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!

Yearbooks are now on sale in the front office! $25 each. Use the QR code or link below to order. You can pay in the office with exact cash or a check. Checks made payable to Arcade Middle School.
