Sporting events have
started for Carver Middle School! While we welcome our families and fans
support for our Carver student athletes, there are new COVID-19 expectations
and guidelines for all spectators attending Carver sporting events. Due to COVID-19 and
to provide space for social distancing, student sections have been closed until
further notice. Students attending as fans must be seated with their parent or
guardian during the game and wear a mask throughout the games. Please
click here and review other COVID-19 spectator guidelines for attending Carver games.

COVID. Please have your student remain in the car with you until the
building opens at 7:30 am. Do not drop your student off in the parking lot.

Have a library book still at home from any SPS library from 3rd

the Carver morning or afternoon car lines or to the secure front entrance area

Parents! Need help
accessing and checking online learning with your student??? Click
here for a list of resources from SPS. You
can also click here for a guide created by our
librarian for “how-to” items for parents. Please be sure to reach out with questions as
we navigate online learning. Ask your student to canvas inbox (email) his or
her teachers and read the answers from the teacher together or email the
teachers directly (teacher
email list here)! Teachers are available via email or the
librarian is willing to help via email, phone, or Instagram. At Carver, we want
you to know we are in this together and we want to help you and your child
during this virtual learning experience at home.

9. Walking home from school using Battlefield Rd? For the safety of our students as they cross the crosswalks in the carline and on Battlefield, all students walking home from school toward Battlefield Rd will be dismissed from school after the car line has ended. For the first few days of school the carline may last until around 3:15 pm. Students walking home using the trail can leave at 2:55 pm.
10.
Picking up your
student in the afternoon carline? We will be dismissing students
differently this year for the carline. This year, we will dismiss students at
2:55 pm by student name only. Students will remain in the classroom until they
are called to the carline by the adults supervising. To speed up the carline
time, please have your student’s
first and last name displayed on paper on your dash. Please use LARGE
letters.

off medication.
