On Tuesday, January 24th, we will be having School Yearbook pictures taken. This is the day in which our photographer will be coming in to take pictures of our school clubs as well as pictures around the school. As we have done in the past, we'll be making this a 'Purple and Gold Spirit Day'! So make sure to have your student's wear their Covington gear or any purple and/or gold on that day.

Covington Yearbooks are now available to order. Visit Covington Yearbook Orders to sign-up to order one of your own yearbooks. Additionally, the online link will also give you the ability to personalize your yearbook as well! Again, visit the link or click on the image for more information.

Due to our eLearning day on Friday, December 23rd, we have rescheduled our Covington Winter Carnival to Friday, January 20th.

The Winter Carnival is an annual event for Covington students during school hours. We will have multiple stations that the students will get to enjoy, including a craft station, bounce houses, and a presentation hosted by the Children's Museum. With parental permission, a pizza lunch will be provided by the Covington PTO. If a student opts out of the pizza lunch, they will need to bring lunch from home as there will be no hot lunch that day.

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
