Student Nominations

Accepting Nominations for the Irving ICE Awards

The committee is asking that every campus submit at least one nomination for the ICE Awards Program.   Campuses may submit multiple nominations if desired.  Awards will be in the form of crystal trophies and cash for campuses and certificates for individuals.   The deadline for nominations is Friday, October 26, 2007. 

You are encouraged to designate an administrator on your campus to coordinate the nomination process by making sure that all staff members including department chairs, grade level chairs, and/or extracurricular and co-curricular teachers are informed about the program and have an opportunity for input in the nomination process.  A copy of the nomination form is attached and is also available on the District’s website.   All nominations submitted must be signed by the principal of the campus.

The ICE Awards will be made by instructional level (elementary, middle school, and high school).  The six categories for the awards are listed below. 

• Humanities (English/Language Arts, Reading and Social Studies)

• Math/Science

• Fine Arts

• Athletics/Physical Education

• Community Service/Citizenship

• Special Campus/District (Programs/events that do not fit in any other category)

We are asking coordinators to please emphasize to those submitting nominations to provide detailed information with the nomination form.  The members of the Excellence Now Committee are not educators and, therefore, need and want as much information as possible to help them understand the significance of the event.

The ICE Awards Program has been very successful for the last four years as a result of your support.  We are looking forward to an even better program this year and welcome your comments and suggestions toward that end.

Remember, each campus is encouraged to submit at least one nomination to Dr. Neil Dugger no later than Friday, October 26, 2007.  Please call if you have questions.
