Principal's Message

Dear Newhope Families,

 Welcome to the 2025-2026 school year! I am honored to continue serving the Newhope community as your principal.  Reflecting on last year, I am so proud of all we accomplished together; from academic growth to vibrant family events and classroom celebrations, your support helped make Newhope a joyful and engaging place for our Tigers.  I am especially excited to continue building on that momentum in the year ahead.   

Our Newhope community is truly one of a kind and the partnership with our families is very crucial in providing your child the best educational experience. We value, appreciate, and seek out your involvement and collaboration for the success of your child. We will continue to provide opportunities for parents to participate in ELAC, SSC, Coffee with the Principal, PTO, Back to School Night, Open House, and many more events this year for parent involvement.  

 As our partner in your child’s education, I am asking all parents to please help ensure your child(ren) is on-time daily. Our goal is to have all children present in school every day and on time. If your child needs to be out of school for any reason please make sure to call the office at (714) 663-6581. I look forward to working with you in a meaningful partnership towards your child's success.

 A friendly reminder to please be sure to download the APP ParentSquare, as this is the primary way to receive the most updated district and school information for your child. Also, please be sure to complete data confirmation and update your emergency contacts through the Aeries Parent Portal. Our school office is always here to help you in case you need assistance.  

Everyone on staff is here to make your child’s experience a positive and rewarding one at Newhope.

I look forward to an outstanding school year. Thank you for entrusting us with your child(ren).

 With great appreciation,

Eva Matthews, Newhope Principal
