Message from the Principal

Welcome to the Russell Prater Elementary website. The faculty and staff are committed to providing all students with a quality education and share the belief that all children are capable of learning. At Russell Prater Elementary School, educational excellence comes first. Our school is an important gateway to a lifelong journey of learning for each student. Parents play an important role in the education of children. I hope this website serves to bridge the gap between the home and school so that parents stay informed of homework, current events, etc.
I look forward to a great school year with your child. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me.
Melanie Hibbitts
