Carver Announcements for March 22, 2020



Hello Carver Families,

As you know, Spring Break was extended, and the district is currently planning for when and how to best educate all students in a safe and dependable manner while we are not in session. Some information to know for this week:


1.        On Monday or Tuesday – March 23rd and 24th – you will receive a call from a Carver teacher.  It may appear to be a Carver number or it may have a blocked Caller ID number.  If possible, please answer that call and speak with the Carver teacher for a few minutes. The Carver teacher will be asking a few scripted questions about how best to support your student related to online assignments, any need for food, computer access, and other similar questions. 

2.        Carver will be handing out a breakfast and lunch combined food pack from 9:30 am – 12:30 pm each day in the Carver car line. Your student does not need to be present in the car to get the food pack.

3.        Online instruction for our students will begin March 30th, so they need to be ready to learn from home at that time. Students will need access to a computer and Internet order to complete assignments. If those tools are not readily available for your student, please let the Carver teacher know that important information when you receive the call on Monday or Tuesday.

4.        We will have limited ability in the office to answer the phones March 23rd – March 27th in the Carver office as we will be shorthanded during the week. We will return check phone messages and return calls and email messages as soon as possible.

5.        Soon after the March 30th learning begins for students, teachers will begin updating grades online. Please be sure to check assignments and grades online each day for your student and talk with your student about each grade. Please be sure to email your child’s teacher for detailed information on assignments and grades during the extended time off. To check grades and assignments, please follow these steps:

·       Home Access Center website: https://homeaccess.sps.org/homeaccess
·       Log-in: Enter User Name and Password
o   If you have not previously logged on, you will be asked to create two questions with answers in case you forget your password in the future.
o   If you need your log-in and password, please come in or call the office.
·       Click on Grades for grade card for the quarter and on Classes for assignments and overall scores in each class throughout the quarter.  


6.        Carver PE Department has partnered with Foundation for Springfield Public Schools to for a Pick-a-Project. Click here to view a flyer on the project. The project is designed to raise money to purchase a specialized heart monitor that will send wireless updates on the student’s performance for the day to the teacher and parents and can also be set to average a class performance for friendly class competitions. Please considering donating or sharing this link to promote Carver’s Pick-a-Project! Click here to donate or to copy and share the link! Thank you!

Thank you for your assistance as we work toward providing an education for your student. Please know as a Carver family, we are committed to serving all students and care about your family.

Take care and be safe.

Carver Principal
