From the Principal
Welcome to Covington! Welcome to Covington! We are about half way through our first quarter and the school year is off to a great start!
As the new principal of Covington I want to express my gratitude to the staff and Covington families for making me feel welcome. Covington is definitely a special school where the staff, students, and families work together toward a common goal of building a sense of community where all are welcomed and appreciated while focusing on increasing student achievement.
During this school year you will be hearing about our new initiatives. Some of them are our new hands-on Science Curriculum. Teachers will be bringing more experiential learning to our students and are happy to work on a curriculum that was written by district 123 teachers. Our staff will also be learning a new student management system, SchoolLogic. A part of SchoolLogic that I know will interest all of you is the parent component. This portion of the system will allow parents the ability to view assignments as well as grades if your child is in 3rd grade or higher.
A continued initiative for Covington is Positive Behavioral Intervention Systems (PBIS). This system has been in place at Covington for the past 4 years however, this is the first year it has been a district imitative. For those of you new to Covington let me explain PBIS is a curriculum to address behavioral and social emotional issues that students face. Covington focuses on educating the whole child therefore; we look at all aspects of the child from the academic to the social/emotional side of a child to ensure success.
Lastly, it is my pleasure to be here at Covington and continue to look forward to a great school year.
If you would like to contact me regarding concerns, questions or compliments please email me at kzimmerman@d123.org or call at 708-423-1530.
Respectfully,
Kelly L. Zimmerman
