G.W. Krieger School is located at 265 Hooker Avenue Poughkeepsie, NY. This public school is committed to the success of each child to learn in a safe, supportive, environment. It offers excellent educational opportunities for students in K through 6 grades in Dutchess County, New York. Students who attend enjoy building lifelong bonds with classmates, teachers, staff, and their own community.
The Krieger Elementary School staff believes that every child should be treated with respect and be given the opportunity to grow in knowledge and self-esteem through quality education. Our students can achieve these goals by being encouraged to do their best and take pride in work well done. The key to our success will be a partnership among parents, students and staff - a partnership based on respect, support and involvement.
The Krieger After-School Program is not a homework completion program. Students are given time to work on homework with meaningful assistance from the staff & volunteers, though they are neither expected to complete nor forced to work on assignments.
The Program offers specialized tutor assistance through Marist and Vassar Colleges as well as the Poughkeepsie High School Partnership with Business. Krieger ASP uses Fast Forward literacy enrichment manual designed to help children learn language arts through games and the arts—during the Academic Enrichment portions.
