Carver's Weekly Update
Week of Monday, August 1, 2022
I want to remind everyone that school will begin on Monday, August 1 for all students. Please view our procedures for morning drop off and afternoon pick up below.
We will not register students at Carver on the first day of school. If you have not completed the online registration, you will need to report to our Attendance and Zoning Office (412 South Dargan Street) to complete your child's registration. Reminder, your child's registration is incomplete if you do not submit your proof of residency. We will continue to collect the proof of residency information through email (dwilliamson@fsd1.org) or in person. Students whose registration is not complete should not attend school/class until this is done.

Morning Drop Off Procedures
Please drop off your children in the mornings at your first stopping point within the car line. If you are waiting until you get to a particular door before dropping your children off, this will slow down the smooth flow of traffic in the car line. Make sure students have what they need as they exit their vehicles each morning.
Due to limited parking in the front of the school, parents will only be allowed to walk students to the cross walk between 7:00am and 7:40am. We are anticipating more vehicles in the car line, and we don't want the crosswalk to slow down the car line. I want to encourage parents to stay in the car line when dropping off students.
If students plan to eat breakfast, they will need to be in the cafeteria no later than 7:35am. The first bell will ring at 7:40am, and the late bell will ring at 7:45am. All students should be seated in class and ready to learn by 7:45am. The tardy guidelines (per district policy) will strictly be enforced at Carver. Parents who bring their children to school after 7:45am will need to sign in their students.
Parents may walk students to class or the designated area on the first day of school.
Afternoon Procedures for the Car Line and Early Sign-out
If students need to be signed out for afternoon appointments, please sign them out by 1:45pm. After this time, you will need to wait in the car line to pick up your children.
Remember to stay in the right lane when you drive into the entrance/car line in the afternoon. All vehicles should remain in the right lane until at least 1:45pm. The left lane needs to remain open for parents who need to pick up their kids early, emergencies, and/or for any deliveries that need to be brought into the school. Again, we ask that the left lane not be blocked before 1:45pm. Parents, we need your support with this. Please make arrangements to have car riders picked up by 2:45pm each day. Don't forget to make sure your car signs are visible.
