After School Program Overview
Rocky Run 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.

Late buses will begin the second week of school. Late Bus Routes will be available in the cafeteria for students as soon as we receive them from Transportation. Late bus transportation is only available for those students who are eligible for bus transportation and buses are not available Tuesdays and Fridays. Late bus stops are not always the same as your child’s regular bus stop. Bus departures from Rocky Run vary between 4:00pm and 4:45pm and be aware that some routes take over an hour to complete.
Students who stay after school may walk home no earlier or later than 4:00pm. This rule is in place as a safety precaution. This helps students avoid walking alone, crossing streets alone, walking in the dark and walking during high-traffic times. Please advise your child to cross at the lights when they walk home. We will not have crossing guards for After School hours, so students must use pedestrian safety rules and stoplights to cross safely.
Students may be picked up by parents at any time. Students participating in activities beyond 4:00pm must be picked-up by a parent. However, if a student is being picked up early from an activity, the parent must come into the main office, show proper identification and sign their child out. This can be disruptive to an activity, so please keep early check-outs to a minimum. Leaving early with a friend also requires a note from the parent.
When? Sign-ups begin the second week of school..
Where? Students sign-up in the cafeteria during lunch.
No sign-up is needed for: Homework Club, Game-Time, Tuesday Basketball, Friday Soccer Club, and Open Gym. Students are welcome to talk to club sponsors or Mrs. Dejo at anytime during the year about joining a club.
All students staying after school for any reason must have a parental consent form filled out and submitted to the front office the first week of school.
Students should contact the activity sponsor to discuss club details. 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. when attendance is taken and submitted to the office staff. Only these students will receive late bus transportation. Students attempting to board late buses without such approval will be subject to disciplinary action.
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. If conflicts regarding assigned detention cannot be resolved within a two week period, teachers should contact their grade level administrator for assistance.
