The Issue

We, the undersigned parents, guardians, students, and community members of Stonehouse Elementary School, respectfully request that the decision to transfer our principal Mrs White be reconsidered.

 

Our principal has had a meaningful and positive impact on our school by supporting students, building strong relationships with families, and creating a safe and welcoming learning environment.

 

Consistency in leadership is essential for student success, staff stability, and continued progress. A sudden change in leadership can disrupt the growth and sense of community that has been built.


Our school community has been thriving under the leadership of our current principal, Mrs White. Her commitment to fostering a safe, inclusive, and academically challenging environment has been instrumental in elevating our school’s overall performance and morale. We are deeply concerned about the recent decision to reassign her to another school, and we urge the decision-makers to reconsider this.

Removing her from our school could jeopardize the progress we have achieved. We humbly request the school board to take into account the substantial positive impact she has made and to allow her to continue her invaluable work.

Please join us in supporting this cause by signing this petition. Together, we can make a strong case to retain Mrs White and ensure the continued success and well-being of our school and its students. Sign now to make a difference.
