102 Review, ISSUE 28: Assistant Principals Appreciation Week

Assistant principals have it tough everywhere, but I doubt there are many that can do what Mr. Borelli and Ms. Mulé do day in and day out here at 102. Looking back at all the things we’ve done this year–meetings, trips, PDs, parent outreach, scheduling, dismissal, 102+, testing, suspensions, you name it–our APs have been an integral part of everything that happens at 102. At a spark of an idea or a recognizing of a need, Ms. Mulé and Mr. Borelli are tasked to plan and execute a multitude of items, and held accountable for nothing short of excellence. Both expert instructional leaders, they afford 102 teachers the kind of quality, meaningful feedback most teachers at other schools never see. As a send off to National AP appreciation week, I’d like to share my appreciation in a special edition of this week’s highlights.

Weekly Highlights:

Mr. Borelli, in addition to his astounding work in entertaining our secretaries, also serves as our go-to weapon to diffuse all things interpersonal. Whether it is to mediate a parent meeting or deescalate a student in crisis, I never worry whenever Mr. Borelli is involved. Thank you for never failing to being kind and caring.

Student activities have been incredible this year and we have Ms. Mulé to thank for all of them. I pride myself on not pushing for things staff is unready for, and after 7 months I still haven’t sniffed Ms.Mulé’s limit. Here’s the flowchart to my decision-making process in deciding whether to do something for our students:

Thank you Ms. Mulé for always finding a way!
