A BIG DAY AT COVINGTON!
Our Coyotes were all smiles as they explored their BRAND-NEW PLAYGROUND and made memories that will last! A HUGE thank-you to our SACS leadership, school board, and everyone who helped make this incredible addition to Covington Elementary possible! We are so grateful for this amazing space for our students to learn, grow, and PLAY!
We also captured an EPIC Covington moment! Students and staff gathered for a BIG group picture with our amazing custodian, Mr. Gray, up on the roof making it all happen! Even with a little sprinkle of rain, we made it happen!
To top it all off, our Coyotes proudly sported their NEW COVINGTON SHIRTS and showed off some serious Coyote PRIDE!
What a day to be a Coyote! ONE PACK. ONE PURPOSE.

CES SUPER SELFIE WEEK HAS BEEN EXTENDED! November 9th-13th
CES SUPER SELFIE WEEK HAS BEEN EXTENDED! November 9th-13th
We are excited to celebrate Super Selfie Week at Covington! This is a fun way to celebrate our classrooms, encourage great attendance, and remind our Coyotes that EVERY student matters and EVERY day counts!
How does it work?
One selfie each day: If every student in your child's classroom is at school that day, the class will take a group selfie!
Five chances to participate: Classes have the opportunity to earn one selfie each day, for a total of FIVE selfies throughout the week.
A little friendly competition: At the end of the week, classrooms with the most selfies will earn a special class prize!
Why are we doing this?
We want to celebrate showing up, being part of our classroom community, and making every school day count. Every student plays an important role in making their classroom special!
We can't wait to see our hallways fill with smiling faces and celebrate our Coyote Pack!
ONE PACK. ONE PURPOSE.

A QUICK NOTE FROM THE CES CLINIC
We are seeing an increase in students feeling sick at school, and we want to help keep our Coyote Pack healthy! As we head into another week, here are a few friendly reminders for families.
Please keep your child home if they are experiencing:
Fever of 100.4°F or higher
Vomiting or diarrhea
Significant coughing or respiratory symptoms
Feeling too unwell to participate in a full day of school
Students should be fever-free for at least 24 hours WITHOUT fever-reducing medication before returning to school. Students should also be free from vomiting and diarrhea for at least 24 hours and able to participate in normal school activities.
A FEW HEALTHY HABITS:
Wash hands frequently with soap and water.
Cover coughs and sneezes with an elbow.
Avoid sharing food, drinks, and personal items.
Get plenty of rest and stay hydrated.
A QUICK REMINDER: Please make sure your contact information is current so we can reach you if your child becomes ill during the school day.
Thank you for partnering with us to keep our students and staff healthy! We know illnesses can spread quickly this time of year, and a little extra care at home makes a BIG difference for our entire Coyote Pack.
One Pack. One Purpose.
We appreciate you helping us keep Covington healthy, happy, and ready to learn!

Elementary Handbook:
Attendance Policy
Regular attendance is necessary, as it is a prime factor in student success. When a student is absent, a parent should call the school attendance line prior to the beginning of the school day. Every school in SACS has a 24-hour automated attendance line for parent use.
If the school does not receive a notification call, school personnel will attempt to contact the custodial parent for verification of the student’s absence. If a custodial parent cannot be reached, attempts will be made to contact each person on the student’s emergency listing until someone has been reached. If no one on the emergency listing can be reached, school personnel will make a visit to the student’s home address. If no one is home, school personnel may make inquiries from a neighbor(s) regarding the student. If still no one can be reached and the student’s absence has not been verified, local law enforcement authorities may be notified. The goal of this procedure is to ensure student safety.
A note from the parent providing the reason for the absence should also be sent with the student upon returning to school.

To help keep all of our Coyotes safe and healthy, please keep the following in mind:
All snacks and birthday treats must be store-bought and individually wrapped (per student handbook).
Birthday treats may be dropped off in the office. The teacher will be notified, and the student can pick up the treats from the office.
Please be mindful of student allergies. Teachers should communicate known allergies with families when appropriate.
Birthday celebrations do not always have to include food! Fun items such as pencils, erasers, stickers, bookmarks, or other small school supplies are great alternatives.
To help maintain an inclusive and positive school environment, birthday or party invitations may not be distributed at school. Please share invitations outside of school hours.
