Hi, I am Mrs. Arnot! I have been teaching 7th & 8th-grade math at Kennedy Middle School for 3 years. I specialize in helping students develop a growth mindset and turn challenges into opportunities. My favorite part of teaching is watching students gain confidence as they master new concepts. Fun fact: I love puzzles and use them often to make learning interactive!

In our classroom, we prioritize:

Respect for ourselves, others, and our learning space.

Taking responsibility for our actions and learning.

Supporting each other through collaboration and perseverance.
Together, we’ll make every day a chance to grow!

I believe in keeping families informed and involved. Here is how we will stay connected:

Weekly emails summarizing what we have learned and upcoming activities.

Access to our classroom website for assignments, resources, and announcements.

Parent-teacher conferences available by appointment.

At Kennedy Middle School, we emphasize collaboration between teachers, families, and the community. I’ll host events like Family Math Nights to showcase student progress and provide opportunities for open communication. Together, we’ll build a network that supports your child both academically and socially.

Research shows that students perform better academically and socially when their families are engaged in their education. Your involvement builds a bridge between home and school, helping students feel supported and motivated to achieve their best.
