Dear Eagleton Community,
I hope this letter finds you and your family well. My name is Heidi Saunders and I am honored to introduce myself as the new interim principal of Eagleton Elementary.
With 16 years of experience in education—as a teacher, instructional leader, and most recently as principal resident here at Eagleton for the past two years—I am passionate about creating a safe, supportive, and inspiring learning environment for every student. I believe that strong relationships between school and home are essential for student success, and I look forward to building those partnerships with you.
At Eagleton, we offer a strong academic programming while supporting all children with their social and emotional growth. We offer families small and personalized classrooms led by a committed staff who have been at Eagleton for many years.
At each grade level, there are two classrooms. In one classroom, instruction is in English. In the other classroom, instruction is in Spanish. Our school offers Spanish-speaking families a one-way dual language program, meaning that we support our ELA-S students by building their biliteracy in both Spanish and English.
If you are not currently living in the Eagleton neighborhood, we encourage you to apply to our school through the DPS SchoolChoice process and come take a tour of our school (Sign for a tour on our website). If you currently live in the Eagleton neighborhood, your child is automatically guaranteed a spot at our school.
I encourage you to browse our site and learn more about Eagleton. If, for some reason, you do not find the information you are looking for, please do not hesitate to reach out over email, phone or by stopping by. Let’s make this a great year together!
Sincerely,
Heidi Saunders
Interim Principal – Eagleton Elementary
