Parents and Students,
My name is Khia Bautista and I am extremely excited to be working with the 1st grade class this school year.I was born and raised in Los Angeles, California, receiving a Catholic school education from 3rd-12th grade. I am so grateful to now have the opportunity to teach in a Catholic school environment.
I graduated from CSU: Northridge in May 2013 with my Bachelor's of Arts in Liberal Studies as well as my Multiple-Subject Credential. In 2016, I graduated from the PLACE Corps program at Loyola Marymount University with my Master's of Arts in Reading Instruction. In 2018, I completed the requirements for obtaining my Reading Certificate and Reading Specialist Credential also from Loyola Marymount University.
I began working at I.H.M. in August 2013 as the Kindergarten Aide before jump-starting the TK class in January of 2014. I taught 2nd grade from 2015-2018 and have been teaching 1st grade since then. I am so excited to be with the IHM community for another year.
I am looking forward to getting to know you and your children throughout the year! If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at kbautista@ihmla.org.
God Bless,Ms. Bautista
