First Week Back
Photo: Reagan on the "Road to Success" AKA the elementary school hallway. The elementary school has implemented "driving rules" to move students throughout the school. Students are testing and earning their licenses this week!By almost all accounts, the first week back to school was a smashing success! Kids are once again learning and interacting with their peers and teachers are thrilled to be back to pursuing their passion. Students at all grade levels have adjusted to the perceived “weirdness” of the rules and adjustments to their daily school routines quite well. Teachers and staff are overly-assertive in tracking the whereabouts and contacts between students and others throughout the day as we remain committed to preparedness for an event we are taking every precaution to prevent. Thus far, there has been no indication of COVID within the school community but the school remains ready to address such an event in accordance with the best available actions and resources. For doing your part and helping to mitigate risk for our students and staff, Cove School District thanks you. Without your support, on-site school would not be possible. There is, however, one area where we continue to struggle and seems to overshadow everything we have done to provide a safer environment for our students.

Clearly, face coverings are the politicized hot-button issue way beyond our school boundaries despite being described on only one-page of an 87-page rule book for reopening issued by the state. On day one, this was not a major issue as there were a handful of students spread across the entire school who were objecting to face coverings. ...

Draft Reopening Plan
Cove School District is in the process of planning for the reopening of school on August 31. Cove School District's primary goal is to return to school in a manner that is consistent with guidelines set forth by the Oregon Department of Education and Oregon Health Authority. We are committing resources, energy and effort to keep students, staff and our community safe while providing a quality school experience. While reopening for on-site learning, Cove School is also offering an alternative full online curriculum through the new Cove Virtual Learning Academy for students unable to return in person. See details here: Cove Virtual Learning Academy We appreciate the input received from our committee of stakeholders in the the development of our plan. See the plan summary here: Reopening Plan Summary The full Reentry Operational Blueprint may be viewed here: Reentry Operational Blueprint We will inform everyone concerning activities and sports as guidance becomes available from the state and adjustments may be made to our plans as any other new guidance is released. Please remain patient but feel free to reach out to me at earl.pettit@covesd.org with any questions, concerns or suggestions.
