Thank you for Being Spartan Strong!

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.

Congratulations to our winners!

In addition, every Friday, we run a student store that exchanges Spartan Tickets for snacks! This is another opportunity for students to use their tickets they've earned for being kind, safe, and responsible.

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

Elica Mobile Clinics

Immediate care available. Services are available by appointment or walk-ins.
