Parents please make sure that your students are attending school daily and on time. We have important mid-year testing going on over the next couple of weeks.

MZC Power Outage Update: Power has been restored to MZC Elementary School. School will resume tomorrow at regularly scheduled times. Thank you for your patience as we worked through this frustrating issue. We are excited to see our students tomorrow!
1/3/23 Power Outage at MZC Update: Parents and stakeholders, due to a prolonged power outage and still no word on when it might be restored, the previously designated "Late Start" for MZC Elementary has been changed to a school day cancellation. Without power, it is very problematic to ensure a warm, safe learning environment and providing lunch is also very difficult. Many rooms have no heat or lights. All updates regarding tomorrow (1/4/23) will be posted on school webpage and Facebook page. Please check back frequently. Thank you for your patience as we work through this matter.
Due to the power outage at MZC and no knowledge of when it is estimated to be restored, There will be a late start for MZC tomorrow, Tuesday, Jan 3rd. This means that school will begin for MZC Elementary at 10 AM. This does not affect Whitehorse High School. Buses for elementary students will arrive two hours later than the normal bus time.
If the power is not on by 7:30 am the day will change from late start to a virtual day. Parents should watch for additional information to come from school on Tuesday morning. Information will be available on the San Juan School district app, facebook, the school district website, and via parent emails.
Thanks,
Anita Jacobsen
MZC Principal

Dear Parent(s) and Stakeholders,
The San Juan School District Board of Education members are seeking information to help best serve its patrons. As a consequence of the Covid19 Pandemic, it was necessary to suspend the practice of rotating board meeting locations from school to school within the county and hold them in one location (the Boardroom at the District Office in Blanding) and broadcast them virtually to parents and stakeholders. A modern, efficient broadcast system has been purchased and installed in the Board Room in the District Office in Blanding. This system was purchased using ESSER Care funds to help facilitate effective public participation into the virtual board meetings. A rise in participation of patrons resulted. In the past five months, the lowest number of viewers has been 60 with the highest being over a 100. These numbers are substantially higher than participation numbers in meetings prior to the Pandemic.
Now with the Pandemic subsiding to some degree, the Board of Education is seeking some input regarding the best way to provide stakeholder access to board meetings in the future. Should board meetings return to a rotation of in-person meetings at schools where broadcasting effectiveness is less than ideal due to many factors, or should board meetings remain in the Board Room in Blanding and be broadcasted virtually to patrons utilizing the modern, effective system? The Board of Education is asking you to provide your input into the decision by completing the attached survey. Thank you so much for your valuable time.
Ron Nielson
