Dear Middle School Parent(s),

After School opportunities for middle school students are briefly summarized in the enclosed information. Students have options in Extra-curricular Athletics and Arts, Clubs, and daily Academic Extra-help per individual teacher schedule. Some fee – based Instructional classes will also be available. Supervised Study and Homework areas are part of our Extended Care program. Extended Care additionally offers supervised, informal Basketball and Football on our playground. An hourly charge is applied for use of Extended Care.

The Cycle II Instructional Classes scheduled to begin the week of November 30 are Art (a supply fee may apply), Yoga for Middle School Students, Middle School Performance Skills, Video Game Design, and Robotics, which will allow students to build robots that will complete specific tasks. The proposed schedule and fees are included in this notification. Classes will only be offered if a minimum required enrollment is met. Enrollment forms are due by November 23.

The Extended Care supervised study -supervised playground  offering is for students needing to stay later than the normal 3:10 school day and choosing not to enroll in  instructional classes, participate in a school sponsored extra-curricular activity, or attend a curriculum-related extra-help session. It is available on a daily basis. Students attending extra-help sessions, test make-up, or after school clubs must also report for supervision to  the supervised study – supervised playground area if not immediately picked up when their after school activity ends.

REMINDER:  Students remaining after 3:30 p.m. must be in a University Middle School approved program – extra-help; club; athletics; fine arts; instructional class; or Extended Care. Extended Care fees of $10 per hour will be applied from a start time of 3:30 P.M. The Extended Care supervised study - playground areas close at 5:20 P.M. All students must be picked up by 5:30 p.m. Pick ups are made from the parking lot on the north side of the building (grade 6 drop-off and pick-up area) adjacent to the playground. A $10 PER MINUTE charge is assessed for pick- ups after 5:30 p.m.

Thank you,
