Want
to help us celebrate our fantastic teachers? Teacher Appreciation Week is May 6 – 10!! Please
celebrate all the work teachers do daily by sending a quick thank you email or
note to your child’s favorite teacher. Saying thank you is free and means so
very much to our teachers and support staff!

grade celebration again this year. The celebration will be on 5/17/19 from 6 pm
– 8 pm at Boys and Girls Club. Shirts,
including student names on the back, are on sale for $10. If you would like to
purchase one, please send $10 to the office (check or cash) with the size of

attending must have a signed permission form. If you would like to volunteer,
please contact PTSA at CarverPTSA@outlook.com or on facebook at Carver PTSA.

in the Carver library on Thursday, May 9, from 4 pm – 5 pm. All
parents/guardians are invited to attend. If you need more information about
Carver PTSA, please contact PTSA via email at CarverPTSA@outlook.com or on

Reminder
that all medications with the school nurse must be picked up by an adult by the
last day of school. Per Springfield Public School medication
policy, the school nurse is not permitted to send unused medication home with a
student. All unclaimed medication will be discarded on May 21, 2019 at 10:00
am. Please contact Nurse Nancy at 523-6830 or nasadler@spsmail.org with any
questions or if you need to pick them up after 10 am on the last day of school.
6.
Warmer weather is here! Please make sure to
talk with your student about appropriate dress code. The school district dress
code policy indicates: Strapless, backless, revealing tops, or clothing
revealing the bare midriff are not to be worn in the school building. Clothing
must cover all underwear and shorts should reach to the mid-thigh. Students not
wearing appropriate clothing will be asked to call home for different clothes
or offered clothing from the nurse. Thank you for talking with your student
about appropriate dress at school.
7.
Make Explore
part of your summer plans! There will
be two sessions of Explore summer school this year. This year, students can
also register for online remedial classes if a student failed one or more
courses in the regular school year. Register for Explore classes at
sps.org/Explore or call Mrs. Kensinger at 523-6800 to register for remedial
classes.
8.
As a reminder, please make sure your student
brings a charged Chromebook to school each day. Students without a Chromebook
will call a parent or guardian to bring the Chromebook to school. If the
Chromebook cannot be brought to school, students will take notes to complete
the work at home that evening. Please remind your student to charge his or her
Chromebook nightly and bring the Chromebook daily.
9.
Our counselors at Carver have an online form
accessible in Canvas to help students as they encounter situations at school.
Students can access the form at school or at home via Canvas using a chromebook
to alert a counselor of a concern. If you need help or are unable to find the
Canvas resource, please call 523-6800 and ask to speak to a counselor.
10.
Please make sure you have your child picked
up by 3 pm each day. If you need after school care for your student or just
want to avoid the afternoon carline, sign up for Y-teens after school care at
862-7456 or at the Ward or Jones YMCA buildings. Y-teens is available from 2:45
pm – 6:30 pm each school day at Carver.
11.
Reporting safety concerns will now be easier
with a new, anonymous tip line launched by Springfield Public Schools. The
dedicated tip line will enable students, teachers, parents, or community
members to notify SPS School Police of potential safety threats with a quick
text message to 417-319-2901, through the MySPS app, or on the district website
at www.sps.org/tipline.
12.
Check out the new MySPS app from Springfield
Public Schools to access menus, bus delay information, parent resources, online
MealPay, directory link, notifications, eschool plus access, canvas access, SPS
news, and the school calendar.
