Dear IIA Community,

It has been an incredible month at IIA. As many of you already know, our state test scores were publicly released and IIA has the top test scores in Orange County. Our students ranked #1 in both ELA and Science and #2 in math. This is an incredible accomplishment for a school that is only in its 4th year of existence and that teaches 50% of the day in Mandarin! Thank you to our entire IIA community for your hard work and dedication. This success is truly a team effort.
This month also brought several exciting events, including our Halloween Parade. It was great to see our students so excited to show off their costumes and to see all of our parents joining in the fun. Thank you to everyone for a great October! You are PANDA PAWESOME!!
