8th Grade Dance - Friday, June 7 - 6:00-8:00 pm
Please note the 8th grade dance is NOT a formal event. We will have signs around the building regarding what is and is not appropriate to wear. In the past, students have worn a pair of slacks and collared shirt or a skirt/blouse or dress, again NO formal attire or high heels are required for this dance (often high heels are taken off within about 10 minutes of arriving…). Also, students often attend in groups, so having a “date” is NOT a requirement to attend. The purpose of this dance is to have fun and celebrate our 8th grade students' accomplishments before they head out for the summer and on to high school. Only 8th grade students attending Irving Middle School may attend the dance.
Attention Parents! The 8th grade dance is on Friday, June 7th from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM. We are in need of chaperones and light refreshments for the dance. Please see the sign ups below volunteer. Thank you in advance for your help! If you have questions, please email Emily Geary (emgeary@fcps.edu)

Fairfax County Public Library will visit with Irving English classes on June 11th!
Librarians from the Fairfax County Public Library will be visiting Irving English classes on June 11th to teach students how to set up and access public library eBooks. Using eBooks through the public library is one way students can access a variety of books for their summer reading assignments, for free! These eBooks can be accessed through the FCPL Libby App from a phone, Kindle, Nook, or other device.
If you would like your student to use your pre-existing library account, please make sure that your child has both the account number and the password on that day.
Students who do not already have a public library card will be able to get one. On Monday, June 3, your child will be given a library card form to complete and return by Wednesday, June 5. Students will receive their cards on the 11th. An electronic version of the form is attached. If you would not like your child to get a library card, please contact your child’s English teacher.
Note that younger siblings may also get library cards using a copy of the same form.
If you have any questions, please contact Mary Ann Monk (mamonk1@fcps.edu).

Clinic Reminder
The school clinic is reminding parents and guardians that all medication stored in the clinic must be picked up no later than the student dismissal time on the last day of school. Medication left in the clinic after that time will be discarded. It is school policy that medications must be picked up by the parent or guardian. Medication cannot be sent home with your student.
Summer Camps & Opportunities

Lost and Found Items
Irving’s Lost and Found is on display for all students to check during their lunch period. At the end of every month we wash and donate all clothing, lunchboxes, and water bottles. If your child has lost an item, please advise them to check for it during lunch. We will make announcements the week up to donation day to remind students to claim their belongings. If you would like to inquire about an item, please email bekirtner@fcps.edu
Library News
The end of the year is drawing near. As that comes, we need to start alerting students about what library books they need to return. Beginning this week, students will receive weekly updates, through their English classes about what items they have on loan. Hopefully most of these things will be returned before I start sending text alerts to parents in the last week of school! Please ask your child if there are things that need to be returned to the library, and help remind them to drop them off.
As summer is around the corner, we’re excited to recommend summer reading titles to anyone who drops by (students or parents!)
Thank you!
Mary Ann Monk & Diane Gawalt, Librarians
