Irvington Weekly Newsletter
February 17, 2023
As the school district prepares its budget for next year and shares it with schools, I am happy to share with the Irvington community that we will have no cuts in classrooms or programming next year! Although things can change between now and August, as it stands now we will maintain two classes per grade, continue our specials rotation (PE, art, music, and library), and retain staff members associated with reading intervention. I will keep you updated if there are any changes. While next school year is a while away, I'm looking forward to planning for it and building off of our successes this year!
With appreciation for your support,
Mr. G.
