Jennelyn Diven
Primary Teacher/ESL Coordinator
Hafa Adai! My name is Mrs. Diven. I am very excited to welcome you to SY23–24. This academic year is going to be fantastic, full of exciting new experiences and discoveries. I've been teaching ESL at UPI Elementary School for seven years. I have also spent seven years teaching the second and third grades. I love going to the beach, hanging out with my family, and watching the sun set. I have two adorable children. Teaching is one of my passions. I am very excited to be your reading teacher and to be part of your life. I’m looking forward to having you as my student. It’s going to be a great year!
Ritchie Angay
Intermediate Teacher
My name is Ritchie M. Angay. This year marks my 20th year of teaching. This is my second year at UPI Elementary School teaching ESL. I have a background in teaching students from 2nd to 5th grade and special education. I love to work with children, and I am very patient and upbeat, so I will view the students who are a little behind as a personal challenge, not a disappointment. I am excited to make this year the best! Welcome to my ESL class!
