Our left-brain friends in the district have reminded us that there are a couple of major science events coming up.

Hundreds of IUSD middle school students explored potential science careers during a conference that was held at UCI this week. Here's a news release and a photo courtesy of Jacqueline Carr, who attends Venado Middle School.

Good morning, and welcome back!

More than 11,000 students in the Irvine Unified School District walked or pedaled to school on Thursday, Oct.

As we mentioned a few weeks back, the Irvine Unified School District is working with corporate partners to install solar panels at a number of sites, and some are nearing completion.

Thousands of IUSD schoolchildren and their families are expected to abandon the family car in favor of comfortable shoes on Thursday, Oct. 28, in conjunction with International Walk to School Day.

The Irvine Unified PTA Council is inviting IUSD students of all ages to participate in its annual “Reflections” art contest.

This week, the state released its Academic Performance Index scores for 2010, and IUSD quietly earned the top spot among California’s larger school systems.
