CZU August Lightning Complex Fire
August 19, 2020
4:05 p.m. update

Additional staff members have had to evacuate due to the CZU August Lightning Complex Fire zone expanding. Due to displaced teachers and rotating power outages, you may experience some class down time. We have substitute teachers on call who may need to step in to teach classes. 

We recommend that you stay apprised of the air quality and fire location via local news, Purple Air, airnow.gov, and Cal Fire. The air quality index around Saratoga is currently in the high 100's, which is considered unhealthy.

SUSD Staff: Avoid coming onto campus. Consider working from home if you are able. It is best you stay near your loved ones until the fire is contained. If you must come into work, do not open windows or doors and maintain a safe distance from any coworkers who are there. Staff who evacuated, please contact your principal, Kym, or Ken if assistance is needed.

 Due to COVID-19 and county mandates, the Saratoga Union School District school campuses and the District Office are open for visitors by appointment only.

If you need assistance or would like to schedule an appointment, please contact us:
