Principal's Message
Dear Covington Middle School Students and Parents and Guardians,
As the summer draws to a close, we stand on the cusp of a new school year filled with excitement. I am thrilled to welcome each of you back to Covington Middle School this Tuesday. Whether you are returning for another year or joining us for the first time, you are an essential part of our vibrant school community.
Our dedicated staff have been preparing for this upcoming year with great enthusiasm and commitment. We have planned engaging and innovative lessons, enriching activities, and supportive programs designed to foster both academic excellence and personal growth for every student.
We believe in the potential of each student and the power of a supportive school environment. This year, we will continue to strengthen our partnership with you, our parents and guardians, because your involvement is key to your child's success. We encourage you to stay connected and engaged through our various communication channels and school events.
Please carefully read the information below to stay informed about important details for the upcoming school year:
A Few Reminders for the First Day:
- School Hours: Please remember that doors will open at 7:30 AM. Classes start promptly at 8:20 AM.
- First Day Pick-Up and Drop-Off: For those driving students to school, doors will open at 7:30 AM. Pick-up and drop-off are off of Convict Hill Road where the flag pole is located. Only one lane will be open for morning and afternoon. Please remember to be vigilant and observant during the first few weeks of school when you pick-up or drop-off your child. Do not park or exit your vehicle in the pick-up or drop-off zone. We appreciate your patience to keep our procedures safe and efficient. Please note, parents will not be permitted to walk students to class to maintain a secure environment for all students. If there is a need for assistance where you need to enter the office, please park at the end of the driveway.
First Week Schedule:
- Tuesday, August 20th (B Day): Students will report to periods 5-8.
- Wednesday, August 21st (A Day): Students will report to periods 1-4.
Cell Phone Policy Reminder: We’ve received positive feedback regarding our new Cell Phone Policy, and I thank you for your support. Please remind your child that cell phones and other electronic devices should be turned off and kept out of sight while at school. Our team will reinforce this policy from the first day onward, but your reinforcement at home is crucial.
Let us all commit to making this school year successful and memorable. Together, we will support our students in achieving their best, navigating challenges, and enjoying their journey at Covington Middle School.
Thank you for your trust and support. Here's to a fantastic school year ahead!
Proud Principal,
Cedric Maddox
