In 2011, the Arcade Fundamental Middle School community came together to develop a strategic plan for the school.
Mission
Building on a foundation of academic excellence, strong personal character, and community, the mission of the Arcade Fundamental Middle School family is to ensure a quality education that prepares each student to lead throughout life by cultivating creativity, critical thinking, and communication skills through rigorous, innovative instruction in a safe, engaging, and dynamic environment.
Objectives
By 2013 50% of Arcade students will develop and demonstrate leadership skills by participating in leadership building activities or programs. This number will increase to 100% by 2015.
By 2015 we will enable all students to apply creativity, critical thinking, and communication skills through project-based learning activities.
By 2012 all students will develop and consistently demonstrate the character traits necessary to actively participate and contribute as caring members of their school and community.
By 2015 we will reduce the number of students who are not performing at the proficient or advanced levels in all subject areas by at least 50%.
By 2012 we will develop outreach programs to enhance our community visibility and increase interaction opportunities.
