It is our mission to insure that all of P.S. 247's students receive a quality, well-rounded education that will serve as a solid foundation for future success. We will provide tools to enable our students to perform problems, think creatively, plan, meet high standards, and be technologically literate. This enormous task cannot be accomplished alone. It will take a team, including all staff members of P.S. 247, parents, and community members to help students build skills, self-esteem, and gain appreciation for all people. Our motto is "TODAY'S STUDENTS ARE TOMORROW'S LEADERS!"
