About Mrs. Rittle

Hello and welcome to 1st Grade at LES! 1st Grade is an incredible year of growth, learning, building community, and fun! 

Here's a little about me! I grew up in El Segundo down in Southern California. I received my teaching credential from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo and my Master’s of Teaching from San Diego State University. After college, I taught English to preschool students in South Korea for 2 years. I love to travel! When I moved back to California I taught 1st and 2nd grade in El Segundo for 4 years and Kindergarten in San Diego for 3 years.  We moved to Lafayette 5 years ago and I am so grateful to be a part of this community!  I started teaching Kindergarten at LES in 2021 and I moved to 1st grade last year. 

Outside of school I love to hike, camp, travel, read, and go to the beach. I love spending time with my family! My husband is Jon and our two daughters are Evelyn (5) and Poppy (3). 

It's going to be a wonderful year in 1st Grade!
