PCSD Communications
The Poughkeepsie City School District connects families and community members with the latest information regarding district updates, events, programs and achievements through a wide range of communication channels, including this district website, direct emails, social media posts and direct messaging through the ParentSquare and Community Square platforms.
Private, student-specific information and updates, such as grade, schedule and attendance info, is available through Infinite Campus, which has a portal for both parents and students. It’s also where families are asked to check and ensure their contact information is updated.
