After School Programs
Lanier Middle School is committed to promoting active participation in extracurricular activities to support the academic mission and enrich the lives of students. Students who engage in these programs are more likely to develop positive attitudes towards school, achieve full academic potential, and become productive citizens. Students are encouraged to maintain a balance between their instructional studies, after-school activities, and other outside interests.
Student Responsibilities
Students should contact the activity sponsor for a schedule of events related to their program. All required schedule adjustments will be noted during morning/afternoon announcements and/or on WLTV. Students are reminded to make prior arrangements with their teacher and notify parents (24 hours) before staying after school for academic assistance. Students are not permitted to exit the building prior to reporting for an after school activity. If students are present on the bus ramp or in the kiss and ride area at the regular departure time, they will be expected to proceed home in the established timely manner. Participants should report to the activity sponsor by 3:00 p.m. and a list of students staying after school for an approved extracurricular activity will be sent to the attendance officer. Only these students will receive late bus transportation. Students attempting to board late buses without such approval will be subject to disciplinary action.
Activity Priority
After school programs have been expanded to a five day schedule to help alleviate potential conflicts and allow students an opportunity to access a broader range of offerings. If a conflict exists, students should honor their commitment for academic assistance in their core or high school credited subjects (math, science, social studies, english, or foreign language) followed by assigned detentions, assistance in other subject areas, and then enrichment programs.
After Hours Emergency Contacts
The main office is available to answer phone calls until 4 PM Monday thru Friday. If your child is considerably late in returning home on a late bus from an after-school activity, please contact the Office of Transportation Services at (703) 446-2000. After 5 PM, please direct your emergencies to School Security Services at (703) 764-2400. For additional questions or concerns about after-school activities, voicemail messages left before 6:00 PM for Julio Dejo will typically be answered the same day.
