I am honored to be the principal of Daniel Webster Elementary School!  I have served PUSD as an educational leader for the past seventeen years and began my teaching career as a PUSD third grade teacher in 1997.  I am proud to be the parent of three Pasadena Unified School District alumni.  I look forward to continuing to foster strong relationships among staff, teachers, parents, and community members to benefit our students.  I am confident that together we will guide our students to be the innovators and critical thinkers of the future.

I am thankful for the support of our amazing PTA and Annual Fund committee who work tirelessly to bring engaging opportunities to our students.  Our families have multiple opportunities to become involved in our school community.  

Webster teachers and instructional staff continue to be committed to outstanding academics.  Our focus this year is literacy and the integration of learning through inquiry across all subjects, especially through our STEAM lab which guarantees student access to innovative challenges including materials and tools to think and create. 

The foundational year of the Webster Armenian Academy was so successful that we have been approved to accelerate the program for all students!  We will begin to offer this opt-in language and culture program for all TK through 5th grade students during the 2023-2024 school year.  

Please always feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.

Sincerely,

Kristin Forrest
Daniel Webster Principal
