Welcome to a new school year! Whether your family is brand new to Carver or you've been part of our community for years, we're so glad you're here.

I'm Jessica Couillard, PTO President and mom to a 2nd and 4th grader at Carver. This year, we're especially focused on building an even stronger Carver community. We hope to create opportunities for families to connect, support our incredible teachers and staff, and help make Carver a place where our kids and families feel like they belong.

There are lots of fun things ahead, and we hope you'll find ways to connect with us throughout the year-  whether that's attending an event, volunteering when it works for you, or simply staying in the loop.

Here's to a great year at Carver!

Jessica Couillard
Carver Elementary PTO President

Join us in person or virtually for our FIRST PTO meeting of the school year September 14th at 7pm. Learn more about Picnic and Bingo, our annual fundraiser, staff appreciation events and more! 

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 Meets or in the school cafeteria. We look forward to visiting with you.

We're excited to share a new option for spirit wear for the 2026-27 school year!

This year, the Carver Elementary PTO is partnering with Biography Apparel, a locally owned business based in Chaska, to provide our apparel. We're excited to support a local business while also giving families more flexibility in choosing apparel you'll enjoy wearing throughout the year. 

Items are available YEAR ROUND for store pickup or shipping to make shopping easer. Check out the FUN new options at our online store: Carver Elementary Spirit Store – Biography Apparel 

One style of T-shit and sweatshirt will be available in both adult and youth sizes at Connect and Assess.

We would like to extend our thanks to all of the families who ordered SPROUT school supply kits this year! Thanks to your support, we were able to earn one free supply kit for our staff and bring more than $200 back to our school.
