Welcome to Dr. McLaughlin's blog page! I am incredibly excited and honored to have been named the new principal of Henley Middle School! My wife and I both grew up in Albemarle and matriculated through Albemarle County Schools. We are excited to be moving back home and are quickly making arrangements to get our house in Richmond on the market and to find a place in Albemarle to raise our family.
Over the next few weeks I will be coming to the county as often as possible to begin planning for next year and to get to know the faculty, students and community members whom I will be serving. One of my first orders of business is to listen to all stake holders at Henley to find out what you love about the school and to gather ideas about where you think we can go from here. I hope that you will soon realize that my door is always open and that I'm usually just a phone call or an e-mail away if there is anything that you need.
I plan for this site to serve as a strong communication tool as I make the transition to Henley and after I arrive at the school. Please check back here often for updates and announcements about what is happening at Henley. Until I arrive in July, the best way for you to reach me with your questions, your concerns or just to say hello will be through my Henrico County e-mail account pjmclaug@henrico.k12.va.us.
It's certainly going to be a busy couple of months as we get ready for 2007-2008, and I know that great things are going to happen this year at Henley. Please feel free to get in touch!
