Santiago Charter Middle School

Hello Santiago Families-

We hope all of our families had a great first week back. Please note that there is no school on Monday (1/20) in observance of Martin Luther King Jr.

Open House/Showcase: Join us Tuesday (1/21) for our Open House/Showcase from 6-7:30p. The event will feature performances by our talented music, choir and cheer teams. In addition to the performances, we will have a taco vendor onsite offering delicious meals for purchase, making it convenient to enjoy dinner while you're here. It's a perfect opportunity to mingle with other parents and enjoy a fun evening together! You'll also have the chance to meet with our core teachers in the cafeteria and explore our diverse elective courses in their respective classrooms. El Modena High School will be joining us as well and will be available to answer any questions you may have and to provide insights into what our feeder high school has to offer. Stay tuned for a special edition of our newsletter going out Monday with more details.

Scholastic Book Fair: Our Book Fair starts Tuesday (1/21) and will be open until Thursday, January 30th. Students can purchase items at the book fair before school, nutrition and after school. The fair will be open during our Open House/Showcase, so make sure to check it out.

Basketball: Santanas are you interested in playing basketball, please fill-out the packet, turn in packet by Tuesday and join us for tryouts on Thursday after school.
