Note From The Principal

Hello Friends and Families,

At Miwok Valley, we believe in the power of language, literacy, and relationships to open doors and deepen understanding. Our school is a place where every student is seen, known, and deeply cared for. We celebrate each child’s unique strengths, culture, and voice, and we work together to create learning experiences that reflect, honor, and celebrate our diversity.

We are a deeply connected community, and that sense of belonging is at the heart of everything we do. I am incredibly proud of our wonderful and skilled staff, whose care, expertise, and shared dedication to students and families make Miwok Valley such a special place. Together, we create classrooms where curiosity thrives and learning is meaningful.

As principal, my priorities are simple and steadfast: safety, learning, and joy. When students feel secure and inspired, they are ready to grow, take risks, and discover their potential. I am truly grateful every day for the amazing students, caring families, and extraordinary educators who make Miwok Valley a joyful and empowering place to learn and grow.

With love and dedication,

Kelly Matteri,

Principal, Miwok Valley Elementary
