Review for Irvine Public Schools Foundation, Irvine, CA, USA
Irvine Public School Foundation works hard to provide all of the intangibles that make public schools work for the broadest range of students. My kids enjoyed their first IPSF program when they took an after-school enrichment Spanish class in KIndergarten. I was impressed with the quality of the instruction and the care they took in ensuring the safety of my children. I can say with honesty that every class my children have taken through IPSF has helped them grow academically and socially. When funding was cut to our public schools, IPSF worked tirelessly to raise funds from parents, businesses and the city of Irvine to maintain our science, art, and music curriculums and to help schools hire aides at the elementary level and add sections of classes at the secondary level so students had more support in the classroom. These programs allow all of our students to have a richer educational experience. My daughter had never touched a cello, but when she heard one played on the first day of music in 4th grade, she fell in love. IPSF allows all students to have affordable access to quality music instruction and welcomes students of all skill levels to join. Both of my children have had a richer public school experience due to IPSF, and I am proud to volunteer for them when I can.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Make sure that new families know that IPSF exists and how they make Irvine Schools richer, by providing information to Relators and Apartment complex managers, and to school offices when new families enroll in school. (As a volunteer, I am not familiar with all they do, so they may already do this well.)
