P.S. 83

School Leadership Team (SLT)

CEP Goals

Our Comprehensive Educational Plan goals for the 2026–2027 school year — measurable targets set by the SLT across literacy, math, school culture, college and career readiness, attendance, and inclusive learning.

Each year, the School Leadership Team (SLT) sets measurable goals as part of the school's Comprehensive Educational Plan (CEP). These goals guide how P.S. 83 focuses instruction, supports, and resources for every student.

The goals below reflect the priorities the SLT has set for the 2026–2027 school year, each with a specific, measurable target by June 2027.
