Cove’s Annual Tinker Day is on March 20! Grades 2-5 tinker freely around campus all day. Grades K and 1 have special tinker activities in their classrooms. Held in locations throughout Cove’s Campus, Tinker Day is a tribute to STEAM, with such long-time favorites as the Take-Apart Station, Cardboard Construction Zone, Sewing, and a variety of projects set up and run by parents as well as the larger Cove Community. This amazing day of STEAM allows our students to Tinker in a creative, constructive way. Here’s how you can help:
PBIS (Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports) Update
On Friday, March 1, several parents joined my principal’s coffee chat about PBIS. Here is the slide deck from that event and here is a recording of the meeting. As we continue to develop our PBIS structures at Cove, we will be tweaking and iterating along the way. Parents had great questions at the coffee chat, and in response, the Cove PBIS team and I will be creating some parent resources and putting them into a centralized location for your reference. We will let you know as it develops.

Last week at Cove: Thornton the therapy dog visited 5th grade, teachers learned phonics and morphology games to play with students during Word Work lessons, and Mr. Derby (Hall music teacher) and his band and choir students visited our 5th graders to show them what they can do in middle school. |

Cove Variety Show THIS Friday March 15th 6-8pm at Neil Cummins Gym! Come one, come all to the greatest show! Watch our talented Cove Coyotes show off their skills on the Neil Cummins Stage! Doors open at 5:30pm! Grab pizza ($3 cash or Venmo), popcorn ($2 cash or Venmo), Variety Show t-shirts and a seat (free!) before the show starts promptly at 6pm. Emma from Steve and Kate's will be providing limited juice boxes, so bring your water bottles to refill at our water station as no waters will be for sale. One thing new this year, you will need to sit with your children. No child will be allowed to sit in the front near the stage because last year it was far too distracting to our performers who have been working for months on their acts. So come early to snag a seat for the whole family. Can't wait to celebrate our remarkable performers!
Tinker Day: Tinker Day is Wednesday, March 20 and we need parent volunteers and station leaders. Please sign up here: Tinker Day 2024 (google.com)
