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!
