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.

Together, We are Champions for Children in Poughkeepsie City Schools
Poughkeepsie Parents and Caregivers,
New York State Election Law (Section 5-507) has been updated, requiring school districts to promote and encourage voter registration and pre-registration. At its December 2023 meeting the Poughkeepsie City School District Board of Education approved Policy 5605 to support the updated law.
Students 16 & 17 years of age and who are otherwise qualified may pre-register to vote. To support the pre-registration process, Poughkeepsie High School will educate, engage, and empower students to exercise their right to vote. It is important to note, these students will not be able to vote prior to turning 18 years old.
Students who are already 18 years old will receive an application so they can fully register to vote. We ask that parents, caregivers, and students take responsibility in mailing the completed application to the Dutchess County Board of Elections.
If you have any questions about you or your child voting please call the Dutchess County Board of Elections at 845-486-2473.
