Riddle Wins an Award!

I am very pleased to announce that I found out on Friday that Riddle Elementary is going to receive the prestigious TBEC Award. The TBEC award is only given to the top 4% of public schools in the state of Texas each year. I am thrilled to see our school on top! To read more, check out:

Picking Teachers

A parent found this article and passed it on to me. I love hearing all sides of an argument and, as with most articles that I read that present two sides, it is easy to see both. Enjoy!

Library Open!

Thursday, August 13th from 9-12, our library is open for books to be checked out! We'd love to see you and your family. Most public library collections are picked over in the summer, but not at Riddle. Come on over and check out as many books as you want!


Also, August 13 is Kindergarten Popsicles on the Playground, hosted by our wonderful PTA from 9-10 AM. Come meet the teachers and enjoy meeting new friends while your child becomes a little more comfortable and acclimated on the playground. This is a great opportunity for all incoming Kinder students and their families. I hope you can join us!

Our teachers are hard at work in their classrooms preparing for your child's arrival at Riddle. Please don't forget about Meet the Teacher Night on Friday, 8/21 from 5:30-6:30 PM with Kinder Orientation from 6:30-7:30 PM. You can bring your school supplies and meet your teacher. Class lists will be posted outside the library windows and outside the cafe by 5:15 that evening. The doors open for you to visit the booths in the cafe and add money to your child's lunch account at 5:00 PM, and the doors leading to the classrooms will open at 5:30 PM. There is much excitement in the air that evening. We can't wait to see you!

As many of you know, our super Assistant Principal, Jina Eksaengsri (or, Mrs. X), will be having her baby any day now. We will miss her greatly during the first weeks of school!

We are busy preparing for your arrival. Remember to collect Box Tops and Campbell's Soup labels. We will see you very soon!!!
