Our Mission

P.S.13's mission is to provide challenging instruction which will enable all of our students to reach their maximum potential. We want our students to be curious, to be independent and enthusiastic, to develop self-esteem and self-confidence, to love learning and ultimately to become lifelong learners and producers. Our vision ensures that the richness of our cultural diversity is recognized, appreciated and valued. We want our community of learners to "reach out" to one another in an attempt to connect in positive and constructive ways as together we pursue our common goals. We believe that parental involvement in our school community is essential. We want parents to be our partners, as together we strive to help our children face the challenge to become the best they can be.
