Greetings, Irving Families!

As we head into Spring Break, I want to take a minute to share that we want everyone to take the break - our students and staff. With that in mind, please know that students do not have homework over the break and there will not be any quizzes, tests, or assignments due the first 2 days back after break. Our Main Office will be closed next week and will reopen on Wednesday, April 3. Our teachers are also on break next week and I have asked that they not check their emails and truly take a break. 

When students return to school, they will be starting the 4th quarter! So you are aware, the SIS ParentVue and StudentVue gradebooks will not be available during the 3rd Quarter grading period, which runs from March 22, 2024 - April 15, 2024. 

Returning to the start of the 4th quarter, also means we are approaching state assessments. Below are the dates of our state Standards of Learning (SOL) tests. Please try to avoid making appointments on the dates below so students can take the assessments on the dates assigned. We will be celebrating a Stress Less week the week of April 29-May 3, and will share more details about the week soon.

I wish you all a safe and relaxing Spring Break!

Take Care!

Irving Stays After - After School Program Registration

The After School program at Irving Middle School provides students access to high-quality activities in a safe environment for all students. The Program strives to improve academic performance, foster social, emotional, and physical well-being, all while reducing the potential for risk-taking behaviors.

Volleyball Clinic, athletic attire (including your shoes) and registering via the weekly sign-up are required. Volleyball is extremely popular, please use the weekly sign-up when you plan to stay after school. This is the last week of Volleyball Clinic, thanks to Coach Noriega, her coaching staff and WSHS Varsity & JV volunteers.


Library News

Thanks to those who have sent in some puzzles.  The students are truly enjoying the puzzles and are definitely up to challenges the puzzles provide. 

We plan to send out overdue notices just before students return to school on April 3rd.  Please help your student locate the books, so they can return overdue library books when they return to school.

Ms. Monk & Mr. Brizek
