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

Senior graduation will be Friday, May 28th at 1:00 PM. This will be a private ceremony. For our senior graduation, we will allow each senior to invite 2 guests. People who are not on a pre-registered list will not be allowed in the parking lot. Sidewalks will be marked for social distancing upon arrival. The guests need to be pre-registered with their names, phone numbers & email addresses. Each guest will be escorted to their assigned seat and remain seated during the graduation. Graduates will line up for their procession 6 feet apart. There will be hand sanitizing stations at the entrance. Guests will be seated in family units socially distanced on the football field. The seniors will be socially distanced across the football field at the front next to the stage where the dignitaries will be seated. Staff will be seated in the bleachers. At the end of graduation, seniors will walk with their 2 guests out to the front of the school where the staff will be lined up to wave and congratulate them. While they stand at the front of the school, community members will be allowed to drive by and wave. They will not be able to exit their vehicle, just wave to the graduates to congratulate them. An officer at the gate will allow drive-in visitors once the ceremony is complete.
