Hello John Jay Middle School Students and Families,
My name is Jeffrey Swiatowicz and I am so excited to be the Principal of John Jay Middle School.
From the moment I stepped into the classroom as a teacher, it has been my personal objective to create an environment where students want to come to school. It is my hope that the students and families will feel the same way about John Jay Middle School! Over the next several months, I am looking forward to getting to know those of you who would like to spend some time with me and share your perceptions about JJMS. Hearing from you will help me develop a meaningful understanding of the strengths of our school.
It is extremely important to me that John Jay Middle School feels like a community for the students within the larger community of the Katonah-Lewisboro School District. I want all students to be able to engage their passion for learning, feel a sense of belonging, and experience the joys of academic curiosity while at John Jay Middle School. No matter what a child’s background, experiences and interests, I want JJMS to be a special place that they will always remember fondly.
I will work diligently to provide an excellent experience for the students of John Jay Middle School. I am confident that the John Jay Middle School staff will do everything in their power to meet the intellectual, physical, and social/emotional needs of your children. Partnering with students and families, we are looking forward to the 2018-2019 school year.
Jeffrey S. Swiatowicz
Principal - John Jay Middle School
