Dear Covington Families,

A few days into our construction project and I have to say we (YOU!!) are doing a fantastic job in our fenced in parking lot. Much of this has to do with families who have avoided dropping off and picking up in the parking lot altogether.

If you are using the drop off/pick up lane in our parking lot, it’s critical that you move up along the curb as far as possible. This keeps the flow of traffic moving and helps curtail the back up on Covington Rd. If you find yourself waiting for your child an extended period while parked on the curb, you may want to use the “airport” technique- which is to pull out and circle around until your child arrives at the curb.

Please make sure you share this information with your caregiver or family members who pick up your child.

Halloween Guidelines: Tuesday is our annual Halloween Parade- which begins at 2:00pm. Students will be allowed to change into costumes after lunch. We ask that overly gory, grotesque or bloody costumes not be worn. Also, no fake weapons are allowed at school (ninjas, leave those nunchucks at home). Masks are permitted as long as it doesn’t inhibit the student to breathe. This is always a great event and I hope you can join us.

Reminder: As is the policy, parents/caregivers should not wait for students before dismissal in front of classrooms. We ask parents/caregivers to wait for their students near the flagpole or along the walkway facing the blacktop. Kinder families are the exception to this.

Have a great weekend,

Wade Spenader, Principal
