The Athletic Placement Process (APP) continues to be suspended for the current school year. It would mix high school and middle school cohorts. Additionally, since modified sports are currently suspended - it would create an equity issue at that age level.
The Drivers Education program at John Jay continues to be suspended for the current school year.
Per Section One mandate, modified sports continues to be suspended this school year.
THE INDEPENDENT STUDY PROGRAM WILL CONTINUE TO BE SUSPENDED. As JJHS does not know if outside facilities are following DOH and the Governor's COVID regulations, it was decided to suspend the Independent Study Program fore the month of September. Additionally, many/most facilities remain closed to students who would normally take part in Independent Study. This decision will be re-evaluated and a final decision will be made by October 1st regarding 1st qtr independent study.

What have we heard about high risk sports?
As recently as last week the Governor’s State Budget Director, Robert Mujica, shared the following when asked about high risk interscholastic sports:
“As we’re seeing the inclines in different parts of the state, we’re not inclined to go ahead with opening the winter sports at this time," Mujica said. "We’re continuing to look at those numbers. But the numbers right now don’t indicate that we’re going to expand them right now.”
I do expect to receive updated guidelines from both NYSPHSAA and Section One shortly. If you have questions, please do not hesitate to reach out.
Stay Safe!
