Greetings John Jay Middle School families. I am honored to be your Principal and a member of the JJMS community. Our theme this year is "Learn. Care. Lead." We look forward to a terrific school year and invite you to join us in helping meet our school mission.
Sincerely,
Richard Leprine
Opening Day - September 7
Students are reminded that we will be on a 2-hour delay for the first day of school, Tuesday, September 7, which means transportation pick-up will be 2 hours later than your regular pick-up time that you received in the mail. When you arrive at JJMS, 6th graders will report directly to the old gymnasium. Seventh and eighth graders should refer to the schedule that was mailed home in August. We have attached a copy below for your convenience. We look forward to seeing you on the 7th!

Afternoon Sporting Events
Reminder to Parents: Students are not permitted to remain after school as spectators at a high school/middle school inter-scholastic practice or game unless organized as a school event. When this is the case, all students must have a note from a parent giving them permission to stay for the sporting event with explicit instructions on how the student will be getting home (late bus/pick-up). Students wait in supervised study and are picked up by the assigned chaperone. Those without a note will not be permitted to stay. PARENTS MAY NOT DROP STUDENTS OFF FOR AN AFTERNOON SPORTING EVENT.
Thank you for your cooperation.
