August 16, 2019Dear Parents,Welcome back to Carver Heights Elementary, home of the Mighty Eagles! Our entire team has been working hard to build an environment that is safe, warm, and academically rich for your child. This year, we are focused on “Building a Culture of Excellence” which will allow all students to thrive and reach their fullest potential. We are fine tuning some things, as well as putting in place new initiatives, ideas, and educational models for our students. A few of the new things you will notice this year are: Our brand new reading curriculum American Reading Company (ARC). We commonly refer to the reading curriculum as ARC. This program will help our students and teachers increase rigor in their classroom instruction. We invite you to talk to your child in the coming weeks about this new reading approach. Carver Heights Elementary used our School Improvement money to purchase each student an Agenda. These agendas will assist with two-way communication between teachers and parents. Each page has a section for parent-teacher communication and for students to record their homework. Agendas are $5 if lost or misplaced.Along with academics, we are working hard to build a culture that will allow our students’ voices to be heard through restorative practice. Restorative Practice allows the use of circles and formal conferencing to allow the voices of all students to be heard. In the event of challenging behavior, your child may be asked the following questions to help us gain a better understanding of their thoughts and actions:What happened? What were you thinking at the time?What have you thought about since?Who has been affected by what you have done?What do you think you need to do to make things right? If harm was done: What did you think when you realized what had happened? What impact has this incident had on you and others?What has been the hardest thing for you? What do you think needs to happen to make things right?We have been working really hard to begin the steps of “Building a Culture of Excellence”. Communication is one of our primary goals for the 2019-2020 school year. Therefore, below are a couple of reminders that are extremely important to the day-to-day operation of our school. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns. School starts at 8:30.
