PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE

Welcome back from spring break. I hope you had a chance to enjoy the beautiful weather!


The Cove School and Colegio Williams Intercambio was a success! In November, four teachers from Williams School in Cuernavaca, Mexico came to teach our 2nd and 4th graders at Cove. In turn, Cove teachers traveled to Cuernavaca to teach at Williams School for a week March 28-April 3. Our Cove teachers who participated in the exchange were Anastasia Robbins (math intervention teacher), Lindsay Hess (4th grade teacher) and Peter Eldredge (2nd grade teacher). 


The project they taught centered on identity and the theme of discovering who we are, from the perspective of the self, as well as our community. The parents, staff and children of Colegio Williams were very appreciative for the opportunity to deepen the connection between our school communities. Use this link to see some photos from their time at Williams School.


Teaching exchange programs allow for the exchange of ideas and they deepen our instruction as we learn from others.This rich opportunity was made possible due to Mr. Eldredge’s relationship with Colegio Williams as well as funding from our Cove PTO. I believe that all of our students and staff will benefit from this investment and connection. Thank you to our PTO and teachers for their work to make this program possible.


Sincerely,


Michelle Walker, Principal

Raising a Child with Anxiety: What Parents Need to Know

Anxiety is among the most common mental health concerns affecting children and teens. As a parent, it can be difficult to discern normal anxiety from an anxiety disorder.

Attendees will learn the common symptoms of clinical anxiety, tools on supporting children with anxiety and preventing normal levels of anxiety from escalating, ways to manage caregiver anxiety, and signs to know when to seek professional help. For more information on Dr. Jeremy Peterman and his practice, please visit his website here.
