Last Friday, we sent out a survey asking parents/guardians to identify if their student needs a device to be able to do work at home during the school closure. We will be distributing devices to those students who identified that they need a device on Thursday, March 26th. Please read the letter linked below that outlines the distribution procedures.
If you have not notified us that you need a device but do, please gives us a call at 508-866-6160 or send an email to kniefs@carver.org.
At this time, the Carver Public Schools are still scheduled to be closed through Monday, April 6th with all students returning to school on Tuesday, April 7th.
In the event the Governor decides to extend the closure, we are making plans to develop a more formalized online learning program. As part of that planning, we are attempting to determine what students do not have access to the internet or a device/computer to do work at home. If your student does not have access to either the internet or a device/computer at home, please complete the survey linked below. If you know someone who does not have access please have them contact us, or you can contact us at (508) 866-6160.

The Carver Public Schools will be closed on Friday, March 13th. All school events are cancelled starting at 4:00 pm on Thursday, March 12 through the upcoming weekend.
The attached letter outlines the reasons for the closure.
The Carver Public Schools’ Preschool Program, located at the Carver Elementary School, is currently scheduling peer model screening appointments for the 2020-2021 school year. Screenings will be held by appointment only on Fridays in April and May.
A screening is required for acceptance into the program. Children considered are those who do not currently receive special education services and are not in need of special education services. Applicants are expected to demonstrate age appropriate skills (within 6 months) in the areas of speech and language, cognitive/school readiness, fine and gross motor development, and social/emotional and behavioral development. In addition, a child must be at least 3 years of age by September 1, 2020 and toilet trained. They must also be a resident of Carver and families must provide transportation to and from the program. Those children found eligible will be entered into a lottery. Appropriate peer model students who are not selected in the lottery will be placed on a waiting list. Please note that slots are limited.
This is a fee based program for peer model students. The fee for each half day session is $12.00.
We currently offer 2, 3, and 4 day half day preschool options as well as a full day PK/K Transitional class for those children turning 4 by September 1, 2020.
If you would like to schedule an appointment, please contact the Carver Elementary School Office at (508) 866-6210.
Please note:
If you are a Carver Resident and feel that your preschooler, age 2.5 – 5 (just before kindergarten), has special needs, please contact the Carver Elementary school to schedule a screening appointment. Screenings are generally held on the first Friday of each month.
The Carver Elementary School will be scheduling kindergarten registration and screening appointments on the following days:
Only children who will be 5 years old on or before September 1, 2020 are eligible to enroll in kindergarten per Carver Public Schools’ entrance age policy.
Parents/guardians must call the school to make an appointment for registration and screening. Scheduling will begin on Monday, 2/3/20 between the hours of 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM. The phone number is 866-6210. Please note that due to the winter recess, February 17 through February 21, 2020, the office will be closed. After receiving your appointment, you will be given information on how to access the registration packet online.
