Be Here. Be You. Belong!

Principal Message

Dear Meadow Point Families,

We had a great week back from Fall Break. Students were excited to share about their break, whether it was sleeping in, watching tv, playing games, and spending time with family/friends, they all shared so much joy and were excited to be back. This makes us so happy as we always strive to make Meadow Point a place where all of our students want to be at.

We look forward to seeing you all at conferences next week as another opportunity to continue buildinging relationships with you in an effort to best support our students. Our partnership with you is critical to the growth and development of our students, and we appreciate your time and dedication to attend conferences.

Social Emotional Resource: Every child has their own unique talents and abilities. Whether in academics, athletics, or interpersonal relationships, resist the urge to compare your child to friends or siblings. Instead, honor your child's accomplishments and provide support and encouragement for the inevitable challenges they face.(Edutopia resource)

In Partnership,

Gabriela Zuno, Principal
