Hello and welcome to the Achievers’ Program Website for the 2021-2022 school year!

My name is Kelly Jancski, and I have the immense pleasure of being the 9th grade IDEA teacher for the second semester of 2022. Cheers to Ms. Bosson for her tireless work with these gifted students in the first semester!

I am an English teacher with a masters degree in secondary education. I spent many joyous years in the English Department at Staples High School in Westport, Connecticut, so this return to the classroom feels like coming home.

I can't imagine a more fun and rewarding place to find myself this semester than with this wonderful group of IDEA students. They are hard-working, curious and invested not only in their own projects but also in supporting the work of their peers. Please browse around this website to see how the student’s projects are progressing over time.

We look forward to greeting you at Achievers' Night on May 23rd. If you have any questions throughout the semester, or would like to offer any suggestions, encouragement or resources to for any of the students, please email me: kjancski@darienps.org
