We have just been notified that POBJFKHS has been identified by NYSED as a Recognition School for its high academic achievement, growth and graduation rate.

Only 212 high schools have received this distinction. According to Shannon Tahoe, Past, Interim Commissioner of Education, “Recognition schools are the highest performing and rapidly improving schools across the state.”

Congratulations to the students, teachers, administrators and staff. Thank you to the POB families that support our high school.

Immunization, Public Health Law 2164 has resulted in parents inquiring about home schooling.  If you are intending to home school your child(ren), the Plainview-Old Bethpage Central School District requires parents to notify us via email of that intention.  Pursuant to Commissioner’s Regulation 100.10 (CR 100.10), parents/guardians are required to complete an Individualized Home Instruction Plan (IHIP) and submit that plan to the District. Please note that New York State Department of Education (NYSED) refers to home schooling as “Home Instruction”.

These are the steps to take if you plan to home instruct your child.  A link to CR 100.10 is provided for your reference.

    1. Notify the District, via email, your intention to home instruct your child(ren).  In the email, please include the name(s) and school(s) your child(ren) attend.  Emails should be sent to despinosa@pobschools.org who is the Director of Pupil Personnel Services.
