Public School 222

Mission Statement:

  
At P.S. 222 we celebrate cultural, ethnic, and academic
diversity. We believe that maintaining high expectations for all
our students is critical to their success. We believe that respect
is paramount in all relationships to foster feelings of safety,
justice, and community. This is illustrated in our school motto:
Respect yourself, Respect others, and Respect property. We
maintain the vision that all children deserve and benefit from an
inclusive school community. We are dedicated to the education
of the whole child and strive to create an atmosphere in which
all students are nurtured socially and emotionally while
receiving the support necessary to excel academically. We
celebrate that all children bring their own identification,
individual talents and learning styles.
At P.S. 222, we incorporate the Next Generation Learning
Standards and Habits of Mind into every area of the curriculum
in order to foster academic excellence and social awareness in
all our students. It is our firm belief that by maintaining
academic rigor in a respectful and nurturing environment, with
the support of our families, we will help all our children reach
their fullest potential.
