Earlier this month, we invited families across our school community to share their thoughts about our building leaders through a brief online survey. The response proved remarkable, parents, guardians, and students took time from busy schedules to articulate what makes their principals exceptional. These authentic reflections, gathered throughout October in honor of National Principals Month, reveal the profound impact our administrative leaders have on daily school life. We’re grateful to everyone who participated and are pleased to share a few of these genuine expressions of appreciation.

Our family continues to be so impressed with the results of your work in creating such a wonderful learning environment for R….. Thank you!

Since the second day of school when my son was having trouble getting out of the car…..new school, new teachers, new friends…..Mrs East has shown her love, care and compassion for all the students…..she even knew his name…….on day two! I have seen her numerous times now, always smiling, speaking to the children she passes, so welcoming to the parents…….I know I made the right decision sending my kiddos to Plato Palm Harbor, I just wish I’d done it from the beginning ! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!!!! For making my kids feel welcome, cared about and happy!

As I watch my first grader walk from the school and enter the car line pick up area, I often see Ms. East out there with the kids. She is very engaged with the children. She always has an eye on each kid and a smile! – I don’t know how she does it, but she makes it seem easy. The events that are allowed to be planned and the inclusion of the families make this school a fun place with exceptional learning opportunities. Ms. East is a fine example of true leadership!

Mrs. Jacquline East is a blessing to our school. She treats students and parents with respect and empathy. She is approachable and always ready to answer questions with kindness. There have been plenty of times where we have met and she has always been understanding and explained things thoroughly with patience. Our kids love her and the ones that have already graduated from Plato have fond memories of her.
