Q.  What do I do if it is necessary for my child to leave school early?

You will need to come into the main office with proper identification and sign your child out.

A.  We encourage all student to attend school, however, we also acknowledge that there are times when due to a fever, or injury, a student may need to stay home.  Students who have been absent need to provide a note explaining their absences. Carver Middle does not have a clinic or school nurse. Calls home will be made on behalf or students who are ill or injured while at school, as needed.
Q.  How does my child know what is considered acceptable behavior.
 
A.  Good conduct is essential to a good learning environment, and all Carver Middle School students are expected to work toward this goal. It is YOUR responsibility to be familiar with the rules for student conduct stated in the Lake County Schools Guidelines for Student Responsibilities and Rights.  The Student Code of Conduct will be reviewed by teachers and students during the first week of school.  You can expect your child to bring a copy of the Student Code of Conduct home for your review.  There is also a parent notification form that you should sign and return to Carver.
Q.  Where do I park when I come to the school?
 
A.  You should come into the school off of Red Raider Lane, which off of Griffin Road between Carver and the new Leesburg gymnasium.  Follow the driveway around to the large parking lot at the north end of the campus.  If you are coming onto the campus, remember to check in with the main office and obtain a visitor's pass.
Q.  How can I contact my child's teacher?
 
A. Getting a phone call to a teacher between classes is difficult.  We have man phones that must all share the few outgoing lines.  The best way to reach a teacher is by email.  Email addresses for al teachers and staff may be found on our staff pages.  If you want to meet with a teacher, then you should contact our Guidance Department and request a Parent / Teacher conference.

A.  No, Lake County Transportation requires that buses carry only those students assigned to that bus.

A.  Please refer to our Activities calendar for the dates of these and other events.  Remember that Carver Middle School issues Progress Reports approximately every three weeks, so you should receive 2 - 3 progress reports prior to each Report Card.
