Principal's Message

Dear Walton Families,

Welcome to another exciting year at Walton Intermediate School!

As we begin a new school year, I am filled with optimism and excitement for the opportunities that lie ahead for our students, staff, and families. Walton is more than just a school—it is a community where students are encouraged to discover their strengths, pursue their passions, and develop the skills they need to succeed both in and out of the classroom.

At Walton, we are committed to providing an exceptional educational experience that supports the whole child. Guided by Garden Grove Unified School District's focus on Academic Success, Social-Emotional Support, and Life-Long Learning, we strive to create an environment where every student feels valued, challenged, and inspired to achieve their personal best.

Our school culture is built around our ROAR expectations, which help define what it means to be a Walton Wildcat. We encourage all students to demonstrate:

Respect for themselves, others, and their learning environment;
Organization in their work, preparation, and daily habits;
Attitude that reflects positivity, perseverance, and a willingness to learn; and
Responsibility for their choices, actions, and academic success.

These values help create a safe, positive, and inclusive school community where students can thrive. By embracing ROAR each day, our Wildcats develop the character, confidence, and skills needed to succeed in middle school, high school, and beyond.

Middle school is a time of tremendous growth, discovery, and opportunity. Whether your child is joining us for the first time or returning for another year as a Wildcat, our dedicated staff is committed to supporting and challenging every student as they learn, grow, and achieve.

We know that student success is strongest when schools and families work together. We encourage you to stay involved, stay connected, and partner with us throughout the year as we celebrate accomplishments, overcome challenges, and create meaningful learning experiences for our students.

Thank you for being an important part of the Walton community. Together, we will make this school year one filled with learning, growth, achievement, and unforgettable memories.

Once a Wildcat, always a Wildcat!

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.
