Where the Keys to Learning Come to LifeTM
As the school year comes to an end I want to tell all of you how much I enjoy serving as your principal here at Arcado! This is a great school! The teachers and staff are passionate about education, our students are hard working, kind, caring young people, and our families are supportive and generous.
Our end of year test results have arrived and our students are achieving higher than they ever have before!! I have been celebrating with the teachers and students the exceptional achievement!
As I sit here at my desk listening to the hussle and bussle of the school day around me I know that in just a week it will be very quiet around here. That makes me sad in a way. I love hearing and seeing student learning in action. However, I know that summertime can be a special time for families and you deserve that time together. I hope you have a restful, happy, adventurous summer filled with moments that create lastng memories for you and your family.
It is an honor to serve this wonderful Arcado community!
Warmly,
Ms. Young
Continental Mathematics League is a problem solving competition consisting of 3 meets for 3rd grade throughout the year. This competition helps improve math and reading skills.
Arcado’s third grade team is made up of our 18 advanced content math students. These students placed 3rd in the state of GA with 100 total points. We were 8 points behind Westminster, the first place team, who scored a perfect score in all three meets with a total 108. So now we know who the team to beat is for next year!
Individually, Leo Xu, tied for 1st place in the United States. He is one of five students from GA to earn this impressive honor with a perfect overall individual score of 18.
Congratulations to our third grade team and Leo Xu! We are proud of you!!
