IUSD Annual Survey
Please take a few minutes to complete our IUSD Annual Survey. Each year, every school in Irvine Unified administers a climate survey. By making this an annual district-wide effort, we can begin to understand our most compelling needs and measure our growth over time.
Obtaining stakeholder feedback regarding school climate and school-community relationship is critical for guiding our continuous improvement efforts. It also allows IUSD to dedicate resources through our Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) to ensure that we serve our students, support our staff, and remain connected to our communities. To learn more about the LCAP and the importance of the Annual Survey, please watch this three-minute informative video.
Thank you in advance for taking the time to complete the IUSD Annual Survey! We know that this is a busy time of year and we appreciate you dedicating your time to provide us candid and constructive feedback. The survey will be open from January 25 to February 22. All responses to this survey are anonymous and will be kept strictly confidential.

A Message from Nurse Arya
IUSD supports a 10 day quarantine for families who travel out of state. Absences related to voluntary quarantine are excused and students will complete asynchronous work while they are home. Please see the CDPH January 6th Travel Advisory notice for state recommendation.
Please note that Covid testing immediately following travel may not reflect the true extent of exposure to Sars-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19 as the virus can take 5-14 days to incubate within the body before a person can test positive. Please consider the voluntary quarantine as a way to assist us in promoting a safe and healthy environment for students and staff. For local testing click on the link provided: IRVINE-COVID Testing
For additional questions please feel free to contact our school nurse Jeannine Arya at jeanninearya@iusd.org or our health office assistant Saba Karim at sabakarim@iusd.org .
