HOW TO QUESTION THE MMS PRINCIPAL FINALISTS

From the Maplewood Middle School Home and School Association:

Dear MMS Community,
Please join us for a Meet & Greet on Thursday, August 18^th from 6:30 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. in the Maplewood Middle School Library. This event will be an opportunity to interact with and hear from the two candidate finalists for the MMS Principal position.

The finalists will be announced and introduced to our community on Thursday evening, at which time each candidate will have 45 minutes to address our gathering and answer the same questions from parents and staff members. We invite you to propose questions for the candidates to us via email at our email addresses below. In addition, there will be an opportunity on Thursday evening to offer a question in writing at the top of the meeting. HSA representatives will pose a selection of the submitted questions to the candidates on the parents’ behalf. The candidates will not have the questions in advance.

After Thursday’s Meet & Greet parents and community members will be invited to provide feedback on the candidates via Let’s Talk, and the results of such feedback will be considered in the final hiring determination. The current timetable anticipates possible recommendation of a Principal at the August 22^nd Board of Education meeting.

We appreciate your participation and look forward to seeing you Thursday evening.

Thank you so much,
Kathleen Bailie & Alan Stephenson
MMS HSA Co-Presidents
