📢 Community Notice

Over the next week, Santee School District will be testing the paging and speaker systems at our school campuses. During these tests, you may hear announcements, tones, or other sounds coming from our schools. If you notice any unusual noise, please do not be alarmed—these are planned system tests.

Additionally, on July 14 and July 17, the San Diego Sheriff's Office will be conducting training exercises at select District campuses. You may notice law enforcement vehicles and personnel on site during these trainings. These are scheduled training activities only, and there is no threat to our schools or community.

Thank you for your understanding as we work to maintain safe and prepared learning environments.
