So no real advice, just an observation - don't take it too personally or feel bad about the great work you have been doing for the PTO. This is about the principal, not you. How did your first meeting go and what was the PTO chair's response to this situation?
Hi there! Thank you so much for your response! The meeting actually went pretty well for the most part! I brought up how it was done last year and this new Principal seems pretty laid back. She said that she doesnt expect it to be perfect and told me to do it the same way I have been! So I am relieved! I appreciate your input!
