Administrative questions.

My school got a new principal. Nice person and all, but I don't think that they notice how much people are struggling. How can I help bring this to their attention?

Maybe by letting them know some of your small struggles (casually) will put the idea that others are also struggling on their radar.

I'm sure your principal knows teachers are in need of support. Maybe their focus are on other things right now. By gently reminding them that their teachers need help may get shine a light on the issue.

Hope this helps!

Thank you. I'll see how that works.

Our principal welcomes anonymous notes in her mailbox. Then, she will address the questions at staff meetings. It gives us time to cool down about heated topics, and her time to come up with a response.

I am on a stress leave. Every time I look at emails from work, the less encouraged I am to return. It is so overwhelming! I want to finish out the year, but will definitely not be making it back next year. So many things have changed, and next year there will be all kinds of change and turmoil. I am sad to be leaving on such a low note. I always envisioned retiring at the top of my game, having a party...etc...

Tomorrow they are requiring masks again and I was almost in tears when I found out. We have been mask free (recommended) since June and I feel like we are being muzzled again. I am vaccinated, frustrated, and have been off of antidepressants since March. I don’t even want to go into work tomorrow. Anything is better than being virtual and I am trying to look at the bright side, but moving backward still burns. We have parent-teacher conferences coming up and I am hoping that it’s temporary.
