 How do you address administrators? 
How do you refer to your administrators?
  Mr/Mrs/Ms? By first name?
  In florida we called each other by first name. I have to send an email to my new prinicpal and I don't know how I should address him.

 Re: How do you address administrators? 
I have always addressed my principal and my reading coordinator by their first names.  But if it is someone high up (superintendent) I call them mrs/mr.

 Re: How do you address administrators? 
I agree with the others but I may address a new principal as Mr/Mrs/Ms if I haven't established a relationship with him/her.

  I do this, too.
 
  In front of the kids, I always address them formally though.

 Re: How do you address administrators? 
When I met with my new principal and AP earlier this summer, they told me to call them by their first names so I will (except in front of kids). Otherwise, I would use last names until told otherwise.

 Re: How do you address administrators? 
Started with Mr. and now I call them all by their first names. Sometimes it's a little weird. In the hallway, they are always Mr.

 Re: How do you address administrators? 
It depends on the person and how they introduce themselves.  It took me a year to call my principal by her first name.
