Irving ISD will host an expo next week for current families and prospective students to learn about the school district’s programs and 38 schools.
The free event is scheduled from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Thursday and will feature a dual language lounge, early-learning playland and an application station where families can apply to the district’s three choice schools: Singley Academy, Singley Collegiate Academy and South Irving Collegiate Academy.
