Been MIA and wish me luck!

This school year has been INSANE! And, it's only November!!!

I have been totally MIA since the school year started and it's been just one thing after another.  My principal added an extra title and responsibilities to my reading coach duties.  He made me a lead teacher for our elementary building which is good because in addition to overseeing curriculum, I had a lot of extra responsiblities that are usually assistant principal duties.  I love the challenge and learning new things. 

However, there was a lot of drama, gossip, and just idle people who stirred up problems.  So, my principal was put on leave on Friday and we are getting a new principal tomorrow.  I felt really bad for him because at the end of the day he was just a really nice guy and most people were just taking advantage of that.  There were a lot of complaints, no more than any other school, but there is a culture at this school of escalating every little thing above him.

I have been informed of who is replacing the principal tomorrow.  I don't know her personally, but it is someone completely new to the school which might be a good thing since she is not aware of the drama.  I've heard she's tough and expects people to work hard so I don't think I'll have any issues with her.  However, I am concerned that the first thing she'll do tomorrow is make changes and I hope this doesn't affect my position, especially, since I was expecting a stipend next month for my extra responsibilites. 

I've done a lot of thinking and soul-searching this weekend and I am ready to face the challenges that come my way tomorrow.  It's going to be very difficult because I had a good rapport with my principal and now there's someone new tomorrow... in November... in the middle of the second quarter.  I wish they could've just waited until the end of the year to make the change.  I know my principal wasn't happy and was considering asking for a transfer, but he was at least going to finish up the year.  It really sucks to do this to someone right before the holidays, too.  A lot of my friends have told me to stay positive that something good may come out of this.  I really hope so. 

Thank goodness it's a short week!  And, thanks for reading my ranting.

    Aw, I'm really sorry about all that drama. I hope everything works out well with the new principle, and that the old one finds a good,stable job very soon! That really does suck that it happened right before the holidays :/.

    How are things going?  Hopefully you were just overstressing for nothing.  GL!

    I think I was overstressing.  But, i had a good rapport with my former principal. So, now I have to prove myself all over, again.  The new principal is a very positive person and is very professional.  she mentioned that most of the problems are in the upper school so hopefully she recognizes all my hard work with the elementary.  

    I have been considering a career change, though, because school administration does take away a lot of time from the family.  So, we'll see how the rest of the school year goes.

     

    Thanks for the support, ladies!
