PS 102 Mission Statement: Our core belief is that all children can achieve higher levels of academic success when provided with an interactive and challenging program, focusing on the individual needs of our multicultural population. A highly effective partnership between our school staff and school community insures the intellectual, social and creative growth of all our children, while establishing high standards of excellence and achievement. The primary focus of this well-balanced union will continue to be on literacy, supported by technology, which will be used as a vital tool to achieve curriculum objectives. As we implement balanced literacy and strive to surpass New Standards performance criteria, we encourage our student to become independent thinkers, problem solvers and future leaders of tomorrow.
