A note from Principal Abrahamson
Dear Carver Families,
We are currently wrapping up MCA testing. Next week, our 5th grade students will complete their MCA science state tests. The students worked very hard and did an amazing job of going slow, staying focused, and doing their best. The entire building chipped in to make sure the school was quiet for testing and the lower grades supported our testers by making cards and posters for encouragement. It was truly an all school effort!
SAVE THE DATE- We are happy that COVID restrictions have loosened. Carver is SO excited to again be able to host our end of the year Picnic. It will be on Thursday, May 26th. Please note that grade level lunch times have been changed and they will not be eating at the same time they usually do. See info below. We will be adding some fun games, an art station, and time for people to just be together.
- Tuesday, May 23rd- 5th grade Moving Up Ceremony
- Wednesday, May 25th- Kindergarten Graduation
- No School Friday, May 27th- staff development day
- No School Monday, May 30th- Memorial Day
- Thursday, June 2nd- last day of school for students
We can’t believe how fast this year has gone by!
Warm Regards,
Gena Abrahamson

Principal Abrahamson's Message of Resignation
April 22, 2022
Dear Carver Families,
I am writing to share some news with you. After careful thought and consideration, I have made the difficult decision to resign as the Principal of Carver Elementary School at the conclusion of this school year. Carver and District 622 have been my home for 24 years, and I will surely miss all of Carver's students, families, and staff.
Superintendent Tucci Osorio will be posting the position soon. On top of the new beautiful facilities, Carver's history of beating the odds will attract many qualified candidates for this position. The district will keep everyone informed of the progress of finding a replacement for the position.
Thank you for your support over the years and for supporting the students at Carver Elementary.
Sincerely,
Gena Abrahamson
Principal
Carver Elementary School
