The mission of P.S. 209 is
to provide a creative and meaningful education for all children, including ELL,
Inclusion, AIS and Gifted and Talented students, addressing their needs and
talents in a nurturing environment. Standards are addressed through the
continued use of heterogeneous yet flexible grouping, differentiated
instruction, integration of mainstream and gifted students, inclusion of
students from District 75, clear and ongoing dialogue with parents, staff, and
students as to expectations of achievement. The members of the 209 community
strive to provide opportunities for academic and social growth in a collegial
atmosphere that will move our students toward mastery in all areas and prepare
them for their place in a constantly changing society.
