Thank you! Due to your matchless generosity, North Texas Giving Day was a resounding success. Together we raised more than $144,000 in support of our scholars and our school. Every penny raised goes directly to Great Hearts Irving and helps to make this incredible, classical education possible.

Families with students planning to return to in-person learning are invited to attend our Safe Return Meet and Greet this Monday, September 21. This will be an opportunity to drop off your child's materials and medication, pick up the placards with your child's name that will be needed for afternoon pick-up each day, and to say hello to your child's teacher in person.

If you haven't already, visit greatheartsirving.org/meetandgreet to sign up for a time slot in which to visit your child's classroom. If you have multiple students, you will need to sign up for a different slot for each of their classrooms. All visitors will also be required to wear a mask and maintain social distancing from others at all times while on campus.

We are delighted that our parking lot now features painted lines marking the routes of our three carlines that match the color assigned to each. Our hope is that these lines will make the routes much easier for parents to follow.

There are two important updates this year:

The Green Line is for cars picking up students in Kindergarten through 3rd Grades only.

Cars exiting the Green Line must turn let onto Skyway Circle and then turn right onto Story Road.

The White Line is for cars picking up students in 4th or 5th Grades and their siblings.

The White Line must be entered by turning left into the parking lot. Please do not turn right into the parking lot off Skyway Circle.

The Blue Line is for cars picking up students from both the Lower School and Upper School campuses.

The Blue Line must be entered by turning left into the parking lot. Please do not turn right into the parking lot off Skyway Circle.

As a reminder, details about our plans for a safe return to in-person learning, including Great Hearts' Health Policy for Students and Staff, Mask Policy, are available at greatheartsirving.org/safereturn.
