Typically September
The school year is up and running. September is a time to get to know your campus students, families, and staff well. Principals lead their campuses in setting a Campus Improvement Plan with focused goals based on student baseline data and other information gathered. As a new principal, it is also a time to establish yourself with your campus. Be visible! Get into the cafeteria, be present in the halls, and get into classrooms.
