Carver PTSA will meet this Thursday in the
Carver Library at 4:30 pm. Please join Carver PTSA and be an active parent in
our school community! Research shows students are more engaged when parents are
more engaged in the school community! Contact PTSA via email at
CarverPTSA@outlook.com or on facebook at Carver PTSA for more information.
3.
Come cheer on
our sport teams!! We encourage parents to come with students
and cheer on our teams at each of our sporting events. For students without a guardian present
in the stands, the guardian must pick up the student by 8 pm for each home and away
game for all sports. Students attending the game as a spectator
should make clear arrangements to have a ride at the designated pick-up time of
8 pm PRIOR to attending the game. Students picked up later than the
expected pick-up time or with no pick-up ride in the stands by 8 pm could
forfeit the privilege of attending future athletic activities as a spectator.
If the game is not over at the 8 pm pick-up time, the driver/pick-up ride can
enter the game for FREE for the remainder of the game to sit with the student
in the stands and cheer our teams to victory.
4.
As a
reminder, school ends at 2:45 pm! Please have your student picked up before 3 pm
each day. Students not picked up before 3 pm will come to the
office and we will call home. Please come into the office to speak to an
administrator when your pick up your student after 3 pm. For our families that
need a later pick up than 3 pm, please enroll your student in the Y-Teens
(after school program provided for pay by the YMCA). Click here for
registration information.

Chromebooks must come back to school each
day. Students arriving to school without a chromebook will come to the office
and call home to have the chromebook brought to school. Students unable to have
the chromebook brought to school will be expected to take their own notes on
any online assignment or online learning and do the assignments as homework due

CELL PHONE POLICY FOR CARVER: Students can
use cell phones in green zones during the day. A green zone is between classes
(students using a cell phone are not excused for being late to class for using
a cell phone and will receive a tardy consequence), during lunch, before school
until 8 am, and after school ends at 2:45 pm. Carver is not responsible for
lost or stolen cell phones or cases. The restroom and bathrooms are red zones.
No phone use in the restroom or locker rooms. Classrooms are also red zones for
phones unless the teacher has specifically allowed cell phone use in the
syllabus. Please contact the teacher if you have questions about cell phone use
in the classroom. Please make sure your student with a cell phone understands
the cell phone policy if you send a cell phone with them to school. If an
emergency arises during the day, please contact the office (417-523-6800), and
a message can be relayed to your student. Thank you for helping us navigate
student cell phone use during the learning time at school!
