Principal Lyndsey Gammaro

Northrich Community,

My name is Lyndsey Gammaro, and I have proudly served as the Principal at Northrich Elementary since 2020.

I have been in Richardson ISD for 17 years. I began my journey as a classroom teacher at Aikin Elementary and Audelia Creek Elementary. In addition to the classroom, I was an Assistant Principal for 7 years working with the communities at Carolyn G. Bukhair Elementary for 5 years and Hamilton Park Pacesetter Magnet for 2 years.

As a leader, I firmly believe in the power of positive relationships. Relationships are important to building connections, allowing effective collaboration, and ensuring communication for all those involved at Northrich Elementary. I appreciate every opportunity to make connections with our Northrich community.

I am honored to continue to work alongside you to create an environment where every child feels successful both academically and socially.
Looking forward to an amazing 2022-2023 school year!

Sincerely,
Lyndsey Gammaro

Dear Northrich Staff, Families and Community,

It is with great excitement and honor that I introduce myself as the new principal of Northrich Elementary. I am humbled by this opportunity.  I look forward to continuing to build on our culture of celebrating and maximizing student growth and cultivating strong relationships. I am beyond excited to lead the NRE family of students, staff and parents.

My entire career has been proudly serving the staff, families, and communities in Richardson ISD for 19 years. I am also a proud RISD graduate, and  attended Richardson schools from kindergarten through high school. I began my journey as an educator as a classroom teacher at Richland and Thurgood Marshall elementary schools. I have also served as a Math Specialist at Aikin Elementary and an Instructional Coach at Big Springs Elementary. In addition to the classroom, I have served as the assistant principal at Northrich Elementary for the past four years.

When not at school, I enjoy spending time with my family. My husband Kenneth and I have two energetic and loving children. Our family includes Rhett, our seven-year-old, Reagan, our three-year-old and our playful dog, Dutch. As a parent, I always want what is best for my children and will work to ensure your children have the best possible experiences at Northrich Elementary.

I look forward to transitioning into my new role and making plans for an outstanding 2023-2024 school year. My door is always open to you, and I sincerely welcome your input and support. I am excited about all we will accomplish and look forward to celebrating our collective success this school year.

Sincerely,

Emily Lawrence

Dear Northrich Community,

I am honored to serve as the assistant principal of Northrich Elementary. I am proud to be part of this amazing campus and community, and I value the relationships I’ve built with parents, students, and teachers alike.

I began my career in Richardson ISD as a teacher at Forest Lane Academy and Arapaho Classical Magnet, later serving as an instructional coach at Yale Elementary before moving to assistant principal at Northrich in 2023. These diverse experiences have prepared me to support our students and staff in reaching their fullest potential.

Originally from Michigan, I have called Texas home for over a decade. My wife, Jenni, and I live in the Northrich neighborhood with our two children, Gabrielle and Grant. We love being part of the community we serve!

I am deeply committed to fostering a safe, respectful, and supportive learning environment for every child. I’m excited for all that’s ahead and look forward to working together to make Northrich Elementary a place where every student can shine and succeed.
