    Carver's PTO 

    If you have a student at Carver, you are automatically a member of Carver's Parent Teacher Organization (PTO)!

    You are invited and welcome to attend any or all monthly PTO meetings! The PTO meets the first Tuesday of every month at 6:30 p.m. in the Carver Media Center. There's no better way to find out what's going on at Carver or to find out how you can be more involved in your child's education. We love to see new faces and hear new voices!  

    Thank you! We appreciate your dedication to our students and staff.
