PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE

Dear Cove Families,

 

We have just 2 event-packed weeks left of school! In last week’s assembly we celebrated students. Specifically, we celebrated their accomplishments and leadership at The Cove School this year. See the pictures above capturing the assembly.


This week we have Field Day on Friday, June 7th. This is an event for the children and not intended for adults to come observe. Coach Arroyo guides our teachers, our 5th graders and a few volunteers to help it all run smoothly. 

Please remember to send your child with a change of clothes in case they get wet! 

Next week, we have many class celebrations, some class plays and our 5th grade culmination ceremony…Lots of special events to build some precious memories.

  

Thank you for your support to help this all run smoothly for our Cove Coyotes!

 

Sincerely,

Michelle Walker, Principal
