About CGS
2024-2025 Coventry Public Schools District Handbook
Coventry Grammar School opened its doors to children in 1955 and, although its physical appearance and grade configurations have changed over the years, the same welcoming spirit that greeted the first generation of its students continues to the present day.
Educational programs and curriculum development at Coventry Grammar School are organized around a K-2 instructional framework. Staff members are wholly committed to providing the support needed so that all children experience success. Classes are grouped heterogeneously and instructional groupings are flexible to allow students diverse learning opportunities and to encourage students to communicate and collaborate with their peers. Any concerns regarding students’ progress in academics, social, emotional, or behavioral areas are discussed promptly with parents and referred to the school’s Student Assistance Team (SAT) if warranted.
Annual classroom themes and school programs at Coventry Grammar School stress the importance of friendships, caring, sharing, and respecting the differences of others whether in class, on the playground, at lunch, or on the school bus. Our foundational concepts are Respect, Responsible, and Safe based on our newly adopted Positive Behavioral Intervention Support (PBIS). To help ensure the encouragement of a safe, respectful, and welcoming learning environment for all students, our faculty and staff will continue to receive training on restorative practices.
Home-school partnerships and connections foster student success. Clear, regular, and two-way communications between home and school are essential. Each student’s academic and social progress is reported to parents three times per year and parent conferences are scheduled in November and March. Additionally, communication is encouraged via telephone calls, notes, email exchanges, and parent meetings.
Our school’s website posts information about our school, telephone numbers and email addresses of our faculty and staff, an up-to-date calendar of events, and slides of special school activities, presentations, and celebrations. In addition, teachers send home frequent updates of what children are currently learning in class.
In all areas and programs, parent volunteers are welcome and valued! Their active presence and eager participation bonds them to our school in a very special way, and their diverse skills and talents are an incredible resource. In addition, our school’s dynamic and dedicated PTO provides creative, enthusiastic, and unwavering support for co-curricular programs and field experiences, and sponsors a number of “family fun” activities throughout the year at no cost to parents or students. The PTO supports PJ Day and family evening events to support pediatric cancer patients at CCMC. The CGS Talent Show, always a marvel, provides the opportunities for students to share their talents with staff and families. Another great event sponsored by the PTO is the spring Family Fun Night to bring all CGS families together.
