Dear John Jay Middle School Students and Families,

Welcome to the 2025-2026 school year at John Jay Middle School! We hope you have had a restful and enjoyable summer and that you are coming to us recharged and ready for an exciting school year. We are so excited to get to meet each of you throughout the school year. We have been taking time this summer to develop a plan to have a great year! That starts with each student coming to school ready to learn each day. 

Success at John Jay Middle School begins with learning the importance of knowing what to do, what not to do, and who to go to if you are not sure or need help. To help you, please read the ABC Family Handbook. The Handbook will answer many of your questions about rules, procedures, and opportunities to make this school year a great one for you.

 The JJMS ABC Family Handbook is a companion to the Katonah-Lewisboro Code of Conduct. The Code offers detailed definitions of practices, policies, expectations, and consequences for students and families in the Katonah-Lewisboro School District. Topics addressed sufficiently in the Code are not expanded upon in the ABC Handbook.  Families are responsible for reading the Code of Conduct and this ABC Handbook, reviewing it with their children, and acknowledging that they have done so through the link on the last page of this document. Items in this handbook are cross-referenced to the District Code of Conduct Article # where appropriate. 

 Please read this information closely so that we can work together to realize our goal of maintaining a strong community each day. 

We look forward to seeing you soon and plan on having a great year together. 

Sincerely,
Mr. Swiatowicz, Mr. Pompa, and Dr. Biswas
