What is Happening at Arcohe? ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ ATTENTION 4th through 8th GRADE PARENTS: Students from ARCOHE SCHOOL are invited to participate in Sacramento State’s Academic Talent Search (ATS) Program, which provides current 4th-9th graders the opportunity to attend challenging, unique, and fun summer courses in a collegiate environment. ATS is a non-profit program that offers over 120 courses each summer in both traditional and non-traditional subjects that are specially designed for two age groups: grades 6-9 and grades 4-5. Over the past 30 years, more than 37,500 students have participated in ATS. To automatically qualify to apply to ATS, students take the ATS Qualifying Exam (College Ability Test). ARCOHE SCHOOL will be offering the exam on THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 2012. Testing gives students the opportunity to attend classes in a wide range of subject areas they enjoy. For more information about signing up to take the test, contact RANDA GREGORIO at 209-748-2609 X509 or gregorio@arcohe.net Each summer, more than 2,000 students take the opportunity to meet like-minded and motivated peers at ATS. Older students appreciate the opportunity to develop independence and responsibility, as ATS students have access to University facilities, like the library, student union, and bookstore. A variety of subject areas are available for students in grades 6-9, including engineering, computer science, performing arts, law, mathematics, sciences, and many more. In some ATS math and foreign language classes, students can learn a year’s worth of material in just five weeks. ATS recommends high school credit in some cases. Students in grades 4-5 participate in compelling week-long courses designed to expand their knowledge and encourage their curiosity. Classes in chemistry, algebra, creative writing, engineering, critical thinking, and foreign languages are only a few of the offerings available to this age group. Last year, ATS granted over $42,000 in financial support to students. Please discuss this opportunity with your student and look for yellow signup forms coming home with your students either Monday Jan 99th or Tuesday Jan 10th.
