Covington Howler - 14 May
From Erin Green, Principal
Dear Covington Parents and Community Members,
Open House & Art Show May 16th
This Thursday night is our Annual Open House. This year we are so excited to have the Covington Art Show happening concurrently in the multi. The Art show is open for browsing from 6:00pm-8:00pm. Classrooms will be open from 6:30pm-7:30pm. Our staff and students are looking forward to sharing with you all the wonderful things they have been learning throughout the year.
Parent Input Forms
Just a friendly reminder that Parent Input Forms are due 5/22/13. When placing students we seek to develop the best possible dynamics in every classroom. It is important for families to understand we cannot grant individual requests for teachers. If you feel your child has specific needs that we may not be aware of, you may stop by the office and complete a parent input form. Please do not request specific teachers by name. I appreciate your support and look forward to sharing our staffing assignments for the next school year very soon.
I look forward to seeing all of you this coming Thursday evening!
Sincerely,
Erin S. Green
Principal

Visit the Library During Open House
I invite you to include the library among your many places to visit this Thursday evening during Open House. All students have attended library classes throughout the year and I am certain they will prove to be the best of tour guides. I look forward to seeing you then!
