Welcome to the John Jay Middle School community!  To assist your child's transition to John Jay Middle School, I would like to invite you to our New Family Orientation on Monday  

August 25, 2025, at 1:30 pm in the John Jay Middle School library. The orientation will run for an hour and a half with activities both for students and for parents.  

Everyone will have an opportunity to meet with our school counselors, Ms. Katie Burns (6th gr), Ms. Annemarie MacSweeney (7th gr), and Ms. Jen Makover (8th gr), for an introduction to the middle school.  Students will take a tour of the building and there will be time for any questions that you have leading up to joining us here at John Jay Middle School.    

We’re excited to let you know that our school is currently undergoing some important construction and facility upgrades that will enhance the safety and learning environments for all students. These improvements are a great step forward for our school community, but they may affect our ability to hold the tour of the school as part of this event. 

Please e-mail Amy DeCrenza at adecrenza@klschools.org  or call the counseling office at   

(914) 763-7510 by August 18, 2025, to confirm your attendance.  We look forward to welcoming your family to JJMS and hope you can join us on August 25th!
