Santee Success Program

 

Welcome Back to School 2024-25!

Dear Families and Students,

Welcome to the Santee Success Program! We are thrilled to have you join our community, where we are dedicated to fostering both academic and social-emotional growth through a unique approach that connects the mind, body, and spirit. Our program is designed to support students in their journey toward becoming well-rounded individuals, fully prepared to succeed in a traditional middle school setting and beyond.

At the Santee Success Program, we believe that education is not just about academic achievement but also about nurturing the whole person. Our curriculum and activities are carefully crafted to help students develop resilience, self-awareness, and a sense of community. We are committed to working closely with each of you to ensure that your child receives the individualized support they need to thrive both in and out of the classroom.

Our ultimate goal is to guide our students toward a successful transition back to a traditional middle school environment. We are confident that through our collaborative efforts, students will emerge from the Santee Success Program not only academically prepared but also equipped with the social and emotional skills necessary to navigate the challenges of school and life. We look forward to embarking on this exciting journey with you and your child.

Nick Bahena will be our Instructional Assistant. Genesis Lopez-Cedillo will be the SSP School Counselor. Mr. Olander is our returning administrator. Join me in welcoming them all!

Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions or concerns!
