I would like to express my sincere gratitude for the incredible opportunity and support River Oaks has provided me. From my early days as an Educational Associate to my current role as a Special Education Teacher, River Oaks has been instrumental in my professional growth.

I'll never forget how you encouraged me to pursue my higher education goals. Your unwavering belief in me, coupled with the practical support you offered, made it possible for me to balance my studies and work responsibilities. I'm truly grateful for the patience and understanding you showed throughout my journey.

I'm honored to be a part of the River Oaks family. I look forward to continuing to contribute to the positive impact we make on our students' lives and I could not have done this without my River Oaks family.

As a teacher and a parent, I cannot speak highly enough about our school, River Oaks Elementary. From a teacher's perspective, the administrative team fosters a supportive and collaborative environment. They trust us and encourage us to bring out the best of ourselves as educators, and to bring out the best out of our students. As a parent, I see firsthand how the school's focus on not only academics, but also on social emotional development has positively affected my daughters. The teachers care for students and they create a nurturing atmosphere. My daughters and I are fortunate to be a part of such a wonderful school community.

Tammy Burleigh - River Oaks Elementary Parent & Teacher

I have been at River Oaks for 12 years. I absolutely love coming to work every day. This campus is the most warm and inviting school I've worked in. The staff are amazing and have become family. When we adopted our girls 3 years ago, I knew that they would attend River Oaks too. We commute quite a distance but this has definitely been home for us.
