Where School Becomes Family

Welcome to 5th grade!  My name is Alexis Rodriguez and I am so excited to be your child's teacher for the 2021-2022 school year!

Here is just a little information about me, I am a Bristol girl born and raised. I received my Bachelors degree in Early Education and Special Education from West Chester University and my Masters degree in Education with a certification in ESL from Holy Family University. This is my third year teaching 5th grade here at Saint Mark School and I could not be happier.

I'm so thrilled to be your child's teacher. This school year will be filled with so much learning, adventure and lots of fun!
