Washington Irving Middle School PTA

09/03/2026

Don't let the angst of middle school scare you. Keep your head on and join WIMS PTA today!

09/02/2026

Tonight's Back to School Night! You can go through your child's schedule, meet their teachers, learn about their classes, and join the PTA!

Here are some tips for tonight:

- There aren't a lot of parking spots. Please carpool and walk if possible. If you drive, please follow staff direction, and there will be more parking on the back field.

- Keene Mill Elementary School has also said that families are welcome to park there and walk across the field to Irving. Please pack your patience!

- Before coming to Irving, please take a screenshot of your child's schedule in SIS ParentVue so you know where to go. If you do not have ParentVue and need a copy of your child's schedule, you can stop by the main office to get one printed.

- You can sign up for the PTA now at https://irvingms.givebacks.com/shop

- The PTA will have lanyards, magnets, and a selection of "Horsemen Wear" available for purchase. The WiFi can be a bit tricky in the school, so we recommend bringing cash for a fast checkout.
