Dear Parents,
We want you to be aware of an app that many students appear to be using right now which lacks important safety features to protect users from predators, cyberbullying, inappropriate content, and privacy. The Saturn app for iPhone claims to be the ultimate organizer for busy high school students. Once students have an account, they can upload their class schedules and connect with other students in the school. Anyone who signs up for an account can see all the information about everyone else in the school who is on the Saturn app, information like a student’s schedule, including classes and extracurricular groups. To create accounts, the app uses students’ phone numbers, Snapchat accounts, or school emails. Saturn is NOT affiliated with our school district or any of our schools, and we do not provide information or support the use of this app. We encourage you to talk to your student/students about the importance of keeping personal information private for their own safety. Student safety is our top priority.
Thanks for your support.
The SJSD Board of Education and district administration would like to express appreciation to all stakeholders who completed our recent stakeholder surveys. All surveys are viewed and all comments are read. There is great power in receiving such a vast amount of data. Much can be learned from the patterns and consistent themes found in the hundreds of surveys received. This is so helpful to future decisions both at the individual staff member level as well as the school/district level. Again, on behalf of the SJSD Board of Education, thank you. Thank you for investing in your local schools. We value your voice and perspective. We hope to hear from you often. Ahxéhee/Thank you
Dear Parents/Guardians:
We want to hear about your experience with your student’s education. We invite you to participate in completing the Utah School Climate Survey. This survey includes questions about your student’s learning, school safety, and interpersonal relationships, as well as your attitudes about the institutional environment and your personal involvement in school. Your responses will be very helpful in improving student relationships, learning conditions, and the overall school environment.
Beginning today, April 24, 2023, we invite all parents, guardians, and caretakers to complete this survey for our school. The survey is completely anonymous; it contains 33 questions. You can take the survey online by using the following unique school link: SURVEY LINK. Please submit your responses by May 5th.
All your responses are completely anonymous. We have no way to connect you to your answers, and results will only be reported as group responses. There are no right or wrong answers. We just want to know about your personal experiences. Responses are housed securely in an anonymous format with The Utah State Board of Education (USBE) for evaluation research purposes. All evaluation research projects are in compliance with the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act, (343 CFR 99.31 (6)) and human subjects regulations (Protection of Human Subjects 45 CFR 46).
As you respond to each item, think about your own personal experiences as a parent, caregiver, or guardian at your student’s school. Please answer all of the questions. When you have completed the survey, click on the “Next” button at the bottom of the page. You are done! Thank you for your time and opinions.
We hope you will take the time to provide us with this valuable information. Each school’s total survey results will be used to inform and develop appropriate strategies, procedures, and/or programs to enhance our school climate.

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
Superintendent of Schools

Attention SJSD Parents, Students, and Stakeholders,
On Monday August 15th, all San Juan School District schools and district office will be closed all day. SJSD staff will be attending a valuable training day to help them be ready to kick off another successful year. The focus of this training day will be to unite our district staff into one strong team and to remind teachers/staff of the critical role they each play in positively shaping the lives of our youth.
I appreciate your patience and understanding and apologize for any inconvenience caused by this change. Schools will reopen on Tuesday August 16th, and we look forward to seeing you then.
Sincerely,
Superintendent Ron Nielson

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.

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.

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
Navajo Mountain High School parents and community please respond to the requests from the Navajo Nation and San Juan School District for your comments and opinion about school reopening and/or continuing with virtual learning. Thank you!
Navajo Mountain High School community, After my previous post announcing that we would be bringing students into school on a limited basis, the Navajo Nation leadership and BIE officials met and determined that it was still too soon to bring students into classrooms. We will announce when we are able to do that. Have a great day!
Hello Navajo Mountain High School community. I am excited to announce that, since the Navajo Nation did not issue a new stay at home order, it appears that we will be able to allow scholars back into the school in small groups following CDC and Navajo Nation guidelines. This exciting news!
Hello Students, Parents & Guardians
