COVE ROAD ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year!

I would like to extend a very special welcome to our new students, staff members, and families who are joining our Mustang family. I would also like to welcome back our returning students and staff members. Our mantra here at Cove Road is "Be The Good" and we try to incorporate that into our daily activities.

A few reminders for you as we begin this school year. Please make sure you have signed up for Realtime Alerts through the Parent Portal, as all communications go out electronically. Please also make sure you have updated your contact information in the Portal, and completed the Emergency Card information. All important information can be found on the homepage of the Cove Road website and in the Cove Road e-Backpack.

If you have any issue or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to myself or any staff member here at Cove Road School.

Looking forward to an adventurous school year!

• Emergency Card - This information will help us to know who to call in the event of illness or emergency when a parent or guardian can't be reached, and who is permitted to pick up your child. This must be filled out by September 16, 2024.
• Parent Portal - District notifications are done through the Realtime Parent Portal. Please make sure all your contact information is correct.
