Students in Mrs. Boss' third grade class enjoying our PBIS celebration. perfect weather, good books, great company!

Our "One School, One Book" is officially underway! For our first day, we are reading the Poem at the beginning of the book as well as Chapter 1, 2 and 3.

Every night we will have a staff member read the day's suggested reading. You can follow along with Mr. Wawczak today by clicking on the picture to the right as he reads the Poem, Chapter 1, 2 and 3.

Next Monday, October 4th, we will begin COVID-19 SHIELD testing at Covington only for those that have already completed the OPT-IN form and signed their student up in Skyward Family Access.

The SHIELD Illinois program is a quick, simple, and non-invasive COVID-19 screening test. Students that have opted-in to the program will provide a small amount of saliva that is tested at a professional lab. Results of the test are then provided to families and our school district within the days following. The program offers students the opportunity to reduce or waive quarantine requirements in the event of close contact with a positive case or if the student demonstrates symptoms. You can opt-in to the program at any time by accessing Online Forms in Skyward Family Access. More information about the SHIELD Illinois program can be found at: d123.org/shield-illinois-testing-program
