The Roslindale middle school is back in the police blotter this week:

... Officer Younger responded to the Irving Middle School in which two juvenile females had a fight in the cafeteria. The victim, whose hands, nails and head were injured, was taken to the hospital by her mother. ...

Three more reasons I'm glad I don't have to worry about sending my kid to the Irving Middle School in Roslindale

Jesus. This week's police blotter in the Roslindale Transcript has three separate reports from the school:

Four girls calling themselves Die to Kill were found beating up another girl.

The relatives of a student showed up at 7 a.m. to confront her harassers - who them promptly tried to beat up the relatives (unclear if the two incidents are related).

A girl, 13, was arrested after allegedly leading 30 other students into the cafeteria to beat up another student. Fortunately, police were already in the school because of "a recent increase of student fights at the school."

All this and a possible MCAS cheating scandal.

NOTE: The column also mentions a girl getting beaten up at Catholic Memorial and the West Roxbury Educational Complex fight at the Spring Street Dunkin' Donuts, but neither of those schools get into the blotter week after week.

Roslindale principal develops novel MCAS study technique

Sorta old news, but I was reminded of it this morning because the kidlet's taking Yet Another MCAS Test: The principal of the Washington Irving Middle School is under investigation for allegedly giving teachers parts of the test the day before so they could help their students get better scores.

Silver lining: It might take people's minds off the school's weekly appearances in the Roslindale Transcript's police blotter.
