MESSAGE FROM OUR SCHOOL
Residency Verification Opens June 1st
Residency verification, or re-enrollment for current students, will begin on June 1, 2026.
All current SMUSD families must complete the 2026-2027 residency verification process in order for continuing students to be properly registered for the next school year. If your student is transitioning to a middle or high school next year, the residency verification process will automatically register your child at the designated middle or high school based on your home address.
Residency verification is an annual process completed digitally via ParentVUE. Only one ParentVUE account is required to complete this process for all students in your home. Therefore, families with multiple children will submit one residency verification for all students living in the same household. Please note this process is for CURRENT STUDENTS ONLY.
