Blackboard System Upgrade: Action Required

The Irving ISD Blackboard System will be upgraded this summer and teachers need to export their courses from the old system. After the new equipment is installed and running, then teachers will be able to import their courses into the new system. Teachers can easily do this before the summer to be sure to keep their course intact. The district will provide an overlap when the new and old system are up, but don't put this off and forget about your Blackboard courses. (See attachment for more details.)

Go Red for Women Day

Teachers, staff and students: Friday, February 1 is national Go Red for Women day. This is a movement dedicated to raising awareness of heart disease in women. Heart disease kills 460,000 women a year in the United States alone. Here at MacArthur we would like to join in this national awareness day by wearing one of our favorite colors – red. Friday is spirit day on campus so this will be easy. Just wear something red (whether it’s a shirt, pants, shoes, jewelry, or whatever) to show your support for women and the fight against heart disease.
