A Message from Our Principal
Welcome to the 2026–2027 School Year!
Dear Ganado Intermediate School Families,
“Ne’niiji yiikah – Together we move forward.”
I am honored to welcome you back for another incredible academic year. As a team, we continue to live by our theme, working hand-in-hand with you to ensure your child thrives in a safe, supportive, and rigorous learning environment.
Our Progress & Commitment
We have incredible momentum celebrating our achievements:
- Consistent Excellence: Our school earned a “B” rating from the Arizona Department of Education for three consecutive years (2023–2026).
- Aiming Higher: We are actively strategizing to become an “A” school this year.
- Student First: Safety and high-quality learning remain our absolute top priorities.
Partnering for Student Success
We invite you to the planning table this year. True student success begins with daily attendance.
Every Arizona academic standard is delivered through a careful daily progression. When a student misses even a single day, they miss a foundational concept. Because of this, every absence impacts learning—even when it is excused. We need your help to ensure your child is here every day.
Upcoming First Quarter Dates
Please mark your calendars for these important upcoming events:
- July 29, 2026: Start of School
- July 30, 2026: Back-to-School Night
- August 27, 2026: Fall Parent Event
- September 2, 2026: Parent-Teacher Conferences
- October 1, 2026: End of 1st Quarter
Thank you for entrusting your children to us for another year. Together, we will move forward into a historic and successful school year!
Warm regards,
Corrina Begay
