Eibbed, sorry if this is a stupid question but is it possible to meet with the principal in person to discuss the issues instead of sending a letter? I ask because the principal could take the letter in a good way or bad, depending on his/her personality, the mood he is in, etc. While your letter is polite, if the school has dumb policies that the principal feels he needs to defend, he will find a polite response to your letter that quotes the policies and shuts the options for you. Maybe a meeting to hear what he really thinks and discuss options, followed by a letter detailing the agreed plan might be a better approach. Again, sorry if you already considered this and dismissed it.
