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.
- The after school program is NOT available on early dismissal days.
- Hours of Operation:
- 7:30 a.m. – 9:15 a.m.
- 4:15 p.m. – 6:00 p.m.
Students are NOT permitted at school before 9:15 a.m. OR After school beyond dismissal unless they are paid
participants in the Before/After School Program.
Enrollment: Parents must complete a DMS Student Before/After School Program enrollment form to
register their child. There is a $25.00 ONLINE non-refundable enrollment fee per student
which covers registration for both programs.
Student Fees:
- Non-refundable enrollment fee of $25.00 for the Before and After School Program.
- $55.00 flat fee per student per week for before school.
- $30 flat fee per student per week for
after school.

- Flat rate will be
prorated for shortened weeks based on the current SDLC calendar.
- A $1.00 per minute late
fee will be charged for after school pick up beyond 6:00 p.m.
Payment: Payments for before/after school MUST always be made ONLINE in advance of
beginning service. This means that ALL tuition fees are due to be paid ONLINE prior
to the participating week. Late fees will be applied each week for payments that are
not on time.
Eligibility: The DMS Student Before School Program is open to all DMS 6th, 7th, and 8th graders. Students with five or more discipline referrals per quarter must obtain administration approval.
Program Rules: A priority at Diplomat Middle School is that our atmosphere is safe and orderly for everyone.
This Fee Based program is an extension of Diplomat Middle's regular school day and the Lee
County School District Code of Conduct will be followed for all discipline issues. Use of CELL
PHONES and AirPods is prohibited.
** Any referrals in the Before/after School Program can
result in suspension or removal from the program
Disclaimer: This Fee Based program will remain available provided sufficient enrollment and
resources. Due to the fee-based nature of our program, Diplomat Middle will require a
minimum attendance in order to meet expenses for running this service. In the event we do
not have sufficient enrollment, parents will be notified, and the program will be closed until
a later date.
