A Message from the Principal of Rugel Elementary
Greetings from Rugel Elementary, where we’re All In!
Rugel is a small, special school filled with big hearts and bright smiles. We’ve got a proud history and a whole bunch of amazing kids and families that make this place feel like home.
I’m so thankful to be here and to serve this wonderful community. With 16 years in education—8 of those as a school leader—I’m ready to roll up my sleeves and help our school grow even stronger.
Together, we’ll build on all the good that’s already happening and add even more fun, learning, and memories along the way.
I hope you will jump in too! Whether you’re a student, parent, grandparent, or neighbor—there’s a place for you here. Come be a part of the Rugel family and show your Rhino pride!
It’s going to be our best year yet—because you are here!
Warm regards,
Candice Griffin
