Principal's Message

Mrs. Dana M. Tucker

Dearest Village East Community,

At Village East we are the SOARing Eagles, and we proudly state, Every Eagle, Every Day! 

It’s inspiring to hear our children repeat that phrase because every eagle, or every child is important to us every day. This also goes for the incredibly dedicated educators in the building and with our partnerships in the community. 

I believe;

• Relationships matter! We must take care of ourselves and each other. 

• Believe you can, and you will! We must instill in our children the growth mindset that we can achieve our dreams (big and small).

• All children deserve a high quality education! 

Here’s what you can expect from me: I will communicate with you often, and I lead with honesty, integrity and professionalism. I will support you. I will listen to you. I will need to make decisions for our community and I will make them grounded in my values as well as our CCSD Core Values (growth mindset, equity, whole wellbeing and relationships). I will care deeply for our community. I will get to know you and your child(ren). I believe that if we use the collective genius of the group, whether that be student groups, teacher groups, staff, or parent groups we will actualize amazing solutions!

In support of our partnership, I ask you to hold onto our foundational mission that, “Village East is a united community that fosters togetherness, joy, equity and a culture for all.” I ask that we value all people, celebrate our differences and diversity to build meaningful relationships, show empathy and kindness with one another, and engage in collaboration in order to realize our vision!

Join me in sharing your Village East Pride, Go Eagles!

In service,

Mrs. Dana Tucker, Principal
