Mission Statement
Principal's Message
Hello! My name is Dr. Joey Mata and I’m honored and humbled to serve the West Covina community as the principal of Walnut Grove. I know WGIS is a special place and a school community clearly on the rise: its record of accomplishment speaks for itself. What a time to be a Hawk!
Walnut Grove is committed to doing right by our students and meeting their academic and social-emotional needs. We embrace the goal of having each Hawk reach their fullest potential as scholars and members of the larger West Covina community. We know this only happens in schools where students feel valued, connected, and supported. Walnut Grove is that type of school and I am proud to lead the talented and dedicated team of educators and staff that make this a reality.
We look forward to working in partnership with you and celebrating your students’ successes as well as providing support in times of struggle. Always remember: we’re in this together. Please do not hesitate to let us know if we can ever be of service.
Sincerely,
Dr. Joey Mata

Welcome
Hello there! Welcome to Walnut Grove Intermediate’s Library/Media Center Website!
If you are a student and would like to check out a book, please visit our Media Center on the east side of campus. You may check out up to two (2) books at a time, and books are loaned out to students for six weeks each. After choosing the books you want, bring them to Mr. Gonzalez in the Media Center, provide him with your Student ID number, and those books will be yours for both assigned and at home reading!
Thank you for visiting our page, and as always if you have any questions about our selection of reading material, or want to suggest a new title/series, please feel free to visit me in the Media Center and give me the name of the titles, as well as the proper Author. All materials must be school and age-appropriate.
If you experience Chromebook issues, please do not hesitate to bring your Chromebook to the Media Center between 7:45am-8:15am, during Lunch, or politely ask your teacher if you may be allowed to visit the Media Center to have your Chromebook inspected.
