Good Afternoon Santanas,
We hope you all had a great weekend. We are honored to continue serving you and your family during this time of uncertainties. While different, our students continue to access and learn our rigorous middle school standards while we strive to support each whole child in this digital world. A few important points of business:
1) Starting Monday, May 18th, our office will be open from 9a-1p Monday through Thursday to accommodate the closing of the 2019-2020 school year, the start-up and registering of the 2020-2021 school year, and support any needs our families may have.
2) Please keep an eye out for communication re: Material Check-In. Students will be checking in books, chromebooks and school material the week of June 8. Each student will have a designated time and day by alpha to ensure we follow social distancing guidelines. The schedule for that week will be communicated to families in the next week.
3) SAVE THE DATE - Saturday, June 13th will be our unique and innovative Promotion Ceremony. We are excited to roll out details once we have everything finalized in the next few weeks but please know we are putting this together with the pure intention of celebrating the accomplishments of our Santanas and personalizing this experience for them, in a safe and healthy manner.
Thank you for your time and please email or call with any questions.
Best,
Mrs. Pedroza
Opportunity to serve as a Parent Representative on the Santiago Middle School Charter Board!
Dear Incoming, Current and Alumni Santiago Parents,
Santiago Middle School is seeking two (2) new Parent Representatives to serve on the Charter Board.
All elected members are selected by their respective constituencies to serve a two-year term (but may not serve for two consecutive terms).
For more information, please view information on our Charter Board Flyer and contact Nanette Proctor, Business Manager at (714) 628-5645 or nproctor@orangeusd.org.
Hello Santanas,
I hope you are all doing well, staying safe, staying healthy, and staying home. Please know that our entire staff, faculty, and administration really miss our day-to-day personalized interactions with our students. Interacting with students is absolutely the best part of our day and the reason that most of us chose to be educators for our careers. Please know that YOU ARE MISSED!
This coming week, here is what we are doing to resume our remote learning now that Spring Break is over. We will be continuing with our Optional Virtual Office Hours AND adding in a Mandatory Advisory Session that students must log in to at designated time provided in the new schedule (See link below). Please have your students reference the Schedule for all the times and dates they need to present online this week. Questions and clarifications can be answered during the office hours or by emailing the teachers directly. Thank you for your continued flexibility as we engage in this remote learning environment.
Also, if you are in need of school counseling or school psychologist service, both Ms. Patel and Ms. Johnson will have daily office hours which you can access on the link below and speak to them via video chat.
Schedule is as follows on this link:
During the school closure, starting Monday, May 18th, our office will be open from 9:00 am-1:00 pm Monday through Thursday to accommodate the closing of the 2019-2020 school year, the start-up and registering of the 2020-2021 school year, and support any needs our families may have. Students can access the campus only if they need to pick up something (chromebook, PE clothes, etc.) or drop something off. We will be following strict physical distancing if you or your child have to come on campus and we will make time on campus as short as possible.
At some point in the next month or two, we will inform you of things like:
- End of year checkout requirements
- Options for making up events that celebrate students
- What options are available if your child missed critical content areas
Please know we are thinking about all of these things and will discuss as an administration and staff in the coming months under the presumption that things will be better by then.
Again, please take care of yourself and each other and know that we are thinking of you.
Respectfully,
The entire Santiago staff and Faculty
Hola Santanas,
Espero que estén bien, que se mantengan seguros, saludables y que se queden en casa. Les aseguro que todo nuestro personal, facultad y administración realmente extrañan nuestras diarias interacciones personalizadas con nuestros estudiantes. Interactuar con los estudiantes es absolutamente la mejor parte de nuestro día y la razón por la que la mayoría de nosotros elegimos ser educadores para nuestras carreras. ¡Los extrañamos!
Para la semana que viene, les queremos explicar lo que estamos haciendo para regresar a nuestro aprendizaje en distancia, ya que han terminado las vacaciones de primavera. Continuaremos con nuestras horas opcionales de oficina virtual Y agregaremos una sesión obligatoria virtual de la clase “Advisory” en cual los estudiantes deben iniciar sesión a la hora designada en el nuevo horario (Ver el horario a continuación). Haga que sus estudiantes hagan referencia al horario para todas las horas y fechas que necesitan presentar en las it’s virtuales esta semana. Las preguntas y aclaraciones se pueden responder durante el horario de oficina o enviando un correo electrónico a los maestros directamente. Gracias por su continua flexibilidad mientras nis adaptamos al ambiente de aprendizaje en distancia.
Además, si necesita apoyo de nuestra consejera o psicóloga escolar, tanto la Sra. Patel como la Sra. Johnson tendrán un horario de oficina diario al que puede encontrar en el siguiente link y hablar con ellas a través de un chat de video.
El horario es el siguiente link:
Durante el cierre de la escuela, Santiago tendrá algunos empleados en la escuela los martes por la mañana, solo de 9:00 a.m. a 11:00 a.m., para que los estudiantes puedan entrar solo si necesitan recoger algo (chromebook, ropa de educación física, etc.) o dejar algo. Seguiremos un distanciamiento físico estricto, si usted o su hijo tienen que venir a la escuela le pedimos que el tiempo en la escuela sea lo más breve posible. Los martes sera el único día de la semana que tendremos a alguien en la escuela.
En algún momento en el próximo mes o dos, le informaremos sobre cosas como:
Requisitos de cerrar el de fin de año, regresando aparatos y libros.
Opciones para eventos que celebran a los estudiantes.
¿Qué opciones están disponibles si su hijo perdió áreas de contenido crítico?
Tenga en cuenta que estamos pensando en todas estas cosas y platicaremos como administración y personal en los próximos meses bajo la presunción de que las cosas serán mejores para entonces.
Una vez más, cuidarse usted y entre familia y sepan que estamos pensando en usted.
Respetuosamente,
Todo el personal y la facultad de Santiago
