It was another busy week at Irvin, but we still made time to celebrate some great moments! Our Spelling Bee representative proudly competed in the district Spelling Bee and represented W.M. Irvin exceptionally well. We’re so proud! 🐝📚

We also celebrated a student who earned a positive referral—we love seeing our Eagles lead by example and make positive choices throughout the school.

This will be a short week, with no school tomorrow as we observe Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Please note that Friday is an Early Release Day, with dismissal beginning at 12:00 PM. Be sure to communicate any transportation changes early that day.

We are collecting paper towel and clean toilet paper rolls for an upcoming STEM-focused week! A collection bin will be placed outside the Robotics Classroom!

STEM Builds the Future: 1 Can at a Time

We are excited to partner with 1Can and the Cabarrus County Education Foundation (CCEF) for an upcoming Canned Food Art Challenge. Families are invited to donate canned goods that students will use to create collaborative art designs. Once the challenge is complete, all donated cans will be given to 1Can, who will distribute them to local food banks and people in need. This is a meaningful way for students to combine creativity, teamwork, and service while supporting families in our community. Thank you for helping us make a positive impact!

Dear Families,

This week, our school community will focus on the character strength of Perseverance. Perseverance means completing what you start despite obstacles. It means never giving up.

People who show perseverance keep trying, even when they face challenges. They stay focused on their goals and work hard, even when things don't go as planned. Those who persevere often achieve great things because they don't quit. They also learn a lot and get better at what they do.

Perseverance can also inspire others. When one person in a group keeps going despite setbacks, it can motivate the whole team to keep trying and reach their goals.

To practice and encourage the character strength of perseverance at home, please visit The Positivity Project’s mobile-friendly P2 for Families (available in English and Spanish), where you will watch a video together and discuss a quote and three questions. Below are links to this week’s P2 for Families lessons. Click on the grade level that best meets your child’s needs.

Thank you for your support!

If you are interested in your child receiving services from our department, please fill out this form. 

The application for 26-27 NCPK is now open.

This is a wonderful opportunity for families to give their child a strong start in a nurturing and engaging environment. 💛

Please help us spread the word! Families can call the number listed on the flyer below to check eligibility.

Let’s work together to fill this classroom with future Eagles! 🦅
