Student Item Pickup and School Item Return
While we tried our very best to make sure everything was accounted for while cleaning out over 2000 lockers, it seems there are some items that may have been misplaced. If you were the recipient of a tan coat, a red bag, a set of locker shelves, a Ravenclaw scarf, or a knee brace that did not belong to you, please email Cindy Conley - caconley1@fcps.edu.
Also - if you did not pick up your items during Locker Item pick up OR you have school items to return please also email Cindy Conley - caconley1@fcps.edu and we will arrange a day and time to meet up at school. All items left after June 26 will be recycled, donated, and/or placed in the trash.
Irving MS’ Summer READ! Program
We invite all rising 7th and 8th grade students to participate in Irving MS’s Summer READ! Program.
Here’s how you can participate:
- Click on the READ! Choice Board and choose a challenge that appeals to you.
- Complete the READ! Challenge.
- Write a short reflection about what you read on this Google Form.
- Repeat Steps 1-3! 😊
For every READ! Choice Board challenge that you finish and write about in the Google Form, your name is entered into a raffle. The more things you read, the more entries you have to win prizes. Prizes will be distributed and grade-level top readers will be announced at the beginning of the 2020-2021 school year. The READ! Program runs from June 12, 2020 until August 24th, 2020.
If you have questions about the READ! Choice Board options, or need recommendations for book titles, please email both Irving MS librarians: (Ms. Monk) mamonk1@fcps.edu and (Mrs. Gawalt) dlgawalt@fcps.edu We will try to respond quickly to your questions, even throughout the summer months.
Please remember that you have several options for obtaining reading material during the summer.
- The Fairfax County Public Library branches are allowing users to place books on hold and then drive by for curbside pick-up when the books are ready.
- Additionally, ebooks and audiobooks are available to all FCPS students through the Mackinvia.com website. Here are complete instructions for accessing digital resources through Mackinvia.
- You may choose to purchase some titles or swap books (safely) with friends.
