Before/After School Program Application
Goal: Diplomat Middle School will be operating a Before and After School
Program for our students. This program will
provide working parents an opportunity for their child to arrive on campus as
early as 7:30 a.m. and be in an atmosphere which is safe, orderly, and productive
as late as 6:00 p.m. The Before School Program will take place in the Gymnasium
each morning that school is in session. Students
will be supervised in the Gym and can play basketball, four square or other
organized games with friends. Our After
School Program will take place in a classroom, and will allow students the
opportunity to read, work on homework assignments or socialize with friends
while playing games. Because this is an extension of our
regular school day, all Diplomat Middle School rules apply, and the SDLC Code
of conduct will be followed. Cell phones and/or AirPods or other listening type
devices are NOT permitted in the before or after school programs.
Days of Operation: Our program will follow the Lee County School District calendar.
