Dear Carver Elementary Families,


I hope you had a wonderful summer and are feeling ready (or at least getting ready!) for the 2025–2026 school year. I’m Jessica Couillard, and I’m excited to be starting my second year as President of the Carver Elementary PTO.


Over the past year, our PTO has been working hard to create fun, meaningful ways to support our school and bring our community together. As we head into a new year, we’re continuing that work—with a focus on helping families stay connected and in the know about all the great things happening at Carver.


We know the start of the school year can feel a little overwhelming, and that not everyone has extra time to spare—and that’s totally okay. Our goal is simply to help you feel included, informed, and part of the Carver community, in whatever way works best for you.


Thanks for being part of what makes Carver such a warm and welcoming community. We’re really looking forward to another great year together!


Warmly,

Jessica Couillard

President, Carver Elementary PTO

Join us in person or virtually for our September PTO meeting to learn more about what's planned for the upcoming school year. 

Sit back and listen or contribute ideas and feedback. Attending a meeting is always commitment-free, we hope all parents feel welcome to attend and kids are always welcome. 

Join us on Google Meet or in the school cafeteria. We look forward to visiting with you.

🎉Show Your Coyote Pride!

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our table during Connect & Assess—many of you are now proud new owners of our Carver spiritwear! 🎉 If you didn’t get a chance (or are already ready for more), we’ll have additional t-shirts and sweatshirts available for in-person purchase during October conferences.

Looking for more options, including adult sizes? Our online spiritwear shop is open now through September 8. Don’t miss out—the shop will close after that date!
