Has a principal made a positive impact in your life?
Take a moment to ask your student about their principal—
you might be surprised by what they share!

This year, students in Ms. Creager's AP Computer Science Principles class at AHS stepped away from their screens for a hands-on activity in "code building." Using binary code, they creatively constructed words—bringing digital concepts into the physical world.

Members of the Angola Middle School Lighthouse Team helped bring the spirit of College Go Week to life by creating a vibrant hallway display. The display featured pep flags decorated by students with their teachers' college colors and mascots

Mrs. Burlingame at Hendry Park is taking the nerves out of the spelling tests. Each week, her class will host a local "celebrity". The guest will give the spelling test based on what the class learned that week. The 1st week, Officer Noll came in, and the kids LOVED having a new face help them with their test. They also got to ask questions about his job when they were done.

In celebration of Constitution Week, the High School Media Center partnered with the Pokagon Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution to offer free pocket Constitutions to students and staff. A curated selection of books highlighting the American Revolution and our Nation’s founding documents is on display throughout the week and available for checkout in the media center.

While today may have been foggy, the weather was much clearer last week when 4th graders from Hendry Park Elementary visited Pokagon for Soil and Water Conservation Day

Arts in Education Week Spotlights Angola Middle School!
AMS students with a creative spirit can thrive in our Art, Drama, Choir, and Band programs. Whether painting, performing, singing, or playing an instrument, there's a place for every student to express themselves.

Arts in Education Week - Celebrating Creativity at AHS
Whether you're a musician, actor, or visual artist, Angola High School offers a variety of courses to let your creativity flow. Explore the vibrant classroom experiences that bring these artistic passions to life!

The Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) requires that all students in grades 3-8 participate in three ILEARN Checkpoints in addition to the ILEARN summative assessment in the spring each year. These Checkpoints are a component of the ILEARN through-year assessment for English/Language Arts (ELA) and Math. The window for the first Checkpoint opens the last week of September.

The Checkpoints occur seasonally in fall, winter, and spring, with an optional retest opportunity window opening concurrently. Each Checkpoint has 20-25 questions to show how an individual child is performing on key skills and concepts from the Indiana Academic Standards. Families may refer to the link below, which provides a flyer for each grade level, outlining the skills and concepts that will be assessed for each Checkpoint.

Following all fall testing, your child's school will send you an email with directions to access the new Family Portal, where you will be able to access your child's results. Make sure your email is up to date in Final Forms so you can get your Family Portal access code following the test window.

We appreciate our IT department for their vital role in keeping our technology running smoothly. From maintaining computers, networks, and internet access to supporting digital learning tools and safeguarding data, they ensure that students, teachers, and administrators have the reliable technology they need to succeed every day. Their work behind the scenes powers our learning environment and keeps our school connected, secure, and innovative.

This week, we celebrate Arts in Education Week and honor the art educators who bring visual and performing arts to our schools! Thank you for sharing your talent and passion with our students.
