PRINCIPAL MESSAGE

Halloween is another day of learning at Cove. We are looking forward to a fun and safe celebration on Wednesday, October 31st.

All students in grades K- 5 may wear costumes that do not interfere with their learning: No blood/ gore, weapons, face paint, masks, or props/accessories allowed in school. Please make sure that costumes are age-appropriate for K-5 and respectful of different cultures.

Kindergarten Parade: At 12:00pm on Halloween, we will have a parade of our kindergartners.  It lasts about 10-15 minutes and will go around the courtyard and gallery. This is a cherished and very brief school-wide celebration that honors our young students! Parents are invited to watch.
