Sophomores will be participating in the Pre-ACT on Wednesday, October 15th, at 9 AM. Please make sure they are well-rested and on time to school to take this valuable and important assessment! This test helps give them an understanding of their progress toward goals with the ACT and helps the school understand progress as well. This data will help drive how instruction is shaped to meet our students' needs, so accurate data through best efforts is needed. Even if a student does not believe they have plans that would necessarily be impacted by the ACT, it is helpful for many life decisions. Thank you for your help in encouraging our students to do their very best!
Go Mustangs!
8th and 9th graders will be taking the pre-Act on Tuesday, October 14th, and the 10th grade will take it on Wednesday. Tuesday's tests will begin at 9. Please make sure students are well rested and ready to go. This not only helps provide data to understand how students are progressing toward the ACT, but it will help us with decisions in instruction throughout the year. Thank you for
helping us in our efforts to see students succeed.
Everyone enjoy fall break!

It is important to share good things happening at Arkoma Middle School. We have had some amazing work from students lately, especially in the realm of science. In one picture, you will see Mr. Wells's 7th grade science class exploring the acidity and alkalinity of different kinds of beverages using test strips. In the other two pictures, you will note 8th grade students from Mrs. Riechmann's science classes. They won the contest in their respective classes for creating "Newton" cars. Students were given specific parameters to utilize given materials to create propelled cars. As our students participate in hands-on learning using project-based and group learning, they are excelling in their studies of STEM disciplines. We are excited to educate the engineers and scientists of tomorrow!
