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
