Your Views and Opinions Are Important to Us!
This spring all Irving Middle School parents/guardians will be contacted through email with a link to the FCPS Principal Evaluation Parent/Guardian Feedback Form Online. This survey is part of the Performance Evaluation Program and offers parents/guardians an opportunity to provide anonymous input about various issues related to our school. These issues include instructional leadership, school climate, human resources management, organizational management, communication and community relations and professionalism.
The survey will be collected online between March 12 and March 26. When you receive an email from FCPS Surveys, please take a few minutes to complete the survey. Your opinions matter.

Library News
SAVE THE DATE! We’re excited to announce that the Irving Library will be holding a Scholastic Book Fair April 14th through the 16th. We will have both school-day hours and evening hours. More details to come.
7th grade students are visiting the library this week to borrow books for their next English book project. Their visit includes a lesson about how to navigate the new library catalog, which can be accessed via the net from any computer: Irving’s Library Catalog
Because of their English projects, both 7th and 8th grade students should have books to read in their daily “Take Ten” reading time. How about taking ten minutes at home to talk to your child about what they’re reading.
