This is a reminder that SJUSD will be conducting an emergency response exercise this afternoon at St. Johns Middle School, starting around noon. There is NO emergency.
This might be a great potential work opportunity for some of our students who have recently graduated.
School year 2024-2025 was filled with great moments and achievements among our students and staff, as well as improvements throughout the district. Read about some of the highlights in our 2024-2025 School Year in Review document.

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!
