[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dear Haycock Community,

This past Tuesday, April 3, at our monthly PTA meeting, I shared part of our academic vision for Haycock for the 2018-2019 school year.  The meeting covered topics such as the implementation of best practices and a discussion surrounding departmentalization.

Upon reflection of the feedback that I heard from everyone present, I believe there is a need to pause the process of changing departmentalization for next school year. We plan to get additional input and feedback from all stakeholders--staff, parents, and community members--over the course of the 2018-2019 school year.

Going forward, we pledge to continue to involve the entire staff in the decision-making process and we also pledge to increase communication to the families around future ideas for our wonderful school.

Please know and trust that we are committed to providing a warm, respectful, and supportive atmosphere for each member of our school family and we will continue to share and highlight the great practices in place here at Haycock.

Sincerely,

Mr. Jereme Donnelly[/quote]

Wow! I am not a Haycock parent, but live relatively nearby. My respect for this principal just increased exponentially! To resist the impulse to dig in one's heels in response to that meeting and step back to carefully examine and thoughtfully respond  to the feedback is the mark of a good leader. He is acknowledging that he made a misstep in failing to gain buy-in and is taking steps to prevent that disaster in the future. (Doesn't mean he won't try again, but next time he won't try to make sweeping changes flying solo! He has learned from this.)

And I just want to add that our principal would NEVER do this. She rarely learns from any feedback and the morale is terrible.[/quote]
