IUSD Annual Survey
Our district’s Annual Survey will open at 8am on January 3rd and will close on January 24. Please take a moment to complete this important survey.  Your responses are critical in providing feedback about school climate and where resources are focused through the Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) process. This interactive process helps IUSD identify annual goals, take action on those goals, and measure progress on academic achievement, school climate, and parent engagement as part of the 10-month LCAP process.

Irvine Junior Games
Promotional Video
The Irvine Children's Fund (ICF) is announcing the kick off and celebration of the 33rd ANNUAL IRVINE JUNIOR GAMES (IJG), which will be held on Sunday, May 15, 2022, at the Irvine High School Stadium.

Through the Irvine Junior Games, grants, corporate and personal sponsorships, the Irvine Children’s Fund is proud to have donated over 3.2 million dollars toward childcare scholarships, maintenance and expansion of childcare facilities, completed the ADA upgrades at 7 child care sites, provided grants for instruction, athletic equipment, activities and supplies to the childcare sites.  For 2021-2022, ICF has committed $80,000 for Before and After School Child Care Scholarships on the child care sites.

The Irvine Junior Games celebrates its 33rd year, and its continued growth and success because of the partnership between the IUSD, the Irvine Child Care Project, the Irvine Children's Fund, and the Irvine Junior Games.  There continues to be 100% participation from all the elementary and middle schools with more than 1,200 students in grades 4-8 participating in the track and field events, including special events for the Adaptive P.E. students.
As this is a fundraising event for child care at Irvine school sites there will be a $40 charge to each participating athlete, which will include the athlete's participation and an IJG T-shirt. See the website for details about events students can participate in.
