The Irving Middle School in Roslindale is back in the Transcript police blotter with two incidents:

An Irving School student reported that a group of female students threatened her by saying, "You gonna pay us a thousand dollars or we're going to cut your nipples off." The victim was also told that she was going to be gang-raped.

Also, a 15-year-old earned a trip to Area E-5 because he was:

Entering different rooms, slamming doors, pushing staff members and yelling expletives.

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

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.

Talk about jailbait

Roslindale's Washington Irving Middle School is a familiar name to habitues of the Roslindale Transcript's police-blotter column. This week's report, however, gives us something different from the usual student attempts to beat up teachers:

The mother of a 14-year-old Irving Middle School student reported to police that the girl's ex-boyfriend, a 33-year-old man from Revere, allegedly entered the school to get the juvenile to "sign paperwork."

The paper follows that item with one about a Newburg Street resident complaining a couple of people were throwing potatoes at her:

... Police noticed pieces of potatoes in the staircase and a crate of spuds in the hallway. ...

Two knife assaults in Roslindale last week

The Transcript reports the Bustoff variety store on Florence Street was held up last Thursday afternoon, by two guys who punched the clerk and put a knife to his throat before they tied him up and pushed him to the floor. On Saturday, a Roxbury man was arrested outside Delfino's on South Street for pulling a switchblade on a man who refused to give him a cigarette.

Meanwhile, news out of the Irving Middle School includes a 12-year-old charged with throwing an open pair of scissors at a teacher and some graffiti threatening death to a specific teacher.

The Roslindale Transcript reports that a worker at the Village Market was assaulted when he tried to stop a man stealing a bottle of pomegranate juice.
