NBMS AFTER SCHOOL ACTIVITIES 

AFTER SCHOOL ACTIVITY PROGRAMS

  School-Sponsored Classes and Clubs, Intramurals, and Athletics are supervised by staff members.  These NO-FEE classes are open to all students (athletic teams: 7th & 8th grade only). 

Philosophy 

 The After School Activities (ASA) Program is an integral part of the total education process for middle school students. After school activities provide students with the opportunity to explore new areas of interest, cultivate and enhance existing skills, and grow both socially and cognitively in a safe and supportive environment.  Although these activities take place after the school day, all of our goals, rules and expectations remain the same.

 North Bethesda Middle School (NBMS) ATHLETICS

The Math Team is a group of students interested in solving math problems competitively. The weekly practices consist of problem solving, mainly by working on problems from old competitions. 

There are 4 meets a year where the Math Team goes to another middle school (schedule to follow) and competes against many other middle schools. A competition consists of three different rounds: team, individual, and relay. A team is made up of 6 students that splits into two groups of three for the relay part. There is an “A” team, which includes the top members, and potentially “B” and “C” teams. On meet days, we will need assistance getting to the meets. At the end of the meet, students need to picked up at the host school at 5:30 pm. The dates for the meets are TBD.

 SGA Dance Expectations for students and parents: 

• Students will follow NBMS rules for behavior and dress.
• Students are expected to stay at the dance for the full event.
• SGA Dances are for NBMS students only. We are unable to accommodate visitors from other schools or from out-of-town.
• No food in the gym; all food remains in the cafeteria.
• NBMS understands that you will make arrangements to pick up your child when the dance ends. However, if your child leaves earlier, for the safety of your child, we require that a parent/adult escort sign the student out of the dance.
• Parents are expected to arrive at NBMS promptly to pick up all students.
• To ensure the safety of all students, teachers wait until the last student goes home. Students not picked up promptly will be discouraged from purchasing a ticket to the next scheduled dance. Should a student be picked up late, parents will be informed of this consequence.
