Due to the water break and no water at the campus, we will dismiss at 9:30am. Buses will run routes starting at 9:30 as well. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Parents: we have been informed that the water may potentially be shut off. We will conduct classes as long as we have water. We are closely monitoring the situation. If we lose water, we will run buses and dismiss accordingly. Please watch for updates throughout the day.
Thank you,
Shelly Harmon

Hello Arkoma!
My name is Sam Waganer. I will be teaching 5th grade Math and Grammar/English Language Arts.
I graduated with a master’s degree in Teaching English to Speakers of other Languages (TESOL) from Arkansas Tech University in 2018.
I have tutored/taught English at the University of Arkansas Fort Smith and the Literacy Council of Western Arkansas.
I am really looking forward to being a part of the Arkoma community, working with fellow teachers and staff, parents and students, as well as, others in the community. In addition, I am excited to learn what makes Arkoma special and doing my best to add to it. Let’s have a wonderful school year!
Evening Enrollment this Thursday from 3-6 at the elementary!

Welcome kindergarten teacher, Cierra Simpson. Cierra earned a Bachelors Degree in Rehab Science (‘18) and a Masters Degree in Education with an emphasis in applied behavior analysis (‘21). She has 6 years of experience in early childhood intervention in direct applied behavior analysis therapy. She believes this will benefit her position as a first year kindergarten teacher by allowing her to view the behaviors of each student at a different perspective. This will allow her to become creative in finding new classroom management missions/plans. Mrs. Simpson states "What may work for student A, might not work for student B and that’s okay - being flexible is an everyday essential! " Mrs. Simpson says "School is where students go to learn… everything! Not only do we teach curriculum but we get to teach students about life. We have the opportunity to give them life experiences, social experiences, the availability to create relationships with others. Everything that we get to do as teachers, the culture of our classrooms, exposes our students to real life and that’s valuable! School is a great place for students to come into their own, to develop themselves. So, for me, I’m excited that I get the opportunity to foster a place where students feel like they can learn, grow, and pursue their passions :)
