DescROBERT TREAT ACADEMY CHARTER SCHOOL COMPLETED ITS TWENTIETH YEAR OF OPERATION IN JUNE 2017. ROBERT TREAT ACADEMY HAS TWO CAMPUSES. OUR STEPHEN N. ADUBATO CAMPUS LOCATED AT 443 CLIFTON AVENUE HAS AN ENROLLMENT OF 453 STUDENTS. OUR JACKIE ROBINSON CAMPUS LOCATED AT 180 WILLIAM STREET HAS AN ENROLLMENT OF 229 STUDENTS. TOTAL ENROLLMENT IS 682 STUDENTS. OUR ENROLLMENT PLAN AT OUR JACKIE ROBINSON CAMPUS IS TO INCREASE THE SIZE OF THE BUILDING TO ACCOMMODATE TWO CLASSROOMS PER GRADE LEVEL. THE CURRENT CHALLENGE IS TO RAISE THE FUNDS TO ENLARGE THE RECENTLY PURCHASED BUILDING AND EXPAND THE NUMBER OF CLASSROOMS TO ENROLL ADDITIONAL STUDENTS. AN EDUCATIONAL CHALLENGE WAS THE CHANGE TO THE NEXT GENERATION SCIENCE STANDARDS. THESE STANDARDS WERE ADOPTED BY NEW JERSEY IN 2014. THE CHANGE IN STANDARDS, WHICH RESULTED IN CHANGES TO CURRICULUM, INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS, AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT, WAS INITIATED IN GRADES K-5 AND WAS COMPLETED IN GRADES 6TH THROUGH 8TH IN THE 2016-2017 SCHOOL YEAR. THE ASSESSMENT FOR THESE STANDARDS WILL BE MEASURED BY THE NEW JERSEY STUDENT LEARNING ASSESSMENT SCIENCE. HOWEVER, THIS CHANGE IS STILL PENDING REVIEW BY THE STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION. FURTHER IT HAS NOT BEEN ESTABLISHED WHICH GRADES WILL BE ASSESSED. EQUALLY CHALLENGING HAS BEEN MAINTAINING THE ACHIEVEMENT AND PROGRESS OF OUR STUDENTS MEASURED BY THE PARTNERSHIP FOR ASSESSMENT OF READINESS FOR COLLEGE AND CAREER (PARCC) TEST. WHEN RESULTS ARE RECEIVED, WE BEGIN THE PROCESS OF SCRUTINIZING DATA TO DETERMINE WHERE AND WHAT CURRICULAR AND INSTRUCTIONAL ADJUSTMENTS NEED TO BE MADE. THE OVERALL LONG-TERM GOAL FOR PROFICIENCY SET BY THE NEW JERSEY DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION (ESSA SCHOOL ACCOUNTABILITY) IS FOR 80% OF STUDENTS ACHIEVING LEVELS 4 OR 5 BY 2030. THE PERFORMANCE GOAL SET BY THE DISTRICT AND SCHOOL STATE ASSESSMENT ANNUAL ACCOUNTABILITY TARGETS FOR YEAR 1 (2016-2017) WAS BASELINE (SCORES FROM 2015-2016) PLUS 5% GOAL PROGRESS. IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS, THE GOAL PROGRESS WAS MET AS OUR STUDENTS ACHIEVED 80.8 % PROFICIENCY. IN MATHEMATICS, THE GOAL PROGRESS WAS MET AS OUR STUDENTS ACHIEVED 74.5 % PROFICIENCY. THE ACADEMIC PROGRESS (STUDENT GROWTH) GOAL SET BY THE NEW JERSEY DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION (ESSA SCHOOL ACCOUNTABILITY) IS 40% SCHOOLWIDE. IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS/LITERACY THE GOAL WAS MET AS OUR SCHOOLWIDE STUDENT GROWTH WAS 44%. IN MATHEMATICS THE GOAL WAS NOT MET BY .05%, AS OUR SCHOOLWIDE STUDENT GROWTH WAS 39.9%. BOTH ROBERT TREAT ACADEMY 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 A.M. AND AN EXTENDED SCHOOL DAY (UNTIL 5:30 P.M.) 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 RECREATION AND ATHLETICS, 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 AND ARE ELECTED TO THE PARENT COUNCIL EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. 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 AND MATHEMATICS, SCIENCE (THIS TEST REMAINED IN PLACE AS THE NJ ASK FOR 4TH AND 8TH GRADES), SOCIAL STUDIES, TECHNOLOGY, WORLD LANGUAGES (SPANISH), VISUAL AND FINE ARTS, PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND HEALTH, AND 21ST CENTURY LIFE & CAREERS OUR CURRICULA IS ALIGNED TO THE NJ STUDENT LEARNING STANDARDS. PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT EFFORTS CENTERED AROUND CONTINUED TRAINING FOR OUR TEACHERS IN THE USE OF THE CURRICULUM AND ON UTILIZING DATA TO DRIVE INSTRUCTION USING INTERIM ASSESSMENTS. ADDITIONALLY, WE HAVE PARTNERED WITH THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO'S STEP PROGRAM IN AN EFFORT TO ELEVATE STUDENT READING LEVELS ACROSS THE BOARD. IN ALL 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 PARCC TEST WERE 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 2017, OUR THIRTEENTH 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 $4 MILLION DOLLARS IN FINANCIAL AID AND SCHOLARSHIPS 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, INC., AND JUST ONE SOCCER WHICH MADE SPORTS ACTIVITIES AVAILABLE, AS WELL AS THE JOHNS 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.Desc
