Any textbooks, library books, or Chromebooks from previous schools also need to be returned to the Arcade library.

Thank you so much!

Please help us by not only reminding your student to drink water but also by encouraging them to eat lunch and get a good night's rest. That may help them stay healthy and happy on campus during these hot days!

Be safe, Spartans!

Dear Arcade Families,

As shared last month, San Juan Unified will be adjusting middle school boundaries at five middle schools (Arcade Fundamental, Arden, Katherine Johnson, Starr King and Winston Churchill). The proposed map webpage features the ability to toggle between the three options and each features an address look-up where residents can enter their address to see which middle school would potentially be assigned to their address (See link below.)

Three proposed middle school boundary maps are now available and the community is invited to share their feedback (click on the first red button below to view the maps and use the second red button to look up your address with the proposed boundaries).

Only one community feedback session remains! All parents, guardians, community members, and staff members are invited to attend. Register here to attend this feedback session.

• Tuesday, May 16 at 6 p.m. - Virtual meeting option
  

*SJUSD will post a recorded version of the virtual meeting for those who cannot attend. Feedback about the boundary change process can be provided at any time using this form. All feedback collected throughout the process and map recommendations are expected to be shared with the board in August 2023.*

Our after-school STEAM club will be starting with Scratch, a fun program that lets you make your own games, stories, and animations by using colorful blocks to give commands to characters and objects on the screen. You'll be able to make cool things move, make sounds, and look awesome by adding your own pictures!

We'll also be using Minecraft EDU, which is a special version of Minecraft that helps you learn about things like math, science, and history while you're playing. You'll get to use your creativity to build structures and solve problems, and even learn some coding along the way! With Minecraft EDU, you can explore different worlds, create your own games, and work with other people to build amazing things together.

STEAM Club Dates: on Mondays from April 24th - May 15th and on Tuesdays from May 23rd - May 30th.

Applications can also be downloaded and printed using this link:

Applications are available in many different languages.

Thank you!

Rio Americano High School is offering a very special summer camp opportunity for current 8th-grade students (incoming freshmen).

The camp will be hosted by the Presidents of the Rio Americano Mock Trial Team, a team that has won numerous times in the 43 years of the Mock Trial Program, most recently in 2021.

Here is a message from the President of the Mock Trial and Speech and Debate team at Rio Americano:

"I am the president of Mock Trial as well as Speech and Debate at Rio Americano, and I'm excited to share what I’ve learned along the way with your students through our Mock Trial Summer Camp! The camp will be three days (August 5-7) and focus on the basics of Mock Trial and public speaking. We will spend two days teaching students the basics of a trial: Direct and Cross-examination, objections, witness portrayal, and opening/closing statements. On the third day, students will have the opportunity to participate in their own Mock Trial and be witnesses and attorneys!

This (completely free!) camp will help students interested in Mock Trial learn more about the program, and perhaps guide curious students to a fun extracurricular. Students can also connect with like minded others from across the district before high school. I love Mock Trial, and am excited to introduce students to my passion! Any incoming freshman can participate!

The case we will be using is the People v. Cobey, a real high school Mock Trial case from the 2021-2022 school year. This case is a first degree murder or voluntary manslaughter case. In the case, Jamie Cobey is accused of killing their landlord, Erik Smith. The prosecution will argue that Cobey killed Smith by putting a Mojave rattlesnake in Smith's mailbox to avenge the death of Cobey's mother."

Any current 8th graders/incoming freshmen, regardless of the high school they are attending, can sign up now!
