Welcome to The Clement C. Moore School, a vibrant and inclusive learning community located in the heart of Elmhurst, Queens. I am proud to lead a school that serves a richly diverse student population, reflecting the many cultures, languages, and traditions that strengthen our community every day.
In alignment with the NYC Public Schools’ commitment to equity and excellence for all students, we provide high-quality instructional programs designed to meet the needs of every learner. Our school offers a Spanish Dual Language Bilingual Program (K–5), a Mandarin Dual Language Program (K–4 and growing), a Spanish Transitional Bilingual Special Education Program (K–5), the Horizon Special Education Program (K and growing), General Education, and a strong English as a New Language (ENL) Program. These programs support academic achievement while honoring students’ linguistic and cultural identities.
At Clement C. Moore, we believe that diversity is a strength and that all students deserve a safe, supportive, and engaging learning environment. I work closely with our dedicated staff, families, and community partners to ensure that every child feels valued, challenged, and empowered to reach their full potential.
I am proud of our students, our families, and our school community, and I look forward to continuing our shared work to support student growth, achievement, and lifelong learning.
Sincerely,
Dr. Yazmín Torres
Principal, P.S. 13 The Clement C. Moore School
