Principal Message

Dear Meadow Point Families,

Happy 2025! It is so great to have our students back in the building. As you know one of my goals this year has been to learn all things about the wonderful Meadow Point community. It has been exactly what I imagined and more! I'm looking forward to the new learnings that will come this semester to better prepare for your next school year. I invite you to share with me your own learnings and experiences so that together we can continue to make Meadow Point the best school for all of our students.

Educator of the year nomination - Parent nomination

Every year we have the opportunity to nominate one of our amazing educators. We would love for you to complete this brief 3 question survey by Tuesday 1/14. This form was also sent in Thursday's folders (bright orange sheet).

Students can STOP when they're starting to feel overwhelmed or out of control

Consider all the OPTions and decide which response will put them in the green zone

And GO with that choice that will work best for them at that time

Parents and caregivers are supremely burned out. When people are burned out, they are less engaged. They are also more likely to:

• make mistakes,

• miscommunicate,

• have trouble concentrating, and

• forget information.

To help this, we can ensure we are taking care of ourselves. As they say in the airplanes: put your own mask on first.

This week’s self-care task is to do something creative. Try something new, start a fun project, or resume a favorite hobby. Choose activities that have nothing to do with your work or whatever is causing you stress.

• Bryan Ragsdale is our Volunteer of the year and will be celebrated by the superintendent next week.
• Stephanie Northern was recognized last month as our All-Star Paraprofessional, and will be celebrated by the superintendent next month.
• CCSD offers English class in the evenings at different schools. Please reach out to Emily Prascher for information.
• The Family Literacy program offers English classes to our families. A new class will begin in January.

Snacks

Just a reminder, please send your student(s) with a snack each day. If you are unable to provide snacks, please reach out to Emily Prascher at 720-886-8655 or eprascher3@cherrycreekschools.org. We also accept bulk snack donations if you are able - goldish, breakfast bars, cheerios, meat sticks are all popular items.

Powerschool contacts

We encourage you to update your Powerschool account to include 2-3 emergency contacts if at all possible. We want to make sure we are always able to reach you or someone else for your student. Thank you for your partnership.
