Our Mission

    At PS 104, each child is a valued and unique individual. We respect the individuality of each child and fully welcome the special contributions of every student. Our students are encouraged to value and respect themselves, while learning to understand, appreciate and accept the differences in others.
    We encourage students to reach their maximum potential in a safe and stimulating environment. Students will meet the challenges of the new millennium through enriched curriculum. Our students will achieve high standards by making informed decisions as active participants in their education. Our school community will create confident, life long learners who will broaden their horizons and become responsible citizens in their community.
    We want each child to embrace love, joy and the value of education. We envision a school that is positive, safe and purposeful, which promotes a caring and productive environment for all.  We believe that each child can develop the confidence, skills and interests to become a responsible life long learner.
    We believe in an active partnership between students, parents, community and staff. Open lines of communication are essential for the success of our students. We encourage opportunities for responsible decision making by groups and individuals. We welcome the support, criticism and assistance of our parents and community.
