Principal's Message

Dear New Haven Elementary School Families,

It is with immense pride and excitement that I welcome you to the opening of our newest school in the Mountain View School District, New Haven Elementary School. This moment marks the beginning of a wonderful new chapter for our community, and I am honored to serve as your principal.

For the past 28 years, I have dedicated my career to supporting students, families, and staff throughout our district. Opening New Haven Elementary School is one of the greatest privileges of my journey, and I am thrilled to continue serving the families of the New Haven community in this new role.

Our vision for New Haven Elementary is simple yet powerful: to create a nurturing, inclusive, and inspiring learning environment where every child feels valued and empowered to reach their fullest potential. We have assembled a talented and caring team of educators who are deeply committed to providing exceptional learning experiences and fostering a strong sense of belonging for all students.

As we open our doors for the very first time, we do so with a spirit of collaboration and community. Together, we will build traditions, celebrate achievements, and create a school culture that reflects the strength, diversity, and pride of New Haven.

Thank you for entrusting us with your children. I look forward to partnering with you and watching our school grow, thrive, and shine.

With warmest regards,

Kristy Paterson
Principal
