Ice Cream Social is Thursday Aug 29th at 7:00pm at the football field! We will kick off football season by introducing players and cheerleaders from elementary, junior high and high school teams! This is a free event so hope to see everyone there! If you would like to donate pre-packaged, individually wrapped ice cream of any type please bring it to the elementary school by next Wednesday the 28th. Anything that does not go that night will be a fundraiser for the high school cheer squad. We appreciate everyone’s donations and can’t wait to see everyone at the ice cream social!

Thank you CIA, for help getting our student athletes a much needed scoreboard at the softball and baseball field. It was a much needed addition to the student athletes efforts on the field. Thank you very much for all you do—Cyal Walden

Many times we are asked why the elementary is named Singleton Elementary. Thank you to the Singleton Family for donating this plaque that shares our school’s history. We will display it proudly!

Due to the School Improvement process we are undergoing, teachers are required to have additional professional development weekly. In order for this to happen, we will have EARLY RELEASE every Wednesday at 2:00pm. After a few adjustments to our school calendar, we will still meet all state attendance requirements. We hope that this will also give an afternoon for appointments in light of our new attendance policy. Thank you in advance for working with us to improve Arkoma Schools.
