5Essentials Survey
Once again Oak Lawn-Hometown School District 123 will participate in the 11th annual statewide survey of school climate and learning conditions conducted by the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE). This survey provides a platform for students, teachers, and parents to express their opinions on ways to improve their community's schools. Please take a moment to ensure your voice is part of the process by participating in the survey. The 5Essentials survey helps school administrators in District 123 prioritize and plan for the upcoming school year. Our school will only receive the results of the survey if enough families, staff, and students participate.
Book Fair
Our Spring Book Fair is just around the corner! Our Book Fair will be taking place between Wednesday, March 22nd and Friday, March 24th. In order to run it, we do ask for parent volunteers. There are options to assist during the school day as well as Wednesday evening during our Family STEM Night. To look at all of the volunteer opportunities as well as to sign-up, please visit Book Fair Volunteer Form.
Pajama Day Fundraiser
Our Pajama Day Fundraiser for the Ronald McDonald House in Oak Lawn was a huge success!!
As the Covington Community, our fundraiser brought in approx. $500 to use toward purchasing items from the Ronald McDonald Wish Lists! The items included cleaning products, kitchen supplies, food items, and child card/board games. Today was the day we were able to deliver all the items!!
We would like to thank all the Covington faculty, staff, and families who participated in the fundraiser. The Ronald McDonald House wish lists get updated at least once a month, and are always in need of items. For those interested in directly donating to RMH, I have included links to their wish lists below:

Drop Off Lane
Note: You can begin dropping off students in the drop-off lane at 8:10 A.M. We have been getting really backed up at about 8:20 A.M. and cars until 8:35 A.M. To avoid this, please consider dropping off students earlier as between 8:10 A.M. - 8:20 A.M.the line is much shorter.
With cold temperatures and difficult weather will become more normal, we are going to experience a larger number of families that are utilizing our Drop Off Lane.
When using the Drop Off Lane, please note:
- When entering the drop-off lane, pull up as far as you can. When stopping your car, if you are anywhere along the purple curb, please have your student(s) exit the vehicle and walk on the sidewalk.
- Students should walk directly onto the sidewalk. From there, walk along the sidewalk to Door 2.
- Please be patient while using the Drop Off Lane.
Thank you
