Carver Middle School -

Yesterday our 8th graders visited Spartanburg High School in preparation to become Vikings. They heard from Dr. McMillan about the importance of being successful in their Freshman Year and the increased opportunities available to them next year. They were also able to tour the facility and hear from SHS Student Leaders. #D7isgoingforgreat

District 7 will operate on a two-hour delay on Monday, January 13. Our safety team spent the day assessing road conditions, and found many icy patches persist on back roads. These conditions could create a safety risk for our buses, student drivers, and staff traveling in those areas. A two-hour delay will allow daylight to improve visibility and temperatures time to rise.    Two-Hour Delay Times:   A two-hour delay means everything shifts back two hours from its normal time. For example, if your bus normally arrives at 6:30 AM, it should arrive at approximately 8:30 AM. The tardy bell for each school will be exactly two hours later than that school’s tardy bell on a regular school day.  Thank you for your patience and understanding, as safety is always our top priority.

While we're waiting on the snow . . . Make sure your prepare to support our basketball teams at their theme nights beginning this upcoming week!

Teachers will communicate details regarding e-Learning assignments during the school day today and additional information about District 7’s e-Learning guidelines can be found at at spartanburg7.org/eLearning. Thank you for your understanding, as safety is always our top priority. We hope our D7 Family has the opportunity to enjoy some time in the snow. Stay safe and have fun!
