Episode 40: From the Principal’s Desk: Setting Kids Up for a Great School Year
It’s that time again—back to school! Whether you’re sending a kindergartner or a senior, we’ve got you covered. We’re joined by three principals from elementary, middle, and high school who share what they wish every parent knew. Tune in for tips on how to motivate (but not micromanage) your kids, how to talk with teachers, and why getting involved matters. We also chat about the new no-phone policy in schools and how AI is already changing the game in education.
It’s not often you get three principals dishing out advice—think of it as your backstage pass to a better school year.
Meet our Fayette County principal guests:
Jill Angelucci- Principal Squires Elementary
Eric Thornsbury- Principal Winburn Middle
Scott Loscheider- Principal Dunbar High School
