Pick Up/Drop Off - Last Call - Wednesday, June 24 - 9:00 am - 1:00 pm
If you have anything to drop off (library books, text books, instruments, laptops that will not be used for summer school) please stop by out front and drop it off.
If you were unable to pick up your items, this will be the last day to pick them up. An email will be sent directly to families who still have belongings to pick up.
Lost and Found - all lost and found items will be laid out for parents to review at tables outside of school on Wednesday, June 24. Please wear a mask if you decide to look for lost items and keep a distance of 6 feet from others viewing items. We will have hand sanitizer for use prior to entering the lost and found area.
Missing Items
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.
Summer Continued Learning
Students currently in grades 7-8 will receive both a Mathematics and Language Arts Essentials Summer Practice Book in the mail by the end of June; digital versions of the books will also be posted on the Continuity of Learning Blackboard page. Students will receive a mathematics book based on the level of mathematics they took during the 2019-2020 school year.
To support student learning from June 29 to July 31, there will be one hour per week of office hours available for each course. Office hours will be with one of our own outstanding staff members and are intended to support students with the Mathematics Essentials Summer Practice Book, the Language Arts Essentials Summer Practice Book, and the English Language Development Summer Practice Book. Attendance is recommended. Students must sign up HERE for Office Hours in order to receive a link to meet with a content teacher.

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.
Looking for something for your child to read or listen to? We have updated our selection with new titles! Click below for information on accessing free ebooks and audiobooks and for a listing of the Irving librarians’ office hours:
