Welcome to Santiago TK-8 Elementary School
Home of the Turtles
Mrs. Kimberly Ahvari, School Principal
Dear Santiago Families,
As we wrap up another incredible school year, I want to take a moment to express how proud I am of all we have accomplished together. Our students have grown in so many ways—academically, socially, and emotionally—and it's all thanks to the hard work, support, and dedication from our amazing staff, families, and community.
Our Turtle pride continues to shine bright, and I couldn’t be more grateful to be part of such a special school. As we head into summer, I hope each of you finds time to rest, recharge, and enjoy time with family and friends.
Please note: Our front office will be closed from Monday, June 16 through Tuesday, July 22, 2025. We will reopen and be ready to assist you starting Wednesday, July 23, 2025.
Wishing you all a safe and joyful summer!
Warmly,
Principal Kim AhvariSantiago TK-8 Elementary School, SAUSD
