The Carver Connection

We are happy to report that our PTA is in the process of being reformed! With that, we MUST establish a board. We desire your partnership and ask that you consider serving in one of the positions listed below!

Please find more details below as to how you can serve on the board and/or consider joining, as a member, us as we embark on this journey. Together, we can make a difference!

Board must have:

• President

• Vice President

• Secretary

• Treasurer

*The 16th District will assist in the selection of the Board. The school is NOT involved in this process. Therefore, please email Susan Voglesong, at susan@16thdistrictpta.org, with your inquiries or interest.

Please consider joining our PTA, membership cost is $5, by following the link below. Keep in mind that membership is an annual renewal; therefore, if you were a member before, you will need to join again. Our goal is to have at least 110 of our families join our PTA; this includes all adults in the household. Let's meet this goal and establish a strong home/school partnership!

• GWC will host spirit week during our last week, December 16-20th, before winter break. These days are OPTIONAL and scholars may participate in any or all of the days they choose.

• We still need families/guardians to serve on our PTA Board - please see details above and contact Susan Voglesong at susan@16thdistrictpta.org if you would like to serve on the board.
• The uniform store is OPEN NOW and will close on Friday, December 20th.
• Friday, December 20th if our last day of school before winter break. Scholars will return on Tuesday, January 7th.
• Transportation changes MUST go through our front office staff by noon each day. Please email Ms. Jackson at kisha.jackson@fayette.kyschools.us

Uniform Reminders:

• Scholars are expected to be in GWC approved shirts and pants daily.
• Please ensure that you layer with a school-approved sweatshirt, if needed; otherwise, sweatshirts that are not part of the GWC uniform will be considered outwear and placed in cubbies with coats.
• Scholars may wear athletic wear on Wednesdays (tops and bottoms) if they choose. If they opt out of athletic wear, they should be in uniform (including khaki pants as jeans are only permitted on Fridays).
• On Friday GWC Spirit Day, scholars may wear jeans, but they MUST be in a GWC shirt.

Another way we use PBIS is to allow scholars to shop at the Dojo store. Dojo is the platform we use to communicate with families and to award points earned by scholars. Scholars are awarded Dojo points for following school wide expectations and for going above and beyond the expectations. These points place scholars into levels. They use their level to choose something from the Dojo store.

We typically open the store in the first week of a new month in recognition of all the points earned in the previous month. Scholars work hard to “level up” so they can shop each month. Using the Dojo Store helps us celebrate our scholars in a positive way.

*Would you like to contribute to our Dojo Store? Follow this link to our wish list. Thank you for all you do for our scholars!

*Just simply drop them off in our front office where we will ensure they make their way to Ms. Wertzler and Ms. Daniels.

Parents and Families, do you have a suggestion or idea that you would like to share? If so, we would love to hear them! Our Family and Community Engagement (FACE) team consists of: an administrator, parent representative, community representative (open seat), educators, counselors, FACE Liaison, and Family Liaison. We meet monthly and work to support our students and families.

If you have a suggestion or idea as it relates to communication, community support/partnerships, and/or ideas that can grow our school, we welcome those in the form of an email directed to our parent representative, Christin Jones (2nd grade scholar, Easton Wilson's mom). She will present those at the meeting, and we will discuss them and determine how we will move forward.

If you would like to share anything, please email Christin Jones at christinjones.cj@gmail.com by the meeting dates listed below:

• January 8
• February 5
• March 5
• April 15
• May 7
