San Juan School District is saddened to hear of the passing of Albert Hale, former president of the Navajo Nation. In recognition of his service to others, SJSD will join with all Navajo Nation schools in paying tribute to his life by flying our flags at half-mast through Saturday, February 6th.
Exciting News! The Navajo Nation student internet project is back up and progressing. New contractual agreements have been made and work has resumed. One should see workers in the field in the next few days.
On National Counselors Week, SJSD sends a huge shout out to the hard working counselors and social workers supporting our students. Your great work is truly making a difference.
Parents,
On Wednesday, Feb. 3rd, we are having a day of meeting with parents. The teachers will be calling and setting up appts. with each of you. There will be no school w/ no instruction for students that day. Please ensure you make time in meeting with your child’s teacher. There are important things they will share with you about your child or children's learning. You won’t want to miss this. Thank you!
Bluff Families,
If you want to know if your location is going to be part of the LAN Project where students can connect directly to school wifi, text a google map pin of your location to 833.223.8374. You may also text this number about questions related to the LAN Project.
SJSD’s recently elected board members taking their oath of office. Thank you all board members for your leadership and willingness to serve.
Monday, Jan. 18th, is NOT a school day. No additional instruction will be put into Canvas for that day. But this is a day your child or children can get caught up on their work that is not completed. Hooray for the extra day!
DIBELS Testing Jan. 19th-22nd for Grades K-3 Bluff Eagles.
Teachers will schedule a time with students to be tested. Parents, please support this effort and make sure your child is ready for their scheduled time with minimal distractions for testing.
Home Internet Project Update: With the end of the 2020 year, the project contract with the developer expired. Consequently it is necessary for the district to pause a moment and set action steps to move forward. We ask for patience as next steps to move forward are developed. Our excitement and commitment to the project has never been stronger.
Attention Parents, families and students.
Parents and Staff,
Beginning January 4 through the end of February, the Utah Department of Health is offering free COVID-19 rapid antigen testing in communities across the state. Some of the mobile testing will be done in school facilities.
Areas are chosen based on high positivity rates, lower numbers of tests conducted, untreated wastewater sampling, and other surveillance data.
Anyone can get tested at these free testing clinics, even if they do not have symptoms of COVID-19. Anyone who wants to be tested can register online at https://coronavirus.utah.gov/utah-covid-19-testing-locations/. However, we also encourage anyone who might have any symptoms, even mild ones, to come and get tested. Online registration is encouraged to cut down on any potential delays at the testing site. If you can’t register online, you will be able to register at the site. Identification is required.
The goal of these testing clinics is to more quickly identify people who are currently infectious with COVID-19, including those who may not even know they are infected because they don’t have symptoms. Identifying these individuals will help slow the spread of infection in the community.
Test results will be emailed to those tested within 30-60 minutes after being tested.
Rapid antigen tests are less sensitive than PCR tests. Antigen tests work best when someone has symptoms of COVID-19 or when a person has high amounts of virus in their body. If an individual has symptoms and tests negative on the rapid antigen test or an individual doesn’t have symptoms and tests positive on the rapid antigen test, they will be referred for a follow up, confirmation PCR test.
Testing teams will consist of Utah Department of Health staff, deployed National Guard members, and TestUtah contracted teams.

• San Juan County Bldg, 117 S Main St, Monticello, Wednesday 1/6/2021 – 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Thursday 1/7/2021 – 12 p.m. to 7 p.m.
