[quote=Anonymous]Principal here-
OP, I’m sorry that happened to you. On behalf of all currently overworked principals like myself, we’re doing our best manage really stressful situations that are often out of our control. This week alone, I had…

—one teacher call out sick at 7am. Was able to use our site-based sub to cover. Great. 
—then her teammate threw up less than an hour at school. Guess who covered her class most of the day? Me. And when I wasn’t in the class, I was in the cafeteria helping out as I do everyday. 
—a sub who accepted a job weeks ago decided to cancel overnight. Gotta love those. 😒 Now on Red Rover I can see that they’ve picked up a different job. You can imagine my frustration as I’m working with my office team to scramble to figured out coverage. 
—a teacher who has been going through infertility finally got pregnant and now has a lot of doctors appts to closely monitor. I couldn’t be happier for her. She’s been great about trying to schedule them towards the end of the day, but we still have to find coverage in-house to cover. 
—to still cover local screening and IEP meetings so that the classroom teachers can attend the meetings. Between me, our AP, IAs, reading specialist and ESOL teachers, we’ve patched together coverage.

We’re all trying our best. And we appreciate our subs that do show up and help make a difference. Sometimes we are dealing with an ESOL sub showing up and a classroom sub not showing up. Guess which class has to be my number one priority? No one is trying to make things more difficult. It’s just really hard right now.

Thank you to everyone who follows through on jobs they accept and doing their best with our students. [/quote]
