The first of day of school is always an exciting time. A new backpack, those first-day clothes. It is a reunion of friendships. It is the joy of seeing a former teacher, and the eagerness to meet a new one. For our youngest learners, everything is all so new. Pin numbers and learning how to open a milk carton. For our seniors in high school, everything is all so familiar. But at the same point, a new journey is on the horizon. We hope everyone has had a great start to the school year! You belong here in Eastern Carver County Schools!

Happening at Eastern Carver
If you drove by the Chaska Middle School East and West buildings this summer, you likely witnessed a flurry of activity. Major projects at both schools, as well as repaving of the parking lots and roadway between buildings. While not everything was ready to go by the start of this school year, the work in both buildings over the summer has students and staff excited.
