[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who are these principals tho?[/quote]

One of them might be Cardinal, though I've never heard anything bad about that principal anywhere. Not even on DCUM.[/quote]

The other one is Nottingham. There were real complaints about them years ago, but I haven't heard anything recently. My children didn't go to either school.[/quote]

EG is a fantastic principal. She is low-key and very focused on her staff. Doesn't do a lot of mingling with parents but she puts in a lot of effort to get to know her students, which is what I care about the most. I have one kid with an IEP and two without. She is thoughtful and thorough in IEP meetings. We once had a disagreement about service hours and she really listened to my concerns and conceded to what I was asking for. One of my child's teachers had a family emergency this year and the communication surrounding that was very compassionate. I think its unfair to slander her rep when so many of us are quite happy![/quote]

DP, but I remember EG when she was assistant principal at McKinley.  She met with us in Kindergarten/first grade at our request bc our kid was having a rough time and we had her diagnosed by an outside psychologist.  EG said the diagnosis paperwork wasn't like anything they had seen before and wanted to use a wait and see approach instead, would not get kid looked at by school doctor, either.  Three therapists and countless private doctors later and we got an autism diagnosis, fighting with the school the whole way through for any accommodations and recognition of what was going on with our child.  They fought us at every. single. turn.  It didn't need to be that hard.  I see that EG is now an autism specialist at Nottingham, wut?  From your comment it sounds like maybe she has improved since our own experiences ten years ago.  But man, our experience was Not. Good.[/quote]
