PS 261 - Zipporiah Mills

PS 216 aims to create a school community that promotes cross-cultural relationships that value diversity, equity, inclusion, and social justice across staff, families, and students. We believe that relationships are central to nurturing a sense of agency and intellectual engagement and are committed to building a school community that values all of its members and their ever-changing needs. We know the vision must be collectively owned so that all voices are heard, and perspective is developed.  Every aspect of our school building should reflect equitable spaces that are socially, emotionally, and academically responsive to the community.
