Principals are an integral part of the administrative staff of
elementary schools, along with principals, counselors, teachers,
librarians and other support staff.
Usually
assigned to supervise the day-to-day execution of tasks needed to keep
an elementary school running smoothly, assistant principals also develop
academic programs, hire and train faculty, and attend to executive
chores such as budgeting and recordkeeping.
Assistant
principals also maintain relationships with parents and students, and
may represent the school at community and civic events.
