"My life was literally and figuratively saved by my public school teacher many years ago. We all love our jobs and students and are eager to start the year with passion and compassion. At the end of the summer, we count our pencils and take care of our families so that in just a few short weeks, we can take care of yours."
– Grat Dalton, BHEA President

"Our children have been exposed to more curriculum and co-curricular options than any school they’ve attended. At Eastover, we value our partnerships with Lawrence Tech and Harvard University. We especially applaud our principal and school staff for choosing school initiatives that enhance critical thinking skills as well as life skills. Our Visible Thinking initiative prepares students for their entire academic journey, ensuring that they can take a concept, associate it with other principles, and apply it in other situations. With our Sustainability initiative, students in all grades, have fun and use their research and hands-on experiences, which can be applied in college and in future careers. I truly believe this Sustainability initiative, unique to Eastover Elementary School, is also preparing students to become innovators who will be prepared for emerging industries in Michigan.
To prospective parents and community members, we want you to know that Eastover Elementary School welcomes every parent and resident to volunteer and participate in our programs. Our staff works as a team, and it truly feels like an extended family. Our school is extremely concerned about the safety of our children and work very hard to provide a well-rounded experience for our students. We hope you decide to visit soon or enroll your child at Eastover!
Bloomfield Hills Schools has worked diligently to partner with community members to ensure that we provide a comprehensive education. The level of commitment to this partnership effort is unique to most parents’ experiences in a public school district. Our Community Partnership Committee (CPC), PTOs, and local community organizations provide a wide variety of opportunities for student enrichment and we invite anyone interested in using their talents to serve our school community."

"I am the mother of a 3rd grader at Eastover Elementary and a preschooler at Bloomin’ Tots Fox Hills and in addition to the exceptional education that speaks for itself, I want to share with you what it means to me to have my children in the Bloomfield Hills School District and at these buildings.
It means that the very first day I had to drop my first born child off at school I found relief from the burden of my fears and anxiety. It meant I could breathe and wipe away my tears when the arms of a stranger made my child feel like they were ready to be without me. It has meant that I don’t have to worry about their safety or their care because they have exceptional safeguards and people who do it for me like my child is their own. It means that I know every minute my children are at school I am confident that those around them care to know them well enough to understand who they are and how they are doing. They pay attention to the times they need a helping hand or need their independence. They know exactly who they are by celebrating their talents and nurturing and guiding them into developing their skills. They have made my family feel like we are the most important people at school, until we learned they treat everyone that way, which is an extraordinary environment for my children to grow up in."
