There are many ways to keep up-to-date with the latest news and announcements of the San Mateo Union High School District. When your student is enrolled in our District you will automatically be included on our school communications system - ParentSquare - where you will receive messages from your schools and the District, including the bimonthly enews mentioned below.

SMUHSD Social Media Norms and Regulations
SMUHSD social media platforms are intended to serve as an information source for the district and our community. The purpose of official SMUHSD social media sites is to share news and information about SMUHSD and school activities, events and highlights.
SMUHSD welcomes comments and contributions to its social media sites, but please note contributions and comments will be moderated and these sites are not open public forums. All contributions and comments are at the discretion of the site monitor. The District reserves the right, but is not obligated to, remove contributions that it deems offensive, off topic, uncivil, or inappropriate.
The intent of this practice is to maintain a positive and informative flow of communication while protecting the privacy and rights of our community. Contributions and comments to these sites are the opinion of the author and do not represent the district. SMUHSD social media sites are family-friendly and education based. We are here to support and inform our students, teachers, staff, parents and community.
