Welcome to the Port Jervis City School District

The Superintendent's Fitness Challenge encourages elementary students to increase their activity level.

Welcome! On behalf of the Board of Education and our school staff, I am pleased to welcome you to the Port Jervis School District.

Our mission in the Port Jervis City School District is simple:
To measurably
improve student achievement and prepare our students to be productive and responsible life-long learners.

Great strides are being made to improve the quality of our educational programs and our school buildings. This summer, thanks to the support of our community, needed improvements were made to the infrastructure of our schools. Along with replacing the Middle School's deteriorating roof, capital referendums allowed us to renovate more antiquated elementary school bathrooms and 20 classrooms in the original section of ASK Elementary School.

Good things are also happening in our classrooms. I am pleased to report the NY State Education Department has designed all Port Jervis schools as Schools in Good Standing. Our schools qualified by meeting all state standards and making adequate yearly progress in English Language Arts and math for two years.

This accomplishment is a direct reflection of the hard work and energy everyone in the District is putting into helping our students reach their full potential.

One of the biggest factors in the overall success of our students is our parents. I want to thank our parents and the Port Jervis community for your continued support.

This web site is one of the many communication tools we use to provide you with information about the great things that are taking place in our schools. I also invite you to visit our District Facebook page; sign up to receive School News Notifier messages; and view the Community Bulletin Board and school programs that air on cable Channel 20 so you can stay involved in our schools.
 
It's been said that Better Schools Build Better Communities.
By working together, we have the opportunity to make a difference here in Port Jervis by ensuring that this, and future generations of students, receive the best possible education!

John P. Xanthis
Superintendent of Schools
