As school districts around the state continue to deal with high chronic absenteeism among their students as reported on wmicentral today, we feel fortunate to be one of the few where chronic absenteeism levels for 2024 were at pre-pandemic levels and far below state average. SJUSD had the best rates anywhere in the region! This is a huge compliment to our parents and students who continue to make being in class a priority. Thank you!

This is just a reminder that a rep from ASU will be here tonight to share about ASU Sync. ASU Sync provides people in St. Johns an opportunity to pursue a teaching degree 100% online at low/no cost. Please share with anyone you know who might be interested.
SJUSD was just identified in this national publication as an "exceptional district" for the work we do to help students become proficient in math by 8th grade. The study focused on school districts around the country that are helping students in math above what would be expected given the economic circumstances in their respective regions. As you can see from the graph, SJUSD was one of only 10 Arizona districts that received this distinction. We are so proud of our students and staff!
