[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We just started at a new school w/ an established principal. He:
- Is often outside to greet students/parents on the way in (and made a real effort to greet each person on the first day).
- Greeted parents/students at club sign up night.
- Did the first day of school spiel for parents.
- Did the back to school night spiel for parents (x2, since they split the grades in half so his remarks could focus on different things & parents w/ children in different grades could do the in-the-classroom bit for both kids).
- Did a last year's test scores spiel for parents (x2, so parents could attend pre- or post-work).
- Sent a back to school email over the summer and one or two other updates since school started.
- Responded personally to my email about a bureaucratic snafu (I had just asked him to pass it on to the right person since his was the only available address and I needed an answer before school started).

I would be really sketched out if I hadn't heard from him at all yet![/quote]

Yes, so for instance at our Back to School Night, new principal didn't greet anyone just left other staff to speak, although she was there. She has not sent out anything yet to parents by way of introduction (except one message embedded in the newsletter). I think perhaps she is letting the communications staff person, the AP, the ED, even the board do all communication and is staying behind the scenes, but it is odd and doesn't bode well to me.

At our school, we don't even have that. We do not have a school newsletter. No staff seems to think that they are responsible for sending out information so, you have to ask about every little thing and then maybe there will be a message sent out maybe not.[/quote]
