Eagle Extras is an after school enrichment program brought to you by the Irving PTO. There are two sessions throughout the school year, with different offerings each session. These fee-based activities are taught by a variety of outside organizations and instructors, and Irving teachers.
Space is limited and classes are filled on a first come first serve basis. Please register early to reserve your child’s spot in the class(es). Also please don’t hesitate to utilize the wait list option if a class is showing as full when you try to enroll. We will do our best to accommodate all interested.
Classes with an outdoor component may be canceled due to inclement weather. Please be advised that efforts will be made to make up the missed time when feasible. Refunds will not be issued.
We are not able to accommodate changes in the schedule after the registration period is over.
For those children enrolled in Eagle Extras, they will be directed to go to the auditorium at the end of the school day by their teachers (you do not need to come to the school to take them to this class) where they will wait with supervision to be picked up by their Eagle Extras teacher. We help the Kindergartners get to the auditorium the first week. Kids enrolled in the afterschool programs of Hephzibah or Oak Park Friends School can participate in Eagle Extras and just need to check in with their respective programs before going to the Eagle Extras class. For kids in other after school programs, you need to check with those programs directly to see if they can make accommodations to pick up your child once their Eagle Extra class is over.
Scholarships are available! If your child qualifies for free/reduced lunch you are eligible for one scholarship per session per child. If your child does not currently qualify for free/reduced lunch, but you have a financial hardship making it difficult to pay for a class, there are additional funds available for these circumstances as well.
Free/Reduced Lunch: If you already have qualified for free/reduced lunch, you will receive an email from Ms. Mura with a list of codes that will enable you to sign up for a class for free. While these codes you receive will work on all classes, your student is only eligible for one class per session. If you have more than one student at Irving, each student is eligible for one class per session. Please do not use the codes to enroll in more than one class per session. You will be asked to pay for additional classes.
Not qualified for Free/Reduced Lunch, but have a financial hardship? If you are in need of financial help and are not currently qualified for free/reduced lunch, please email Ms. Mura, smura@op97.org, requesting a scholarship so she can get you the assistance needed to register your child.
Payment plans! When you are registering you can elect to participate in a payment plan at no additional cost to you! Hooray!
Parent Volunteers needed! We always can use help organizing the Eagle Extras program. We have many roles available from helping behind the scenes to helping on-site at dismissal time. Please reach out to eagleextras@irvingpto.com to find out more and get involved.”

Our first PTO meeting is Thursday 9/7 at 7:30 PM and you don’t want to miss it! We are trying out a new shorter meeting structure this year, and after a few updates about what’s happening at school this fall Ms. Mura agreed to do an “Ask Me Anything!” This is a chance to ask any burning question you may have about Irving or how things are run! Feel free tune in and ask live or send me any questions I can read at the meeting. (Here or to admin@IrvingPTO.com)
