Parents, in the March 9th, SJSD board meeting, the SJSD Board of Education will be discussing school fees and spend plans for the 2022-2023 school year. These proposed fees and spend plans must be available at least twice for public input and must be officially approved before April 1st. This is the third opportunity for public input and the last opportunity to be approved before April 1st. These fees are included in the agenda which can be viewed by going to the district website. (www.sjsd.org) Anyone wishing to make a comment regarding the proposed fee schedule, can do so in next Wednesday Board Meeting either in person or virtually. Your input is greatly valued.
Notice: Due to COVID precautions and the Navajo Nation remaining in the 'RED" status, the March SJSD Board Meeting, previously scheduled for March 9th at Monument Valley High School, will be held at the District Office in Blanding Utah, and broadcasted to the public. A link to stream the meeting will be available early next week on the district website . Thank You
Dear Parent and Public,
Our number one goal is to ensure that students and staff have a safe and welcoming environment that promotes learning, and at this time I am happy to report that students and staff of San Juan School District are safe. Yesterday afternoon, a threatening comment was received at one our schools. Then, latter in the evening a suspicious device appearing to be some type of home-made explosives was found at a second SJSD school. The San Juan County Sherriff’s Department along with the Navajo Nation Police responded and determined it to be non-functional as an explosive device but still dangerous in nature. These incidents added to the recent activity on TikTok and our commitment to ensure the continued safety of students and staff, the decision to was made that Friday December 17th would be a virtual day of instruction for all students. This will allow time for further investigation. I thank you for your patience and understanding as we continue to work through this situation. We do believe these incidents are related to the TikTok challenge. We plan on students returning to face-to-face instruction Monday, Dec 20th. Should anything come to light in our ongoing investigation to require a change of plan, we will again reach out to inform parents and public. Again, thank you for your patience and understanding as we look further into these incidents.
Sincerely,
Ron Nielson
SJSD Superintendent

Dear ARL Families,
As you all are aware, there are very cold temperatures in the forecast this week. Last week, our custodians prepared to turn on the boiler system in anticipation of the cold weather. Unfortunately, a leak in the system was discovered, and we are unable to turn on the heat in the building until the leak is fixed. We have repairs scheduled for later in the week. In the meantime, we are working to secure space heaters to keep our classrooms warm. I would suggest making sure your students dress in long sleeves, sweatshirts, or a coat this week if possible. We apologize for the inconvenience and will work as quickly as possible to correct the situation. We will make you all aware of any changes as they occur. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Mr. Bowers’ Leadership class learned about teamwork today by working to together to create pyramids without using their hands. #Stangstuff
Students in 6th grade Science got some hands on experience learning about mass and gravitational pull.
6th Grade students recently went on a field to the Dude Ranch! They got to spend the afternoon exploring the area and playing games.
