San Juan Island School District Superintendent

Though there are no cases of coronavirus on San Juan Island, as the Superintendent of San Juan Island School District, I will be closing schools effective Tuesday, March 17 through Thursday, March 19. Remote tele-schooling will begin on Friday, March 20 – April 24.

All parent conferences next week are canceled.

I ask that students who are not sick to attend school on Monday to prepare for the tele-schooling model.

All staff will report to their buildings next week to prepare for the transition to the tele-schooling model.

The district is working with Rock Island Technology Solutions to provide internet access to students who currently don’t have access to the internet.

We will have a process for checking out for devices beginning Tuesday. We will share that process early next week.

More detailed information will be sent out as soon as possible. This is a fluid and complex situation and I appreciate your patience and understanding as we move through this unprecedented situation together.

Thank you for your consideration and understanding.

Be well.
