Principal's Message

Dear Families,

Welcome to a brand new school year! It is with great excitement and gratitude that I welcome you to our school community. As we embark on this journey together, I want to share how honored I am to begin my 20th year in education as the new Principal of Walton Intermediate.  In my 20 years with the Garden Grove Unified School District, I have been a math teacher at Fitz Intermediate, and an assistant principal at both Doig Intermediate and Santiago High School. I am truly thrilled to support your children this year as they grow, learn, and thrive.

At the heart of everything we do are the goals that guide our district’s vision for student success: Academic Success, Social-Emotional Support, and Life-Long Learning. These three pillars shape the experiences we aim to provide every day on our campus. Whether through rigorous and engaging classroom instruction, caring support systems, or opportunities for curiosity and creativity, we are committed to helping each student reach their full potential.

Our school is a place where students are challenged academically, supported emotionally, and inspired to develop the skills and mindset to become lifelong learners. We believe strongly in the partnership between school and home, and we invite you to stay connected, ask questions, and take part in our school community.

Thank you for entrusting us with your child’s education. I look forward to a successful and meaningful year ahead for all of our students and families.

With warm regards,
Mrs. Marci Loo
Principal

Our School

Welcome Back Wildcats!

Walton's parent opportunities provide a plethora of familial involvement and support, boosting academic performances, and overall well-being. We have monthly parent meetings and parent education opportunities. Our parent education meetings unite parents and offer resources on how to help their child succeed throughout their schooling experience. We also have the ELAC (English Language Advisory Committee), DELAC (District English Language Advisory Committee), and SSC (School Site Council). These groups collaborate to provide a supportive learning environment and coordinate exciting yearly events.

It is no secret that Walton's Gold Ribbon Status and long record of academic excellence have been possible thanks to the quality education that our credentialed teachers provide! Walton has also earned the California Honor Roll Award for the past two years. Our school's PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports) system encourages students to exert positive qualities such as respect and leadership as a means to not only succeed academically but socially as well. Educators and staff highly value and celebrate all efforts to maintain a positive attitude here on campus, advocating the development of close friendships and safe behavior.

Our after school programs provide academically enriching opportunities for all enrolled scholars.  Our library is open in the morning and after school, and we also have after school intervention classes all staffed with credentialed teachers.  

Walton also embraces the value of a well-rounded education through extracurricular activities. Several clubs on campus develop student leadership and confidence, contributing to an engaging and positive learning environment.  We also have a strong partnership with the Boys and Girls Club on campus.

Thank you for the parental and community-wide support. We look forward to embracing the power of education this year with academic and personal success. For questions, comments, or concerns, please visit our front office or call us at 714-663-6040.
