About the Provider

Description: Welcome to Public School Number Three. Our mission at School Three is to create lifelong learners and leaders who will successfully meet the challenges of our ever-changing world. Our administrators, faculty and staff are committed to provide a nurturing and safe learning environment that encourages our students to maintain positive attitudes and have high expectations for success.

Public School Number Three also has a very active parent organization which continues to support the school’s goals during the school year. The PTO works collaboratively with our faculty and administration by providing enrichment activities such as assemblies, book fairs and honor roll awards during the school year as well as other social and academic events.

Public School Number Three currently houses students in grades Pre-K through Grade 6. The diversity of the student population affords us the opportunity to offer many unique learning experiences in keeping with the spirit of “no child left behind”.

P.S. Number Three offers both before and after school tutorial programs in math, language arts and science to help maintain our high academic standards. Our school also offers activities other than academics such as: intramural sports activities, instrumental music, peer counseling, choir, drama and fitness activities.

Public School Number Three students and staff also have participated in charitable activities such as food drives, Hats On for Cancer, Toys for Tots and other charitable activities which are sponsored by our School Leadership Council and our Peer students. These activities help our students to grow both socially and morally.

The administration, faculty and staff at Public School Number Three will continue to provide an educational program which prepares our students to meet the challenges of the future. We are looking forward to a successful school year.
