Back to School Night

It was so great to see you at Back to School Night. We look forward to a successful school year!

Principal's Message

I am honored to introduce myself as the new principal of Morningside Elementary. I come to Morningside with over 20 years of experience in the Garden Grove Unified School District, having served as most recently the principal of Hill Elementary, assistant principal at Eisenhower Elementary, Teacher on Special Assignment, and a 6th grade teacher. Throughout my career, I have been dedicated to supporting students and promoting an environment where students can succeed!

 

Morningside has a dedicated group of teachers that create a positive learning environment for all students. A key to a successful student learning experience is the parent-teacher relationship. Please keep informed of school updates, and teacher and school messages on Parent Square or following our Instagram @morningside.pta 

 

At Morningside Elementary we will continue to build a strong school and family partnership. This partnership will result in positive outcomes for all of our students. We are fortunate to have an amazing and dedicated PTA at Morningside!! We hope that your family becomes a member of our PTA and we welcome volunteers in all capacities. 

 

I’m excited to begin this new school year and I look forward to meeting all of our families and students! Please know our school is always here to support you and please reach out if you need anything. Please stop and say hello!
