Dr. Taylor's Message About the Irving Principalship
It is with a combination of some sadness and some excitement that I share with you a change in leadership at the Irving School. Ms. Freeborn, Irving Principal for almost four years, has decided to relocate to Long Island. She left a lasting impact on our school as such social-emotional skill-building strategies like Responsive Classroom took strong root in all of the classrooms. Ms. Freeborn also worked closely with teachers to expand the great work our faculty was already doing in the area of literacy instruction by assuming the readers and writers workshop models were integrated into our curricula.
Irving’s support staff and teachers are a special group; they have always rallied around early-childhood learning culture and have solidified the school as a warm, nurturing, “happy” place. Irving will continue to be this wonderful school, and I will help it continue to grow by recommending a proven educational leader who already knows our school community when I ask the board of education to appoint Ms. Megan McNally as the new principal on August 20, 2018. Ms. McNally has served as Irving’s interim principal since January and is the obvious choice to replace Ms. Freeborn. Pending board of education approval, Ms. McNally will transition from “interim” to “permanent” principal starting August 21, 2018.
