Families,

Persistence shapes growth at Lochbuie Intermediate Academy. Learning demands effort. Progress grows from practice. Students face challenge each day in reading, writing, problem solving, and collaboration. Persistence keeps learning moving forward.

Students strengthen persistence through daily habits. A student who struggles with a math concept today often masters the skill after practice and feedback. A reader who works through difficult vocabulary builds stronger comprehension. Each small step builds skill and confidence.

Teachers support persistence by setting clear learning targets and guiding students through challenge. Students ask questions. Students revise work. Students try again. This process strengthens thinking and builds independence.

Families support persistence at home through simple actions.

• Encourage your child to keep working when schoolwork feels difficult.

• Ask your child what challenge they faced during the day and how they worked through it.

• Celebrate effort and improvement, not only the final result.

Persistence prepares students for the next stage of learning. Middle school and high school demand resilience. Strong habits built today prepare students for those expectations tomorrow.

At Lochbuie Intermediate Academy our Lions show persistence every day. They read challenging texts. They solve complex problems. They collaborate with peers. Each effort moves them closer to success.

Thank you for supporting your child and our school community as we continue Roaring to Success.

Best regards,

Manuel Montano

Principal, Lochbuie Intermediate Academy

Families want a school where students feel known, challenged, and supported. Lochbuie Intermediate Academy delivers all three. Our school serves students in grades four through eight. This structure builds a clear pathway from upper elementary into middle school. Students grow in one community with consistent expectations and strong relationships.

Strong academics drive daily learning. Students study English Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies every day. Teachers focus on clear learning targets and strong instruction. Students read closely. Students write often. Students solve complex math problems. Teachers push students to explain thinking and work together to solve problems.

Our transition to the Gradient Learning platform strengthens this work. Teachers design lessons around clear topics, tasks, targets, and texts. Students read, think, talk, and write in every classroom. Learning moves beyond worksheets. Students analyze ideas, solve problems, and work with classmates to deepen understanding.

Students also explore interests through electives and programs. Middle school students choose from art, painting, ceramics, music, band, keyboarding, and ukulele. STEM and robotics classes build problem solving and design skills. Physical Education and health support active and healthy habits.

Athletics give students another way to belong. Fall sports include football, boys soccer, and cross country. Winter sports include boys basketball, girls basketball, and wrestling. Spring sports include track and girls soccer. These teams build teamwork, discipline, and school pride.

Clubs and activities extend learning beyond the school day. Students participate in choir, robotics, and new programs planned for the coming year. These experiences build confidence and leadership.

Our school culture centers on PRIDE. Perseverance. Respect. Integrity. Diversity. Excellence. Students learn how to work hard, treat others well, and take ownership of learning. Staff members build strong relationships with students and families. Students know adults care about progress and success.

Lochbuie Intermediate Academy continues to grow. Seventh grade launched this year. Eighth grade opens next year. Families who choose Lochbuie join a school building momentum and opportunity for students.

Registration for the upcoming school year is open now. Families complete registration online through the same system used each year. Questions or tour requests welcome at 303 536 2400.
