Vision Statement
PS 199K Vision Statement
At PS 199, we envision a PreK-5 learning community where every child is empowered with a growth mindset. Students believe their abilities can be cultivated through effort, practice, and resilience. In our classrooms, curiosity is nurtured, challenges are embraced, and mistakes are celebrated as opportunities for learning. We strive to inspire a lifelong love of learning. Students gain the confidence, foundational skills, and mindsets that foster their power to shape their own success and tackle any obstacle they encounter. Students explore, ask questions, and take chances in their learning journey.
Our staff models these qualities and inspires our students’ love for learning. They provide engaging and personalized instruction, and create opportunities and space to meet the unique needs of each student, including English Language Learners (ELL) and Students with Disabilities (SWD). We provide students with examples of how to learn from each other and celebrate our diverse talents and strengths. They are role models, mentors, and champions who encourage students to set ambitious goals and persevere in the face of challenges. We work together to provide a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment where every child feels valued and has a sense of belonging.
Our families, community, and staff foster a culture of collaboration. They work together as partners in education and recognize that success is a collective effort. We value open communication and share a commitment to the growth and well-being of every child.
