When our 8th graders visit Daniel Morgan Technology Center, their eyes are always opened to new career opportunities that they can begin training for as soon as they enter high school. Did you know that Daniel Morgan has increased their offerings to include training for a commercial drivers license! We want our students to live with purposeful work and wages where they can provide for themselves and their future families. These career offerings certainly are a pathway to that.

Do you think frogs have the same digestive system as humans? Why or why not?
This is one of many inquiry based questions our 6th grade students are answering in science as they explore the systems of the body. In Dr. Lockamy's class they had the opportunity to virtually dissect a frog and find out the answer for themselves!

As we celebrate Black History Month we're asking our students to do two things. First, think about what inspires them from Black History and make it come to life in their own way! Poetry, Spoken Word, Song, Visual Art, Poster, Essay, Book Cover, Tik Tok, Podcast, Commercial, Social Media Post, Interview etc. We've already had a number of submissions such as this beautiful poster by 6th grader Skiilar Oliver! Encourage your child to submit something that may get highlighted as well!
Second, we love to continue to share the great legacy and history of Carver and this community! We have some great plans to explore more of our local history as well. Stay tuned!

Friday, March 6, 2026 Announced as In-Person Student Makeup Day
Spartanburg District 7 is announcing an update to its academic calendar to account for the instructional day missed on February 3, 2026 due to snow and ice. Schools were closed with no eLearning on February 3 because District 7 had already reached the maximum of five eLearning Days allowed by the State Department of Education each school year. Therefore, students will attend school on Friday, March 6 to make up this missed day.
State law requires school districts to designate at least three makeup days in their academic calendars each year. March 6 is one of District 7’s designated makeup days, as indicated on our academic calendar when it was released last year.
We understand schedule changes can be inconvenient, and we appreciate your flexibility and understanding as we work to ensure we meet all instructional time requirements for our students.
Thank you for your continued support of District Seven schools!
Help us congratulate 7th grader, Emily Allen Entsuah, on making All Region Band!! Our band program has been on fire in recent years and the growth is visible from earning a Superior with Distinction at Concert Festival and now sending a student to Region Band! Emily is the first student from Carver to be selected since 2018! We're so proud of her and she is only paving the way for more Wildcats to shine!

UPDATE FOR THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 5: Schools on Regular Schedule
It was wonderful to see our schools full of life again today!
For tomorrow (Thursday), D7 schools will operate on regular schedule.
Temperatures have remained above freezing for more than 24 hours and this trend is expected to continue overnight and through tomorrow.
We have identified only a few roads that buses may be unable to travel safely, so impacted families will be contacted directly by our D7 Transportation Team this evening with an alternate pickup location.
Enjoy the rest of this week and SHINE on, D7!
Help us celebrate our counselors who work and advocate constantly on behalf of our students! Their work is deeply important to bringing all the magic together, ensuring our students are well, and moving our mission and vision forward! Show these great servants some love!

Free measles clinic offered Friday
WEATHER UPDATE FOR FEBRUARY 4: Two-Hour Delay
After carefully evaluating conditions today, we are pleased to share that warmer temperatures helped clear primary and secondary roads a great deal over the last 24 hours. Additionally, temperatures are expected to remain well above freezing overnight and into tomorrow.
Therefore, D7 will operate on a two-hour delay for Wednesday, February 4. Bus schedules and morning drop-off times will occur exactly two hours later than usual.
This delay will help school buses, staff, parents, and student drivers travel more safely to school and will provide additional daylight to improve visibility on roadways. We urge families to ensure student drivers take extra caution while traveling. As always, the safety of our students and staff is our top priority.
Buses will not run on specific icy roads that continue to pose safety concerns. If your family’s route is impacted, you will receive an alternate pickup location before 6 PM via a phone call, email, and text message from our D7 Transportation Team. If you are not contacted, your bus pickup location will be the same as usual.
Our students have missed a great deal of instruction time over the last week-and-a-half, and we are thrilled to get back to learning and growing TOGETHER as a D7 Family.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support. We look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow!
