The district is located in the Santa Clarita Valley in northern Los Angeles County, encompassing approximately 96 square miles of canyon terrain. The City of Santa Clarita encompasses the Saugus Union School District. Schools are located in the neighborhoods of Canyon Country, Saugus, and Valencia. Our October 1998 attendance report shows 8,544 students at twelve schools in kindergarten through sixth grade.
Child care is available at all sites.
Based on community need, some sites offer a pre-kindergarten program. The City of Santa Clarita, the Los Angeles Sheriffs Department, and the Santa Clarita Valley Chamber of Commerce partner with the schools on numerous projects. Students may participate in after school enrichment programs supported by foundation grants, local businesses, and parents. Many community groups use school facilities for meetings, services, and other events. Saugus parents actively participate through the Parent Advisory Committee, School Site Councils, Classroom Volunteer Program, Parent-Teacher Groups, and Bilingual Advisory Council.
