I'm trying to make up an excuse for Jaune and Ruby to get into Adam West Batman style antics around Vale.
Maybe they are trying to make a superhero film for a Public Relations unit and somehow through an odd series of events people think it's legit?
I dunno, this crack is a bit of a stretch Maybe I should write this myself. I've poured this much into this idea already…

They made a short film, (short as in half an hour, which is about six times the length of the average short film but a quarter of feature length,) it's a superhero movie about the duo: Arc-Man and the Blooming Rose (WIP), who fight criminals in Vale. In the film, they investigate a series of robberies and Connect it to the Pancake Queen, played by Nora, who intended to turn Vale into the Queendom of Pancake, unite the criminal elements and sloths under her banner, and make Vale's only successful export pancakes and syrup, which she had invested major stocks in. They also make a comic issue and "Arc-Signal" as promotional material.
The night after the viewing, the Arc-Signal is lit up for some reason, and the duo investigate in costume (they were celebrating)
Apparently, the Blooming Rose was caught rescuing a Vale citizen from a mugging, (Jaune stares at a sheepish Ruby) and Vale PD is asking for help with potential criminal activity.
It turns out to be the White Fang. And due to the duo "busting in" (Jaune tripped and fell into the building from the skylight they were spying from, Ruby jumped in afterwards), the White Fang panic, letting Arc-Man and the Blooming Rose take them down with the ease of actual superheroes.
(How does pre Volume 4 Jaune and a Ruby probably without her main weapon take on an entire White Fang cell? Maybe Pyrrha has exacting standards when she trains Jaune. Maybe it's an AU where there was an extra school year between Volume 1 & 2. Maybe the White Fang were just that rattled. Maybe it's Maybelline.)
Anyway, after that resounding success, they continue to get called on, and the duo are too embarrassed to not show or explain.
As for secret identities within Beacon?
JNPR is super supportive, constantly creating alibis and Pyrrha ramping up Jaune's training.
Yang doesn't know, and doesn't believe when first told, but when she does learn laughs really hard then becomes both a PT for Ruby (like Pyrrha is for Jaune) and drives them around until Jaune can get an Arc-Cycle/Arc-Mobile.
Blake wants to join in to fight the White Fang extremists but also doesn't want to wear a tight costume (no matter how much anyone (Yang) does want her to wear one.) After running off to investigate the White Fang by herself one too many times, being placed on house arrest by Glynda, Blake gets relegated to the Girl in The Chair. A desk, a book, a laptop and some tuna sushi either in Beacon's library or sometimes Vale's comm tower.
Weiss… dobs them in the first chance she gets to try and curb the nonsense. When that doesn't work, it takes a second crisis event to break and become the Lucius Fox equivalent. (Lucius Fox is Batman's Armourer/Supplier in some continuities.)
Glynda never believes or is in denial. Mainly because Jaune is supposedly involved and she has too much faith in his sanity and too little in his combat ability compared to his peers and trained, armed criminals. Which, fair.
Ozpin acts like he doesn't know most of the time. But it's kinda obvious he finds the whole thing freaking hilarious.
Also the "Arc-Base/Arc-Cave" is a garage/warehouse somewhere out of the way in Vale on the side facing Patch or Ansel/Jaune's home, where the Arc-stuff is held and is normally accessed by "hidden entrances" or the Rocket Lockers.
