P.S. Elijah G. Stroud Elementary

Our mission is to ensure that children leave P.S. 316 with a set of moral and social-emotional values that encompasses self-esteem, tolerance, resilience, and a sense of community; a complement of standards-based reading, writing, and thinking skills across the curricula; and an appreciation and respect for cultures and diversity in our school and our community.

We strive to nurture a community of students and adult learners who are critical thinkers and problem solvers with discriminating minds on a quest for knowledge.

We value the partnerships that exist among school, family, and the community at large.
