We will be distributing fundraiser prizes immediately after the meeting. Feel free to stay and help! 

WOW!!! What an Amazing Fundraiser Kickoff!

In just over 24 hours, our students have already raised 25% of our goal. Way to go, Coyotes—keep on reading! 📚✨

We can’t wait to celebrate the first week’s winning classes on Monday. Individual prizes will be delivered to homeroom teachers on Friday, 9/26, and Monday, 9/29. Please be patient as it may take a day or so for them to make their way into backpacks.

The Coyote with the first donation in each of the 50 states will be called down to color in that state on our map. Let's see if we can fill it with color! 

Want to join the fun? 🐾 If you would like to help distribute prizes check here---it's a fun way to spread joy! 

Spiritwear Pop-Up at Conferences

Show your Coyote pride! Spiritwear is re-stocked and will be available for purchase during Parent/Teacher Conferences on Oct. 23 and Oct. 30. Stop by our table to check out popular items for kids and adults.

And keep an eye out — we may even have a few new giftable surprises perfect for the upcoming holiday season!

👓👂 Volunteers Needed: Vision & Hearing Screenings

Each year, our school provides vision and hearing screenings for students in Kindergarten, 1st, 3rd, and 5th grade. This year’s screenings will take place on Thursday, Oct. 23 and Friday, Oct. 24.

We need volunteer help to keep things running smoothly—escorting students to and from classrooms, helping in the screening area, and keeping the flow on track.

If you’re able to help, please sign up here: Vision & Hearing Volunteers

Thank you for helping make this important service efficient and stress-free for our students!

Don’t Miss Out on the Yearbook Discount!

Did you know Carver has its very own yearbook? Thanks to two amazing parents who collect photos and stories all year long, we’re able to create a special memory book for our students. Kids absolutely love getting their yearbooks at the end of the year - it’s always a highlight!

Yearbooks are available to purchase through mid-April, but here’s the good news: if you order by October 31, you’ll get a 10% discount (the only discount of the year!).

Keep Your Info Up To Date!

Each school year, please log in to the PTO website to update your child’s teacher information. This ensures the student directory is as useful as possible and that you receive all the latest PTO communications.

Staying connected is commitment-free—and it’s the easiest way to stay in the loop on Carver Elementary events, find classmates in the student directory, and check out teachers’ favorite things!
