August is National Wellness Month, which focuses on self-care, managing stress and promoting healthy routines. This is a great reminder for students, staff and families to create healthy habits, especially during the school year, when schedules are often busy and there are several competing priorities. 

IUSD joined the Children’s Hospital of Orange County, the Tsao Family Foundation and the Orange County Department of Education to celebrate the District WellSpaces set to open for the 2022-23 school year.  

IUSD would like to thank our community for participating in the 50th Anniversary Photo Contest. With more than 200 photo submissions, there was a broad range of outstanding photos that creatively captured the many wonderful and different aspects of our District.  

IUSD is proud of each graduate and we wish our students best wishes and success as they embark on this next phase of their lives.

Superintendent Walker's end of the year letter shares messages of gratitude for the IUSD community, resources that may be helpful for students and families over the summer months, and the District's commitment to partnership and collaboration.

IUSD would like to share important water, sun, and bike safety reminders for families to keep in mind not only during summer break, but also throughout the rest of the year.

Ken Kafton is the only employee who has been with IUSD for the entirety of its history, witnessing its growth and evolution.  In this article, Ken shares his story and some of the District's history starting in the early 1970s, before IUSD was even its own school district. 

The Children’s Hospital of Orange County has received a $2 million gift from the Tsao Family Foundation to work in collaboration with the Orange County Department of Education to establish 17 WellSpaces on IUSD secondary school campuses over the next four years.

During the June 7 IUSD Board of Education Meeting, the District will host a school safety presentation to share information with the community about IUSD’s multi-layered approach to campus safety. IPD will also be on hand to provide information about their preparedness efforts.  

Our heartfelt sympathies are with the victims and their families. Please read IUSD's statement, which includes resources for students, staff and families, who may need support processing this tragedy, along with information about IUSD's safety resources and reminders for families.
