[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I see pros and cons to this.

She has seemed to have a good rapport with her teachers and staff and managed them effectively. A few toxic personnel at the school disappeared during her tenure, and I think she may have aided in their departure, so I'm grateful for that. I think the kids have nothing but admiration and respect for her, so there's a lot to be said for that as well.

Any issues we had were ultimately addressed or resolved - not always in the most timely fashion, and not always quite the way we wanted. But I will give some slack - a DCPS principal has a LOT to manage. She has/had no vice principal, which lots of DCPS have.

Her communication skills and responsiveness have always been a bit lacking. Not awful, just lacking. I'd give a B-. Will we get an A+ candidate? Hard to say. I think if the PTA is able to exert influence over the new candidate ([b]and current PTA leadership is *amazing*, so I'm hopeful[/b]), we could get someone great. If the central office exerts their candidate over the parents' preferences, well, meh.

So, so true.  And the Gala planning seems to be going wonderfully.  Hoping there will be a good turnout this weekend (we won't be there, but are bidding online).[/quote]

Rising PK3 parent and we are happily bidding online as well! Great selections![/quote]
