Dear Orvis Risner Families,
It is my pleasure to welcome you to a new school year!
Orvis Risner provides a terrific environment for your child to learn and grow. We are a Conscious Discipline school, which means we create a compassionate school culture that has proven to increase self-regulation, a sense of safety, connection, empathy, and intrinsic motivation in both children and adults. We work to build a strong school family. Students are celebrated for the talents they bring to the school and their classroom families. Teaching at Orvis Risner is a work of the heart. Our mission is to foster citizenship, leadership, and scholarship in a safe and positive environment. I look forward to working alongside a dedicated staff and community to bring this mission to life on a daily basis.
Please know that you are always welcome to contact me with any questions, comments, or concerns. Together, we can assist our students in becoming tomorrow’s leaders!
