Families,
We are raising the bar for our students. Our goal is clear. Prepare every student for high school and beyond.
At Lochbuie Intermediate Academy, we believe students rise to the level of expectations set before them. When we expect excellence, they meet it. When we push for growth, they show it. Our staff is committed to challenging students every day to think critically, problem-solve, and take ownership of their learning.
To reach those goals, we must all move away from the belief of “I can’t.” That mindset limits growth. Instead, we are building a culture of “I can” and “I will.” Learning takes effort, and success takes persistence. Every challenge faced in the classroom is a chance to build confidence and skill.
This year, we are focusing on helping students:
• Ask questions that deepen their understanding.
• Take responsibility for completing quality work.
• Show perseverance when learning feels difficult.
• Support one another and celebrate progress.
• Set goals that prepare them for the next level.
Parents and families play a key role in this journey. Encourage your student to talk about what they are learning. Ask about their goals and help them take pride in their progress. Together, we are shaping learners who are ready for high school, prepared for college, and confident for life.
Best regards,
Manuel Montano
Principal, Lochbuie Intermediate Academy
