Irving Families,
After several weeks of Comprehensive Distance Learning I am seeing students attending Zooms with teachers, engaging in lessons, and demonstrating learning via Seesaw and Google Classroom! I appreciate your efforts in helping your child stay engaged with everything Comprehensive Distance Learning requires.
In the past 7 days on Seesaw students have posted 2367 items, parents and teachers have commented 1000 times, and liked student work 1500 times! That’s truly amazing! We also had 362 family members visit Seesaw to see child’s work. If you have not engaged in Seesaw yet as a parent please do so. Seesaw allows parents access. All you need to do is download the Seesaw Parent App to your phone.

Irving Elementary PTO Fundraiser
The Irving PTO has decided to cancel its regular Fall Fundraiser. In lieu of the Fall Fundraiser, PTO is accepting Direct Donations. To learn more about PTO Direct Donation Drive click HERE. The PTO helps support Irving students, teachers, and families in a variety of ways including:

PTO support this year looks a little different since students are learning from home. There is still a need for fundraising as Irving’s PTO looks for new ways to support students and families.
