Sherwood Middle School: A Short Story

The next school to present was Floyd C. Fretz Middle School by their principles Mrs. Slaven and Mrs Signor. Overall, Fretz scored an 84.5%. Looking over the information they received from the state, they concluded that the math program was doing well. Mrs. Slaved credited the students for their hard work. In addition to crediting the students, the principle said that the teachers have implemented a new program called HERE. HERE is a program where a teacher “adopts” a student and mentors them whether it is to improve academically or socially. The staff at Fretz feels the program works well with students who are at risk but does not do much for the advanced students. In class we discussed that middle school is a challenging time period for adolescence. I think the program they have implemented will help to greatly ease the challenges students face. In class we

It is with great honor to write this recommendation for Dr. Jennifer Fremstad in support of her application for the Assistant Superintendent position at West Fargo Public Schools. Dr. Fremstad is currently the head principal at West Fargo High School and I have the privilege to serve in the role of her direct supervisor.

State Street Principal In being promoted to State Street Elementary Head Building Principal in 2016, Mr. Jacob Sholtis, a white male, has already demonstrated his ability to successfully lead a large suburban school building. At the age of 35, he is the youngest head building principal in the school district by around ten years. Moreover, he is a graduate of the neighboring school district Hanover Area. For this reason, he is a native of the Wyoming Valley community with an extensive background of the area.

Prior to coming to Hoke County, Dr. Williamson had already served in a plethora of diverse roles in his educational career (e.g., teacher, assistant principal, vocational-educational director, principal, director of secondary and middle school education, director of personnel, associate superintendent, and a boys and girls basketball coach), therefore becoming a superintendent was inevitable; the school board knew he could advance the Hoke County’s School System, however the “key” was: he was a willing vessel.

With Mr. DeVaughn having recently retired, a situation has arisen to myself and to the other members of this board; we must begin the search for a new principal of Saltillo High School (SHS). This will, however, not be as simple a task as one might think, as we cannot simply select any random individual. We must choose the individual who is most fit for the job of running a school such as ours, and I was lucky enough to have the privilege of being the student who was selected to voice my opinion on this matter. I believe that I speak for the entire student body when I say that the new principal must possess specific qualities if he or she is to get the job and excel in his or her position. I believe that I speak once again for the rest of my fellow students when I say that we must select an individual who will best represent SHS as a whole: someone who has professionalism, who has moral values, and who has ambition.

It is with great enthusiasm that I recommend Jerry Standifer for the Assistant Superintendent position at West Fargo Public Schools. In my first week of employment at West Fargo Public Schools, Mr. Standifer scheduled a luncheon meeting to discuss his position as AVID Coordinator and the specific goals within the program to support our students in preparing them for post-secondary and their future careers. I was very impressed with the passion he demonstrated for students and their learning. My respect for Mr. Standifer’s leadership skills continued to soar over the past five years working closely with him on our Administrative Leadership Team and as the district coordinator for our AVID program.

The beginning of the Hollister High School 2014-2015 school year began like many of the previous school years, with new administrators being introduced to the instructional staff. The new principal made a covenant with the staff. He promised to be a leader who will stay in the building and finish whatever he started. The new instructional leader was promoted from assistant principal to the principal’s chair. In an effort to gain credibility with the staff in terms of following through with his promise to stick around until he is able to realize his vision, he built a house in the area. The building leaders in the past did not live in the district and their children were not enrolled in the Hollister R-V School District. Now that he was

It all started at Wachter Middle School in Mr. Puffe’s classroom. Paige, Emma, Carli, Tessa, and Macie were in Mr.Puffe’s classroom working on a project they had to finish. Emma and Tessa were doing all the science stuff while Paige, Carli, and Macie were just talking about what they should mix together to make a different creature. They thought of maybe doing like a zebra and a panda or an elephant and a giraffe or should we do a giraffe, elephant, zebra. They couldn’t figure out what to do so they ask Emma and Tessa what the should do.

As Trinity walked through the hall of South River Middle School, she realized some of the the trouble-some eighth graders were already causing a commotion. Middle school is a tough transition for everyone, especially at South River Middle school. Teenagers suffocated the halls, pushed those passing by, and shoved each other. There were bullies at any corner and someone was always lurking near to shout out an insult at their victim. All the kids there practically begged their parents to let them switch schools. Unfortunately, that was not an option. Just one of the many, Trinity Jones was a small ordinary girl in the seventh grade with long, jagged brown hair and watchful eyes. She was bashful, sweet, selfless, and obedient. She was an

During my senior my principal from freshman to junior year was fired and a new principal was brought on. I went to a private Jewish school and the way that they bring in money is from tuition and donors, and the school felt that in order to get more money they needed to bring in a new principal and fire the former one. The reason they felt that they had to fire Mrs. Grossman, the former principal, was because Mrs. Grossman was perceived as a mean old woman who was out to get everyone, everyone had a love-hate relationship with her, and because of this it would turn prospective freshman from coming to the school. In reality, Mrs. Grossman did seem mean at first but that is only in the beginning, in the beginning everyone is scared of her and hates whatever she has to say, but once you get to know her you realize that she really does have everyone best intention at heart and she only wants to do what’s best for you. In order to realize that about Mrs. Grossman you really have to give it time and get a chance to know her. Incoming freshman didn’t realize that in the beginning because they didn’t get to know her, so they would get turned off from the school. The school decided my senior year to bring in Mrs. Gross as principal, someone who is younger and comes off as

All-in-all I think Fred is a good person to manage the school for a day, because of the above

The following areas are targeted in this article: the need to become an effective In terms of becoming a mediator and consensus builder the authors detailed the need for principals to possess relational leadership skills in order to be able to both facilitate groups and coach others on staff in the ability to facilitate their own groups, and stressed that the key to this is the ability to effectively participate in conflict resolution (Donaldson, Marnik, Mackenzie, & Ackerman, 2009). The authors suggested that conflict is part and parcel of school reform and that in addition to being able to deal effectively with conflict the successful principal needs to develop the ability for bringing about consensus within the group, noting that interpersonal and intrapersonal skills were as much or more important than knowledge (Donaldson, Marnik, Mackenzie, & Ackerman, 2009).

The principal’s role in developing positive community relations sets the tone for communication patterns, partnership formation and/or alienation (Fiore, 2013). There are many tasks that the principal has that is important to school and community relations. Some of those are being a good listener, diplomatic and tactful and all situations. They also have to promote the open door policy to be free to communicate with students, parents, and their staff. They also have to inform the superintendent and community about good and bad things that are

Reflection of interview I’ve had quite the learning experience over the last few weeks. I had a chance to obtain valuable information and support from my principal. I learned so much about the administration role and how difficult it can be. When I began my interview, I felt overwhelmed and
