From Superintendent Andrew Selesnick
Dear KLSD Community,

In the newsletter below, you’ll read about a variety of activities happening in schools now that most of our students are back full time. You can tell that we are thrilled to be back in-person.

You’ll also read about the Sustainability Club at John Jay High School. We are enormously proud of our students’ efforts and achievements. On June 17, I invite all community members to watch our Board of Education meeting at which our District’s long standing Sustainability Committee and our Equity and Racial Justice Committee will be presenting. We are committed to ongoing and significant progress in these areas and look forward to engaging with our Board and sharing with our community.

Please continue to be vigilant with all health and safety precautions to maximize our chances of a successful, in-person end to this school year.

Be well,

Andrew Selesnick, Superintendent of Schools
Energy and excitement to be together and learn together
All students returned to in-person learning in April ... an exciting transition that coincided with beautiful spring weather.

Flexing a growth mindset in the cooking lab
Making tasty, nutritious food in the cooking lab is a favorite part of Family and Consumer Science, a course offered in sixth and seventh grade. It’s a class in which students make spring rolls and upcycle t-shirts. What the students are really learning through the hands-on experiences is a growth mindset. Be willing to experiment. Use all your senses. Embrace failures as learning opportunities.

Sustainability Club shines in Greenlight Award Competition
John Jay High School's Sustainability Club took home second place in the advocacy category of Bedford 2030's Greenlight Award Competition for their Bimonthly Action Campaign!

The initiative engaged school and community members to live more sustainably through recycling clothing, using less plastic and making their homes more energy efficient.

Congratulations to our student-athletes!
No matter the sport, the John Jay Wolves have been running wild over the competition throughout the 2021 Winter and Fall II seasons! Accolades include Boys and Girls Varsity Ski Teams - Section 1 Champions, along with Sam Spieler being named the Westchester/Putnam Girls Skier Skier of the Year; Girls Volleyball - 15-1 regular season and Regional Champions; Swim & Dive - undefeated League Champions; Football – undefeated League Champions; John Jay Boys Ice Hockey and Girls Ice Hockey - both Regional Champions, along with Tyler Wishart being named Westchester/Putnam Ice Hockey Player of the Year; Girls Bowling - League Champions!

"So proud of the incredible accomplishments of our student-athletes and their coaches! This has been a very challenging environment for our teams to navigate and they did it with such grace. They were so fortunate to be able to compete and they certainly made the most of it!" - Chris McCarthy, Director of Health, Physical Education, Athletics and Wellness
