We made it to 4th quarter. Please make sure that your students are attending unless that are sick. It hard for students to learn if they do not attend regularly.
We are focusing on improving reading this quarter. By showing improvement in reading students will earn points to get free books at our in school book fair at the end of April. Please have your child read at home nightly. Each grade level has chosen a focus area. Teachers will be sending information home with activities for parents to use to help their child improve their reading.
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
We were expecting a delivery from Toys for Tots today. We are not sure why we did not receive one. We have no control over this. There is a possibility of a gift for each child in January but we will have to wait and see what happens.

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
