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.

Valentine's Day Guidelines
We are looking forward to celebrating all the people we love and respect in class for Valentine’s Day. Given that it will look different this year due to health and safety guidelines we wanted to provide some clarity on the structure:
- Students will be permitted to bring Valentine cards and a NON-FOOD goodie for each student in class on February 8th or 9th (depending on hybrid cohort.) Please note that NO FOOD OR CANDY is permitted. Any edible items that are sent to school will be immediately returned home.
- If students choose to bring in cards, please be sure they bring in enough for everyone in class. Your child's teacher will provide the number of students in class.
- We will monitor all paths of travel and distribution to ensure we are following all health and safety guidelines. Students in hybrid cohort A will bring their cards/goodies home on Thursday, February 11th and students in hybrid cohort B and traditional classes will bring their cards/goodies home on Friday, February 12th.
We will also be celebrating in class with creative opportunities and technology components to ensure this is a fun day for students to feel loved. Thank you for all your efforts to continue and keep us all healthy!
