After-School ProgramsThe PTA and school staff have worked together to offer a variety of extracurricular activities at Irvington School. This list will be updated in the fall of 2011. If you have ideas for activities you would like to see offered, please contact the after-school activities coordinator, Rachel Carlson, at rachelabra@msn.com.

Participation in Arnerich Massena programs is determined by teacher referral.
Arts EnrichmentEach year, the Irvington PTA provides funding for a variety of enrichment activities for kindergarten through 8th grade. If you’d like to get involved, email the PTA president at ptapres@irvingtonschool.com.
IRF (Irvington Reads for Fun)IRF is a book-distribution program started by the PTA in 2010 when our school no longer qualified for participation in the national RIF program. If you can help out, contact the IRF coordinator, Jen Maas, jlmaas@hotmail.com.

PTA coordinates parent involvement at school but you are in charge of what you’d like to do. Not all families look the same and not all volunteer roles are the same and both can change from year to year. If you had 10 hours to share with our school this year, what would you like to do? Together many hands make light work and our community grows. Best of all your child will see you actively involved in his/her future.
