Online Harassment Information
This year at J.R. Irvin we have had to deal with two text messages that could have been considered online harassment. It is our belief that students today do not understand the ramifications of their actions in connection with social networking sites, text messages or e-mails. Third, fourth and fifth grade teachers will be discussing this information with the students at Irvin. This information is provided for parents to become more informed and to encourage you to talk to your children about the dangers and consequences of making threatening/harassing comments when sending such messages. Please view the detailed House Bill concerning online harassment. |

MISD Health Advisory to Parents
Due to inconsistencies in flu reporting, MISD has decided to remove the Type A flu chart from the website. An increasing number of students are reporting flu, but do not know which sub type (Type A or Type B) and there are a number of students with influenza like illness (ILI) that have not seen a doctor. MISD does not want to report inaccurate information, so it is best to remove the Type A flu chart from our webpage. More |

J.R.
Irvin Crisis Plan
In
accordance with the J. R. Irvin crisis plan,
students are being taught how to respond to
various emergencies. Throughout the remainder
of the year, students will be participating
in fire, tornado and lockdown drills. These
drills are not intended to scare your child,
but to teach the students how to respond in
case of a real emergency. If your child comes
home telling you about these drills, please
reinforce the importance of practice. A copy
of the crisis plan is available for your review
at the school. |
