Description
ABOUT US
The Primary School is creating a new school model that brings together all of the adults in a child's life, including parents, educators, and medical and mental health providers, starting from a very early age. We recognize the entrenched racism that exists within our public systems and the unjust impact this has had on families of color. Our aim is that children and families most impacted by systemic poverty and racism receive the multidisciplinary support they deserve to be well, learn, and thrive. In the long term, we hope to create a game-changing model that can be replicated nationwide. As we continue to learn and grow, we plan to share what we've learned and pursue policy and systems change on a local, state, and national level. We are supported by a growing coalition of philanthropic partners, building on the generous support of the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative.
Our approach has three defining characteristics:
ABOUT OUR EAST PALO ALTO SITE
In 2016, we opened our flagship school in East Palo Alto, California, with our first class of four-year-olds. We have grown to serve over 400 children and their families through our Early Family Foundations program, parent wellness program, full-day preschool, and elementary/middle school, which will grow through eighth grade. We are still growing and are thrilled to introduce 7th grade for the school year.
ABOUT THE ROLE
We seek an experienced leader to serve as principal of our K-8 school in East Palo Alto. The principal will lead the implementation of our vision for teaching and learning and be responsible for fostering a positive school culture. Reporting to the site-based Executive Director, the principal will play a pivotal role in shaping the development of our program and will supervise a team of four Deans (K-2, 3-5, 6-8, and Student Services) who provide management and coaching to teachers and other support staff.

TPS will cover 93% of the total premium cost for individual team members in our HMO and PPO plans, and 95% for individual team members in our HDHP plan.
