10TH GRADE. AS PREVIOUSLY INDICATED, OUR MIDDLE SCHOOL CAMPUS COULD NOT ACCOMMODATE THE ADDITIONAL HIGH SCHOOL GRADES. AS A RESULT, ADS IS NOW A SPLIT CAMPUS SCHOOL WITH HIGH SCHOOL GRADES IN TEMPORARY, PRIVATE SPACE A FEW BLOCKS AWAY FROM OUR MIDDLE SCHOOL. ADS HAS PARTNERED WITH HIGHMARK SCHOOL DEVELOPMENT TO BUILD A PERMANENT CAMPUS FOR OUR HIGH SCHOOL. 6315498 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 9 0 1 84 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 6 6 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 NY X MELISSA MELKONIAN 7185853071 510 EAST 141ST STREET - 4TH FLOOR BRONX NY 10454 LUZ MARIA ROJAS CHAIRMAN 10.00 X X 0 0 0 ROSELIN ESPINAL TREASURER 10.00 X X 0 0 0 ROBERT VARGAS BOARD MEMBER 10.00 X 0 0 0 ZULEIKA MARTINEZ BOARD MEMBER 10.00 X 0 0 0 PATRICIA SIMON BOARD MEMBER 10.00 X 0 0 0 ANGELO CABRERA BOARD MEMBER 10.00 X 0 0 0 MELISSA MELKONIAN PRINCIPAL 40.00 X 166318 0 5862 166318 0 5862 1 0 1 0 0 1034648 15000 1049648 RESIDENT STUDENT ENROL 611710 7384427 7384427 7384427 5223 5223 MISCELLANEOUS INCOME 900099 35261 35261 35261 8474559 7384427 0 40484 185990 92995 92995 4692508 4046643 645865 25900 23879 2021 473431 402219 71212 410818 348781 62037 19490 19490 143178 143178 162691 132062 30629 286292 243060 43232 480556 407988 72568 149511 126934 22577 47178 40054 7124 STUDENT SERVICES 269075 269075 STUDENT AND STAFF RECRU 67165 59276 7889 SUPPLIES 62183 62183 BOARD AND STAFF DEVELOP 54884 16978 37906 50021 43371 6650 7580871 6315498 1265373 0 581863 758664 1232532 1733352 357003 627940 100017 44584 820407 484141 222288 336266 63344 325334 2557047 3826140 575270 950675 575270 950675 X 1981777 2875465 1981777 2875465 2557047 3826140 893688 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 820407 484141 336266 336266 SECURTITY DEPOSIT 325334 325334 8474559 0 8474559 0 8474559 7580871 0 7580871 0 7580871 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 SCHEDULE E, PART I, LINE 3 THE RACIALLY NONDISCRIMINATORY POLICY IS INCLUDED ON THE STUDENT APPLICATION AND IS ALSO POSTED ON THE CHARTER SCHOOL'S WEBSITE.
