RE: Principal wants to see all communication

Our email communications are first sent to the principal for her review, then out to the teachers to email to their students' parents.

I was never asked to do that, but if you think about it the principal is held responsible for anything that goes home to parents. I wouldn't want her to be "in the dark" if a parent opened their email before the principal got a chance to read it. Likewise, the teachers get it first as well.

But I'm fortunate in that she usually looks at my communications pretty quickly and generally doesn't have a problem with them. Although she has pointed out an incorrect date or something I forgot to include that I appreciated the extra set of eyes.

We have the same issue at our school - I figured it was normal. I love the idea of FB and Twitter, thanks guys! We did just start an email group that the parents can sign up for - the principal said that we could post what we wanted there because it was voluntary for parents to sign up and it was strictly a PTO thing - I think the differentiation is that it doesn't come home from school. If you are worried about upsetting the principal, ask! I bet he'd appreciate it. Good luck!
