Good morning SMUSD Families, we are continuing to have technical issues. Phones, Email, and the Website may be impacted. Please continue to use ROOMS to communicate with teachers and staff. We are working diligently to correct the issue. Thank you for your continued patience and understanding.


Congratulations to Andrea Stoneburg, multi-grade level Structured Teaching Classroom teacher, our Teacher of the Year!
Ms. Stoneburg has set the bar high for her students and they have had amazing successes in academics, life skills, and self regulation. Her classroom has become one of strong connections and positive culture.
She continues to develop her support team, who are equally compassionate about student success.
Ms. Stoneburg went into this year expecting a completely different path, but has really found a role perfectly matches the love she has for kids.
Thank you!



Good morning families,
The district is currently experiencing phone issues for both incoming and outgoing calls. We are working to repair the lines as quickly as possible. Please use ROOMS or Email to connect to teachers and staff. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
