[quote=Anonymous]I'd like to point out that they have had someone operating as Principal for over a month. The website lists someone as Chief Academic Officer. What she is doing is very similar to Principal. So in essence, they do have a principal now. In addition, they have someone who is strictly in charge of Hebrew Instruction. I think that they need to clean up the job titles so that they sound more school like and easier for others to understand.

I have a child there and while things aren't perfect, the school isn't falling apart. In a lot of ways, they are better run than a DCPS school that my son attended last year. The staff and teachers are very responsive, and are quick to return e-mails and phone calls, unlike my son's previous school. I do like my son's teachers and he likes his classmates as well. They are learning Hebrew. He sings in Hebrew a lot and is always telling me how to say things in Hebrew.

There are drawback. The lack of a playground is something I wouldn't have though about a year ago, but it's absence is strongly felt. I am a little concerned about Dr. Lody leaving, since in a lot of ways, he was the heart of the school. My son is in Pre-K so it is easy to say that things are OK since in my opinion, Pre-K isn't all that important, but subsequent years are going to be important and telling.

The school hasn't said why the Pre-K teacher left. I heard that she wasn't a good fit, but the school isn't going to release anything. I haven't heard anything about the first grade teacher. [/quote]
