Welcome to Public School # 4

Principal's Message

Welcome to the 2012 – 2013 academic school year! 

 As the proud principal at Public School Four, I value our students, faculty and staff members as well as our community, as we share values that include Respect, Discipline, Responsibility, and Teamwork. Our mission is to provide a nurturing, safe environment where we can promote multicultural education, increase student achievement, and prepare our students for the future ahead.  Our goal will be reached by enhancing the utilization of technology, providing an environment of high expectations, for all students, including students at risk, exceptional students and limited English-proficient students. With an open-door-policy, I encourage parental and community involvement in our educational programs while working with a very involved PTO.  I am strongly committed and devoted to our vision and mission in order to ensure the academic success of our students.  

Each year brings new and exciting challenges for each of us.  The administration and staff are enthusiastic and excited about working with our students to provide a learning environment conducive to each child’s needs.  It is the mission of Public School Four to develop each child’s academic, social, physical, and emotional potential in a wholesome supportive environment.  

While the road ahead brings new opportunities as well as accomplishments, we stand ready and willing to achieve them.  We will endeavor to continue doing our very best for all our students. I welcome you to join us in the “never ending” quest for excellence throughout the school year.

Sincerely,

Sixto Cardenas, Principal
