Parent Teacher Organization

Arcade Middle School Parent-Teacher Organization (PTO) is dedicated to enhancing and supporting the well-rounded education of Arcade's students through the efforts of parents, teachers and the greater Arcade community.

We know that by continuing to achieve Arcade PTO's mission, Arcade students will benefit from a learning environment that prepares our students for high school and beyond, as they pursue their goals as well-rounded citizens of the world.

A Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) plays a vital role in supporting a middle school by fostering collaboration between parents, teachers, and the school administration.

The current board members include PTO President, Lisa Pegos, parent to a 7th grader. The Treasurer is Linda Litka, parent to a 8th grader!

Here are some of the ways Arcade's PTO has be involved:

• academic-focus programs such as Honors Society and STEAM;

• classroom growth as reading helpers, science assistants, etc.;

• Spartan spirit and recognition activities like 8th Grade Celebration;

• PTO committees and the board, providing structure and leadership for our school community;

• family-school connections like information nights, newsletters and family events;

• student clubs and after-school programs like chess club and track;

• growth-mindset activities like Career Day;

• field education with student fee assistance and chaperones;

• new technology equipment.

PTO meetings are held on the 2nd Tuesday of each month from 7:00 P.M. to 8:00 P.M. Meetings are held in person or via Zoom. Join via Zoom here.
