• What is it like to be an Irving Student?


    Cohort Model:

    In an effort to build meaningful relationships and best support our students’ needs, our school is organized by grade/program clusters. Within each grade/program cluster, students are assigned to cohorts and travel with their cohort to most of their classes.  This school year we are planning intentional opportunities to help students bond with other members of their cohort through our bi-monthly grade level community building events.  

    Starting your day:

    Every day begins in the cafeteria.  Students are encouraged to enjoy our free breakfast options, chat with friends in their cohort, and listen to music until their 1st period teacher comes to pick them up.  

    Celebratory Activities:
     
    At the Irving we like to recognize all students for accomplishing goals related to attendance, achievement, and our core values.
