Mr. Hunter planned an organized an AMAZING opportunity for students to attend OptiFab at the Rochester Riverside Convention Center. Students engaged in problem solving, hands-on experiments, and a scavenger hunt!

Students learned about Optics in physics as a very important field. Students shared how important optics is because it sheds light on the behavior and properties of light. Students learned understandings of how light is propagated, generated, and detected. Titans became scientists and heard from experts to discover a broad range of applications. Our Titans learned how optics is connected and found in photography, medicine, communication, and so much more.

This year we are bringing the Spirit Stick back for Homecoming!

Your Home Base teacher will record how many students in each grade level dressed up for the theme day. Staff members dressed up get to choose which grade level to designate their points to. ENCOURAGE YOUR TEACHERS TO DRESS UP!

The class with the most points earned through dressing up and winning relays will win the Spirit Stick! Please hype this up for maximum participation! If you have any questions, please reach out to Mrs. Mary Callahan or Mrs. Stacey Pike.

College board does not automatically uphold testing accommodations for students with IEPs or 504s. College board is an organization that connects students to college success and opportunities. It is never too early to review college board resources or participate in college board tests such as PSATs, SATs, ACTs.

If a Titan is an enrolled at Arcadia with a 504 or IEP we encourage you to complete the Collegeboard waiver. Please review the attachments below
