The Covington Howler - November 1
From Erin Green, Principal
Dear Covington Parents and Community Members,
We had a wonderful Halloween celebration yesterday. Everyone seemed to enjoy our traditional parade and the variety of costumes was amazing. Today is November 1st and we have a great deal happening over the course of the next few weeks, including parent-teacher conferences and then the busy holiday season. Check out our “Super Heroes of Covington!” Even our fabulous volunteers got into the spirit while serving hot lunch yesterday!
Street Safety on Covington Road
You may have noticed that there is a lot of residential construction happening on Covington Road. Please remember to use caution when driving on Covington Road. Also please remind your children that when walking, biking, or on scooters to be careful of cars and trucks pulling in and out of driveways. We want all of our children safe each day!
Homework Club-Starts Monday!
We are starting our Homework Club next week forstudents who would like a little extra help. Students will bring their homework to the club and have a quiet place to work, as well as, have access to teacher assistance. Homework club will meet in the library on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 2:45pm-3:45pm. Participation is by parent request or teacher recommendation; so if you think this is something your child would benefit from, please see our Front Office Staff or email sevard@lasdschools.org.
Students attending Homework Club will report to the Library promptly at 2:45 with homework (*snacks need to be consumed prior to entering the library). Teachers will be taking attendance and supervising / helping students from 2:45-3:40. Students will be escorted up to the 6th Grade Tables at 3:45 each day to be picked up promptly! Thank you ahead of time for your assistance with this!
