Overview

 

MISSION
PS 133 is a community school that sets the foundation for students and staff to be life-long learners.  We educate the social-emotional and academic needs of every child in order to establish a strong foundation for life.  We encourage our students to be prideful about themselves and where they come from, their capabilities and their potential.  We commit ourselves to partner with parents in the educational process of our children through communication that is open, honest and respectful.  Our staff works collaboratively in small teams in order to develop their ideas and take ownership over projects that have a school-wide impact.  We aim to reflect on our practice and the school environment constantly while maintaining standards and high expectations for teaching and learning.  We support each other as individuals and team members who take risks, and push ourselves to be great.


VISION
We envision PS 133 students to be future leaders who are great communicators, critical thinkers, and responsible citizens who have respect for themselves and the world around.  Our students will comprehend ideas of charity and value public service; they will have self-confidence that will allow them to take risks, and see themselves as people who can make a difference in the world.

We envision a community where our families are completely invested in the collaborative process of educating children, and feel empowered to voice their opinions because their ideas will be heard at our school. 

We envision a school staff that brings passion and rigor to the classroom everyday with the understanding that each child’s success is their legacy.
