Supplies for Success

      Parents

Parents in need of assistance with supplies should contact their Irving ISD school counselors.  The counselors will be able to provide economically disadvantaged students supplies that they need at the beginning of the school year.

      Businesses / Donations

Irving businesses and individuals are invited to participate in the Fourth Annual Mayor and Firefighters’ Supplies for Success school supply drive. This city-wide event is held to collect school supplies for economically disadvantaged students who attend school in Irving ISD.

All Irving fire stations will be collecting donations from July 7–August 8. Persons wishing to donate supplies are encouraged to visit their neighborhood fire station. School supplies will be sorted and delivered to counselors at every Irving ISD school.

School supplies needed include: backpacks, zippered notebook binders, one-, two-, or three-inch notebook binders, one-subject spiral notebooks, construction paper, dry-erase markers and highlighter sets, pens, pencils, erasers, wide-rule notebook paper, colored pencil and marker sets, large glue sticks, and 16- and 24-count Crayons.

Businesses interested in donating supplies are encouraged to contact Thelma Cantu, Partnerships in Education Coordinator, at 972-215-5017, or via email to tcantu@irvingisd.net.
