Lunch Time Zoom (LTZ) has changed to Morning Time Zoom (MTZ)!
Due to hybrid scheduling, we can't continue Lunch Time Zoom at its regular time, so it is now MTZ, or Morning Time Zoom.
Any ARCADE students can join, stay as long as they want, leave whenever. It's just a time for students to hang out, chat, share their pets, talk about video games - pretty much every day is a different topic!
MTZ will be held from 10:30-11:00am every Tuesday and Thursday. The link will be posted in the Counseling GCs Tues/Thurs mornings
