Carver's Weekly Update
Week of Tuesday, January 17 2023
In observance of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, our school will be closed for all students and staff on Monday, January 16.
Carver Parents/Guardians,
- Our school day begins at 7:40 AM. All students should be in class and prepared to learn by 7:45 AM. Students who arrive late to school miss out on valuable instructional time. Our car line runs smoothly from 7:00-7:30 AM. There are too many parents trying to drop off students between 7:35 -7:45 in the mornings. This causes major chaos and delays. It is your students who are affected by this when they are late to class. I want to encourage parents to drop off students by 7:30 AM to avoid the increase in traffic.
- The disabled parking space is for students/adults who have a need to park close to the school. The disabled parking space is not for dropping off students without this need.
- The Good News Club will begin meeting with students again on Monday, January 23. Applications have been sent home with students. Returning Good News Club students will not need to complete another application. A kindergarten student may join if he/she has an older sibling who will be attending the Good News Club.
