Massachusetts State Officials visit Carver Middle High School
The Healey-Driscoll Administration along with Secretary of Education Patrick Tutwiler visited Carver Middle High School on Wednesday, April 3, where they visited Carver Innovation Pathways classrooms and announced the awarding of new Innovation Career Pathway designations to 36 high schools, of which 22 are new to the program.     “I was thrilled to see first-hand how students are exploring different career paths in high-demand industries like manufacturing at Carver Middle High School today. We’re excited that students here and at four other schools will have the opportunity to explore our Clean Energy Pathway next school year,” said Governor Maura Healey. “We want to ensure that what students learn in school helps them get where they want to go, while also meeting our workforce needs. That’s why we are continuing investments in transformational programs like Innovation Career Pathways with our FY25 budget.”

Students in the State House

Job well done to Student Ambassadors, Sofie De Coste and Davany Thongchun who were the student body elected representatives to the Massachusetts Student Government Day.  The program provides educators and students from Massachusetts’s public and private high schools with many opportunities to learn first hand about state government and allows students to voice their positions on important current issues through prepared debates and participate in the legislative process through simulated committee hearings and House and Senate formal sessions. All students will heard from legislative leaders and had the opportunity to give testimony on two current bills before the General Court.

NEWS Updates:

PreK Role Model/Typical Peers 2022-2023

The Carver Public Schools’ Preschool Program, located at the Carver Elementary School, is currently scheduling peer model screening appointments for the 2022-2023 school year.

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, 2022 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.

If you would like to schedule an appointment, please contact the Carver Elementary School Office at (508) 866-6210.
