Message from the Principal

Mathews Elementary is a school where students, faculty, staff, and parents work together to create a place to learn and grow.  We encourage our parents to visit often.  You may come for lunch, visit in your child's classroom, or volunteer with the PTA for one of its many projects.  You are also encouraged to visit our website regularly for a glimpse of what is happening.  Learning is always happening here!
