Arcadia High School is fortunate to have embedded school time after 6th period on Thursdays (THRIVES) for students to receive extra support from teachers.  This Thursday, 8/27, and next Thursday, 9/3, we will be on a THRIVES schedule but all students with a 6th hour will be required to stay in 6th hour until 2:20pm.   During THRIVES time, on those days, students will be taught about the importance of THRIVES moving forward.

Specifically, we will be discussing strategies for academic success as well as having a lesson on goal setting (8/27) and the importance of Thrives and how best to utilize Thrives on September 3rd. On Thursday 9/10 we will be on a normal THRIVES schedule.  We hope that all students will stay on campus during THRIVES throughout the year.   Go Titans!
