I should have also added that in our experience, I also really enjoyed JW's principal and the new RM principal has been fantastic too.

I am sure there will be people who disagree but I've enjoyed all the principals we've had in that cluster.[/quote]

I would agree with this. [/quote]

I mean this in a non snarky way. What do you like about the new RM principal?  I find her aloof, stand offish, unhelpful, and the exact opposite of the old principal.  She passes things off to her team and is not engaged with the community at all. I have a terrible impression of her. [/quote]

I think we underestimate how hard it is to run a major high school, especially one as high-performing and front-facing as RM. Even if you don't agree with her, it takes time to grow into that role, and every leader in a new situation wants to not only delegate but get to know the building -- raise capacity of the people around them, if you will. She brings more seriousness to the table than her predecessor, a "grown up in the room" vibe, instead of promoting literally every daily happening on social media. I also love her focus on including Spanish speakers and supporting non-major activities (aka anything that isn't IB, football, etc). So far, no complaints.[/quote]

That’s interesting.  I have zero impression of her because I haven’t seen her do anything. I’m wondering if I’m not engaged in the same way you are because I’m not seeing this at all. It’s not that I don’t agree with her, I don’t see her doing anything. [/quote]
What do you mean you haven't seen her do anything?

Small detail for me but I appreciate her weekly principal emails so much more than the old principal's. For my needs, she includes more important dates that I felt the old newsletters did not include. I remember last year, there were a few important dates that weren't advertised/many people did not know about but I didn't have that problem this year. I appreciate her business approach to those newsletters where I felt like the old principal had a different tone.

I do see her involved in activities. My child plays a fall sport and I do recall seeing her at a least one game. She tweets a lot about the arts happening at RM/other activities that may not get as much love. True, her tweets are constantly about IB.

I've only met her briefly once. She wasn't stand-offish in the least bit. I found her to be rather friendly.[/quote]
