S2 IS A PLACE WHERE STUDENTS, FAMILIES AND EDUCATORS ARE SEEN, HEARD, AND INSPIRED AND WHERE STUDENTS BUILD THE ACADEMIC FOUNDATIONS, EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE AND LEADERSHIP SKILLS NECESSARY TO EXCEL IN THEIR FUTURES. S2 DRAWS ITS NAME FROM THE CONCEPT OF THE PUBLIC SQUARE, WHERE COMMUNITIES GATHER TO SOLVE PROBLEMS AND CELEBRATE SUCCESSES. 0 0 17303183 194660 ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT IS OUR KEY FOCUS. S2 IS COMMITTED TO BEING DATA DRIVEN WHILE KEEPING STUDENTS, NOT ONLY TEST SCORES, AT THE CENTER. OUR STUDENTS COME FROM MANY PLACES WITH VARIED LEVELS OF ACADEMIC SKILLS. TO MEET STUDENTS AT THEIR LEVEL AND PACE, A CO-TEACHING MODEL ALLOWS FOR TARGETED TEACHING IN ALL CORE ACADEMIC CLASSES. STUDENTS WHO ARE PARTICULARLY STRUGGLING BENEFIT FROM ADDITIONAL SMALL GROUP LEARNING PERIODS THROUGHOUT THE WEEK. AS WELL, STUDENTS CAN TAKE ADVANTAGE OF COMPUTER-BASED BLENDED-LEARNING CURRICULA IN BOTH ELA AND MATH, WHICH PROVIDE EXTRA PRACTICE FOR LOWER PERFORMERS AND MORE CHALLENGING WORK FOR HIGHER PERFORMERS. WE ARE PERSONALIZING EACH STUDENT'S EDUCATION BECAUSE THAT IS THE KEY TO THEIR SUCCESS.2. LEARNING EXTENDS BEYOND THE CLASSROOM. S2 OFFERS HIGH QUALITY EXPERIENCES THAT SPARK EACH STUDENT'S PASSION FOR LEARNING AND BUILD SKILLS BEYOND CORE SUBJECTS. TEACHING ARTISTS AND STAFF FROM COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS MENTOR COHORTS OF YOUTH THROUGH INTEREST-ALIGNED PROGRAMMING. STUDENTS BENEFIT FROM OUR PARTNERSHIPS WITH THE PEOPLE'S THEATRE PROJECT AND THE METS BASEBALL TEAM, AND ENJOY PLAYING RUGBY, MAKING MURAL ART, TAKING CLASSES IN CODING AND EXPLORING CARTOON ART. THROUGH THESE PROGRAMS STUDENTS GAIN A VISION OF FUTURE POSSIBILITIES AND FORGE BONDS WITH THEIR COMMUNITY.3. BUILDING A DEMOCRATIC COMMUNITY. AT S2, WE GIVE STUDENTS VARIED AND AUTHENTIC OPPORTUNITIES TO PRACTICE DEMOCRACY AND MAKE CHOICES THAT CONTRIBUTE TO THE SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT. EVERY SIX DAYS, STUDENTS COME TOGETHER FOR VOICE, A TIME FOR READING TEXTS, DISCUSSING COMPLICATED ISSUES, DEVELOPING PROPOSALS AND PRESENTATIONS, AND PARTICIPATING IN DEMOCRATIC DECISION-MAKING. THROUGH VOICE, WE EMPOWER STUDENTS TO ADDRESS IMPORTANT SCHOOL, COMMUNITY AND SOCIAL ISSUES WHILE LEARNING MULTICULTURAL AWARENESS PRACTICES AND PERSPECTIVE TAKING. WE FIND THAT WHEN CHILDREN BELIEVE THEIR CHOICES MATTER, THEY CRAVE THE ACADEMIC AND PERSONAL SKILLS NECESSARY TO EXERCISE THEM RESPONSIBLY. 17303183 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 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 54 0 1 195 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 10 10 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 X ROBERT KEOGH 4TH SECTOR SOLUTIONS 7189167683 120 WADSWORTH AVENUE NEW YORK NY 10033 SCOTT LEVENSON CHAIR 1.00 X X 0 0 0 MINDY TUCKER TREASURER 1.00 X X 0 0 0 MICHELLE DELONG SECRETARY 1.00 X X 0 0 0 JOEL TALISH TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 SCOTT GOTTLIEB TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 MICHAEL POLLACK TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 PETER GATOF TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 ANDREW CAVANNA TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 WALTER RENDON TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 LUCY VASSERMAN TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 EVAN MEYERS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 X 272163 0 30965 KEZENA TATIANA BROWN-TORRES PRINCIPAL 40.00 X 183617 0 19765 CYNTHIA CARRION CHIEF PROGRAM OFFICER 40.00 X 162710 0 36876 YEOU JEY VASCONCELOS HEAD OF SCHOOLS 40.00 X 187246 0 28461 DANIEL SASS ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL 40.00 X 145826 0 17662 LUIS ALFREDO GALLEGOS ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL 40.00 X 143069 0 17430 SHELLEY MURRAY INSTRUCTIONAL COACH 40.00 X 131585 0 16735 STEPHANIE HINKATY DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT 40.00 X 125264 0 7630 ABIGAIL GOTTHELF INSTRUCTIONAL COACH 40.00 X 117304 0 34289 1468784 0 209813 21 0 1 0 0 17814809 2926165 20740974 AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM FEES 611710 194552 194552 FOOD SERVICE 900099 108 108 194660 81707 81707 OTHER REVENUE 900099 53258 53258 53258 21070599 194660 0 134965 979900 812680 165492 1728 9894346 8213173 1663801 17372 308245 253951 53733 561 1109045 913699 193327 2019 1014087 835466 176775 1846 62368 62368 166203 166203 950101 676054 274047 263436 217035 45921 480 131409 108261 22908 240 375840 330624 44749 467 3965683 3291864 666856 6963 110125 110125 1051 1051 222688 183465 38818 405 134032 110423 23364 245 STUDENT SERVICES 930195 930195 CLASS SUPPLIES & MATER. 136038 136038 EQUIPMENT 117130 96499 20418 213 PROFESSIONAL DEVT. 109164 109164 86037 84592 1445 21067123 17303183 3730350 33590 1379485 715133 101272 101621 3606175 3589742 403325 177251 2124005 1261734 755818 862271 1498032 18957120 15712849 25203195 22656899 625535 894024 242144 22964133 19903728 23589668 21039896 X 1407447 1617003 206080 0 1613527 1617003 25203195 22656899 3476 0 X 0 1 X 1 1 1 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 579440 421980 157460 793472 548175 245297 751093 291579 459514 862271 INVESTMENTS 1498032 F 1498032 SECURITY DEPOSIT 47535 NET OPERATING LEASE - RIGHT-OF-USE ("ROU") ASSET 15665314 15712849 OPERATING LEASE LIABILITY 19903728 19903728 X 21070599 0 21070599 0 21070599 21067123 0 21067123 0 21067123 PART X, LINE 2: THE SCHOOL DOES NOT BELIEVE ITS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS INCLUDE ANY MATERIAL, UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS.
