Redland Oaks Elementary School - North East ISD

One of our favorite and longest standing traditions at Redland Oaks is our annual Dance Festival. For more than 20 years, this special event has brought together our students, staff, families, and community. Our students worked so hard to learn their routine and shine this morning.

A huge shout-out goes to Coach Jung and Mrs. Pavel for the incredible work they put into making this day so special year after year. As they retire after 16 and 15 years of service to Redland. We thank them for the lasting impact they have made on our school community.

Today was a special full-circle moment at Redland Oaks as we welcomed back our graduating seniors from the Class of 2026! These students walked our halls as fifth graders during the 2018–2019 school year, and it was such a joy to celebrate how far they’ve come. We are so proud of all they have accomplished and can’t wait to see the incredible things ahead for each of them.

3rd Annual STAAR Carnival. 🎟️

Our 3rd–5th graders wrapped up testing season with a well-deserved STAAR Carnival celebration! We are so proud of the hard work, perseverance, and growth our students showed all year long, and it was exciting to celebrate their accomplishments together. A huge thank you to our amazing PTA for helping make this event so special for our students.

During a Special Board Meeting on Monday, May 18, the North East ISD Board of Trustees named Interim Superintendent Anthony Jarrett as the Lone Finalist for Superintendent.

“He has maintained a strong commitment to student success, academic excellence and community partnerships,” said Board President David Beyer. “We are confident that his leadership, experience, and vision will help guide our District forward, toward continued growth and opportunity for all staff students and families.”

Jarrett brings more than 25 years of experience in public education including six years with NEISD. He previously served as the District’s Chief Instructional Officer before being named Interim Superintendent in December of last year. Prior to joining North East ISD in 2019, Jarrett served as a teacher, principal and assistant superintendent in Northside ISD.

Following the announcement, Jarrett shared his gratitude to the board and enthusiasm for this next chapter.

“Sitting in this role is a humbling experience,” said Jarrett. “The mindset of service first and self second is something that I fundamentally believe in. I think working alongside you guys, I know our District will continue to grow, get better and be one of the best districts in the country.”

Per state mandate, NEISD trustees must wait at least 21 days before officially voting to appoint Jarrett as our District’s newest Superintendent.

Hard work and persistence paid off tonight for our 4th grade Battle of the Books team! We took first place in the MAC Cluster Battle. Great job Miss Barbatto’s 4th graders and to all the other students who competed tonight! Job well done! 👏 📚
