Mission Statement
 The mission of the Plainview Old Bethpage Central School
District is to provide an academically challenging and stimulating
environment for all students, and to enable them to realize their
full potential to be happy, ethical and analytical citizens of the
world.
We do this by:
 making tolerance, acceptance, respect, honesty and kindness
expectations for all students, and for members of the Plainview
Old Bethpage school community;
 identifying each student’s academic, social-emotional, aesthetic
and physical needs, and striving to meet those needs; and
 encouraging communication between and among students,
teachers, parents, administrators and community members.
