SPARTAN SHIELD
ARCADE MIDDLE SCHOOL - WEEK OF OCTOBER 23, 2022
IT'S SPIRIT WEEK!!

A Few Reminders for Friday's Spooky Spartan Dance
Friday, the 28th, is our first school dance, the Spooky Spartan Dance! Come in your Halloween costume and make sure you follow the Halloween costume guidelines below.
In order to attend the dance, students must attend more than half of the school day on Friday, the 28th, and they can not be on the no-go list for disciplinary reasons. All students and families will be notified in advance of the dance if they can not attend.
Students must have these items to gain entry into the dance:
1. a signed parent permission slip
2. a 2022-23 school ID
3. $5
Optional:
Each dance admission allows students to participate one time in the Haunted Halls exhibit. Students may purchase unlimited access to the Haunted Halls exhibit for $1.
Students may also bring an additional $1-$5 to purchase items from the snack bar.

Guidelines For Dressing up for Halloween at Arcade
Celebrate Halloween and our first dance of the year by dressing up for Halloween!
We will be dressing up on Friday, October 28th at Arcade because that is the day of our dance.
Please keep these guidelines in mind when planning your school costume:
- Costumes must adhere to dress code (i.e., "zones" must be covered)
- No weapons, blood, bloody stumps, portrayal of violence or excessive gore are allowed
- No hoods or masks that covers your entire face are allowed--only masks for Covid are allowed (feel free to decorate your Covid face mask!)
- No props are allowed. For example, no handcuffs, weapons, or helmets may be used
- Be creative and have fun!
SCHOOL SITE COUNCIL MEETING
Monday, October 24th from 3:00-4:00 PM.
This is an in-person meeting at the school.
We are still looking for parent volunteers to join our School Site Council. If you are interested in helping to determine how we allocate our funds to provide services to our students, joining Site Council might be of interest to you.

Volunteer Information for 2022-2023 School Year
The San Juan Unified School District has implemented new processes and regulations for the 2022-2023 school year. Even if you have volunteered at other schools, the district is still requiring that EVERYONE who has not filled out the online form last year sign up through the online process in order to volunteer at Arcade.
If you are not sure if you filled out the online link, please email Ms. Biggs at monica.biggs@sanjuan.edu and she can check to see if you completed the form last year.
If you have not already completed the form, please go to www.sanjuan.edu/Page/725 and click on the Volunteer Verification Blue box to sign up to volunteer.

Breakfast and Lunch Remain Free to All Students
Students must simply enter their Student ID numbers in order to get a free school breakfast or lunch.
Students are assigned 1st or 2nd Lunch based on their 4th period teacher. Students who have 1st Lunch go to lunch before attending their 4th period class, while students who have 2nd Lunch go to lunch after their 4th period class. The lunch assignments by teacher are available by clicking on the red button below.
For example, if a student has Mr. Androlowicz for 4th period, they will have 1st Lunch, and they will go to lunch before attending Mr. Androlowicz's class. If a student has Mr. Alvarez for 4th period, they are assigned 2nd Lunch, and they will go to lunch after attending Mr. Alvarez's class.
Covid Testing Available for Students at Arcade
Face coverings are still required in the Covid testing area.
