Cove School District

Happy Valentines Day from kindergarten!

Week 24 of in-person school is all but over! Our week started with reopening the playground from 7:30-7:50 am for our students to be able to play before school starts. The kids were buzzing with excitement at getting one more thing back to normal. It's a good day to be a Leopard!

Please remember to use the student pick up and drop off area (located on Haefer Lane just past the Elementary School building) before and after school. For safety reasons, elementary students wait for parents/guardians or older siblings in the pick up area and are not to walk to the High School. Thank you for helping us keep our students safe.

Cove students had a blast learning to ski and snowboard up at Anthony Lakes!

January is all but over, and we have completed our 22nd week of in-person school. Time flies when you're having fun! Thanks to our community's efforts and support of our health and safety protocols, our students and staff members have been able to stay in school. Keep up the great work. It's a great day to be a leopard!

I am having a good time teaching the seventh graders science this semester. I wanted to take some time to share a few of the videos that were created to describe the cell cycle. Video is not very easy, but the students worked hard to create some stop motion that might help others learn as well. Check out the links below.

Parents: Please remember that the school doors do not open in the mornings until 7:30. Students who arrive before 7:30 have to stand out in the cold until then. The cafeteria doors open at 7:20, so that students have time to eat breakfast before school.

Kindergarteners colored their hand and arm to look the way they feel about themselves on the inside. Martin Luther King Jr said, “I look to a day when people will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.” Happy MLK Jr. Day on Monday! No school! See you Tuesday!

In lieu of a Winter Concert this year, the Prelude High School Band recorded “Deck the Halls” and made this video. We were toying with Stop Motion video as the hallways were being decorated. This turned into a fun way to gather video footage to go with song. Happy Holidays! https://youtu.be/5utvkEmyUUA

Seven brave seventh and eighth graders are competing in a virtual speech and debate tournament today! Coached by high school seniors Haiden Wiggins and Bill Pettit, the kids are the only participants from outside the metro Portland area with a total of 155 competitors. The tournament ends later today - we will update regarding results. Pictured are the parlimentary debate team of Angel Shields-Mars and Taylor Weishaar arguing their case on an impromptu topic of cameras on or off during comprehensive distance learning.
