The mission of P.S. 268 is to create a school culture that fosters student's success in academic and personal growth. This includes supportive professional teachers who will form alliances with students, encourage risk-taking strategies, and ensure success. All students including Special Education and English Language Learners (ELL) will meet and/or exceed the New York State Standards in all curriculum areas. Our goal is to create a safe, secure and orderly environment that develops character, a sense of responsibility to self, and the school community by showing respect to all. The use of intervention and enrichment activities will engage students and give them a clear sense of purpose. The school staff will be responsible for facilitating students' academic and social-emotional growth. The school community will encourage students to comply to the school's rules, regulations, and policies with the development of strong parent and school relationships. The School Leadership Team will assess the effectiveness of the Comprehensive Educational Plan (CEP) based on an analysis of the schools testing data. Then discuss proposed modifications and/or alternatives, develop goals and objectives, and create action plans that will translate into observable, effective strategies to improve student achievement. As a result, our students will acquire the ability to obtain a global perspective of life and learning
