School Closings, Delays & Early Dismissals 

Reminder: This page may change frequently, particularly on days when the weather is questionable or in the midst of an emergency . Be sure to hit the REFRESH or RELOAD button on your browser to make sure your computer is displaying the most recent information posted onto this page.

The decision to delay the opening of school, dismiss early, or close school for the day due to weather conditions is never an easy one. Our priority is always the safety of the children.
 
When Port Jervis is forced to close or delay schools or to dismiss students early due to inclement weather or other emergency conditions, that information is reported here, on the district web site, and on local radio and television stations. Parents are asked to please try avoid calling the school offices for this information since it is important to keep phone lines free in case of emergency.
 
Please note: The Transportation Announcement Line, 858-5867, and the old transportation office phone, 858-3213, will no longer be in service after April 1, 2010. 

School closings, delays, early dismissals and other situations that affect transportation services are announced on this web site, and on local radio and television stations listed on the Emergency Closing Page. Parents can also sign up to receive SNN (School News Notifier) text messages and/or email alerts about early dismissals, inclement weather delays, and other school emergencies.

Have a plan for early dismissals
When there's an early dismissal due to bad weather, high school students are released first, followed by middle school and then elementary students. No matter what grade level your children are, parents are reminded to make sure that all school-age children know what to do in case of an early dismissal.

Make arrangements with a sitter, neighbor, friend, or relative who can be called on in such situations - and review your plans with your children on a regular basis.
