Covington Connection, September 16th - 20th, 2024

Dear Covington Middle School Parents / Guardians,

As we wrap up week 4, I’m proud to say we are in the full swing of the school year. The atmosphere at Covington feels different—better—than it has been since I first arrived two years ago. This is a true testament to the hard work and dedication of our incredible faculty and staff, who have been instrumental in supporting and guiding me in my leadership. I also want to acknowledge the unwavering support from our parents and students throughout the Covington community. Together, we’re creating a positive and thriving environment.

A special thank you to the parents who attended our first Coffee with the Principal. Although it was a small group, the open dialogue and conversations we had about the school were meaningful and impactful. I encourage more of you to join future events as we continue these important discussions.

Next week, we will continue make-up sessions for the MAP Assessment. Please make sure your students bring their Chromebooks to school, as they are essential for completing the assessments. On the topic of Chromebooks, I want to remind everyone that if a student loses their charger, it is the responsibility of the parents to replace it. Unfortunately, the school does not have the resources to replace lost or damaged chargers on a continuous basis.

Thank you all for your continued support. I look forward to what the rest of the school year will bring!

 Cedric Maddox
