Wait. What email are you all talking about?? I didn’t get an email. Only the weekly Navy ES newsletter.

There is an email going around forwarded by parents. I don't think it is appropriate to post here but maybe you know someone who received it and can send it to you.

I actually think a teacher has forwarded it.

Mine was parent forwarded. Not teacher.

Nah I’m good. I thought this was an official email from the school.

The email is completely ridiculous. It sounds like maybe it was written by one of the staff.

Or a parent that used to work there in some capacity that is holding a grudge.

There’s a part that is poorly worded and incorrect grammatically, so I buy that.

Most likely because the new principal would not be influenced by this parent.

+1 it speaks to staff morale so it has to be someone on the staff or who used to work closely with the staff.

Could be. Should we bring our pitchforks on the date specified?

The email says they want people to show up at a community meeting. So basically take over and make the meeting about Navy? Is this what people do when they want to raise an issue about something at their school? I’ve never been to one of those meetings.

This is what just happened at fort hunt. Parents and/or staff were unhappy and able to get to a point that Reid came to a community meeting in January to listen to concerns. Principal was removed a few weeks ago.

If there are issues with admin and they refuse to address them then I think it's a worthwhile effort.

You think going to a completely different school for one of their community hearings is the right place to air specific staff grievances with the Navy principal?! Grow up.

The email asks parents to register and go to a community meeting at another school. This doesn’t seem right at all.

Anyone from the FCPS community is invited to come and that school is the location where the meeting is behind held. It is a community wide event and not specifically for that one school.

Except the email specifically is encouraging Navy families to come and air grievances about the new Navy principal. Shame on whoever is involved.

There are 4 meetings and the email specifically says to do the April one. As if Navy is going to swarm the event.

All this because the new principal isn’t as easily swayed by PTA moms?

I'm not going to paste the email, but it made reference to a couple of recent incidents where there was apparently police involvement but the school community was not notified. I can't verify whether the information is true or not -- I had not heard anything about either incident. It is concerning if true. The other part of the email referred to staff feeling unsupported. That part came off more whiny to me and not something that a parent should be bringing up on behalf of teachers, in my opinion. It makes the teachers look bad. Clearly someone is complaining to parents. Even if you hate your principal that is unprofessional. At Navy the lines between parents and teachers are a little too blurry sometimes. Maybe parents shouldn't be allowed to frequently sub at their kids' own school. You want to make money as a sub, do it somewhere else. Don't do it so you can spy on your kid's school day and get the best teacher placements for your kid.
