Dear PJ Community,
There was a nondescript threat toward the high school/middle school that started in a neighboring district. The police have investigated the concern and have not substantiated any portion of this claim. We appreciate the hard work of the New York State Police, Port Jervis Police Department and Deerpark Police Department for their efforts.
As a precaution, the HS/MS students were allowed into the schools immediately upon their arrival and will not go outside for any classes or recess today. There is an increased presence on the campus all day today. There will also be increased patrols at the elementary schools as well.
Sincerely,
John J. Bell
Superintendent of Schools
