Winter Weather Information/Información del clima

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.

Please consider saving the following for Irving School:


  • Hy Vee Receipts dated 8/1/19 - 4/26/20.
  • Box Tops
  • My Coke Rewards (caps from Coke products or codes)


We use this money for field trips.

Communication and Preparedness

Student and staff safety is of paramount importance in the Sioux City Community School District. For this reason, the District exercises a host of crisis prevention and planning tactics. Should an emergency occur, the school notifies you through our Blackboard phone system. In an emergency, the system calls every phone number associated with your child in order to reach you. The message will give you details about the emergency and provide directions on when/where to pick up your child if the normal school day is altered. Learn more about school safety.

Focus 2022 Strategic Plan

The Sioux City Community School District Board of Directors spent time developing, with the input of multiple stakeholder groups, the “Definition of the Well-Educated Student.” The definition is the foundation for the Focus 2022 Strategic Plan. The definition identifies what students within the educational system will be able to do upon graduating from our district. Learn about the five goal areas of the strategic plan.
