Welcome

Irving Middle School promotes kindness and community
The theme for the 2019/2020 school year is Empathy
Empathy involves choosing to emotionally understand what another is feeling in order to understand their experience.
Let's practice Empathy:
- I will regularly listen to another's thoughts and feelings
- I will develop an awareness for all those behind the scenes in my daily life
- I will become curious about those I don't know well
- I will be open to the cultural traditions of others
- I will practice disagreeing respectfully
