Education Is Everyone’s Business
Our schools directly affect our communities, property values and the future of our city.
Irvine Public Schools Foundation (IPSF) is proud to support Irvine schools and unite our community in
support of excellence in education.
Who we are
Founded in 1996, IPSF’s mission is to enrich the educational experience of each child in every school.
A 501(c)3 nonprofit foundation, we provide funding to Irvine Unified School District to preserve the quality of
education during the school day and also offer a variety of enriching afterschool and summer activities.
Impact of IPSF

IUSD since 1996

by adding teachers and instructional assistants
• Funds all music programs for grades K-3
• Has awarded $1,000,000 in grants directly to teachers to
promote innovation in the classroom since 1996
• Provides over $2,000,000 in enrichment programs for students
each year
• Every IPSF program offers scholarships for low-income
students to participate
High quality

quality
workforce and

NEW for 2016!
IPSF values all opinions and feedback from surveys administered at the end of a program.
The most common recommendation was to extend the program, both in number of weeks and number of hours
each day. We listened. This year, we added a second 3-week session at 3 locations from July 11- July 29. We
also increased our class duration to 3.5 hours each day for elementary, and 100 minutes per period for middle
school. This means that a full day for K-6 is from 8:15 am – 4 pm, and from 8:30 am – 2:10 pm for grades 7-8.

“I’m extremely impressed with
the teachers as well as the course
itself. It’s a wonderful learning
opportunity for marine science and a
fun beach experience. My daughter
enjoyed the course even more than
last year. The positive word of mouth
inspired twice as many students from
our school, Eastshore, to take the
course this summer. Mr. Brooks and
Mr. Minyard are great and we will sign
up again next summer.”

“Teachers are exceptionally
caring and experienced
professionals in helping my child
adjust to a school environment
and feel pride in his
accomplishments. We are
truly grateful that our son
had an opportunity to attend
the summer program.”
–Bonita Canyon Parent
“I loved how we could get into
groups to build everything and
get to see our creations in
action. The teachers made it fun
and exciting for us.”
–Canyon View Student
CLASS INFORMATION AND EXPECTATIONS
WHAT TO EXPECT | Summer Enrichment Academy and August Camps are designed to offer a variety of classes for your student to provide an enriching educational experience during the summer. This means that no homework, tests, grades, or school credit will be given. On occasion, an instructor will
require a take home project or additional outside research for a specific project. Instructors will communicate class specific curriculum and can be
reached via email with questions during the course of the program.
ATTENDANCE | Students are encouraged to arrive on time and attend all classes. IPSF understands that other activities arise during summer and
students may be absent. Please report any absences directly to your school site clerk. For extended vacations or absences, please include this information
in the “Critical Notes” section when registering. Students will not be dropped from their classes due to absences.
BEHAVIOR EXPECTATIONS | In order to maintain a safe, fun, and enriching environment, all students, parents, guardians, and school staff are
expected to behave in a respectful manner that promotes the safety and well-being of themselves and others. Inappropriate behavior includes, but is not
limited to: foul language, hurting, teasing, threatening, tattling, name calling, discussing mature subject matter, negative attitude, back talking an instructor, not cooperating or participating, not listening or following directions, fighting, littering, and stealing. In cases when behavior expectations are not
followed, the student (or students) may be removed from the program and will not be entitled to a class refund of any kind.
WHAT TO BRING | Class prices include all materials, but on occasion, students may be asked to bring special items from home for a particular performance or project. You will be notified via email if any of these items are needed. Students should bring water and a peanut-free snack for their snack
break each day. If you did not purchase lunch for your student during registration, you will need to provide lunch and water as food will not be sold on
school grounds.

open, alternate class or receive a full refund.
