March 17, 2020

Dear Santiago Community,

I wish you well during this period of time. 

As of Monday, March 17, 2020, our Superintendent of Schools has directed all sites and District departments to officially close down beginning Wednesday, March 18, 2020, until further notice. Effective March 17, 2020, at 4:00 pm, Santiago will be closed and will re-open once directed by our Superintendent.  

Unfortunately, we did not have adequate time to distribute hard copy enrichment packets to everyone, and we are hoping that you are equipped at home with technology resources allowing you to download electronic copies. Teachers will be working from home during the regular week and will be readily available if you wish to communicate with them.  If you are lacking technology at home, please reach out to your teachers through your classroom application (i.e. Classroom Dojo, Remind, etc.). Please note that our District will still reserve Spring Recess, and all site personnel will be free from professional responsibilities between April 6-10, 2020.  

Please keep current with updates posted on our school and District websites.  Santiago teachers will also keep their classroom webpages current with specific instructions on how students can access curriculum and learning activities.   

Over the course of time, you may be messaged directly by your corresponding teacher with personalized updates that pertain to their instructional plan.  In the meantime, we encourage you to have your students continue with reading daily and utilize the many online resources we have made available to them.  Our website has a large number of learning program links that could be found under the student resources tab.

Thank you for everything you do for our Santiago Community and we cherish your partnership!  Please give our best to your children and we hope to see you all very soon.  The most important thing is unity, positivity, and health.
