“Every Kid, Every Day!”

Dear Families,

Welcome to the Eastview Education Center! My name is Joe Dockendorf, and I am both honored and proud to be the principal of the EEC.  I intend to serve the EEC children with enthusiasm and a smiling face. My priority is to provide our students with the best possible learning environment - an atmosphere in which they feel safe, have fun, and grow academically, socially, and emotionally.  

The Eastview Education Center thrives off of strong family involvement. We are always looking to involve more guardians in the educational process, and we have several great opportunities for those that are interested. If you want to be involved on a larger scale, we ask that you please consider volunteering in your child’s classroom and/or getting involved with the EEC PTO.  To be more involved in your child’s day-to-day education, we ask that you use the two goals listed below to help them be a successful learner:

• Make daily school attendance a priority.  It is important that your child is in school every day unless an absence is unavoidable due to sickness or some other emergency.  Please schedule family vacations when school is not in session. 

• Have your child ready to learn.  Ready to learn includes getting plenty of sleep (at least ten hours per night), eating three nutritionally balanced meals each day, opportunities for daily exercise, and reading with your child every day.  

 As parents/guardians, I encourage you to reach out to me about any topic. Working together, we will continue to make the EEC a safe, passion-filled learning environment in which everyone feels valued. I do ask if it is a classroom specific concern, that you please speak with the classroom teacher first.

It is a privilege to serve the students and families of the EEC!

Sincerely,

Principal Joe Dockendorf
