Our Mission  Our mission at P.S. 161 is to foster in all of our
students the skills that assist them to become independent
thinkers, problem-solvers and lifelong learners. We provide an
environment where children are an integral part of a community
and hold themselves and each other to the highest standards of
performance. The close-knit atmosphere permits each child,
parent, and staff member to feel safe, recognized, and
respected.
