principal's CORNER
Dear Perkins School Community,
I am honored, humbled, and thrilled to serve as your new principal. Thank you for welcoming me so warmly into the Perkins School family. I enter with a sense of respect – respect for the school’s rich history, culture, diversity, and tradition of excellence. I look forward to learning and growing together and will be spending my first few months getting to know each of you, your students, their families, and our school community. I plan to accomplish this using an Entry Plan so that you know what to expect from me, are clear about what I am doing, and why. My desire is to be transparent throughout this process so that we can develop a cohesive plan to move our school forward into its next chapter together. I invite you to share your questions and comments with me in either of three ways: by email, phone, or in person during our upcoming family and community events.
There are many outstanding strengths within our school upon which to build. I recognize that many of you may feel excited or apprehensive about this transition, and I want to assure you that I am here to support you through it all. I am committed to upholding our school’s core values diligently and keeping them at the forefront of our conversations, with our students’ best interests at heart.
In order to help me get a better understanding of the inner workings of our school, its culture, and the surrounding community at large, I have created a survey as a way to hear as many voices of our community as possible. You may complete this survey either online or on paper, but please do not complete both. Versions of each survey can be found below: I hope you will join me in this collaborative effort as we unify our school community around shared goals, shared knowledge, and mutual respect. The outcome will be a clear plan for the future that reflects our new understanding of where we have been, where we are now, and where we are headed in this next chapter. I want to thank all of you in advance for your time and patience as we navigate these uncharted waters together. I am looking forward to listening, learning, and leading our school collaboratively with all of you into an exciting new chapter!
Yours in Collaboration,
Maisha Rounds, Proud Principal
