VISION STATEMENT
The vision of the Langston Hughes School is to prepare all students academically using a rigorous curriculum, based on the New York State standards, which includes literacy, mathematics, science, social studies, technology, and the arts. Our goal is to ensure that our students achieve excellence and develop individuality in an increasingly diverse and competitive society by incorporating the federal guidelines of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001.
To lead our children into the millennium, we pledge that our instructional leadership will provide knowledge based academics to our staff, to maximize our students’ learning potential.
We want to help our students develop to their fullest potential—using their gifts and talents to develop academically, socially, culturally, emotionally and spiritually.
While fostering a safe, supportive environment for all students and staff, we will provide a nurturing climate within our school community. We will achieve this by creating a secure, drug free environment that will be for the benefit of all.
Our exemplary staff will prepare our children to be aware of the differences in cultures. We will encourage them to develop self confidence by embracing one’s self and accepting others’ differences. Parents and staff will take the lead of being positive role models for our students. We will accomplish this by modeling for them tolerance, respectfulness, and responsibility so that they can become productive citizens in an ever changing world. We will also encourage our students to emulate the goals of our visionary leader, Langston Hughes, as one of their role models.
Since parents are a child’s first teacher, we believe parents are the key to student success. We will promote and foster positive parent and community relationships. A design to create a positive collaborative relationship between home, school and community will be cultivated to ensure parental involvement at all levels of our students’ learning.
MISSION STATEMENT
We will guide our children at the Langston Hughes School to excel to the highest standards in science, mathematics, literacy, technology and the arts through the proper facilitation of educational methodologies and curriculum.
