The new principal was probably under pressure to do things differently, but that doesn't mean that she inherited a school that was at rock bottom.  Far from it, and to suggest otherwise undermines the work of the staff and students who have been members of the Cooke community for a long time. If you really dig into what's happening and ask questions instead of making up things on an random posts you will see the Cooke was full (until this year) of a dynamic committed group of teachers who are unfortunately leaving in large numbers. This is not sound for the students and I hope there is a plan.

Parents should inquire with the Principal how she plans to establish a culture where all of the students regardless of background are going to thrive and grow.  This can't happen with the removal of all of the cultural programming and community feel that despite if we liked it or not was established and maintained by the previous principal. This can't happen with 3% of parents coming to a board to paint a bright picture and others airing all of the schools growth spots.

I really felt like this was worth having repeated. DIG DEEPER. The teachers that raised student achievement this year under the new principal this year are the mostly the same from last year... Dedicated...involved in the community...love the students they teach..members of the Cooke family..teachers. That are leaving in mass numbers.  There are entire grade teams leaving in more than one grade. Maybe Cooke will be a Phoenix and rise from the ashes anew... Hope there's a plan. [/quote]
