ELAC Meeting on Wednesday, August 17th
Arcade's first English Language Advisory Committee is this week! ELAC will be held in person on Wednesday, August 17th from 6:00 - 8:00 P.M. in Room 4*.
You'll learn about services we provide to our English Learners, curriculum used in our program, and you'll be able to meet our Arcade staff. Ms. Toike, Arcade's English Language Development teacher; Mr. Tateishi, vice principal; and Ms. McManigal, principal, will be there to answer any questions you may have.
Translators will be available for Dari, Pashto, and Spanish speakers.
*The entrance to campus closest to Room 4 will be open for this event: the pedestrian gate to the right of the STEAM mural in the front of campus will open at 5:45 P.M. The closest parking to the pedestrian gate is in the front of campus or in the parking lot.
SAVE THE DATE for ARCADE'S BACK-TO-SCHOOL NIGHT
Thursday, Aug. 25th, 6-8pm
Arcade MP Room
We will kick off the event with a presentation in the MP Room, and then parents will follow their students' schedules and attend their classes. (The schedule will be released in next week's Smore.)
First PTO Meeting of the Year
Please review the school dress code with your student and help them come to school dressed for success!

Student Safety is a Priority! Please follow the Drop-Off and Pick-Up Route!!

Information about Pick-up and Drop-off
When picking up or dropping off students, please do so from the back of campus, following the map below. Edison Avenue is very busy before and after school, and it is far safer to have students enter and exit cars in the back of campus, off of the main road.
When entering and exiting the parking lot, please keep an eye out for students, who will be using both crosswalks.
For the first few days of school, please also allow some extra time for pick up and drop off, as we have many new families who'll be learning our system.
Thank you for helping keep our students safe!
BREAKFAST SERVICE BEGINS EACH MORNING AT 7:40 AM
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. Please encourage your student to start memorizing their Student ID number, so that the cafeteria line moves as quickly as possible. Students can find their Student ID numbers on their schedules, along with their lunch assignment (1st Lunch or 2nd 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.
Lunch assignments can be confusing, so all 3rd period teachers will review the process with students on the first few days of school to help ensure that all students go to lunch and their 4th period class at the proper times.
