Irvington Weekly Newsletter

Happy three-day weekend, Eagles! It's been a busy beginning to our school year (thank you for your help with all the fun events!), and I hope everyone is able to get some time to relax this weekend. We look forward to seeing everyone on Monday!

Picture day is Wednesday, October 16. (Retakes will be December 5.) If you would like to order pictures, you may do so here.

Attention 5th grade families: Please read this letter for upcoming information about the lottery for middle schools and upcoming open houses.

This week and next, the district's boiler maintenance team is conducting routine maintenance on our heating system. While the temperatures look reasonable next week, the mornings can be chilly in our building. Please send your child to school in layers to ensure their comfort at the beginning of the day.

As the weather cools and coats are worn and shed daily, we wanted to remind our community about Irvington’s Lost and Found. Lost and Found is located at the bottom of the east stairwell on the cafeteria level. There you will find a rack of clothing and several bins of water bottles, lunch boxes and other odds and ends. If you need access to the lost and found during school hours, please check in with the office. After school, you can ask a school staff member to let you into the door on the east side of the blacktop. We also routinely bring the lost and found out during drop off and pick up to help reunite lost items and will announce those opportunities in this newsletter.

The first opportunity to engage on our PTA mission, vision, and values revisit will be Monday, October 14, from 1:00-2:30pm in room 109. Please come and make sure your voice is heard! If you want to be involved but cannot make the meeting, please email ptapres@irvingtonschool.com, and we'll keep you on future communications.

Please save the date for the next PTA general meeting on Monday, October 21, 5:30-7:30pm! This meeting will feature special guests Mr. Greer and Rachel Oh, the principal and PTA president of Harriet Tubman Middle School respectively. We’ll also hear a new proposal for sound panels in the cafeteria, an amendment to our 2024-2025 field trip budget, and host an engagement session on our mission, vision and values. Please plan to come!
