As part of the Irvine Unified School District’s ongoing effort to prevent and limit the spread of COVID-19 in our schools and facilities, the District in partnership with LivingFit Nation Corporate Wellness will offer, at no cost to participants, COVID-19 testing for students and IUSD employees and their dependents through Feb. 22. 

The Irvine Company presented IUSD with a check for $2 million as part of the Excellence in Education Enrichment Fund grant. This Fund supports art, music and science education for IUSD students in grades four through six.

National, state and local expert health agencies and officials continue to affirm that schools are effectively combating COVID-19 due to stringent mitigation strategies and they have made recommendations for schools to reopen and remain open.

The Irvine Unified School District (IUSD) has been ranked a top school district in Orange County and one of the best in California, according to a new report by the review site Niche.

School will resume Monday, January 4, per your student’s regular schedule for both in-person instruction and IVA.  Please take a moment to review the following important safety reminders.  

Superintendent Walker's message of gratitude, to the IUSD community, includes important reminders to help keep schools safe and open, along with mental health and wellness resources and supports for students and families.   

The Orange County Health Care Agency recently announced the winners of their Mask Message Contest, which included several IUSD students.  The county-wide contest was designed to promote mask safety and help inform school communities about ways to slow the spread of COVID-19. 

Due to effective mitigation strategies to combat COVID-19, schools are not affected by the state's new regional stay at home order.  Read Superintendent Walker's update for important information.  

IUSD is aware of Governor Newsom's most recent regional stay at home order announced today and we are working with state and local officials to understand what this means for our school district. We will provide an update as soon as we have more information.

Although the Bond Fire does not pose a threat to the City of Irvine or IUSD schools, according to IPD and OCFA, the entire city continues to experience unhealthy air quality. As a result, IUSD is unable to operate HVAC systems, a critical component to COVID-19 safety protocols and therefore IUSD schools will continue in distance learning Friday.
