Principal's Message

Welcome to Alamitos Intermediate School

At Alamitos, our Condor community exemplifies purpose, responsibility, integrity, determination, and excellence. As your principal and advocate, I am committed to supporting every child in achieving our Garden Grove Unified School District (GGUSD) goals: academic success, socio-emotional well-being, and lifelong achievement.

Our school boasts a rich history, a dedicated team of educators and staff, engaged families, and students who strive for excellence. We are proud to welcome everyone into the Alamitos community, where every voice is valued and every individual has the opportunity to thrive.

A Collaborative and Caring Environment

Our exceptional faculty and staff dedicate their time and energy to creating a welcoming and inclusive school environment. Through engaging lessons, meaningful interactions, and a commitment to student success, our educators inspire learning, independent thinking, and personal growth. You’ll often see our teachers connecting with students in hallways during passing periods, offering encouragement during lunch, or ensuring safety in the parking lots before and after school.

Every week, teachers collaborate within their departments to align lessons, share strategies, and refine their practices to enhance the learning experience for all students.

Family and Community Engagement

Parents and guardians play a vital role in our success. We welcome and encourage your involvement through our active parent groups, including the Parent Teacher Organization, Parent Welcome Committee, Condor’s Nest Volunteers, and Pastries with the Principals. These groups provide opportunities for families to connect with staff and support their child’s education in meaningful ways.

Opportunities for Student Growth and Connection

We offer a variety of after-school programs to help students explore their interests, build relationships, and develop skills. From academic support in our Math Zone to creative outlets in Art Club and Mariachi Club, as well as physical activities like Running Club and Weightlifting Club, there’s something for everyone. Additional opportunities include Boys and Girls Club tutoring, PureGames Soccer, and Latinos Unidos. The more students get involved, the more connected and successful they become.

Our Expectations for Student Success

At Alamitos, we hold high expectations for all students, and we’re here to support them in meeting these goals:

• Treat all people and property with respect and dignity.
• Attend school regularly and give their best effort each day.
• Follow school rules to contribute to a safe and thriving community.
• Complete assignments and homework on time.
• Strive for a 2.0 GPA or higher, recognizing that effort leads to success.
• Use their planners daily to stay organized.
• Set and pursue personal goals to achieve a bright and fulfilling future.

Open Communication and Collaboration

If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out. My door is always open to parents, guardians, and community members. Together, through collaboration and shared commitment, we can ensure every student’s success.

Fly with Pride,
Dr. Ivy Ngoc Trac
