Carver Announcements for April 9


Hello Carver Families!

We hope you had a great weekend! This email is intended to keep parents updated on reminders, upcoming activities, and announcements. Be sure to let the office know if you change your email address. Be sure to check Carver's webpage for updated daily announcements.

1.        Carver Middle School students have partnered with teachers to create a Pick-a-Project to fund a media lab for students. This project would provide two green screens complete with lights, eight recording boxes, microphones, and soundproofing tiles to allow our students to create broadcasts for school announcements and record audio or video for class assignments. Please consider sharing this Pick-a-Project with others to help Carver students. Click here for a link to share and help!

2.        If you haven’t purchased a yearbook and would like to have one reserved, please do so this week! You can purchase a yearbook in the office or online at yearbookforever.com. The cost for a yearbook is $18.

3.        Please let us know if you are interested in more information about serving in a Carver PTSA office next year! If you need more information, please contact PTSA via email at CarverPTSA@outlook.com.

4.        Please be sure to check grades online as Carver has gone paperless with mid-quarter reports and grade cards. Call or email if you would like a printed copy. To access grade cards and mid-quarter progress reports, use the directions below:
·       Log on to the home access district website:

·       Enter your user ID and case sensitive password. If you do not remember your password, please obtain a handout with your home access password from school.

·       Click the IPR GRADES at the top, center of the page.
·       Click on Report Card or Progress Report.
·       MP1 stands for Marking Period 1 (1st quarter), MP2 stands for Marking Period 2, MP3 is for Marking Period 3 (3rd quarter).
