John Aki "I was noticed/notified to report the principle" You mean "I was … to report to the principal" (note the spelling—a mnemonic for that is "the principal is your pal") Notice" is a wrong word there. You can't notice somebody to do anything. "Notify" is also wrong, but you see it a lot in this context.
