Immigration Information and Resources

In times of crisis, our school communities stand as beacons of safety, support, and resilience. The Santa Maria Joint Union High School District is committed to maintaining a safe and protected environment for all students and staff.  All students are entitled to attend school and receive an education, irrespective of their immigration status.  Additionally, the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974, protects the privacy of all students' educational records. Explore the resources below for immigrant families, legal protections, and educational rights:  

Upcoming calendared school and district parent meetings will include more detailed information and available resources for immigrant families:
