The teachers, administrators, aides, paras, safety officers & kitchen staff all work as a great team. Their #1 priority is the safety & education of all the children. The dedication i have seen displayed is unrivaled by many schools that i am familiar with (thru friends or family) in many other districts.

This is in responds to the post on Oct 26 2008. Laurie Heedles was the best thing that ever happened to P.S/M.S 207 s P.A. She cared about the school, the kids, and even the teachers. That is more then I can say about the P.A President before her or the one after her. She knew what she was doing and
... Read more put the kids before everything. The school will never be the same with out her. She is and always will be the best P.A President P.S/M.S 207 could have hoped to have. To the new parents, I am sorry you did not get to know her. I am a parent that has had at least one of my children in the school for the past 12 years. So I have seen the best and the worst of P.S/M.S 207. The school is and will always be a good school. The problem is now it does not have a P.A that stands for anything anymore. They raise money; and spend money, that is all. I am just glad that P.S/M.S 207 became a middle school before this new P.A took over because they could have never did what the old P.A did. (And yes, it was the P.A of P.S 207 that made the school a middle school) The new P.A has no leadership They do not stand up for anything. The P.A has a lot of power if you have the right people running it Hope to see that change soon .. Read less

i was here for 9 years. PS 207 was more of a home rather than a school. the teachers aren't there to yell or make you fail. They always look for the best for their students. Though Laurie Heedles ruined 207 when she was there, its still a strong school that I recommend.
