The students read Dolly books about her childhood, life, dreams, and generosity; learned about her Coat of Many Colors; made our own cowboy & cowgirl hats; listened to Dolly’s children’s music; and, of course, enjoyed Dolly’s favorites—potato chips & sweet tea! 🥔🥤
Our little cowboys and cowgirls had a day full of learning, laughter, music, and a whole lot of Dolly sparkle! ✨💗

Update: Phones and Internet access has been restored.
Irwin County Schools are currently experiencing a phone and Internet outage. We are working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.

Parents and guardians, I.C.E.S. will have school picture day on Thursday, October 1. We look forward to seeing all of our students looking their best!

Here is a little "peek" into Irwin County Elementary School's Accelerated Reader program, with this month's "Hype Video" created for students to watch in their classrooms.

One of the "clubs" that students can join by earning A.R. points is the "A.R. Influencers," and we have our very first two students who made this club for the school year. Congratulations to Payzli Stephenson and Willow Farmer!
Students in grades 1-5 will have a chance to earn new prizes each month, and we look forward to seeing our students excel as readers and leaders this year. Thank you to our teachers, staff, parents, and guardians for supporting our students in their reading at school and home.


Your student will bring home a packet today with a parent letter, catalog, order form, and directions for how you and your friends and relatives can shop and support the school. Items will arrive at I.C.E.S. after fall break, or they can also be delivered through the mail. Your student has the opportunity to win a variety of prizes, such as time on the gaming trailer, Amazon gift cards, and extra cookie dough.



Mrs. Lynn Turner, classified employee of the year, was unable to be present for the parade, so I.C.E.S. made sure she was still represented with a life-sized cutout on our float. Mrs. Rontee Barnes, I.C.E.S. Principal, rode and displayed Mrs. Turner's image.
We are so proud of both of our employees of the year, and all of the hard work they reflect at I.C.E.S.!
