She made such a difference in my son’s learning experience. He loved working with her the time she spent with him. He doesn’t open up to many people and he opened up to her. We all feel so lucky Eli had a chance to be in her class.
We LOVE Ms. Richling! She has been such as blessing to my sons life! His favorite thing she does in class is doing fun, silly voices while memorizing spelling words! He said it helps him to remember! In addition to being an excellent teacher, she is an even better encourager in life. She always has a kind word to say to life someone else up. I am blessed to have her a part of our families life!!
I have worked alongside Mrs. Richling on the same grade level ELA/SS team. She is always so helpful, kind, and truly puts in the extra time and care into her students.
I cannot say enough positive things. My son has always struggled with regulating emotions, this can be seen as defiance and some teachers haven’t taken to him. Ms Richling not only saw him as the bright and funny kid that he is but inspired him to continue being his best self, even on the hard days. He truly blossomed in her class, where he felt safe and loved.
Mrs. Richling is my daughter's teacher this year for English and Social Studies, and we love her. She goes above and beyond to keep her students engaged and help them thrive. She even offer free tutoring after school to prepare for upcoming stressful state testing. So greatful and blessed to have her teaching this year.

Ms. Richling’s clear expectations and consistent routines gave students confidence, while her warmth and encouragement helped them believe in themselves. My daughter loved coming to her class, and that love for learning has stayed with her long after the school year ended.
As a parent, I can say without hesitation that Ms. Richling is one of the most impactful teachers to have positively influenced my daughter. I was both honored and proud to have her as my daughter’s teacher.
