Dear KUSD Families,

Kayenta Unified School District is nearing the end of school year 2024-25.  KUSD was recently labeled as a B district from the Arizona Department of Education.  The district letter grades are based on the points awarded to each school.  Debbie Braff Elementary School is a C school; Baker Middle School is a B school; and Monument Valley High School is a B School.  The Early Childhood program is a three-star school. 

There are summer opportunities for students if your student wishes to stay involved.  Please contact your school for more information for enrollment information.  In addition to academic opportunities there are also several sports clubs and camps available for the summer.  Contact the club leader for more information.  School websites or social media have much information readily available. 

School year 2024-25 will reflect the KUSD strategic direction of providing a Culture of Continuous Improvement.  The schools will focus on creating and maintaining trauma-informed schools to promote student well-being and safe, supportive learning environments. 

The first day of school is August 5, 2024.  I encourage all students to take the time off during summer to look back at the prior year to make sure lessons learned academically, socially, and emotionally support the new year.  We all learn from prior successes and disappointments and we use this learning to lead us in realizing our potential.  Each student, employee and family members can support the school to being the very best.  Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

Sincerely, Lemual Adson, Superintendent
