Port Jervis School District Posts December Winter Concert Series Schedule

The Port Jervis School District announced its schedule for December music events on December 10, publishing dates for elementary, middle and high school concerts as well as community performances. The district asked families and other attendees to verify exact start times and the specific venues on the district calendar, and to monitor the district site at pjschools.org for any weather related changes.

Posting the schedule five days ahead of December 15 gives families a short window to arrange childcare, work schedules and travel plans during the busy holiday season. For parents with students in multiple schools, staggered concert dates can create scheduling conflicts that require advance planning. The district did not publish consolidated start times in the notice, instead directing readers to the calendar for precise information.

Local impact extends beyond school halls. Seasonal concerts traditionally draw parents, grandparents and community members, increasing foot traffic near schools and providing a modest boost for nearby restaurants and retailers during evening events. Concert attendance also supports student programs, both through ticketed community performances and through the volunteer efforts that help run events. Weather related cancellations can affect those plans, which is why the district emphasized monitoring updates on its site.

For families, the practical steps are straightforward. Check the district calendar at pjschools.org for each school’s listed time and venue, arrive earlier than the posted start when capacity or seating is limited, and watch for any posted closures or postponements if winter storms develop. Transportation and parking around schools may become congested during peak drop off and pick up times associated with performances.

As December progresses, these concerts will serve as a focal point for community engagement and student recognition. Keeping calendars current and relying on the district’s online updates will help residents navigate schedule changes and make the most of seasonal music events that are a long standing part of the local school calendar.
