Carver Middle School -

Preparation! Carver teachers are wrapping up 3 days of preparation for our school year. Teachers prepared to teach with high expectations and how to assess those expectations. Teachers learned more about trauma and resilience from our guest speaker Dr. Melissa Sadin. Teachers reflected deeply on how to model resilience to our students and how to help them be resilient. Our teachers also thought about to reach every student and learned additional resources and tools to reach every student. #OurStory #OurVoice #OurExcellence

School attendance is vitally important and every day counts. To help you stay on track, we’ve attached the official 2025–2026 District 7 Academic Calendar. Let’s work together to protect valuable learning time! We look forward to welcoming your Wildcat for the first day of school on August 11th! https://www.spartanburg7.org/d7academiccalendar

We love to see hard work and improvement in the summer! Today wrestlers from Carver, McCracken, and the Viking 7 Youth Wrestling wrapped up 3 days of summer grappling. Today they learned from 5A State Qualifier and former Wildcat, BJ Sanders. Thanks to Coach Sowell and Coach Heard for making this happen for these athletes. #OurStory #OurVoice #OurExcellence

The summer growth of our cheerleaders continues! Today they completed a camp with instructors from the Universal Cheer Association (UCA)! They learned new skills and grew closer as a team. These cheerleaders and their coaches are such a hardworking group! #OurStory #OurVoice #OurExcellence

Transformative experiences and partnerships! Big congratulations are in order for Ryan Hicks and Jesus Correa Sandoval. These two students just completed a week long Summer Welding Camp. This hands-on experience provided students with practical skills and a deeper understanding of welding fundamentals. We are proud of their hard work and dedication throughout the week! This Welding Camp was provided by Daniel Morgan Technology Center and sponsored by Harbor Freight. Carver thanks both of these partners for providing opportunities for our Wildcats! #OurStory #OurVoice #OurExcellence

A group of our student leaders were able to have a magical experience this summer. 6 students participated in the BOLT Leadership Program hosted as Disney World. They engaged in leadership development along with other students from across the nation. And of course they were able to enjoy Disney World. We thank former Carver student, Justin Fox, for continually reaching back to provide opportunities for our Wildcats. We also thank our faculty chaperones, Dr. James Byers and Dr. Amy Waddell. #OurStory #OurVoice #OurExcellence

As we celebrate and enjoy time spent with loved ones this 4th of July, we honor the values that unite us as a community and nation. Together, let's continue to strive for a future where knowledge, understanding, and compassion prevail. Wishing everyone a safe and joyous Independence Day!

📚☀️ Paws-itively the Best Summer Ever! 🐾 Summer enrichment across D7 — including Summer School and Summer Reading Camp — is in full swing, and it’s not just our students who are loving it! From diving into books to exploring arts integration, students are building new skills and growing their love of learning. And thanks to our amazing friends at the Spartanburg Humane Society, even our furry friends are getting in on the fun! Like Bullet, a true inspiration. After surviving a traumatic injury, he now rolls through life with courage and wheels — and rolled right into our hearts during Summer Reading Camp! He’s already a pro, bringing smiles and encouragement to every classroom he visits. 🐾 A big THANK YOU to the Spartanburg Humane Society for this meaningful partnership — and to all the guest readers helping our students stay sharp, curious, and connected this summer. 📖💛

District 7 schools and offices will be closed in observance of Juneteenth on Thursday, June 19. Juneteenth commemorates the journey towards freedom and equality that we continue to travel today. It reminds us of the progress we have made, and also that this work is ongoing. It calls us to seek understanding of our differences and of the experiences that shape our unique perspectives. We honor this important holiday as we continually work to inspire and equip our students for meaningful lives of leadership and service as world citizens.

District 7 extends a warm invitation to families in Spartanburg to participate in our summer meal program for 2025. We're providing free individual meals served at various community sites and as part of summer school and other structured programs at our school sites. Please note that meals must be enjoyed on-site, per Federal program regulations. While our school sites are exclusively serving enrolled summer school students, some community sites are open to anyone aged 18 and under. This initiative is made possible thanks to the United States Department of Agriculture's Summer Meals Program. Find out more and check the schedule on our website: [https://www.spartanburg7.org/summermeals].
