Week of April 8, 2024

Hello Carver Families,

I hope you all have had a great weekend. We are looking forward to having our Carver Cubs back at school tomorrow.

Please take some time to review the following information below to help you plan for this week and upcoming events. 

 

Special Announcements

Eclipse: The 2024 Great North American Eclipse will happen on Monday, April 8, 2024. In North Carolina, the partial eclipse will begin around 1:58pm and peak at approximately 3:15pm when the moon obscures about 82% of the sun. Students will have an opportunity to participate in this event outside by viewing with special glasses or by participating in alternative activities inside. We are excited to be able to participate in this phenomenon as a school. 

*April is: National Autism Awareness Month, Occupational Therapist Appreciation Month and  School Library Month

 

Congratulations to Carver Cub Jordyn Daniels, 5th grade (Ms. Turner)! She will be recognized at the School Board Meeting on Tuesday evening as Carver’s Spotlight On Student. We are super proud of Jordyn and all that she has accomplished this school year.

 

*Dress Code: We have entered into Spring and consistent warm weather is sure to come. Please remember that there is a WCPSS dress code. Here is a specific part of the code I would like for you to review as you assist your students with choosing attire to wear to school:

Specifically:

a) Students must wear clothing that covers their skin from chest to mid-thigh with opaque (non-see-through) fabric in front, back, and on the sides.

b) Students must wear shoes at all times except when changing for physical education or athletic practices or events or when specifically directed otherwise by a teacher or administrator.

c) Clothing must cover undergarments (waistbands and straps excluded).

d) Breasts, genitals and buttocks must be covered with opaque (non-see-through) fabric.

e) Clothing must be suitable for all scheduled classroom activities including physical education, science labs, wood shop, and other activities where unique hazards exist.

Social Emotional Learning At Carver

During this week's SEL time, students will continue Unit 4: Problem Solving. This unit focuses on how to manage strong emotions, how to  feel calm before solving problems, how to describe a problem and identify the wants and needs of those involved, how to think of many solutions and explore potential outcomes, and how to pick the best solution.  Please access Ms. McCloud's Website for more information.
