Welcome Back To Your Irving Library
Welcome back to the Irving Library!  I am looking forward to another great year. Here are some quick announcements:
  • We have a Facebook page!  Please “like” and share!  https://www.facebook.com/irvinglibraryop97
  • We have a website!  Please check it occasionally.  http://www.op97.org/irving/mediacenter/
  • Library begins Monday afternoon.  All 1st-5th grade students will check books out this week.  Kindergarten will check out their first book next week. Please help your child find a safe place for their books at home.  It helps to choose a designated space (a shelf, a table, their backpack, etc) that books stay in when they aren’t being read.  Please help us avoid losing books!  If you do lose a book you will be expected to pay for it or replace it.  
  • If you have any questions or concerns throughout the year, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
  • I look forward to seeing and meeting everyone soon!

NEW Irving Attendence Line Info

Due to the installation of our new phone system at Irving we have a new attendance number for parents to report the absences of their children.  This number will take you directly to our attendance voicemail.

The new number is 708. 665.3066.

Please call in student absences before 8:30 am each morning so that we can accurately verify student attendance.

Take care-

John

WELCOME BACK TO IRVING ELEMENTARY!!

Hello Irving Community-

I hope that everyone had a chance to enjoy the summer with their families.  We are busily preparing for the first day of school at Irving and  looking forward to seeing all of you.

The attachments below include my Welcome Back to School letter, Parent Tips, and the 2015-2016 School Supply List.

Soon you will receive a mailing from Irving, but I wanted to be sure to get this information to you in a timely manner.

First Grade Supply Drop Off
In an effort to lighten your load on the first day of school, there will be a first grade supply drop-off on Thursday, August 27th from 4:30-5:30.  We would love for our first grade families to set aside 10 minutes during that time to stop by your child’s classroom and drop off school supplies. A school supply list is posted on the school’s website. We hope to see you there!
Thank you!
– First Grade Team
