At PS 9, Naples Street Elementary School, students, staff and families believe in working collaboratively to create meaningful opportunities for all members. At the heart of all that we do at PS 9 are our core values: Vision, Opportunity, Independence, Collaboration, and Expression, or VOICE. VOICE is reflected in all instructional and social-emotional curricula, pedagogical models, and everyday interactions between and among students, staff, and families. Our core values will ensure that everyone sets purposeful goals and works together to achieve them. It is VOICE that will enable all members of the PS 9 community to move toward a shared belief in equity, excellence, and high expectations for all students.
