Dear Eastover Families,

It is hard to believe we are entering our last week of school in 2025!  I wanted to take a moment to extend my appreciation for your partnership and trust.  Sharing your children with us and allowing us to be a part of their growth is such a blessing. My daily highlight is watching the smiling faces stream into the building each and every day. Eastover is truly a special place because of our amazing families and incredible staff. 

We look forward to this Friday for a couple of reasons.  We will be having our annual Winter Sing-A-Long in the morning.  The BHHS Jazz Band will be performing for our entire school to kick off the event.  This will be followed by Ms. Philp leading our student body in the singing of many winter-themed songs.  Additionally on Friday, our PTO has their final restaurant fundraiser at Panda Express in Troy.  See the information below in the PTO Corner.

During the winter months we typically see more sick children at school so here is a quick link to our BHS Health and Wellness website.  This site provides guidance as to when to keep your child home if they are not feeling well.  

Reminders:

  • The PTO is generously helping our staff with their annual gift wrapping.  They are in need of several volunteers for this coming Thursday.  Sign-up to help HERE.

  • I want to remind families and staff that we are a "nut restricted" building, along with all Bloomfield Hills elementaries.  To support this practice no edible treats for individual birthdays or celebrations should be sent to school.  Please communicate with your child's teacher in advance if you plan to send in non-edible items.

  • Eastover is looking to hire a noon supervisor.  This position supports our students in the middle of the day by helping to supervise lunch and recess.  It is a daily position from 10:45-1:45 each day.  You can see/apply for the posting by clicking HERE.  Please be sure to scroll to the bottom and select job #14212 as that is the Eastover position.
