Welcome Back!

Welcome to a brand new school year at George Washington Carver! I hope you had a restful, safe, and enjoyable summer. As we step into this new academic journey together, I want to take a moment to say how excited we are to have each of you back in our halls, classrooms, and community.

This year, we remain committed to providing a safe, engaging, and rigorous learning environment where every student is supported, challenged, and encouraged to grow. Our focus will continue to be on academic excellence, student leadership, character development, and strong partnerships between home and school.

At GWC, we believe every child can succeed when given the right tools, encouragement, and opportunities. Our amazing teachers and staff have been preparing to welcome our students with open arms and high expectations. We will continue to build on the gains we made last year and work together to achieve even greater success in 2025.

Here are a few important reminders as we begin:

  • First Day of School: August 13, 2025

  • School Hours: 7:45AM-3:30PM

  • Dress Code & Attendance Policies: Please review our updated guidelines.
  • New device policy: no smart devices .

Communication, consistency, and community are key to our success. We encourage parents to stay involved, reach out with questions, and take an active role in your child’s education.

Let’s make this year the best one yet!

With gratitude and great expectation,

James Demery
