October is National Principals Month! We’ll be celebrating Principal McDole all month long. Mrs. Janet McDole has been a PCS pirate for 19+ years and she has worked at every building in the district. She is currently the principal of Navigator Upper Elementary. She is our district crisis response coordinator and was instrumental in developing our AI program in the district. Mrs. McDole is adaptable, flexible, and an advocate for all kids. She is also a huge UofM fan but more importantly, she loves chickens! Thank you Janet for being a fearless leader in our district. #ThankAPrincipal
