Hello! My name is Ms. Leiva and I am the fourth grade homeroom teacher and the English Language Arts teacher for second through fourth grades. I was raised in Los Angeles and received a Catholic education for the majority of my life. I am very pleased to teach in this  inspirational learning environment. I am an alumni of Cal State University Dominguez Hills.  I received my Masters from LMU. This is my eighth year teaching and my eighth year at St. Michael’s School. Before teaching fourth grade, I was the 2nd Grade Aide. 

I feel extremely blessed to be part of such a wonderful school. I have high hopes for my students and I am excited to work with them in achieving their academic goals. With hard work and effective communication between students, parents, and teachers I believe we can reach positive learning outcomes. If you need to reach me, please email me via the Contact Staff & Faculty Page.
