					<description><![CDATA[Irvine International Academy has been named a 2025 California Distinguished School. This designation is the state’s top honor for schools. This prestigious award is for exceptional student performance and we qualified based on achieving exemplary performance in English Language Arts (ELA) and math, while also demonstrating strong student engagement and positive school climate. IIA was one of only two charter schools and one of only 44 elementary schools in Orange County to receive this award. This is an incredible honor and  a true testament to the hard work and dedication of our students, staff, and families.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Dear IIA Community,

It has been an incredible month at IIA. As many of you already know, our state test scores were publicly released and IIA has the top test scores in Orange County. Our students ranked #1 in both ELA and Science and #2 in math. This is an incredible accomplishment for a school that is only in its 4th year of existence and that teaches 50% of the day in Mandarin! Thank you to our entire IIA community for your hard work and dedication. This success is truly a team effort.
This month also brought several exciting events, including our Halloween Parade. It was great to see our students so excited to show off their costumes and to see all of our parents joining in the fun. Thank you to everyone for a great October!  You are PANDA PAWESOME!!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Let’s practice the “three R’s” in Our School Library.

Our school library space is currently being used in many ways to serve our kids at IIA. The open design of the large room has allowed teachers to seat the students in a semi-circle in the “sunken” amphitheater area for special talks. There is a pull-down movie screen and a big rug with colored circles for the younger students to sit on. The area is even big enough to handle some groups during recess when it is raining outside.]]></description>
