Welcome to the Cove School Summer ProgramJune 14 - July 26, 2019
Dear Families,
The Cove School is proud to off er a comprehensive summer school program taught
by highly qualifi ed teachers. Classes are held from 9:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Core
academic courses are off ered in the morning. Electives and the majority of specialized
instruction are off ered in the afternoon. Please go to www.coveschool.org and
click on “Cove Summer Program” to register. Registration is due by May 17, 2019.
Summer school at Cove is a unique experience for students with learning disabilities
and meets a variety of needs. Some students need to maintain previously learned
academic skills while others need remediation. High school students may need
additional credits while others might attend because it is a requirement by their
school district. All students are off ered the extended time to practice social skills.
Whatever the reason, The Cove School meets the needs of the individual student.
All classes have a maximum of ten students. They may attend one, two or all
three morning classes, and one or both afternoon classes. Attending classes in
the afternoon only is also an option. Full day attendance combines the academic
classes in the morning with integrated activities of interest in the afternoon.
In order to receive credit, high school students are required to attend 27 out of 30
days and complete a fi nal exam. If a student is absent more than 3 days, in order
to receive credit, a specifi c plan to complete ESY assignments must be developed
by the student and his/her teacher(s), agreed upon by parent(s)/guardian(s) and
approved by ESY administrator.
Please acquaint yourself with the course off erings. We look forward to seeing you
on June 14th!
Sincerely,
Regina Aniolowski Alex Laube
Elementary/Junior High Administrator High School Administrator

all new students need to send the most recent evaluation of the child and a copy of
