Carver All-Stars Weekly Update

Thank you for your continued support in making Carver Elementary a place where Eagles soar high! Your partnership makes all the difference, and we are grateful for your dedication to our students' success. We also want to express our appreciation for working with us during the two Remote Learning days due to inclement weather.

Looking ahead, if we have additional Remote Learning days, students are expected to log into their Google Classrooms to complete assignments. Students have all day to complete the work to be counted present for the school day. If there are any issues, students and parents can contact teachers through Google Classroom, ClassDojo, or email.

Please ensure your students are ready for all the exciting activities and assessments coming up. Let’s make this a great start to the new year!
