Well, update:
I just had a conversation with the principal and I made it clear 
how I felt: She was taken by surprise, but that's only because I 
have been nothing but patient and kind for the last almost year, 
and look where it landed me! ☹ She did admit that she hadn't 
made it a priority and promised that she would make it higher on 
her priorities.  Whether that holds true in the future remains to 
be seen; however, I am still going in next Tuesday as planned.  I 
am meeting with an eighth-grade student who is supposedly very 
eager to meet me, and I invited the parent(s) to come in and 
observe.My plan is to meet with the student for 45 minutes, the 
first several minutes will be spent getting to know each other, 
getting an idea of her singing goals, and we're just going to 
jump right in!  I thought about contacting her ahead of time as 
my very first voice teacher did with me, but I figure the best 
way we're going to make it work is if I just go in there and do 
the thing.  A phone conversation is just that and it does not 
allow the students to see me in action and vice versa.
Thanks so much for your encouragement and prayers!
Annie
