Message from the Principal

At school, we have been learning a lot. At Irving, we work to make sure our students continue to achieve academically as well as learn about our sociocultural ties. I am very proud of the students and teachers who have taken the time to learn about the Lunar New Year and have done activities and lessons to recognize the contributions made by the Black community in our country. We want to make sure our students learn about what unites us and what is unique and wonderful about our history. This month we will continue to learn about how women and women of color have impacted this great nation. I look forward to sharing with you some of the lessons learned.

The school has given each 5th grader a letter that states which school they will attend as 6th graders. Should you have any questions, please call the school.

I would like to take this opportunity to let you know that at the end of this month, we will have kindergarten registration. If you have a child that will turn 5 on or before September 15th, 2021, please call the school so we can get all of the information. If you scan the QR above it will take you to the district's website where you will find all of the information you need and you will have access to complete all documentation before the Kindergarten Registration at Irving.

The Sioux City Community School District has sent parents and guardians a link to a survey as they look forward to learning from you regarding the Return To Learn Plan. I have added the link to the survey below so you can give them your feedback.

Thank you!

Winter Weather Information

With cold weather upon us, it’s important to plan for inclement weather. Please ensure your child is dressed appropriately for the colder weather. Suggested apparel includes a warm coat, hat, scarf and gloves. If a student needs access to these cold weather apparel items, please contact the school office.

Even during the winter season, the District allows recess and outdoor activities to continue as usual. However, if a student does not have appropriate winter clothing, a school official may ask a student to remain inside.

When the atmosphere reaches a temperature that feels like 15 degrees or less, then all students are kept inside for recess/activities. The “feel” of the temperature is determined based on the National Weather Service’s report.

Thank you for helping us keep students safe and warm this season.

Información del Clima Invernal

Con el clima frío sobre nosotros, es importante planificar las inclemencias del tiempo. Asegúrese de que su hijo esté vestido apropiadamente para el clima más frío. La ropa sugerida incluye un abrigo cálido, gorro, bufanda y guantes. Si un estudiante necesita alguno de estos artículos de ropa para el clima frío, comuníquese con la oficina de la escuela.

Incluso durante la temporada de invierno, el Distrito permite que el recreo y las actividades al aire libre continúen como de costumbre. Sin embargo, si un estudiante no tiene la ropa de invierno adecuada, un funcionario de la escuela puede pedirle que permanezca adentro.

Cuando la atmósfera alcanza una temperatura que se siente como 15 grados o menos, entonces todos los estudiantes se mantienen adentro para el recreo/actividades. La "sensación" de la temperatura se determina según el informe del Servicio Meteorológico Nacional.

Gracias por ayudarnos a mantener a los estudiantes seguros y cálidos esta temporada.
