- Carver Public Schools is using the School Status Connect communications program Districtwide for our parent/student communications which will include Athletics and Extracurriculars. The goal in using this program is to provide clear, consistent communication regarding all things for your students in one place, as opposed to having multiple apps for each of your students activities.

Student Information System
Student schedules are updated and can be accessed through the ASPEN student information system. If students have any questions or concerns with their schedule, they can reach out to their guidance counselor. The ASPEN program has a grading system that allows students and parents/guardians access to all grading information online on a regular basis as well as report cards and teacher pages. Teachers are encouraged to keep their gradebook updated bi-weekly. Parents and students will use the same login information from the previous school year; however, if you have misplaced your password, please contact our main office staff at 508-866-6130, or for middle school email Michelle Nickerson at nickersonm@carver.org and for high school email Ashley Doyle at the main offices at doylea@carver.org.

Dismissals ~ Pick Up Patrol
Our goal is to have students in attendance each day and in their academic classes as much as possible. With this in mind we do understand that students may need to be dismissed for certain appointments. All appointments should be scheduled during non-school time, whenever possible. However, when it is unavoidable that a student be dismissed, parents submit plans for changes for their student by accessing the Pick Up Patrol or by sending an email to MHSdismissals@carver.org. Pull up to door #1 and your student will be sent out upon your arrival. Parents/guardians picking their student from the nurse can go directly to door #3.
Student Parking
We will be providing our student drivers an assigned numbered spot for the school year. Students will be able to pick their spot on a first come first serve basis. Student Parking Passes can be purchased through MySchoolBucks for $50.

Students are dismissed at 2:05 p.m. If you arrive to pick-up your student prior to the 2:05 p.m. dismissal bell, please park in the parking lot by the football field/high school gym and your student will meet you in the parking lot. Parking will not be allowed in the main driveway and/or in front of the main entrance. All parents will exit onto South Meadow Road, as the Pond Street exit is used for buses and student drivers.
