Hello Richard Avenue Families,

It is my absolute privilege to welcome our incredible students, dedicated staff, and vibrant community back to campus. Our custodial team has spent the summer preparing our building, while our teachers have dived into new curricula and refined our programs to ensure an extraordinary year ahead.

As your principal, I value building and maintaining positive, trusting relationships with our staff, students and families. I believe in creating a safe, inclusive environment where every child can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally and where open, two-way communication helps us grow stronger together.

Education is a true partnership, and I look forward to working closely with you to support your child's growth, curiosity, and success. Thank you for entrusting us with your children—let’s collaborate to make this school year our absolute best one yet!

Kind regards,

Mrs. Madeline Zellner
