Dear SJUSD Community,
Like you, we are shocked and deeply saddened by the news of the shooting at Robb Elementary School in Texas on Tuesday. We share in the heartbreak we are all feeling for the families who have lost a loved one due to this senseless act of violence.
School should and must be a place where students feel completely safe and secure. As an added precaution, we have charged each of our school’s administration teams to increase security and awareness in their buildings this week. This Summer we also plan to revisit our school safety plan and make needed adjustments. We will do all we can to make our schools as safe as possible.
Please join us in keeping the students, staff, and families of the Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District in our thoughts at this time.
Sincerely,
Kyle Patterson
Superintendent
SJUSD

Mrs. Diggs provided breakfast for all of the students who read more than one million words this year at the middle school. There were 36 kids who met this goal, with our highest student reading over 4 million words! A huge shout out to these kids for such an amazing accomplishment.
Our 5th and 6th grade teachers and their students have been busy! It has been so much fun this week to see their science projects, writing pieces, and to stroll through their Ancient History Museum. These students did amazing!
Shoutout to Mrs. Ashton and our 8th graders! All high schoolers are required to pass the Arizona Civics Test before they can graduate. This year we decided to have our 8th graders take the test just to see how they would do before high school. All but 11 of them passed it! Mrs. Ashton has done an amazing job with these kids over the past two years, preparing them to pass a test intended for high schoolers on their first try. We are so grateful for our teachers that are instilling within our students a love of their country and a strong base in civics education.
The 5th grade science fair is on 5-18-22 from 7:00 pm to 8:00 pm.
