About The Teacher

Hello and welcome to Teravista! Home of the TIGERS! My name is Joyce Santiago 
and I will be your child's first grade teacher this year.  I would like to 
take the opportunity to let you know that I am so happy to have your child in 
my class. We will have a very busy, productive and enjoyable year.  
I was born in Surabaya, Indonesia, but I grew up in Austin.  I received my 
bachelor's degree and my master's degree from Southwest Texas State 
University in San Marcos (now officially called Texas State University).  I 
have taught 1st grade, 2nd and 3rd grade in Midland and in Austin.

My parents live in Austin and they also have a home here in Teravista. I 
have an older brother, Ferdinand, and he lives with his wife near Cincinatti,
Ohio.

My husband is a firefighter for the Austin Fire Department with the Special 
Operations unit.  They perform swift water rescues, high angle rope rescues, 
confined space rescues, structural collapse rescues and also deal with 
hazardous materials.  We have a very energetic 6 1/2 year old son named Alex 
who keeps us very, very busy! He will start 1st grade here at Teravista in 
August 2011.  We also have a newborn who was born on March 13th named Ayden 
and we have a very playful black and white tabby cat named 
Tuxedo.

When I'm not teaching I love spending time with my family and friends.  I 
enjoy reading, shopping, walking/exercising, watching movies, traveling, 
listening to music, sleeping and enjoying the cool weather!  I also enjoy 
trying different types of foods from different parts of the world.  My 
favorites are Thai, Korean, Vietnamese, Japanese and Italian food!
