Somerton School District Statement Regarding August 3, 2026, Incident
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE- August 5, 2026

Comunicado del Distrito Escolar de Somerton sobre el incidente del 3 de agosto de 2026
PARA DIFUSIÓN INMEDIATA – 5 de agosto de 2026

Today, SMS successfully conducted our first fire drill of the school year. 🚨
The safety of our students and staff is always our top priority. We are proud of our students for following directions, remaining calm, and helping make the drill a success.
Thank you to our teachers and staff for their preparation and commitment to maintaining a safe learning environment.

Good morning, Parents, Schools are required to conduct their first evacuation drill within the first 10 days of the school year. We will be conducting our first evacuation drill this morning. Please help our Cobras prepare by ensuring they: * Bring a refillable water bottle. * Wear sunscreen if available. * Bring a hat, which may be worn during the evacuation drill only. An evacuation drill typically takes about 10 minutes, though the first drill of the school year may take a little longer as students learn and practice the procedures. Please take a moment to talk with your Cobras about the importance of taking these drills seriously. Practicing our emergency procedures helps ensure students know what to do if an emergency were ever to occur on or off campus. As always, thank you for your continued partnership and commitment to supporting our school community.

Hello Parents, student IDs and school lanyard was given to our Cobras today. Please help ensure our Cobras store their ID in their backpack to ensure they have it ready for the next school day. Expectations for school IDs can be reviewed in our Student Handbook which includes them being required for bus riders.

Morning Parents, we have attached our student uniform guidelines for your reference and kindly ask that you review them with your child. We truly appreciate your partnership in helping prevent unnecessary office referrals related to dress code. Beginning this week, our school nurse will contact the families of students who continue to be out of dress code to request that appropriate uniform clothing be brought to school. Let's continue to work together to ensure our Cobras have a great week. Thank you for your continued support in returning annual blue and yellow forms!
