IUSD NewsFlash just received word that a Northwood Elementary student is set to appear Wednesday night on a fast-paced Nickelodeon game show.

Being a parent today can seem more difficult than ever, as so many kids and adults are struggling with social and emotional pressures.

Based on the projection of positive ending balances through 2011-12, as well as the arrival of approximately $4.5 million in federal dollars, the IUSD Board of Education on Oct.

For the third year in a row, IUSD students joined a national effort to break the record for reading the same book on the same day, taking part in Jumpstart’s annual “Read for the Record” campaign.

Well, better late than never. California’s budget arrived 100 days late to be exact, setting a new mark for the longest budgetary impasse in state history. But by Oct. 8, lawmakers had approved a spending plan for the fiscal year that began in July.

It’s the first Tuesday of October, and that means there’s a meeting of the IUSD Board of Education tonight at 7.

Potentially ending the longest budget impasse in California's history, it was announced on Oct. 1  that Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and key legislative leaders had finally reached agreement on a spending plan for the current fiscal year.

IUSD schools, in partnership with Team Kids, the Irvine Unified Council PTA and Jumpstart, will join a national effort to set a new world record for the most people reading the same book on the same day as part of “Read for the Record” on Thursday, Oct. 7.

Just a reminder that you can follow the Irvine Unified School District on Facebook.
