AFTER-SCHOOL ACTIVITIES |
The Middle School After-School Club/Activities Program
Buses will depart the Middle School at approximately 3:55 PM. Three activity buses will be available at AMS to accommodate the students who participate in after-school programs. Since this is not the normal schedule, please make sure your child knows his/her bus stop and bus number. A bus schedule is attached for your information. If students do no follow school rules, parents will be notified. If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Holland, the Assistant Principal, at 914-693-7564 ext. 2503. Buses are ONLY available to students who are eligible to ride the bus during the day! Important: Any student who is not registered to participate in an after-school program will be dismissed at the usual time and may not remain on school grounds, or ride the late buses home. We cannot supervise students that are not registered in an after-school program. Note: these clubs are separate from the After School Program with Mr. Beames.
