IPSF PATS Support- You may have recently seen Irvine Public Schools Foundation’s announcement of their 2024 Innovative Grants Program awards. These grants have the power to bring amazing ideas to life and continue to keep our school and district on the leading edge of innovative teaching and learning!The Innovative Grants Program is made possible by IPSF thanks to the support of parents like you. Donations to the Parents Appreciating Teachers and Staff (PATS) campaign directly support teacher grants. PATS is also a meaningful way to show our IUSD Virtual Academy Middle & High teachers, nurses, and staff how much you appreciate all that they do! When you recognize teachers and staff with PATS, they will receive your family’s personal message along with recognition of a PATS donation made to IPSF in their honor. To support the PATS campaign and make a donation in honor of a teacher or staff member, please visit: www.ipsf.net/pats. Thank you for your support and appreciation of our school, our classrooms, and our teachers!
