• NEW Dismissal Traffic Patterns @ CMHS
  Just a reminder, in an effort to alleviate gridlock traffic on South Meadow Road in the afternoon, there will be a new procedure for student pick-up at the end of the day .  If you arrive to pick-up your student prior to the 2:05 dismissal bell, you will need to park in the parking lot by the football field/high school gym and your student will meet you in the parking lot.  Parking will no longer be allowed in the main driveway and/or in front of the main entrance.  The exit route for parent pick-up will remain the same, all parents will exit onto South Meadow Road as the Pond Street Exit is used for buses and student drivers.  Carver Police and Carver Middle High School Staff will be vigilant during this time to support a smooth change of our traffic pattern.    Thank you in advance for your cooperation and patience as we make this transition.
