November is Family Engagement Month
The San Mateo Union High School District recognizes the vital role that Family Engagement Coordinators play in our schools in supporting students’ learning and success.
Our Family Engagement Coordinators are the link between the school and families. They create a welcoming school environment where every family feels valued, informed, and empowered.

Supporting our Immigrant Community
Dear Students, Parents and Educators:
You may have read recent media reports about the potential for a surge of immigration enforcement activity and deployment of the National Guard to the Bay Area.
There is continued uncertainty over the potential for an increase in immigration enforcement activity. This is an evolving situation that has caused reported feelings of uncertainty, fear and anxiety.
SMUHSD schools are open and will remain open. School is a safe place, and we remain committed to supporting all students regardless of their immigration status.
