Lanier After-School FAQ
What is
Lanier's After-School Program?
Lanier's After-School program
consists of a diverse set of club offerings, including recreation, social, life
skills and academic enrichment activities. In addition, staying after to
receive academic assistance from your classroom teacher is considered part of
the after-school program. Unlike Elementary SACC programs, students
choose specific clubs of interest and attend on those meeting dates.
When are
activities offered?
Clubs and activities are offered
5 days a week from 2:30 - 4:30PM (some activities may end after 4:30PM).
Late buses are available on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday at 4:30PM.
Parent Pick-up is required on Tuesdays and Fridays as well as after 4:30
on late bus days (Monday, Wednesday, Thursday).
When do
clubs and activities begin?
Late bus transportation begins on
Monday, September 24th. Clubs and
activities will also begin during the week of September 24th and new clubs will
be added during the school year. Please refer to the After-School Calendar
(available on the Lanier After-School website) for the most up-to-date
information on club meetings.
How do I
sign-up for clubs?
Many clubs do not require student
sign-up (just attend on scheduled dates!). Clubs that require sign-up or
commitment will have either an online sign-up or paper sign-up (distributed to
students during lunch).
When can I
sign-up for clubs?
A weekly News You Choose message will be sent out with information
about clubs and activities beginning September 4th.
Club information (schedules and descriptions) will be added to the
Lanier After-School website on an ongoing basis beginning September 4th.
Sign-up for clubs that require commitment or have limited space will also be
posted to this website as they become available.
How many
clubs can I sign-up for?
Students can attend as many
after-school programs as they like as long as they don't meet at the same time
on the same day. Some clubs meet for a set number of weeks and require
student commitment. Other clubs have a set number of spaces or require a
student tryout to participate.
Can I start
an After-School Club?
Students can work with Mr. Dejo,
the After-School Program Specialist, to begin a club! Students who are
interested in starting a club should complete the Lanier ASP Club
Proposal Form (available on the Lanier website). Once this form is completed and is
received by Mr. Dejo, it will be reviewed and possible next steps will be
discussed.
How much
does it cost to participate in After-School Activities?
After-School activities are
funded through a grant from the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors. The
program is free although there may be nominal fees (~$20 )associated with
certain clubs that compete or have material costs. These fees are associated
with less than 10% of the activities we offer.
