Principal’s Welcome Letter

woman sitting on a chair in an officeHello and welcome! My name is Kristen Schukow and I am the very proud principal of Knapp Forest Elementary. The Knapp Forest school community is truly a special place to be and I would be glad to connect with you regarding any questions you may have! For the last 15 years, I’ve spent my time as a classroom teacher and instructional coach. Prior to my arrival in 2020 to Forest Hills, I served for five years as an elementary principal in Lakeshore Public Schools. I am a firm believer that our work together will be most impactful when we focus first on relationships and relational trust. With that being said, I am really looking forward to meeting you and your families!
