Carver Family Newsletter

It's March Madness!! We are very close to our well-deserved Spring Break (March 27-31).

Here are a few updates from our school. Please share this newsletter with 3 families so that we are all in the know.

Many many thanks for your continued support and partnership!

PS: Here is a picture of my favorite city preparing for the festivities. Chicago celebrates St. Patrick's day in a major way by tinting the Chicago River green!

To commemorate St. Patrick's Day, Carver students and staff may wear GREEN tomorrow, March 17, 2023.

Students may wear any shade of green, and any or all green accessories they have (socks, hair bows, etc). Please, no hats or beanies.

St. Patrick's Day and shamrocks, among many other symbols, are part of an Irish tradition which honors the life of Saint Patrick and the genesis of a specific religion in Ireland. We are wearing green to acknowledge the history of St. Patrick as well as all of the things that the color green represents:

-Safety

-Life

-Nature

-Springtime

-Freshness

-Hope

-Calm

-Tolerance

SFUSD Spring Break will be March 27-March 31, 2023. All schools will be closed.

Our Beacon Program will host students at the Boys and Girls Club Willie Mays Clubhouse from Monday through Thursday, 9:30am - 4:30pm. The program will not be open on Friday, March 31, 2023.

Program fee is $20, which will cover all activities and field trips for the week.

For more information, please call Kevin Wilson, Beacon Director, at 415-269-4466.

It's tiiiiiime!!

Carver ES will offer Spring Photos for all students on April 11, 2023.

Students may wear an outfit of their choice (or your choice) for their photos. Flyers with pricing packages will go home within the coming days.

Students in grades 3-5 will take the SBAC exam beginning April 17, 2023.

Families will be invited to an informational evening in early April where we will share schedules, test taking strategies, and other super important information.

I am so excited to share that Carver students have made significant and dramatic gains in reading since the beginning of our school year. Educators have shared progress during our March Parent-Teacher Conference Week. We are expecting our students to show what they know on all portions of the exam.

Families, staff, and our entire community will prepare the children and cheer them on to success!

Please join us on Friday, March 24, from 3:00-6:00 for our Family Friday International Women's Day.

Our very own Montae Powell (grade 5) will host a panel of women from the community who will share the value of women's contributions to our society, and their own personal journeys.
