Richardson Elementary

Despite a shortened week due to the cold weather closure and Presidents’ Day, we had a fantastic few days filled with learning, creativity, and family engagement!

Last week, we welcomed 4th, 3rd and 2nd grade families in for our family engagement events. Thank you all for joining us at school for these events! In 3rd grade, students shared their knowledge from their solar system unit and created their own planets alongside their families. Meanwhile, 2nd graders and their families had a blast creating their own insects.

We also celebrated literacy with Dress as Your Favorite Storybook Character Day on Friday and everyone enjoyed the “Reading Train,” where students lined the hallways to read independently or with a partner. It was a wonderful sight to see our school community come together in the spirit of reading!

Looking ahead, we have conferences this week on Tuesday and Thursday evening, as well as Friday morning. Be sure to double check the timeslot you signed up for, and let us know if you need to make any adjustments. We look forward to connecting with families and discussing student progress!

If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to the main office, Miss Susi, or me at any time. You can contact me at mhoude@isd622.org or 651-748-6910.

Together,
Mrs. Houde (pronounced "hood")
Principal

At Richardson Elementary, we recognize the importance of reading, being read to, and celebrating literacy all year long.

Upcoming Reading-Related Activities:

2/27 – Team Up and Read (Wear sports team gear & read with a buddy).

One way you can support literacy at home this month is by participating in our I LOVE TO READ - AT HOME READING BINGO! (Copies were sent home with students last week - return by 2.27)

The Community Dental Care will be at Richardson on Wednesday, April 9th and Thursday, April 10th. Please watch for consent forms in your child's backpack.
