It's time for our weekly Staff Spotlight, where we take time to introduce one of our amazing staff members to you, our community. We hope you enjoy getting to know us a little better.
Today we introduce Mrs. Eve Reinhold Ullerich! She is our wonderful K-5 Special Education Teacher as well as our JH Girls Track Coach. This will be her 13th year here at CO-U. During Eve’s time here her role has shifted some, from working with K-4, K-6, and now K-5. But she states her role always includes helping great kids and their families have success at school.
When asked what she loves most about working here, she enthusiastically said The KIDS!!! and The STAFF!!! And that she also really loves our 100+ year old building. She said she doesn’t know anyone else who teaches on blackboards.
Advice she would give to a new staff member is, “Love the kids and everything else will fall into place.” Instead of food in the cafeteria, Eve loves when people bring food into the office to share! Sharing is caring! After school hours she enjoys time spent at home with her husband, cats, dog, chickens, ducks and guinea pigs. When she has spare time she loves taking care of all their animals, reading, running and traveling the world.
Reminder that there is teacher inservice tomorrow. We will resume school with students on Tuesday.

It's time for our weekly Staff Spotlight, where we take time to introduce one of our amazing staff members to you, our community. We hope you enjoy getting to know us a little better. Today we introduce Dan Steele, also known as Coach Steele to some. He is our Physical Education teacher as well as a member of our Building Leadership Team, which focuses on improving teaching and learning throughout the school. In his spare time, Dan coaches our JH Volleyball team and has also coached JH Boys Track.
This is Dan’s 6th year at Charter Oak- Ute. When asked what he loves most about working here, he stated that he really enjoys all the students he gets to work with and the staff. Advice that he would give to new staff members just starting their careers here is “Patience is the key.” When grabbing a bite to eat in the cafeteria, Dan said his favorite school meal is a Cheeseburger and fries.
After the school day is done and all the games have ended for the season, Dan likes to relax at home with his wife Kelsey and 3 sons; Maddox, Breck and Kyler. In addition to being with his family, he really enjoys being outside in nature and playing sports.
