Mission and Beliefs

Mission
The Mission of PS 307 is to prepare students to meet all Elementary school academic standards for proficiency.  We believe a nurturing, well structured and rigorous education in the core curriculum and the arts provides children with an understanding of the world and how it works, and mastery of those math, literacy and higher order thinking skills necessary for success in a rapidly changing and highly competitive world.  We believe that a well rounded education in the language arts, math, science, social studies, the arts and service learning will enable our students to grow both intellectually and socially.  We envision all of our students achieving academic and personal excellence.

What we believe
*Children learn best in a clean, safe, organized environment.

*Every child has a capacity to be successful in school.

*Respect, personal responsibility, resilience and reasoning are our core values. These ideas guide our community building and developmental approach.

Core Values
We believe children learn best in a classroom environment where they learn to respect each other as unique individuals and devleop responsibility for making right choices.  Resiliency is an important life skill and we encourage students to persist in reaching their goals in spite of adversity.  We believe that the capacity to make reasoned, informed decisions is critical to success in life.  All members of our school community strive to adhere to these guiding principals with the understanding that they will help us achieve our Mission for the students attending PS 307.
