Before School Program Application
Goal: Diplomat Middle School will be operating a Before 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 until
school starts each day. 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, they will also be able to read, work on homework
assignments or socialize with friends in the bleachers. 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 school program.
Days of Operation:
Our program will follow the Lee County School District calendar.
