Carver Middle School -

INCLEMENT WEATHER UPDATE: Monday, January 26 will be an eLearning Day
***All Weekend Activities Cancelled***

District 7 has been closely monitoring the forecast this week and taking important steps to get ready for the days ahead. The National Weather Service has issued an Ice Storm Warning beginning Saturday and continuing through Monday. As a result, ALL activities and field trips are cancelled for Saturday and Sunday, and District 7 will hold an eLearning Day on Monday, January 26. Below freezing temperatures are expected into next week, so we will continue to monitor conditions and communicate any additional updates.

Teachers have communicated instructions on eLearning assignments. If your student brought their Macbook home today, please be sure they fully charge it TONIGHT so they have full power heading into the weekend, in the event of power outages.

Additional information about District 7’s eLearning guidelines can be found here: https://spartanburg7.org/eLearning

Finally, we know our students were hoping for snow! While chances look slim at this point, students are never too old to put spoons under their pillows, wear PJs inside out, and flush ice cubes in hopes of bringing the white stuff. We hope everyone gets to enjoy some fun, and most of all we hope our entire D7 Family stays safe!

As always, thank you for your partnership and support!

Salute to our 8th grade athletes! We honored these students and their parents at tonight's basketball game. Their hard work and dedication has made Carver better and we're grateful.

100 facts about Carver. 100 affirmations. And a few 100-year-old educators? It's 100 Day!

District 7 schools and offices are closed today in observance of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. As we pause to serve in our community and connect with one another by making this a "day on" rather than just a day off, we are heartened by Dr. King's wise reminder that "Intelligence plus character – that is the goal of true education."

Today the Wildcats presented a check of $5000 to Hope Center for Children. Funds were raised all fall semester by students and staff via a friendly Clemson/Carolina rivalry.
