THE SCHOOL PROVIDES TUITION FREE EDUCATION FOR PRE-KINDERGARTEN THROUGH EIGTHTH GRADE STUDENTS. THE SCHOOL'S MISSION IS TO SHAPE THE HEARTS AND MINDS OF STUDENTS BY PROVIDING THEM WITH AN ACADEMICALLY RIGOROUS CONTENT RICH CURRICULUM IN AN ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH CHARACTER IS MODELED AND PROMOTED, AND A COMMUNITY WHICH BUILDS TRUSTING RELATIONSHIPS WITH OTHERS. THE SCHOOL SERVED APPROXIMATELY 773 STUDENTS DURING THE CURRENT YEAR. 0 0 11045251 361830 EDUCATION SERVICES - THE HOPE COMMUNITY CHARTER SCHOOL OPENED IN THE FALL OF 2005 WITH 101 PRE-KINDERGARTEN THROUGH FIFTH GRADERS AND GREW TO THE PRESENT ENROLLMENT OF 773 STUDENTS WITH GRADES PRE-KINDERGARTEN TO EIGHT. THE CHARTER SCHOOL PROVIDES STUDENTS WITH AN INTEGRATED EDUCATIONAL APPROACH THAT PLACES A HEAVY EMPHASIS ON THE ARTS, MUSIC, AND LITERATURE, IN ADDITION TO THE CORE SUBJECTS THAT ARE TRADITIONALLY COVERED. THE SCHOOL WORKS TO NURTURE THE CHARACTER OF EACH STUDENT THROUGH A STAFF THAT TEACHES AND MODELS EXCELLENCE AND THE ESTABLISHMENT OF CHARACTER-FORMING RITUALS AND TRADITIONS. THE STUDENTS ARE TAUGHT THE IMPORTANCE OF COMMUNITY BY WORKING ALONGSIDE PARENTS/GUARDIANS AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS IN PURSUIT OF OUR MISSION. THE FORMATION OF A STRONG COMMUNITY BEGINS WITH THE WAY WE STRUCTURE THE SCHOOL INTO SMALLER COMMUNITIES. IN ADDITION TO PRE-KINDERGARTEN FOR AGES THREE AND FOUR, THE SCHOOL HAS A PRIMARY ACADEMY (PK-2), INTERMEDIATE ACADEMY (3-5), AND PREP ACADEMY (6-8). THESE SMALLER COMMUNITIES ENABLE TEACHERS TO BUILD STRONG RELATIONSHIPS WITH STUDENTS AND WORK CLOSELY WITH FELLOW STAFF MEMBERS. THE SCHOOL DAY BEGINS WITH AN EARLY RISER PROGRAM FROM 7-7:50 AM. BREAKFAST IS ALSO AVAILABLE DURING THIS TIME FOR FAMILIES THAT CHOOSE TO PARTICIPATE. CLASSES RUN FROM 8:00 AM - 3:30PM. FOLLOWING THE ACADEMIC DAY, STUDENTS MAY PARTICIPATE IN AN EXTENDED DAY PROGRAM, WHICH INCLUDES ENRICHMENT ACTIVITIES THAT SUPPLEMENT THE LESSONS LEARNED DURING THE DAY. THE SCHOOL ALSO OFFERS TUTORING TO ASSIST STUDENTS THAT REQUIRE ADDITIONAL SUPPORT. ALL HOPE COMMUNITY STUDENTS WEAR SCHOOL UNIFORMS. THE SCHOOL HAS ADOPTED A YEAR-ROUND CALENDAR DIVIDING THE YEAR INTO FOUR 9-WEEK QUARTERS SEPARATED BY TWO INTERSESSION PERIODS (TWO WEEKS IN THE FALL AND TWO WEEKS IN THE SPRING). DURING INTERSESSION, STUDENTS ARE EXPOSED TO INTEGRATED PROGRAMS THAT DELVE MORE DEEPLY INTO CONCEPTS LEARNED IN THE CLASSROOM. THIS CALENDAR FORMAT IS PARTICULARLY HELPFUL IN ENHANCING STUDENTS RETENTION OF THE CURRICULUM WHILE CREATING OPPORTUNITIES FOR ENRICHMENT AND REINFORCEMENT. HOPE COMMUNITY BELIEVES THAT PARENTS HAVE THE PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITY FOR TEACHING THEIR CHILDREN AND IT IS THE SCHOOL'S ROLE TO WORK ALONGSIDE PARENTS AND SUPPORT THEM IN THIS TASK. HOPE COMMUNITY ASKS PARENTS TO SIGN A COVENANT AGREEMENT WITH THE SCHOOL ACCEPTING THESE RESPONSIBILITIES AND COMMITING TO WORK WITH US TO FULFILL OUR MISSION. HOPE HAS ALSO FORMED A PARENT COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP TEAM TO GIVE PARENTS AN ACTIVE ROLE IN THE DAILY DECISIONS OF THE SCHOOL. 11045251 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 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 45 0 1 185 1 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 1 0 X THE ORGANIZATION 2028327370 2917 8TH STREET NE WASHINGTON DC 20017 JAMES KEMP 2.00 X 0 0 0 KEVIN WELCH 2.00 X 0 0 0 JENNIFER GORENSTEIN 2.00 X 0 0 0 ANDRE FLEMING 2.00 X 0 0 0 RUBEN GONZALEZ 2.00 X 0 0 0 TARA WILLIAMS 2.00 X 0 0 0 CHLOE MARSHALL 40.00 X 99058 0 3394 NIYEKA WILSON 40.00 X 92849 0 3394 191907 0 6788 0 0 0 0 SCHOOL HOUSE FINANCE 1005 N GLEBE RD STE 610 ARLINGTON VA 22201 SCHOOL BUILDING OWNER 2534024 IMAGINE SCHOOLS DC REGIONAL OFFICE 601 7TH STREET STE 202 LAUREL MD 20707 STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT OF IMAGINE SCHOOLS 1454636 BLUE CROSS BLUE SHIELD PO BOX 55391 DETROIT MI 48255 HEALTH INSURANCE PROVIDER 496305 NUTRITION INC PO BOX 30985 WASHINGTON DC 20030 CAFETERIA FOOD SERVICE PROVIDER 260970 DIRT DIVERS INCORPORATED 10127 ELLARD DRIVE LANHAM MD 20706 JANITORIAL SERVICES 244929 6 12796575 12796575 STUDENT CARE REVENUE 900099 244632 244632 FOOD SERVICE REVENUE 900099 117198 117198 361830 13158405 361830 0 0 198695 180729 17966 4728485 4627653 100832 35975 32722 3253 571994 520275 51719 418250 380431 37819 1481974 4454 1477520 30074 30074 19603 19603 705613 705613 36284 36284 213241 88942 124299 136982 131766 5216 3015598 2742923 272675 12696 11548 1148 166155 157095 9060 34048 30969 3079 EARLY READING FIRST 946584 946584 CLASSROOM SUPPLIES 215393 215393 0 0 302770 231870 70900 13270414 11045251 2225163 0 43030 808215 544708 703512 24881 187596 109532 92734 602593 512184 151874 90409 874025 1882466 594646 1214095 219185 61778 888446 1546854 1702277 2822727 X 0 0 0 0 0 -112009 -828252 -940261 874025 1882466 -112009 0 X 0 1 0 X 1 1 X 6965 502 6463 595628 511682 83946 90409 DUE TO AFFILIATED PARTY 1546854 1546854 13158405 13270414 -112009 0 -112009 13158405 0 13158405 0 13158405 13270414 0 13270414 0 13270414 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 EXPLANATION OF NONDISCRIMINATORY POLICY PUBLICATION SCHEDULE E, PART I, LINE 3 THE SCHOOL IS A PUBLIC CHARTER SCHOOL AND IS OPERATING UNDER CONTRACT WITH THE DC GOVERNMENT.
