The Carson After School Corner
RCMS After School Corner
We are so excited for after school activities to begin in September. Rachel Carson Middle School offers a robust afterschool program, offering a diverse range of activities and intramural sports for our students. You can learn more about our After School program on the RCMS Website. In order for students to participate in our after school program, parents must fill out the After School Registration Form. This form gives your child permission to participate in after school activities, it does not sign them up for specific activities. Students staying after school are expected to follow the FCPS SR&R Code of Conduct.
INTEREST MEETINGS
Only clubs that require tryouts, applications, or testing will meet during the week of September 9th- September 12th (See schedule below). These meetings will be INTEREST MEETINGS where club sponsors and Mr. Barrows will explain the tryout or application process, and students can ask any questions they have. All other clubs offered are drop-in, meaning students can simply show up on any given day and participate. These clubs will begin Monday September 16th and the final schedule will be available the first week of September. Late buses will be provided for students staying after school for interest meetings the week of Sept 9th-12th except on Friday September 13th. There are no late buses on Fridays. Late buses arrive at 4:30, however students can be picked up anytime by a parent.
