Dear Covington Families, Electronic Report cards go out this week! The 2nd Trimester has come to a close and report cards will be delivered this Friday, March 13th in a new way. Instead of your child bringing home a paper report card, you will receive an email with the report card attached as a PDF. Blach Junior High has sent their report cards out as an email for the last year, so we are now extending this process to the elementary schools. The advantages to parents receiving the report card via email are many; from saving paper and copying costs to parents being able to store their child's reports electronically. If you wish to also have a paper copy, please contact the office and we will be happy to provide one. At the end of the school year, we will include a paper copy of the report card in each student's cumulative file- as we always have done. Since this is a new process, I ask for your patience (and feedback!) if there are any glitches. Thank you! Open House: Celebration of Learning- SAVE THE DATE! This year we will be opening our doors to students and parents earlier in the year for Open House, newly coined as a "Celebration of Learning." In the past, this event has taken place in May but this year please join us in celebrating the accomplishments of your child on April 2nd. The Covington teachers are still working on this new format for Open House so times are still to be determined. Watch out in the weeks to come for more details.
