Welcome

to the Bear Den

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

• Cultivate individual strengths and talents
• Be responsible, productive, and healthy citizens
