 Mission Statement
PS 261 is an elementary school in the Boerum Hill neighborhood of Brooklyn where children develop a love for learning in a nurturing and enriched educational environment. We are equally concerned about young people's social and emotional development. The independence acquired as problem solvers in their studies is also encouraged in their personal and social lives. The school works toward creating an atmosphere of mutual respect. We value the good relationship between home and school and welcome your involvement. To that end, the PS 261 Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) supports the education and development of our children by raising money for school materials and activities and providing opportunities for families to get involved with the school.
All of the PTA events and funded projects go to the express purpose of furthering our children's education. A project of the PS 261 PTA, this website was designed and created by parent volunteers in the Fall of 2006. It is currently hosted and maintained by parents, with input from the teachers and administration of PS 261. The goal is to provide up-to-date information to the families of PS 261, as well as faciliate fundraising. We hope that those interested learning more about our school will get a feel for the school and find the answers to many of their questions through this website, as well.
