SPARTAN SHIELD

The time for the Promotion Ceremony has been adjusted. Doors will open at 9:15 A.M. and students will arrive at 9:15 A.M. The ceremony will begin promptly at 10:00 A.M.

Please read these important details:

• 8th graders will not come to campus on May 31; they will report straight to the Arcade Church. The last day that 8th graders are expected on campus is Thursday, May 30th. Eighth-grade students may attend school on June 3rd and 4th, but they will have already promoted, so they do not have to attend.

• While we hold our Promotion Ceremony at the Arcade Church, there are no religious or spiritual aspects to our ceremony. The Arcade Church simply has an auditorium and parking lots that can accommodate all of our students and families for this event.

• 8th graders must report to the Gym at 9:15 A.M.. Please see the map above of the venue. There will be signage directing students to the gym.

• 8th graders will check in with their assigned teacher.

• If any 8th graders arrive after 9:45 A.M., they may miss the procession (this is when students enter with special music and a slide show plays as the crowd claps for them). They will still be able to participate in the remainder of the ceremony.

• Please do not bring balloons or other items that may block another family behind you from seeing their student. The venue does not allow balloons inside. We ask that you not bring them or leave them in your vehicle.

• All 8th graders will be recognized during the ceremony, but will not walk across the stage, as they do at graduation. "Crossing the stage" is a special part of graduations, which we honor at the end of students' high school careers. Students who win an individual award will be called to the stage.

• Please see the map above for parking and be aware of the no parking areas.

There is a video message from Principal McManigal regarding Promotion. Please watch the video below.

Our final School Site Council meeting will be Monday, May 20th in Room 21 from 3:00 - 4:00 P.M.

The agenda can be found here.

The minutes from our last meeting can be found here.

All are welcome to attend, as this is a public meeting. Please join us!

Please help your student prepare by reminding them of these important details:

• Students must arrive by 8:00 A.M.
• Students are only allowed to bring the school sack lunch into the park; no other food is allowed inside.

• If students are purchasing lunch, rather than eating the school lunch, students must bring cash, which they can turn into a pre-paid card at a kiosk. (Six Flags is not taking cash at food places right now, but there are machines in the park that will put their money on a card to use.)
• Students will be back at Arcade at 7:30 P.M. Please be sure to make arrangements to pick up your student promptly upon their return.

Thank you!

Please return your library books, class sets for English, history textbooks, and Chromebooks! You may return any textbooks, books, or Chromebooks from previous schools to the Arcade Library.

Arcade follows the Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) framework, which creates an environment that allows all students to thrive. As part of that framework, teachers acknowledge students who are exhibiting Spartan Strong behaviors, being kind, safe, and responsible, by giving them a Spartan Strong ticket.

A raffle is held every week using these tickets, and Spartan Strong winners are announced on Fridays. The lucky winners then pick out a prize in the office. You can watch the announcement of the winners in the video below!

Thank you, Spartans, for being kind, safe, and responsible!

We have one more raffle left! It is the Quarter 4 raffle with some really amazing prizes!
