"Welcome Coyotes!"  Hello, my name is Mrs. Ribak and I am 'Plano Proud' and privileged to teach 4th grade this year at Schell Elementary.  17 years with Plano ISD has afforded me the opportunity to learn and grow as I strive to intentionally provide an excellent education and reach for a shared community goal of success and achievement for every student.  Along with the journey of helping my students optimize their full potential, I in turn enjoy learning new things, the beauty and simplicity of nature's wonders, and the genuine connections between friends and family.  I hope that we each can commit to the idea that hope, creativity, experiences, and dedication can positively lead to endless possibilities for growth, exploration, and fulfillment and the love of life-long learning.
