Our School

Greetings Covington Elementary Community,

Welcome to the 2025-2026 school year at Covington Elementary! I’m thrilled to welcome our families–both returning and new–as we begin another year of excellence, connection, and growth.
This year, we are proud to introduce our new school-wide theme: “Growing Leaders Every Day.” At Covington Elementary, we believe every moment is an opportunity to cultivate confidence, responsibility, and leadership in our students. Whether in the classroom, on the playground, or in the community, our goal is to help every child discover their unique voice and leadership potential.
As the parent of two former Covington Elementary Little Lions, I am honored to once again serve this incredible school community. My own children thrived here, and I am deeply committed to ensuring that every child at CES feels seen, supported, and empowered to lead.

Together, we will ensure that each student reaches their full potential and develops a lifelong love for learning. Covington Elementary will continue our quest in cultivating little leaders with our Leader in Me initiative. I encourage you to explore our website, stay informed about upcoming events, and get involved in the various activities and programs we offer.

We would love for you to be part of our PTA!  Let your child’s teacher know if you are interested, or visit our school website to get more information.

Reminder – The first bell rings at 7:50, when drop off may begin.  School begins at 8:20.  Please arrive on time to avoid your child being tardy and losing instructional time.  

If you are visiting our school campus to volunteer, attend an event, eat lunch with your child, etc. please make sure you have your ID and check in at the front office.  Please keep contact information current through the front office and your child’s teacher.  It is important that we are able to get in touch with you at all times.  

Let's make this school year a memorable and successful one!

Warm regards,

LaRobyn Houston
Principal, Covington Elementary
