PS50Q The Talfourd Lawn Elementary School
Vision Statement:
At PS 50, our vision is to cultivate a culturally immersive, learning community where every child is empowered to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. Grounded in the principles of RISE—Resilience, Innovation, Selflessness, and Excellence—we envision a school where all students have equitable access to rich culturally relevant learning experiences, strong relationships, and clear pathways to college and career readiness.
Mission Statement
Together as a community, we commit to creating classrooms rooted in empathy, cultural responsiveness, linguistically affirming, and academic excellence. To build an inclusive school community where families are valued as true partners, their voices help shape our work. To equip teachers with the tools, support, and professional learning necessary to deliver engaging, data driven, culturally responsive instruction aligned to the school’s core values and code of ethics. We recognize that student success is shared responsibility. By working together, we will disrupt inequities and cultivate excellence and equity for all students while we continuously RISE.
