Hello! I am so excited to be part of Sacred Heart School's teaching staff and appreciate all the warm welcomes!

A little about me - I graduated from Sacred Heart School in 1986 (whoah!!). I have four children, who attend local public schools, and we just returned to the US after having lived in Colombia and the Dominican Republic for four years, where I taught English as a Second Language and Science. I am bilingual in Spanish and English.

This year, we will continue to focus on the cultural aspect of Spanish speaking countries as well as focusing on the foundation of the language, which includes the grammar, pronunciation, and language rules. My hope is to integrate fun learning with building a strong foundation in the Spanish language.

I will update this page monthly. Students can expect monthly assessments and parents can expect consistent feedback and open communication.

Saludos,
Jodi Delgado
