From the Principal

Hello JJMS Families!

In a collaborative effort, our administration, teachers and staff, have created a distance learning plan in order to provide a continuity of instruction at home.

Teachers have been in touch through email to communicate expectations for their class while we are not in school. Please take the time to bookmark (or save to favorites) sites like eChalk or others that the teachers will be sending for quick access at a later time. Please don't hesitate to reach out to your child’s teacher should you have any questions. 

As students begin to learn from home, I wanted to provide you with a great online resource for parents in the digital age: www.commonsensemedia.org. One of the articles that I think makes the most sense to share right now is about things to keep in mind at home: Link to Article. There is also a new tab called "Coronavirus Resources" which has more great info for parents.

In addition, the JJMS library has an extensive eBook and audio book collection that is available to students. Our library media specialist, Jennifer Useted, has prepared video tutorials on the JJMS Library home page to help students access the eBook an audio book collection using their Katonah-Lewisboro email account. Her contact information is listed on the website if you have any questions.

I will do my best to stay updated on Instagram and post ways for students to stay connected. Right now, a few teachers and I have posted pictures of our pets under #JJMSPets on Instagram. I would encourage you or your children to do the same as it is a great way to stay connected to the school and continue to build community.

Believe me when I say, together we will face the challenges we have been given with grit and perseverance. And, together, we will emerge stronger than ever. 

In partnership,
Jeffrey Swiatowicz
Principal, JJMS
