Dear Richardson Families,
Thank you for your continued support of Richardson Elementary School. The school year is off to a fantastic start. I always enjoy seeing our returning students and getting to know the new students on campus. Our Orientation Night was a great success. If you did not get a chance to attend, I encourage you to contact your child’s teacher to find out about the information that he/she presented.
After School Pick Up: I realize that after school pick up can be challenging. Because the safety of our students is of the utmost importance, I ask that you please follow all posted traffic signs, stay out of ?no parking? areas, and drive SLOWLY. For older children, consider alternative pick up spots like at the northeast gate of the playground. Thank you for your effort to help maintain a safe after school environment for our students.
AIMS Test Results: I would like to share with you results of the AIMS test that we administered last spring. I have included state scores as a comparison. The State gives results in terms of the percentage of students who meet or exceed state standards.
