After School Program
The After School Program is designed to support academic achievement, foster personal interests and talents, and initiate positive social experiences for all students.
Philosophy
The After School program at Irving Middle School provides students access to high-quality activities in a safe environment for all students. The Program strives to improve academic performance, foster social, emotional, and physical well-being, all while reducing the potential for risk-taking behaviors.
Program Structure & Club Sign Ups
The After School Program runs 4 days a week unless noted. Monday through Thursday, our clubs and activities will run in two activity blocks (2:25 pm to 3:25 pm and 3:30 pm to 4:30 pm). The club schedule will vary by day and week, but the most up-to-date schedule will be posted in the “Activities” section of our school website.
Most of our clubs are open to all 7th and 8th grade students, however some are limited by grade level. If that is the case, it will be noted in the club description. In order to sign up for a club, students must sign up using the Weekly Signup located in the After School Program folder located in the Schoology All Students Course. Some clubs may require an additional sign up process. If that is the case, directions for how to sign up will be noted in the club description.
Students may participate in as many clubs as they want. We encourage them to try something new as part of the After School Program!
