Rocky Run MS After School Program

Program Overview: Rocky Run Middle School is committed to promoting active participation in extracurricular activities to support the academic mission and enrich the lives of students. Students who engage in these programs are more likely to develop positive attitudes towards school, achieve full academic potential, and become productive citizens. Students are encouraged to maintain a balance between their instructional studies, after school activities, and other outside interests.

Cost & Funding: Fairfax County Public Schools offers comprehensive, high-quality after-school activities that provide opportunities for middle school youth to: feel safe, improve academic development and performance, improve social, emotional, and physical well-being, improve school and community connectedness, reduce the potential for risk-taking behaviors, and reduce interest in gang involvement or delinquent activities. After-school activities are being implemented so that youth have greater opportunities for success in developing the attitudes, skills, knowledge, and abilities to live healthy lives, become productive adults, and to thrive in the workplaces and communities of the 21st century. After-School Programs are funded in all FCPS middle schools.

The Middle School After-School Program is funded and implemented through a collaborative partnership between Fairfax County Public Schools, Office of After-School Programs, and the Fairfax County Government, Department of Community and Recreation Services. The program is free for all currently enrolled students. There may be a nominal cost associated with attending competitions for a few select clubs or specialized club or activities. This information will be posted and presented in advance.
