Principal Does Not Lead a Positive High-Expectations Culture

Principal Does Not Lead a Positive High-Expectations Culture

At Oakridge Primary School, Principal Thompson’s approach has led to a stark disconnect between the school and the community. There’s little effort to showcase school improvements or involve parents in classroom activities. This absence of engagement has caused a drop in parental involvement, leaving parents uninformed and disengaged from their child’s education. Without high expectations or problem-solving discussions, parents struggle to support their children effectively. The principal hasn’t created opportunities for community interaction or shared students’ progress, achievements, or challenges. As a result, the community feels alienated from the school’s vision, and parental commitment to enhancing student outcomes remains low. The lack of acknowledgment of parents’ efforts has further diminished their motivation to contribute, perpetuating a cycle of disengagement and missed opportunities for student success.
