At P.S./M.S. 71 our mission is to educate the whole child to become an independent thinker, a productive citizen, and a compassionate member of society.

We believe Every Child, in Every Classroom, Every Day is entitled to:

 An exemplary public education that is academically challenging, equitable, and inclusive of all learners

A safe, nurturing and collaborative learning environment that promotes independent thinking, problem-solving, and decision- making

A school environment that promotes positive self-esteem and cultivates strong partnerships among students, teachers, families and the community

A professional learning community where teachers and students are engaged, empowered, and inspired to become lifelong learners

All students will write across content areas to demonstrate their ability to think critically and make their thinking visible.

Students will use writing to effectively express and communicate their opinions, life experiences, and information.  We believe students learn best through:

1. Modeling

2. Accountable Talk

3. Collaboration

4. Scaffolding

5. Workshop Model

CORE VALUES + SCHOOL NORMS+ MISSION + VISION= CULTURE

Our Core Values: Respect, Perseverance, Excellence

Our school norms:  We respect ourselves.  We respect each other.  We respect our community.
