Principal Welcome

Dear Haen Hawk Heroes and Families,

I am thrilled to welcome you to Victory Haen Elementary School, a proud member of the Kaukauna Area School District. I am Principal Kevin Vander Zanden, and it is both an honor and a privilege to serve as the leader of this remarkable school, dedicated to nurturing the whole child and fostering a strong partnership with our families.

At Victor Haen Elementary, we are committed to providing a supportive and inclusive learning environment for students in grades 1 through 4. We believe in a "whole child" approach to education, recognizing that every child is unique and multifaceted. Our curriculum and teaching strategies are designed to not only educate but also to foster connectedness, critical thinking, and emotional well-being. Our dedicated staff is here to guide and inspire your children every step of the way.

We recognize the invaluable role that parents and guardians play in a child's educational journey. We believe that a strong partnership between the school and families is essential for the success of our students. Together, we can create an environment where our Haen Hawk Heroes can thrive academically, emotionally, and socially.

I want to extend a warm welcome to all new families joining our school community and express my gratitude to those who have been a part of our Haen Hawk family for some time. We are proud to have you with us, and together, we will continue to inspire and support the growth of our young learners.

Throughout the school year, you can expect to receive updates and information about school events, educational initiatives, and opportunities to get involved. I encourage you to reach out if you have any questions, concerns, or ideas to share.

Thank you for choosing Victor Haen Elementary School. Together, we will make a positive impact on the lives of our students, and we look forward to a successful and rewarding school year.

Proud to be a Haen Hawk Hero!

Sincerely,

Kevin Vander Zanden

Principal, Victor Haen Elementary School
