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.

Dear Tartesso Families,

We want to sincerely apologize for the recent changes and adjustments to student schedules. We understand that adding the transition from elementary school to middle school has presented challenges, and we recognize that this process has been difficult not only for our students, but for our staff as well.

We are truly sorry for any stress, frustration, or uncertainty these changes may have caused our students and families. We know that having a consistent schedule is important for students to feel comfortable, confident, and ready to learn.

Please know that we are working diligently to make things right and ensure that our schedules are accurate and finalized. We anticipate having our final adjustments completed by tomorrow, and we are committed to making sure this is the last time substantial changes will be made to student schedules.

We greatly appreciate your patience, understanding, and flexibility as we work through this transition. We are learning from this process and are committed to making the transition to middle school as smooth and successful as possible for our students moving forward.

Thank you for your continued support, patience, and grace as we work to get everything settled. Our students are our top priority, and we appreciate the opportunity to make this right.

With appreciation,
Tartesso Middle School
