Building Brighter Futures, One Word at a Time

Richardson ISD is excited to introduce a new initiative designed to support student learning at home and help families turn everyday conversations into opportunities for learning. Each month, our principals will share a new set of vocabulary words with families, giving you simple and meaningful ways to build vocabulary, strengthen academic success, and spark curiosity at home.

Our North Star Goal is for every student, teacher, and leader to meet or exceed their academic growth goals. We know reaching this goal is a partnership, and we are grateful for the important role our families play in helping our students grow and thrive.

Click your child’s grade-level list below and start exploring new words together! The mission starts today.
