World Language Program registration deadline is October 29th, 2013
(not october 19th as typed on the previous registration form)
The World Language Program at Irving School is an introduction to different languages and cultures.  In these classes, students will learn basic communication vocabulary. The relaxed class environment will help students overcome their apprehension to speak a foreign language. Language skills will grow over years of instruction.
For 2013-2014, the World Language Program offers 8 languages: Swahili, Polish, Greek, French, German, Italian, Mandarin and Spanish. Some classes will run for 1 hour every week while other will be 1/2 hour, twice a week (see on the back of the form). Due to the new lunchtime schedule, we are not able to offer every language to every grade. If you cannot register your child in the language you want please write a comment at the end of this form.
The World Language Program is completely independent, funded solely by tuition paid by families of participating children. World Languages are sponsored by the PTO, endorsed by the School Board, and encouraged by the staff and principal of Irving School.

Irving Book Fair Update
We just wanted to thank everyone on behalf of the Irving Book Fair!  Your purchases have earned us over $4000 dollars so far this sale for our school library.  Over 74 books were purchased from our teachers’ wish lists to help expand their classroom libraries.
The physical book sale is over, but our online Irving Book Fair continues until October 30th, with a much larger catalog of books to choose from!  All books will be shipped free of charge to the school when the sale is done, and we will deliver them to the classrooms.  It’s a great way to get some holiday shopping done or find a book that you didn’t see at the sale.  Profits from the online sale get added to our physical sale’s total, allowing us to earn some growth bonuses and earn more money for our library!
You can access our online book fair at:
Thank you so much for helping support our school library and build your child’s literacy skills!
