The teachers and staff at Rieke are outstanding and are the at heart of makes this school a special place for our kids. We are also very impressed by the job principal Jeans has done since he came to Rieke a few years ago. He is super engaged with the students and the community and has a gift for connecting with kids and making them feel welcome, safe, and excited to be at school. Close Quote
