Greetings from the DATE Committee!

The end of the year is rapidly approaching!  Remember, June 5th is the deadline for completing the DATE mentoring and lesson plan requirements (if applicable to your subject area and grade level).  Procedures for completing the mentoring or lesson plan documentation may vary for each campus, however, the DATE Committee has made the following recommendations:

  • On or before June 5th, print 2 copies of your application from the DATE database.  The application will include the mentoring hours or lesson plans that you have previously submitted online.

  • On June 5th, bring both copies to the campus Principal to have the Lesson Plan Verification or Mentoring Verification signed. 

  • The Principal will keep 1 copy for your personnel file, and you will keep 1 copy for the final submission of your application on September 1.

  • After the official test scores have arrived and the final signatures have been added, Principals will submit all applications to Dr. Neil Dugger on September 1.

For more information on these requirements contact your school’s Committee contact person.

*Remember*  You must scroll down and click “Save Changes” each time you update the database in order for your information to be saved.

Attached are the most recent questions submitted to the DATE Committee, along with the previous six releases of DATE Q&A.  Please review all of them as they may answer your question as well.  If you have any questions that have not been addressed, please submit these questions to DATE@irvingisd.net

Also attached is a list of the Campus Contacts for the DATE Committee.  Please contact the appropriate person as often as needed.
