This morning during arrival for the first day of school in Covington, there were grins from ear to ear on faces of students as they ran to greet their new classroom teacher and visit with past teachers and staff.
It's been a difficult couple of years, to say the least, but Covington Partners and Covington Independent Public Schools are ready for what the 22/23 school year will bring.
We may face some challenges as we continue to move towards a greater sense of normalcy for our school community, but there is no doubt that Covington will rise to the occasion. We know that our students and families need the services of Covington Partners. Our students need out-of-school time programs to provide academic tutoring, youth development activities, and social-emotional support. Our students need positive adult role models to become mentors in their lives. Our students need to know and understand their strengths. Our students and families need YOU.
We will work to ensure that our students have the tools necessary to be successful as we continue to provide high quality instruction and wrap-around support services. Our work will continue to align with our vision and mission of moving our community forward by eliminating boundaries to learning and success. Through innovation and collaboration, we will continue to provide safe and engaging learning environments in which all Covington students realize the promise of their full potential.
This school year is going to bring lots more smiles.
