Dear Michael Sereno,
I'm sorry I didn't stop by to meet you, our children's new principal, during Pilgrim Park Middle School's registration.I received your invitation via a Parent Link phone call and I want you to know I appreciated you making yourself available, even though I didn't stop by.
I glanced back at the library as my son Adam and I hurried down the corridor to see the list of students in his house. I saw you sitting there, but I didn't see any other parents talking with you. I'm not sure if other parents came by; I hope they did. But if they didn't, I hope you won't interpret it as a lack of interest. I suspect that like me, they were keeping up with a child with his or her own agenda or rushing through the registration stations in order to be on time pick up an older sibling from high school sports or some other of our multiple parental tasks.
Thanks also for your enthusiastic letter to parents. I'm glad to hear you are excited about your new position and pleased you are eager to meet us. Please keep on reaching out. Even when we don't show up, your efforts set the tone and create opportunities for more communication. I know I'm speaking for many others when I say it is very appreciated.
All the best,
Sandra
