Don't forget tomorrow night is Tartessos Fall Family Dance. Bring the whole family for some fun! Please remember that kids can not attend the dance without a parent.
Thank you to our community members who were able to join us at the community forums. We appreciate the questions and time spent together. In response to those questions, we have created the following charts to share about district Bond/Override spending. We have also included the preliminary designs for the new school construction. In addition, we have decided to host a LIVE YouTube Question and Answer session on Oct 16th at 5:00 p.m. Please feel free to submit questions (https://forms.gle/jBCYhnCViLfsi1Nt8). You will also be able to submit questions live using the same link. We look forward to sharing more information with you about the Bond and Override election. Thank you for supporting Saddle Mountain Unified School District.

🍭 Send in bags of individually wrapped candy with your student.
🍫 Make sure the candy is unopened and school-appropriate.
🍬 Turn in donations by Wednesday, October 23rd so we can have everything ready for the big night!
