Greetings Irving Families!
What a great last day of the 2023-2024 school year! I want to thank all of our students and staff for making this school year a success. We have so much to celebrate from academic achievements, student performances, sporting events, and beautiful student creations, our students were outstanding! This school year we saw 1225 students successfully navigate the ups, downs, and ups again of middle school with the help of over 135 staff members. I am so proud of the accomplishments of our Irving students and staff and want to thank you the parents/guardians for your support.
As we look to the summer, I want to highlight two reading programs. The first is the Fairfax County Public Libraries summer reading program - see the image above to find our more information.

The second summer reading program is sponsored by our WIMS Irving Library. Students will be able to utilize the choice board to engage in a variety of reading activities throughout the summer and then be entered into a drawing for prizes. Whether you participate in the public library or Irving program, the most important part of both is to have your child continue to read throughout the summer. These programs are fun to work through together as a family - the activities are perfect for all ages!
Lastly, during our summer break, Irving Middle School will be under partial construction and will have intermittent hours for the Main Office during construction. The dates for the project have not been determined yet, as soon as we know, we will share the dates with our families as well as pictures of the progress project.
I wish you all a safe, relaxing, and fun summer!
Take Care!
Cindy Conley
Very Proud Principal of Irving MS

Virtual Mental Wellness Consultations
This summer, the FCPS Office of Intervention and Prevention Services will offer virtual Mental Wellness Consultations from Monday, June 24, through Friday, August 2. Any FCPS parent or secondary student can schedule a 45-minute consultation with a school psychologist or social worker by phone or videoconference.
Parents of students in any grade level can request a consultation to receive guidance on how to support their child’s social, emotional, and academic success. Information about community resources will also be provided.
Middle or high school students can request a consultation to receive guidance and support for concerns related to anxiety, mood, behavior, peer or family interactions, or school transitions and changes. Strategies and tools can also be provided to address academic challenges such as organization and time management.
We encourage all families to take advantage of this service. Request a consultation or call and leave a message at 703-503-2520.
Library News
Rising 7th and 8th grade students are encouraged to participate in Irving’s Summer READ! Program throughout the summer break. Check out the promotional video here! (voice-over version of the video is also available). From the Irving website, students and parents/guardians can print out a copy of the choice board which lists 24 different reading challenges. When students complete a square of the choice board, they answer a few questions about what they read on a Google Form (https://bit.ly/WIMSSUMREAD2024). For each entry that students enter into the form, their name is entered into a raffle for $25 Barnes & Noble gift cards. Students have the opportunity to enter up to 24 times. Four gift cards will be rewarded randomly by choosing names from among the participants. A student may win only one gift card.
If over the summer you find an Irving MS library book, please drop it off in the Main Office. We would love to recover as many overdue and missing library books as possible!
