K-3rd Grade Music Concert is tomorrow!
Parents are invited to attend tomorrow’s vocal music concert tomorrow in our Multi.  The concert is a chance for our students to showcase their talents and learning from nearly a year’s worth of instruction from our Starting Arts program.  Having listened to the student rehearsal the last two days, I can assure you that we are in for a treat.

Kinders and 1st graders perform at 9am.   2nd and 3rd graders will be on at 10:30am.

Thank you to PTA for funding our Starting Arts program at Covington.  We are very excited for our new dance lessons to begin, starting next week!

SBAC Testing
Please note that April 23-May 11 is our CAASPP (State mandated) Standardized Testing window.  Students in grades 3 through 6th will be assessed. Teachers will begin working on testing schedules and will communicate those to parents when ready.  I want to give all parents a “heads up” about the testing to avoid, as much as possible, absences. We appreciate your ensuring that non-emergency absences/appointments (during school hours) are not scheduled during this time. Students are required to make up these assessments if they are absent which disrupts the students’ schedule.

Auction
This Saturday 3/24 at the Elks Lodge in Palo Alto.  Doors open at 5:30pm and the fun begins. Come out and socialize, bid on great items, and help build a stronger Coyote community.  I’m really looking forward to this fun night.

Tremendous thanks to the PTA Auction committee for putting this event on!

Be well,

 -Wade Spenader, Covington Principal
