Who We Are
Mayte Alvarado
Teacher
This is my first year teaching and I have been very excited to teach my first class of Kindergarteners! I graduated with a Bachelor’s in Elementary Education from Eastern Oregon University. I love to see students grow their skills and see them excited to come to school to learn new things each day as I learn something new from them in return. I hope to teach for many more years!

This is my 30th year teaching for Baker School District. My favorite grade level is Kindergarten. Regardless of where they start I always see growth. I look forward to working with a new group of kids every year.
