The principal at Birchwood is fabulous. As a parent it appears the staff respects him and he respects them. As a parent of two young boys who have both already gotten into a bit of trouble (nothing serious) I really appreciated how quickly the teachers have addressed the issues and been open with communication. The school counselor also does a good job.
