[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here, but my child went there for 6 years before heading to middle school last year, and the previous principal was BELOVED.  We didn't like everything about her, but disparaging her now [b]makes it sound like you are the new principal writing here.[/b] [/quote]

It's definitely her.[/quote]

NP, I have interacted with the new principal and heard her directly remark on the former principal's style and perceived shortcomings. It was very uncomfortable. FWIW, I fall into the group that loved our last principal. She was beloved and had her critics too. Back to OP, the new principal has a 'law and order' style that is either how she is or because it is her first year. And interacting with parents is not something she wants to do. Hope it gets better and that the new principal is not on this thread. [/quote]

OP here.  I agree with you.  At the same time, she has had a debilitating and chilling effect on the faculty and staff, with equally negative impact on those who are new as those who have been here under the prior principal.  The new principal also seems not to want parent participation, having cancelled all monthly coffee hours, greatly reduced opportunities to participate/volunteer, and made it extremely difficult for even students not too feel it is "chaotic" (words used by multiple students across grades who do not even know each other).  People are afraid to say anything for fear of retailation by her.  FWIW, the original post wasn't about getting to school on time -- my child is usually the first or second to arrive in the classroom -- it's about not even knowing the rules of your own school, like not knowing how to turn off the alarm is at the school when it accidentally goes off, sending emails with incorrect grammar, or not knowing you own teachers' names, let alone knowing students' names.  "Law and order" is selectively applied, and she does not abide by her own rules for prompt attendance, including at parent-teacher events.  The tone of her email was so condescending.  And when in she disparaged the prior principal multiple times in the first PTA meeting (which she did attend), it was extremely unprofessional, regardless of what you thought of the prior principal.

How do you have this inside information? Never heard this. Frankly don't hear much about the new principal at all.[/quote]
