Mission,Vision, and Priority Focus Statement

PS 181Q's Mission Statement

At P.S. 181Q our mission is to create a safe and nurturing environment for students to thrive. Through partnerships with families, we aim to provide our students with a high quality, culturally responsive education which embraces the development of a strong academic and social-emotional foundation. We will work to ensure that each child develops confidence, agency, and social‑emotional resilience. We will equip learners who engage with critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and digital literacy so every child can meet the challenges of an ever changing world.

Priority Focus Statement

To build teacher capacity, we will engage in targeted professional learning in explicit instruction, adjusting small groups based on data, and providing corrective feedback to students. This differentiated support will increase students’ ability to master the standards in ELA and Math.

School Vision

We envision a school community where each student at PS 181 engages in rigorous, culturally‑relevant learning and develops the confidence, skills, and character needed to thrive academically and contribute meaningfully to our diverse society.
