Mrs. Miller's STEM class was challenged to take a single index card and figure out how they could fit through it! I'm happy to say they exceeded expectations!
On Saturday, October 31st, Atoka Senior Triegan Ridgway auditioned for the OSSBDA All-State Band and was selected as the 3rd chair tuba player. Triegan is the second student in Atoka band history to qualify for All-State in concert band. The competitive audition hosted students from 150 schools from across the state of Oklahoma in class 2A, 3A, and 4A. The clinic and All-State concert will be held in February in Oklahoma City.
Atoka High School will Host a Blood Drive on Wednesday November 4th from 8:30 am - 2:30 pm in the Family and Consumer Sciences Room.
Mrs. Miller's 8th-grade science students became forensic scientists today. As they wrapped up their DNA unit, they analyzed 6 suspects' DNA and matched it to the DNA found at a crime scene! They determined that two of the suspects were twins, and that one suspect had a gene mutation from smoking. Great job, everyone!
🌟 ONE MILLION WORDS! 🌟

Important Update Regarding the Third Meal Program
Dear Atoka Public Schools Families, Staff, and Community,
As previously shared, the Oklahoma State Department of Education ended the Expanded
Learning Time component of the CACFP At-Risk Third Meal Program effective September
30, 2026.
Our Child Nutrition staff has worked diligently to explore every available option that would
allow us to continue providing this third meal to as many students as possible. Unfortunately,
due to the requirements established by the Oklahoma State Department of Education,
beginning October 1, 2026, Atoka Public Schools may provide the third meal only to students
participating in the 21st Century After-School Program, which is housed at Atoka
Elementary School.
We understand the importance of this program to our students and families, and we are
disappointed that we are no longer able to provide the third meal in the same manner as
before.
Please know that Atoka Public Schools will continue to provide FREE breakfast and
FREE lunch to every student, every school day.
While this change is not one we wanted to make, our commitment to our students has not
changed. We will continue working to identify opportunities and resources that help ensure
our students have what they need to learn, grow, and succeed.
Atoka Public Schools remains committed to feeding, educating, supporting, and caring for the
children of our community every day.
Thank you to our families, staff, and community for your continued understanding and support
as we navigate this change and continue doing everything we can to serve our students.
With gratitude and determination,
Atoka Public Schools

The Atoka FCCLA Chapter Officers attended The Lead Conference in McAlester last Thursday. During the conference, our officers developed valuable leadership skills, learned how to effectively lead and conduct meetings, and gained new ideas for promoting leadership within our chapter. We are excited to see them bring these skills back to Atoka and use them to help our FCCLA chapter grow and succeed!
We are so proud of our officers for taking this opportunity to grow as leaders and represent Atoka FCCLA! ⭐️

Thanks to a grant from PSO, Mrs. Miller’s STEM class will be one to one with starter Drones. The students are all very excited to learn how to use these drones, and they all want to thank PSO and American Electric Power Company for the $500.00 classroom grant that allowed us to order these drones! Great things are coming to McCall Middle School STEM. #themiddlematters #PSO #AEP
McCall Middle School STEM students were challenged to make a chair. They could only use paper and tape, and the chair had to hold up at least one of our feeling stuffies! They rose to the challenge and had fun competing with each other.
