Assistant Principal's Message

Dear Walnut Families,

It is with great excitement and gratitude that I join you as the Assistant Principal of Walnut Elementary! Our school is a place where curiosity is encouraged, kindness is celebrated, and every child is empowered to grow, learn, and thrive.

With over 20 years of teaching experience —along with five years as a Curriculum, Technology, and Intervention Coach, and now in my third year as Assistant Principal—I am honored to bring my passion for education and dedication to student success to this incredible community.

I believe that when educators, families, and students work together, we can create an environment where every child feels valued, supported, and inspired to reach their highest potential. Here at Walnut, we are committed to fostering a safe, positive, and engaging atmosphere where high levels of learning happen every day.

My door is always open, and I welcome your questions, ideas, and partnership as we embark on this exciting journey together. I look forward to celebrating successes, overcoming challenges, and building lasting memories with our Walnut Elementary family.

With enthusiasm and commitment,

Mrs. Michelle Zamarripa

Assistant Principal
