I am excited to be here at St. Jerome School. I want to take this opportunity to
introduce myself, as well as tell you what you can expect from me and your child this year. My name is Mariela Gonzalez and this will be my second year teaching here at St. Jerome. I previously worked for the Los Angeles Unified School District teaching First Grade. I took a three year break to help my husband with our business and now that he is settled I took the opportunity that this school so graciously offered me to do what I am most passionate about: Teaching. I look forward to getting to know you and your children and hope we can work closely to provide the best possible support for your child! I believe this will be a successful and happy experience for your first grader.
