[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This next year is going to be challenging for all schools, based on accommodations for COVID-19. Can anyone from the Peabody-Watkins community speak to how Principal Bell handled the end-of-year distance learning? Was she communicative with families? Supportive of teachers? Proactive in getting technology into the hands of needy families? The majority of our families experience economic hardship and/or language barriers so communication will be particularly key this next school year. Thank you for your input.[/quote]

I just did a count - from the time we left “in person” school we received the following electronic communication (she does not do robo calls) from her:

4 “weekly” newsletters
2 letters re: the tragic death of our PTA president 
1 farewell letter

Then she did 2 parent/principal zoom check ins in mid April (both mid-day so I couldn’t attend)

Basically teachers took over when we went to distant learning - we didn’t really hear from any of the admin team except for the above.

Thank you. Is Principal Bell opposed to weekly robo-calls? That is what we are used to at TEC from our (previous) principal.

(Reposting as I did not do the quote thing properly on the above post.)[/quote]

I don’t know if opposed is word but she obviously had the access to do robocalls and our previous administration used to do them regularly but she just never did.  Communication is really one of her biggest faults - she never could keep any one thing going over the course of a whole year - she’d do something for a few weeks then it would disappear for months or never come back. No consistency in the date, format or time - she really doesn’t value communication with the community. [/quote]
