IUSD is committed to providing accurate and transparent information regarding COVID-19 cases on our campuses, while also maintaining privacy and confidentiality for our students and staff.  To this end, the District has launched a new COVID-19 dashboard.

Vista Verde K-8 School has been named a 2020 National Blue Ribbon School by the U.S. Department of Education, making it one of 367 schools from across the nation to have earned what is widely considered the nation’s highest level of recognition for public and private schools.

As part of IUSD's inclusive and proactive planning for the 2020-21 school year, the District has identified and allocated more than $21 million for health and safety measures.  As we prepare to welcome back more than 22,000 students to our campuses and classrooms this article details IUSD process and investments.

September is Emergency Preparedness Month and IUSD would like to remind our community about the importance of being prepared for emergencies.  Included is information about IUSD's planning and tips from the Irvine Police Department and the Orange County Fire Authority.
