COMMUNITY VOICES 

M.S. 356 Q 

Welcome Back for the 

2024-2025' School Year!

CoVo Mission Statement: 

We provide scholars with creative outlets and transferable learning opportunities in all subject areas to strengthen their academic foundation and develop their critical thinking and problem solving skills.  Scholars become critically conscious self-starters when immersed in a nurturing and culturally responsive environment that fosters inquiry and discovery.    

CoVo Vision Statement:

Community Voices Middle School 356 believes in the philosophy of “Speaking Success into Existence” through teacher collaboration by empowering scholars and their families to take ownership of their achievements in order to become change drivers for our diverse and dynamic world.  

CoVo Three Core Values

Achievement: 

All of our students achieve at high academic levels. Our teachers set high expectations and design compelling curriculum using college readiness standards. Scholars are exposed to experiences that help them to tap into their creativity and thus take ownership of their achievements.

Collaboration:

Students get involved and work in partnerships in order to achieve a common goal. We take joint responsibility for our scholars’ success.

Character Development:

Our school community models the values, skills and a sense of social responsibility necessary to become productive citizens.  Through the use of social and emotional programs, scholars are taught to think about ways their behavior impacts themselves and others in order to make effective decisions.
