Teacher Bio

Dear Families

Hello and welcome to 6th grade at Trailside Point! My name is Daniel Eickhoff and I will be your child’s teacher for the 2019-2020 school year. This is my second year in the Laveen District and my sixth year teaching overall. I grew up in Grand Blanc, Michigan and attended Western Michigan University to earn my bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education and later attended Colorado State University to earn my master’s degree in business. 

My teaching philosophy revolves highly around communication. Communication between parents, students and teacher is one of the most important and effective tools to help your child be successful in the classroom. I invite you to call or e-mail if you have questions or concerns. In addition, a weekly newsletter will be sent through email highlighting the weekly events either from Ms. Daniels or myself. 

I have extremely high expectations for all my students, and I am asking for your help to help to maintain those high expectations by working with your child at home to ensure work is completed to the degree they are capable of, reading to or with your student on a regular basis, and working with math facts. I will provide students with the tools necessary to accomplish these tasks outside of school.
