Santiago Charter Newsletter
Friday, September 16 , 2022
Welcome to another edition of the Santiago Weekly Newsletter...the place to find all the information you need to keep up to date with our school. Thank you for taking the time to stay informed.
A FEW VERY IMPORTANT REMINDERS FOR PARENTS:
- All students are required to wear their ID on a lanyard while on campus. Please set your student up for success by helping them decide the best place for them to keep their lanyard. Students who do not have their ID will get one warning and then lunch detentions will start.
- We are still working on tardies! Please help to get your student to campus on time and remind them that just being on campus isn't enough, they need to be in their class on time. There is always a warning bell giving them several minutes to get to their class.
If you need help finding our calendar, here it is, and here is our bell schedule!
