TODAY’S STUDENTS, TOMORROW’S TEACHERS (TSTT) is an organization that partners with several local and national colleges, universities, businesses, and school districts to provide students with mentoring, structured tutoring, academic counseling, and SAT/ACT preparation. In addition, upon successful completion of the TSTT program requirements, qualified students may be eligible for a 50% tuition scholarship in partnership with 20 TSTT college and university partners (The scholarship is not guaranteed based on student participation in the TSTT program and is awarded by the college or university). Ms. Jill Pisculli is the TSTT, Regional Program Manager for Dutchess County. She will be delivering the program during the school day and after school to participating students. After-school activities and opportunities have been crafted that will provide students with both in-the-field and hands-on experiences to help them prepare them for their college career and their professional career in education.
Ms. Pisculli, from TSTT, is the Mentor and liaison for the TSTT program at John Jay. Please contact Ms. Pisculli if you are interested jpisculli@tstt.org

Bus Pass Procedure: When a student would like to go home on a different bus than normal, they must have a written note handed in to the main office (from Parent/guardian) or they can email a note to : Lisa.Cannizzaro@wcsdny.org Please have your student come to the main office to retrieve their bus pass after 4th period.
Early Dismissal Procedure : When a student must leave school early we require a handwritten note brought to the attendance office or an emailed note sent to the attendance office. When the note is handed in the student will receive a pass to leave class at the appropriate time and Parent/guardian can wait out front of the main lobby doors for their student to sign out in the attendance office and walk out to your car. If there is an emailed note sent to johnjay.attendance@wcsdny.org then our attendance office will call the classroom where your student is at the appropriate time of dismissal to release the student and once again have the student sign out of the attendance office and go out to the parent/guardian’s car. Thank you for your cooperation
ATTENTION ALL STUDENTS: If you stay after school for an activity, club or sport, you must have a bus pass from your advisor, teacher or coach to ride the late bus. You will not be allowed on the late bus without a pass. The only reason any student should be on campus after 2:25 is if they are at a club meeting, activity or sport.
The Patriot Post is also here to spotlight all our amazing clubs! If your club has an upcoming event or a recent achievement to share with the school—or if you just want to tell others what your club is all about—fill out our Club Feature Request Form.
