The Irvine Unified School District (IUSD) is committed to keeping families informed and engaged. To assist with this, we use ParentSquare, a comprehensive communications platform that allows our school and the District to send important updates, alerts and information directly to our families.

The April 2025 IUSD Insights is out now! Each month, as part of our commitment to ensuring the IUSD community is well-informed about District priorities, initiatives, successes and challenges, we will share insights, innovations, news and more, while highlighting the many voices that put the "US" at the center of IUSD.

IUSD is launching the Early College Program for incoming 9th-grade students starting the 2025-26 school year. Courses are UC/CSU transferable and can lead to IGETC Certification or even an associate’s degree with additional units.
As May 1, National College Decision Day, approaches, high school seniors and their families face an exciting yet sometimes stressful milestone filled with questions and expectations, and can benefit from key strategies to evaluate options, manage stress, and make an informed decision.
The April Parent Workshops include the Screens and Teens Parent Workshop and Special Education Coffee and Connections.
