Welcome to the 2024-25 School Year

Welcome Back to School 2024

Dear IUSD Families,

On behalf of the Irvine Unified School District (IUSD) Board of Education, administrators, and staff, we are excited to welcome our new and returning students to the 2024-25 school year. We would also like to thank our year-round students and families, who began school on July 17, for a smooth start. Our staff has been diligently preparing throughout the summer and is eager to make this a wonderful year!

Our Commitment 

We believe that educational excellence is a journey, not a destination.  Our commitment to continuous improvement, inclusion, and to providing the highest quality educational experience we can envision for all of our more than 38,000 students has become the hallmark of IUSD excellence.  We are dedicated to developing the whole child so they are equipped with the attitudes, skills, and knowledge to meet their academic and personal goals within IUSD and beyond. This includes preparing students to be college and career-ready while also nurturing their social and emotional well-being.

Student, Parent, and Family Resources

To help ensure your child’s success, we are continually improving our educational supports, mental health and wellness resources, school counseling programs, and a range of resources for students and families. I encourage you to explore the valuable information available on our website at iusd.org.

Additionally, to help start the school year, we have updated our website with several helpful back-to-school reminders that include information about traffic and e-bike safety, college and career readiness,  parent and family engagement that encompasses language support, parent education, the Parent Center, tips for using Parent Square and the Parent Portal, campus safety, digital citizenship and much more.

Accessibility and Language Preferences

District and school websites have improved search features and accessibility settings, enabling our community to set their language preferences, view content, and access information in various formats.  Click here for a short video to learn more. 

Stay Connected to IUSD

Please stay connected to IUSD by regularly visiting our website and our News Center for official District news and information. In addition to checking email messages from your schools and the District, we encourage you to like and follow us on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube. Also, look for the September edition of IUSD Insights, which is our official monthly publication for District news, information, and resources.

Your partnership is vital to our mission. Your support and engagement are what make our school community thrive. Together, we are the “US” at the center of IUSD. Thank you for being an integral part of IUSD.

Here's to a fantastic school year ahead!

Warm regards,
