From the Principal's Desk

August 12, 2010

Welcome to Riddle Elementary School. I consider myself very fortunate to be part of such a successful learning community. We have over 750 kindergarten through fifth graders who come to learn and grow every day. There are 100 dedicated caring, talented staff members who want nothing more than to help them do just that. Parents continually show their love and devotion for their children and commitment to quality education.

This is a very powerful combination. When we add a positive, orderly, child-centered learning climate with the best instructional materials, we have an effective and productive school.

My goal is for Riddle Elementary School to provide a solid academic, intellectual, social, and behavioral foundation for every child; and for every child to always know they are cared for and appreciated.

It takes commitment and consistency from all of us to accomplish such a lofty goal. We have what it takes to make it happen - every day. If you would like to contact Riddle School, please call (217)238-3800. Our address is 4201 Western Avenue, Mattoon, IL 61938

Sincerely,
