About Us
From The Principal's Perch
Dear Families,
Welcome back to a new school year! We hope you had a wonderful summer filled with opportunities to relax, recharge, and make special memories together.
As we begin another exciting year at P.S. 203, we are thrilled to welcome our students and families back to our school community. A new school year brings new opportunities to learn, grow, build friendships, and discover new interests. We are especially excited to see our hallways filled with the energy, curiosity, and joy that make our school such a special place.
Our dedicated team—including several wonderful new teachers we are excited to welcome to our school family this year—has been working hard to prepare engaging learning experiences and create a warm, safe, and supportive environment where every child can thrive. We believe that strong partnerships between school and home are an essential part of student success, and we look forward to working closely with you throughout the year.
As we settle into our routines, please encourage your child to come to school each day ready to learn, participate, ask questions, and try their best. We also encourage you to stay connected with your child's teacher and with our school community. Together, we can help our students feel confident, supported, and excited about learning.
Please mark your calendars for our upcoming Curriculum Days, where you will have the opportunity to visit classrooms, learn more about our academic programs, and see your child's learning in action. Additional details and specific dates will be shared shortly.
We are grateful to have such a wonderful community of students, families, and staff. Thank you for your continued partnership, trust, and support. We can't wait to make this school year a memorable one!
Wishing all of our students a happy, healthy, and successful school year.
Warmly,
Mr. Sadowski

Mission
We are dedicated to having all of our students achieve high academic standards and raising the level of academic rigor and accountability for our entire school community. Through high quality standards-based instruction, within the setting of a nurturing environment, all of our students will develop social, civic and technological skills to create a community of lifelong learners.
Vision
We envision our school as a community where we will provide a meaningful and integrated curriculum; one that will empower all of our students to reach high academic standards, to develop decision making and problem solving skills, and to develop an appreciation of and have experiences in the arts. Our goals will foster the development of each student’s positive self-esteem and create a love of learning in an atmosphere of collaboration among supportive educational staff, parents, and the surrounding community.
