The Office of School Operations supports the major district function of school leadership effectiveness by facilitating the district-wide Principal Transition Process. School Operations assists school leaders with the transition from current positions to new schools within the district or new opportunities outside the District. Any school leader impacted by the changes should have received an invite with their specific appointment time. For your convenience, the details of the principal transition process are provided below.

As we continue to provide excellent servant leadership to our community during the summer, we wanted to offer some guidance for summer hours of operation.   

Please see the following recommendations. School leaders should post-summer office coverage hours be visible at entrances.   

• Include the times when the office will be unavailable (e.g., lunch).
• Include a contact number and email address for visitors to be able to leave a message and receive a response.
• Forward the school’s main line to the posted contact number if the main office is not covered.

Additionally, it is recommended that Leaders send a robocall informing parents of this information.    

We hope these service tips help our schools continue to provide good customer service. We have also provided a template that you can use to post this information at the entrances.  

Please feel free to contact Director Dr. F. Kevin Malone at 901-219-2925.
