Update Your Address Today

As we prepare for fall 2025 it's vitally important accurate addresses are on file with the district for all students. This is especially true this summer as the district prepares to offer bus service to most elementary students for the first time. Unfortunately, much of the mail being sent by the district is being returned due to inaccurate address information, and we need your help to change that. Visit the link to the Central Registration form below, or reach out to Central Registration by phone at 845-437-3480 or email at Centreg@poughkeepsieschools.org, to be sure your address is accurate.

Overview

The Community Schools Model

The Poughkeepsie City School District Model is designed to support the success of the whole child and his/her family by providing opportunity and access to resources, services, programs, and community connections that support success in and out of school and beyond the Pk-12 continuum.

The Poughkeepsie City School District Community School model focuses on five pillars: Early Learning – Pre-natal to Pre-school, Integrated Student and Family Supports, High-Level Community and Family Engagement, Expanded and Enriched Learning Opportunities, and Collaborative Leadership Practice intended to:

  • Implement strong educational programs which reduce learning gaps, enrich and expand the curriculum, and strengthen parent and community engagement throughout all schools.
  • Implement high-quality extended day and year-long programs of excellence (e.g., academic, cultural, artistic, athletic, and needs-based).
  • Coordinate local resources to offer medical, dental, health & wellness for families.
  • Extend PCSD’s involvement in the Prenatal to College & Career Success youth development space.
