Do you have a strong interest in what’s going on at Irving? Would you like to help guide the activities that take place and give input on how resources are allocated? Have you thought about joining the PTO Executive Board? You should!

We have 3 PTO Executive Board postions coming open at the end of this school year: Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer. Terms are for 2 years beginning May 23, 2013. The time commitment varies depending on the role, but it’s generally minimal. PTO board meetings are once a month during the school year and times vary to fit schedules. Most activity occurs via email, where board members weigh in on whatever issue is at hand.

Take a look at our current By-Laws and the About Us page on our website.

Please join us in giving a huge round of applause to our outgoing board members: Tom Purrenhage, Bharathi Jayaram and Barbara Hoffman!

Nominations for new board members will be made at the April 4 general meeting, and voting will take place at the May 2 general meeting. Nominations may also be made at the May 2 meeting. Nominations may be done in person or in writing from now until May 2. You may nominate yourself or another person.

If you’re interested in learning more about a certain position or making a nomination, please email Laura Crawford (lauracrawford47@gmail.com) or any of the others listed on the About Us page.

Thanks for your consideration of this fun, and important, volunteer position!

The Children’s Clinic of Oak Park will be providing FREE dental care to ALL Irving Students on April 10th , 11th and 12th. Care will be delivered during the school day and will include a dental cleaning, dental exam and application of sealants if needed.

Please look for the consent form in your child’s folder and return the consent by April 5th, 2013 if you would like your child to participate in the program. Or click here to download the consent form.

The classroom with the highest number of returned consent forms will win a prize. This is a wonderful community health service provided by an organization dedicated to the health and well being of children and families.

Feel free to call Nurse Jamie with any questions or concerns about the program at 708-524-3089.

We hope you can join us for the March PTO meeting, which is this week on Thursday, March 7 at 6:30 in the Library/Media Center on the second floor. As always, free child care is provided.

We hope to see you there. If you are unable to attend and would like to discuss anything on the agenda, please contact Laura Crawford at lauracrawford47@gmail.com, Jodie Ackerman at jodiepto@yahoo.com, or any of the other PTO board members (click here for contact info).
