Our Vision
Together as a team, Riddle Elementary School students, staff, and families work to ensure all students demonstrate growth in the knowledge, skills, and behaviors necessary to become contributing, engaged members of society, meeting the challenges of today and tomorrow.
Our Mission
Our mission is to educate our students in a safe, nurturing environment that encourages confidence, competence, and a desire for learning so we can collaboratively develop academic excellence, ethical behavior, problem-solving skills, growth mindset, and personal responsibility. Staff, students, families, and the community are guided by our values – respect, responsibility, and relationships, and the promotion of life-long learning.
