Principal's Community Letter

March 2020

Dear John Jay Community,

I hope this message finds you all physically well and coping well emotionally with our present circumstances.  We are grateful for the level of patience and cooperation extended as we have had to retool our students’ experiences in real time.  Certainly, this is not what anyone wanted, nor would it have ever been the chosen approach to instituting distance learning opportunities for our students.  Nevertheless, here we are and I’m exceedingly grateful to our teachers for their can-do spirit and energy as we made this sudden shift together.

Teachers, counselors, and administrators will be checking in early and often to see how students are navigating these changes and to see if we can provide any additional support.  We ask for your continued patience and support as we engage this process and evaluate what is working well and where adjustments can be made.  Updates will be provided on issues of concern to all as soon as we are able.  Thank you for your ongoing feedback and questions.  They are helpful.

While the current course is not optimal, there’s always the hope that positives will emerge from this national and world-wide emergency.  As ancient wisdom teaches, opportunity is present in every crisis.  I hope that we will continue looking to seize opportunities to model for our students selflessness, civic-mindedness, resilience, and compassion.

I am looking forward to seeing everyone again under the friendly roof of John Jay High School sooner rather than later.  If I can be of any help at this time, please reach out and I will respond within 24 hours or less.

Ancient wisdom also teaches, “This too shall pass.”  And it will.  Let’s do all we can to ensure all of us emerge from this healthy and more grateful for all the good in our lives.

Sincerely,

Steven T. Siciliano, Ed.D.
