Welcome to Public School # 4

Principal's Message

Dedicated Staff and Parents,

As we look forward to a new school year, I would like to welcome everyone back to our second home, Public School Number Four.  It is with excitement and anticipation that we enter into 2010-2011, our 105th year.

We intend to carry on the Number Four tradition of providing an outstanding, well-rounded education to all of our students.   As part of our dedicated and experienced staff, I know that we will work together to continue to our children in developing the skills that are necessary for them to succeed.  The P.S. Four team recognizes that each student has unique capabilities and learning styles.  Therefore, our teachers strive to accommodate all of our students by creating a positive and challenging learning environment.

As we look forward to meeting the challenges of a new year, I encourage our staff and parents alike to maintain the goals and objectives in ensuring that each and every student reaches his or her full potential by utilizing all of the resources that we have available here at P.S. Four.  For example, our state of the art media center, active PTO, as well as the various programs that we offer to our student population help build the foundation for high student achievement.   Our support team consisting of but not limited to our nurse, social worker and child study team will also help meet  the expectations of the community and its diverse population.

As the Principal of Public School Number Four and on behalf of the school administration I welcome you back and look forward to working together to maintain our legacy of excellence.

Sincerely,

Bernard Abbadessa, Principal
