Dear SMUSD Staff and Families,

Due to heavy rain, flooding, and unsafe weather conditions throughout our community, Saddle Mountain Unified School District will be closed today.

The safety and well-being of our students, staff, and families is always our number one priority. Given the current weather and road conditions, we believe cancelling school is the safest decision for our community.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we prioritize the safety of everyone in our district.

Please stay safe, take care of one another, and have a wonderful day.
