Welcome

to the Bear Den

Irving Middle School is all about kindness and community

The theme for the 2018/2019 school year is Dignity

Dignity is crucial to building and sustaining an environment in which everyone feels included, valued, and appreciated.

In order to reach my intention to manifest the virtue of dignity:

• I will reflect on how I see myself and others see me.
• I will consider the small things, like being kind and courteous, knowing they make a difference.
• I will smile because it is contagious.
• I will offer graditude to others by saying thank you.
• I honor the culural traditions of others.
• I will include others and show mutual respect.
