Our School

A Word from our Principal 

Gonzalez

I trust you had a wonderful summer break and are eagerly anticipating the upcoming school year. As we embark on this journey together, I'm thrilled to extend a warm welcome to our returning families and a heartfelt greeting to our newcomers. This marks my third year as the proud principal of Thelma Richardson School , and I'm excited to continue serving the wonderful community of Pleasant Grove.

Our Rockets are ready to shine even brighter, and I'm absolutely thrilled to introduce an exciting initiative for this year—the House system. This innovative approach will create an inclusive environment where every student can thrive and discover their place. Just like a rocket requires a solid foundation to launch into the sky, our House system will provide the support and sense of belonging necessary for students to excel in their academic, social, and emotional growth.

We're also delighted to welcome new staff members to our exceptional team. Their dedication and expertise will undoubtedly enhance our students' learning experiences, and I'm eager for you to meet them soon.

Recognizing the significance of the first day of school for both parents and students, I want to address a change due to safety concerns. To ensure the safety and well-being of all students, I want to inform you that parents will not be able to accompany their children to class on the first day. Please rest assured that our staff is well-prepared to guide and support each student's smooth transition into their classrooms. I thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

As we gear up for another incredible academic year, remember that your involvement and support are integral to cultivating a thriving educational environment. Together, we'll empower our Rockets to aim for the stars and unlock their full potential.

Ms. Moreno

We are excited to officially share that Marlyn Moreno-Yaquian has been named Thelma Richardson Elementary School’s Teacher of the Year! Marlyn is an exceptional educator who exemplifies hard work, humility, kindness, and unwavering dedication to her students. Her passion and commitment inspire all of us, as she constantly seeks ways to improve and grow.

Ms. Moreno has been a valued member of Thelma Richardson for 9 years. A proud Texas Tech graduate (2016), she transitioned from the medical and church fields into education, driven by her love for working with students. Her family—including her supportive parents from El Salvador, her husband, and three daughters—plays an essential role in her life. 

Ms. Moreno views each day as a new opportunity to learn and grow, and she credits her colleagues and school leaders for their continued support. We are proud to recognize her outstanding contributions and celebrate her dedication to our school community.

Congratulations, Ms. Moreno, on this well-deserved honor!
