DESE District Review – February 24-26, 2025

The Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) has selected the Carver Public Schools to participate in a targeted district review. The purpose of the district review is to provide formative and actionable feedback on district practices, enabling district leaders to reflect on progress and strengthen staff and student performance. Representatives will be onsite at both Carver Elementary School and Carver Middle High School the week of February 24h as part of the review.

In addition, parent/guardians can play a role in this review by attending an online parent forum on Wednesday, February 26th from 6:00p – 7:00p to gather perspectives on communication with families, opportunities for family involvement and leadership, opportunities for students within the district, and more. If you are interested in joining, please register ahead of time at:

Click on the Parent Teacher Conference links below:

We strongly encourage parents/guardians to make appointments with one or all of the individual student’s teachers, the student’s guidance counselor, and/or the assistant principal or principal. This is a good opportunity to strengthen the partnership between home and school. You may simply want to connect with your student’s teacher to gain insight into the school day. You may want to address a concern or want to celebrate an achievement in a particular subject area. Please take advantage of this time to have some quiet conversation with our faculty and staff. As always, please don’t hesitate to call if you have any questions or are having any trouble scheduling online.

TRY IT TUESDAY at Carver Elementary School
February 25, 2025

We are excited to announce that we will be continuing our Try it Tuesday event again this year in the Elementary cafeteria where we will be offering samples of fruits, vegetables or seafood. This year our goal is to introduce more varieties of seafood, plant based and culturally responsive foods.

Last month we introduced Bok Choy that we grew in our hydroponic units that the students truly enjoyed and has already been offered on our menu. This month’s Try it Tuesday will be held on Tuesday, February 25, 2025.

As we look to create recipes that are more culturally responsive, I am excited to have a guest Chef join us 10 introduce Pupusa and Tamales. Encourage your student to try Pupusa and Tamales at our Try it Tuesday table in the cafeteria and help us move towards greater food acceptance skills.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Theresa Vernazzaro, District Director of Food & Nutrition Services

Kudos to the Elementary Chorus who performed for the School Committee at their last meeting highlighting both a song that they are working on in school and also a song from the upcoming Elementary Musical, The Lion King. The Chorus also performed at the recent All School Assembly at the Elementary School where students were also surprised with a staff FlashMob! Great job to all involved in both performances!
