Charles E. Riley Elementary School

Welcome to the 23-24 School Year!

Dear Charles E. Riley Families,

It is my honor and a pleasure to welcome you to the 2023 – 2024 school year! I hope you all have had a relaxing and fun summer break!

I am extremely elated and proud to serve as the Principal of this amazing learning community! During my time in education, I have taught many years at the elementary level and administrated at all levels, K-12. My heart and my home belong, however, in elementary school, and I could not be more pleased to be part of the Riley family!

 As a school, we will be infusing our theme of “Educating, Empowering, and Inspiring All Our Students” into the fabric of each day.  We will continue to strive for academic excellence and social and emotional well-being for our students while looking through a lens of equity and inclusion. With that said, the Riley staff are excited to kick this year off in true Buc style!

I would like to welcome all of our new families, whether you are joining us from another school in the district or have relocated from another city, state, or country. We are excited to share with you all that Riley has to offer and believe you will soon feel as we do, that Riley School is a special place for all children. 

Our teachers and staff are eager to meet their new students and begin this year’s journey with them. The dedicated staff at Riley has been working tirelessly to ready their classrooms, engage in professional learning opportunities, and update our instructional models, class routines, and expectations, all with the goal of fostering academic success and a true sense of connectedness and belonging for our students. We will work together to create a solid foundation for our students so that they have the opportunity to become self-directed learners, collaborative teammates, critical thinkers, and responsible citizens. 

We will be holding our traditional Open House night on Thursday, September 21, from 6:00 -7:30 pm, where you will meet our teachers, support staff, and me. Please refer to the school’s website for additional information on upcoming events.

I look forward to the start of the new school year continuing to provide your children with an effective and engaging educational experience. As always, we will look to our families to be positive partners in their children’s educational journey. We will always put the best interests of our students at the center of our purpose. 

My door is open, my email and phones are readily available, and your input will always be valued. We are all looking forward to this year being one of the best yet!

Respectfully,

Mrs. Tracy Eygnor
