My name is Rhonda Crowdis Hardisty, aka Mrs. Hardisty. I am certified to teach EC-12 Special Education, and 4-8 English Language Arts & Reading.

I have a Master of Arts in Teaching from Louisiana University, and 33 graduate hours in Family Studies and Human Development from Texas Woman’s University. I also have Graduate Academic Certification in Applied Behavior Analysis from the University of North Texas.

This is my 7th year to teach in Keller ISD and my first year at North Riverside. It is a great place and I cannot wait to meet your amazing kids!

My Para this year is Ruby Rodriguez, who has been the paraprofessional in this classroom for the past 5 years. She is excited to begin her 6^th school year with these wonderful students. She will be assisting me in getting to know the campus and the returning students and will be an invaluable asset to this classroom.

Our students will join their general education peers for at a minimum: lunch in the lunchroom, recess on the playground and co-curricular activities such as music, physical education, library and art.

Our classroom phone number is 817-744-5375. However, the classroom phone does not ring during the school day. If you need to contact us during the school day please call the school office at 817-744-5300 for their assistance.

My e-mail is Rhonda.Hardisty@kellerisd.net. I check it regularly and will respond to you as quickly as possible after school each day. There will be little time to check e-mail during the school day.

If you can provide me with an e-mail address that you check regularly, I will e-mail you a daily report of your student’s activities and behavior each afternoon.

We are looking forward to a great year of progress with your child!
