During a recent meeting, Student Government members promote RESPECT FOR ALL. |
The NYC Department of Education has designated February 9-13, 2015 as Respect For All Week in all NYC public schools. During this week, schools will have opportunities to highlight and build upon ongoing diversity programs and curriculum-based instruction. Schools will also have opportunities to begin new initiatives that promote respect for diversity and engage students in meaningful lessons and/or other activities that focus on preventing bias-based harassment, intimidation and/or bullying. Through reading one of many books about diversity, PS4 teachers will engage students in conversations that promote a school community where all are respected and feel safe.
Our school is committed to making sure each student is respected. Through our No
Place for Hate initiative, created by the Anti-Defamation League, and
the many cultural assemblies that take place at PS4, our students are
reminded that human beings are very different, yet we have so much in
common. Since the beginning of the school year, students at PS4 have made this promise:
I promise to do my best to treat everyone fairly.
I promise to do my best to be kind to everyone, even if they are not like me.
If I see someone being hurt or bullied, I will tell a teacher.
Everyone should be able to feel safe and happy at school.
I want our school to be No Place for Hate.
