From the Principal's Desk

Every printed issue of The Duke Ellington Express, our Principal, Ms. Delois White-Jones, addresses the PS4 community...

Parents are the role models their children emulate from the very beginning. After three or four years, when children report to school, they meet their second role model, their classroom teacher. For children to advance there must be continued communication between home and school so that children can make a connection between what is learned in school and what is needed to survive in the home and in the community-at-large. I have learned over the years that there are no boundaries to what children can achieve when parents and educators work together for a common goal.

Let me take this opportunity to encourage all of our parents and guardians to continue to provide the enormous support that I have come to rely on. Let us continue to work together to provide the quality education that our children so richly deserve.
