High-quality teaching is vital for student success. Our professional development is the overall most important thing we can do to help students learn at Spartanburg Preparatory School. This year our professional development topics were the following: team building, relationships, differentiated instruction, and classroom management. 1021474 In order to build a supportive school community, the administration of Spartanburg Preparatory School has held several parental involvement activities. Parental involvement is more important to student success, at every grade level, than family income or education. We have held the following events inviting our families into Spartanburg Prep: Donuts for Dads, Muffins for Moms, Grandparents' Day, Monthly Award assemblies, Ribbon Cutting & Dedication, and graduation ceremonies. 1021473 The administration at Spartanburg Preparatory School has ensured a supportive school community by also providing after school tutoring and support to students. After school tutoring is provided to students in third through eighth grade by grade level teachers. Research shows that mentoring has a positive effect on academic achievement, and that students acquire good or bad habits based on behaviors modeled in their environment. Research also shows that academic achievement improves when students are given lessons on supplemental skills. 1021473 Students in third through eighth grade are provided laptops in our school's one-to-one initiative. One-to-one computing is an educational practice where a school or institution gives every student a laptop, tablet or mobile device. The aim of 1-to-1 computing is to give every student his or her own device for more personalized education. Our 1-to-1 computing also gives students at Spartanburg Prep the technological fluency and skills needed for the modern world. 1021473 4085894 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 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 0 0 1 29 0 1 117 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 7 7 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 0 X TRACEY MOSER 8038080338 150 HARBOR GLEN DRIVE LEXINGTON SC 29072 Elizabeth Hassen MEMBER 0.50 X 0 0 0 Cynthia Olley MEMBER 0.50 X 0 0 0 Brian Nunes MEMBER 0.50 X 0 0 0 Derrick williams Board Chair 0.50 X X 0 0 0 Keisha Gray Vice Chair 0.50 X X 0 0 0 Mendy Mossbrook Treasurer 0.50 X X 0 0 0 RONALD DELAIN Secretary 0.50 X X 0 0 0 gerard edwards PRINCIPAL 40.00 X 53910 0 2840 53910 0 2840 0 0 0 0 0 3986824 2303 3989127 PUPIL ACTIVITIES 900099 174034 174034 lunch sales 900099 21848 21848 195882 282 282 4185291 195882 0 282 109000 87969 21031 2037403 1644302 393101 26793 22691 4102 290345 245888 44457 164200 139058 25142 7012 7012 14750 14750 67398 67398 379100 379100 234937 234937 PURCHASED SERVICES 580733 416644 164089 capital outlay 453451 443352 10099 SUPPLIES & MATERIALS 352492 307657 44835 pupil activities 70689 70689 43192 26209 16983 4831495 4085894 745601 0 3981209 1503731 70383 91340 31975 47388 5908122 798752 4371833 5109370 8455400 6751829 1000025 76449 5795475 5795960 143993 9717 6939493 5882126 X -9179 878271 1525086 -8568 1515907 869703 8455400 6751829 -646204 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 1 0 Part II-B, Line 1: the school retains a registered lobbyist who acts on their behalf with the general assembly of south carolina. 417080 417080 5267634 670431 4597203 190648 105919 84729 32760 22402 10358 5109370 capital lease 9717 9717 X 4185291 0 4185291 0 4185291 4831495 0 4831495 0 4831495 Part X, Line 2: the financial statements were prepared in accordance with governmental accounting which does not require the adoption of fin 48. 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 Schedule E, Part I, Line 3 THE SCHOOL PUBLICIZES ITS RACIALLY NONDISCRIMINATORY POLICY VIA ITS HANDBOOKS.
