Deputy Principal

This week marked the beginning of the third term of the school year. It also marked the beginning of our new deputy principal starting at the school who is a white woman. I have found myself, through her first few days, experiencing de ja vu of my first days at site: being overwhelmed, wanting to be constantly busy but feeling at a loss for what to do, unsure of everyone’s expectations of me, feeling trepidation at the possibility of unknowingly stepping on other people’s toes, and trying desperately to find a rhythm to the day.
I have to give her credit, she is very nice and seems very dedicated to helping the school towards improvement. It will be interesting to watch her and the schools progression.
