About Us

Welcome to P.S. 199! We believe that parent/guardian participation is key to student success; our new website is designed to provide parents/guardians with all the information they need to be active participants in their student’s education. You will find that the site works just as well on mobile devices as it does on a desktop so you can find information on the go.

P.S.199'S Vision

At PS 199, we envision a learning community where every child is empowered with a growth mindset, believing that their abilities can be cultivated through effort, practice, and resilience. In our classrooms, curiosity is nurtured, challenges are embraced, and mistakes are celebrated as opportunities for learning. We strive to inspire a lifelong love of learning, instilling in our young learners the confidence to tackle any obstacle they encounter.

We foster a culture of curiosity, resilience, and determination, where students are encouraged to explore, ask questions, and take chances in their learning journey. We provide a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment where every child feels valued and has a sense of belonging.
