On Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays (except on half‐days, unscheduled early release days, or the day before a school holiday), students have the opportunity to practice leadership skills and improve their abilities in academic, musical, and athletic endeavors. In addition, specific activities in the visual and performing arts and environmental opportunities will also be offered. Under the supervision of a supportive, caring, and competent professional staff member or volunteer, a student will often develop an avocation that will remain in a life‐long interest and source of enjoyment. The After‐School Activities Program is supported by the availability of transportation. On Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, two activity buses depart at 4:30 pm. Students must obtain an activity bus pass from the sponsor of the activity and present it to the bus driver. Students will not be allowed to take the activity bus without this pass. In addition, students who are absent the day of an after‐
school or evening activity may not participate in the activity. Please note: if your child does not ride the activity bus and will have another form of transportation home, it is imperative that your child is picked up at the dismissal time of 4:30 pm. If you think that transportation cannot make it by the 4:30 pm pick up time, please secure another ride home for your child. If transportation becomes a chronic issue, your child may be asked to not participate in the after‐
school activity until proper transportation is provided. Academic Eligibility Extracurricular Activities (ECA) Fee ~ Collection Procedures ~ The MCPS policy establishing eligibility standards for participation in extracurricular activities is very clear (Policy IQD, Regulation IQR‐RD for Middle School Students). In summary, it reads: “Students in grades 6‐12 must maintain a 2.0 grade point average with no more than one “E” in the previous marking period to be eligible to participate in the listed activities. A student’s report card will state whether he/she is eligible for extracurricular activities. The policy will not apply to 1st quarter for 6th grade students or any student entering MCPS schools for the first time. It also does not apply to students engaged in activities which are extensions of a graded course.” Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) requires a fee for all middle school and high school students interested in participating in extracurricular activities. This yearly fee of $32.50 covers all activities that a student may choose to participate in during the school year. An extracurricular activity is defined as any activity for which there is an adult supervising students beyond the instructional day in a school‐sponsored activity. *A fee is not required for students receiving academic assistance such as homework clubs and math help. Per MCPS policy, only 7th and 8th grade students may participate in interscholastic sports activities. All students may participate in intramural activities. Pre‐printed ECA forms are sent home in the mail, but are also available in the main office or on the MCPS website at: http://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/departme
nts/forms/pdf/280‐37.pdf. Payment should be sent directly to the address listed on the form. DO NOT SEND PAYMENT TO THE SCHOOL. There will be no refunds. For more information, please visit: www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/departments/ac
