[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]most of this should rest on the shoulders of the former principal. she  made decisions without teacher input and then told them it was a done deal. as often happened, teachers were not told their assignments until the last day of school or later. some had no choice. we can't make a blanket statement such as "my child was in a class with  thirty children and it worked well."  we have to look at the classroom size, school curriculum and the experience of the teachers. the principal did this once before and it was a mess. one teacher said she would not do it again, after three years and was told if she didn't like it she could leave. which she did.
many good, experienced teachers left because of her style of "running the school."  so glad the new administration is more focused on the children. she has inherited a difficult situation and should be given an opportunity  and support in trying to work through the mess left by the last principal. do you all know that she was not in the building during the last few days of school? she left her office a mess for the new principal to clean. how professional. good riddance  to bad rubbish. PS- her comamndo  style is not working at her new school with middle school parents and students. karma !! :D [/quote]

It's nice to know I'm not the only parent that was not a fan of the old principal.  So far my impression of the new one has been good.  I like the on time and speedy Jamboree; I like how she let teachers into their classes early this year for set up; I like the increased security in the school.  It will be interesting how she handles setting up the classes next year and if she continues with all the PK classes.[/quote]

We are very impressed by the new Janney principal -- highly professional, fair, constructive, and responsive to parents.  [/quote]
