Arkport Central School's Richard P. Chubon Chapter of the National Honor Society hosted a fundraiser to raise money for C.U.R.E., a Childhood Cancer Association.

Mrs. Dutcher, C.U.R.E's development coordinator, accepted the money on behalf of the childhood cancer association.
ACS bus involved in minor accident
This afternoon, an Arkport Central School District bus returning from a field trip was involved in an accident. Wayland Fire Department and Emergency Response Teams responded. Emergency services medically cleared all students on the scene.
The Arkport Central School District wants to thank the Wayland Fire Department, Emergency Services, and the faculty and staff of Arkport for their quick and efficient response today.
We would also like to thank all the parents affected for your patience. Your cooperation ensured we were able to follow our safety procedures effectively.
We are happy to report that the students on the bus are safe and reunited with their families.
Ninth grade earth science and college biology classes rafted through Letchworth State Park. As they paddled down the river, students experienced the local geology and ecology. Did you know that Letchworth is known as the “Grand Canyon of the East”? The Genesee River roars through the gorge over three major waterfalls, surrounded by lush forests, making it one of the most scenically magnificent areas in the eastern U.S.
On Tuesday, May 9, 6:00 p.m., there will be a budget hearing, with the board of education meeting immediately following. It will be held in the chorus room; the public is welcome to attend.

This past weekend Ibrahim Ford hit the qualifying time to compete at the New Balance Outdoor Nationals in the freshman mile. The time to beat was 4:37.50 and he ran 4:37.22 - an elite time for a 9th grader! Ibrahim currently ranks 6th in NYS for all freshman and is 3rd in school history!
Thank you to Sammy, Payton, Corbin, and Mya for doing a fantastic job with morning announcements in April!
Adopted from Lollipop Farms, JoJo became the animal science program’s first pet. Deciding she needed a better habitat, seventh grade students worked in teams to create a design that would meet the requirements to keep JoJo healthy. After completing their project plans, they voted to select the best habitat to meet JoJo’s needs. Congratulations to the team who received the most votes: Jasmine King, Mackenzie Liles and Tabby Derrenbacker!
Students in Miss Shutt’s sixth grade science class charted the characteristics and observations of different rock types, especially when conducting an acid test. As they continue exploring to find out why some rocks bubbled when reacting with acid, they’re learning that science really rocks!
Do you know what the national animal of Scotland is? Well, some of the teams from last week's first-ever Student Government Trivia night had that answer and many more! The trivia night was open to the public, and we had twelve teams of four. Fun was definitely had by all! Keep on the lookout for trivia nights returning next school year.
