Irwin County Elementary

ICSS will be closed tomorrow. Be safe and enjoy the day off work/school!

Irwin County Elementary School recognized several staff members as "Chiefs of the Week" this week. Daphane Stevenson, Alecia Martin, Dede Stephens, and Madellen Sirmans were awarded for exemplary service to our students, families, and staff. 

Today Mrs. Abby Clayton's fifth grade class enjoyed First Chapter Friday, when the students hear the first chapter of a library book that is different from what they might ordinarily try. Mrs. Clayton and Mrs. Christie Copeland, I.C.E.S. media specialist, read the beginning of a Charlie Joe Jackson book. Mrs. Clayton's students rated the book afterward and gave it a "thumbs up!" Mrs. Clayton is just one of the many I.C.E.S. teachers exploring innovative instructional strategies in English Language Arts.

The newest edition of the Irwin County Elementary School Principal's Newsletter is available. We look forward to a great year with our students and families!

Mrs. Warren’s 4th grade classes at I.C.E.S. are off to a great start! Using base ten blocks, place value disks, and logical reasoning, students are learning how to regroup and rename numbers in various ways.

Dear Parents/Guardians, Irwin County Elementary School would like to invite you to attend a parent-teacher meeting to discuss your child's progress, Title I, attendance, and to share important updates about the school. The meeting will be Thursday, September 4 from 4:30 P.M. to 6:00 P.M. We look forward to seeing you and working together to support your child's education!

Irwin County Schools, through the GADOE, have partnered with Parent ProTech to empower families, create safer digital habits, and strengthen school-to-home connections. Today’s students live in a tech-first world, and parents often struggle to keep up. Parent ProTech bridges that gap by providing schools with an easy-to-use platform that helps parents understand the technology their children use every day—social media, gaming, devices, and more.

The Irwin County Pre-K team had a great first week of school at Irwin County Elementary !

At Irwin County Elementary School, all of our teams have had a great first week serving our students!

Irwin County Elementary School Staff had a great time posing with the Chief during our get to know you activity!!! Staff members had to circulate the room and talk with one another to find who had the puzzle piece that completed theirs. Then they had to answer three get to know you questions. The final step was taking a creative picture with the Indian Chief Statue; with the top three pictures winning gift cards. The pictures were great and we couldn't choose just three. We had to choose four.

We would like to thank the Irwin County Hospital for their support of your schools. Employees and board members of Irwin County Hospital held a school supply drive for Irwin County Elementary School. ICH is always looking for ways to give back to our community, and stated, "supporting our youth through collecting school supplies is something we have grown fond of doing! " Again, thank you for your ongoing support of ICSS.
