Mission Statement
The PS 87 Parents Association supports and assists the administration and faculty in the development and implementation of the school's philosophy, policies and practices, including the school's mission: to build a stimulating environment in which every student can experience success and enjoy learning; to advocate for a quality public education; to provide a forum for the expression and advocacy of parents' concerns. Parents of students at PS 87 are automatically a member of the Parents Association. No dues are required. We are a not-for-profit organization that supports virtually every facet of our children’s lives at our school by funding key programs and coordinating communications, volunteer, and supplemental enrichment efforts. The PA hosts regular meetings for the general community. At these meetings, parents can hear the latest school news, discuss what's on their minds, and listen to invited speakers.
About This Cause
The PS 87 Parents Association supports and assists the administration and faculty in the development and implementation of the school's philosophy, policies and practices, including the school's mission; to build a stimulating environment in which every student can experience success and enjoy learning, to advocate for a quality public education, and to provide a forum for the expression and advocacy of parents' concerns. PS 87 is a community of learners, encompassing children, staff and parents. We take pride in our diversity and strive to embrace a social compact of respect and acceptance. A central element of our vision is an effective system of formal and informal communication linking and serving all members of the community. We are committed to: • An ethnically diverse student population • Multicultural education • Heterogeneous grouping of children • A child-centered environment within classes • Combining support for innovation with respect for proven methods, such as applying experiential learning to real-life situations • Creating a safe and supportive environment which allows risk-taking on the part of students and teachers • High expectations for all members of our community • Encouraging children to become self-directed, independent learners
