Introduction
At Port Jervis, we are committed to helping our

Improving the quality of education
Positive changes are
taking place in our classrooms, school buildings and
grounds.
For the third
consecutive year, students
are benefiting from building renovations,
educational initiatives, and technology
advancements.
Accelerated Reading
Reading is on the rise in
the Port Jervis School District. Motivated by the fun and easy-to-use Accelerated Reading
(AR) program, students at Hamilton Bicentennial Elementary
School, Anna S. Kuhl Elementary School, and Port Jervis Middle
School are reading more often and at a higher level.
