WELCOME TO PAS CLUBS

 

 

Welcome to the Rocky Mount PTA PAS Clubs (PTA After School Club) Program. We are excited to offer opportunities for students to participate in an after-school enrichment program. All PAS Clubs classes, with the exception of Fun Clubs, are taught exclusively by Rocky Mount teachers. A portion (15%) of the class cost goes back to the Rocky Mount PTA. These funds go directly
back to our school to pay for special programs, curriculum enrichment opportunities, and extra learning materials needed throughout the school year. The remaining portion of the class cost goes directly to our teachers!

Please read on for more information about the PAS Clubs program as well as important policies and procedures for participating in PAS Clubs classes. You can access the Master Schedule and view classes offered this semester by clicking the links in the menu at the top of this website or down below. Any other questions or inquiries regarding PAS Clubs classes can be emailed to RockyMountPTA@gmail.com.

REGISTRATION

Registration for the Fall 2023 PAS Club Semester will open on July 17th, 2023 at 8am and close August 22th at midnight.

Registration for the Spring 2024 PAS Club Semester will open on November 15th at 8am and close on January 16th at midnight. 

 

How to set up your account and register for PAS Clubs Classes:

• Visit Rocky Mount’s PTA website: https://rockymountpta.membershiptoolkit.com/
• Click on the REGISTER/LOGIN button and update your family’s information.
• This step must be completed before you can register for any classes! We recommend setting up your account BEFORE registration week to save time when registering. 
• Classes will fill up quickly!
• Beginning July 17st at 8 am or November 15th @ 8am, click the PAS Clubs CLASS SIGN UP button on the main page or under QUICK LINKS.
• Follow directions to complete registration and submit payment.
• You will receive an email confirming your registration. If you don't receive an email immediately, you should click on the MY ACCOUNT option in the navigation bar and select Previous Orders. If the order did not go through, you are not registered. 
• There is a no-cancellation and no-refund policy. Once a registration for a PAS Clubs class is completed and payment submitted, all registrations are final even if the registration window is still open. 
• During registration week, if a class is not meeting the enrollment minimum, it may not be taught that semester. If this happens, you will be contacted by the Rocky Mount PAS Clubs Committee so you can choose a replacement class if desired while the registration window is still open. A refund for the class that was closed due to low enrollment will be issued and mailed to you at the address saved in your account.
• Once registration ends, no students can be added to a class regardless if there is an opening in a PAS Clubs class.
• Registration for ASP Clubs are done separately.
• There are minimums for each club set by the teachers and if those minimums are not met, PTA will reach out to parents and determine if the child wants to move to a different club or void their registration- this would be the ONLY reason a refund would be provided as the class would not happen as planned.

 

SCHOLARSHIPS

 

Limited scholarships are available for all PAS Clubs classes. If you are interested in applying for a PAS Clubs Scholarship for Fall 2023, you may reach out to your grade level counselor beginning August 2, 2023, for a Scholarship Information:

• Allison Ragsdale Allison.Ragsdale@cobbk12.org
• Carly Skaar Carly.Skaar@cobbk12.org 

For confidentiality reasons, requests for scholarships are only reviewed by Rocky Mount Counselors and in no way are handled or reviewed by Rocky Mount PTA or Club Teachers. Scholarships will only be provided once the minimum numbers are met for each class.  The number of scholarships offered will be up to the club teacher - there will be a minimum of one scholarship per class. 

 

PAS Clubs DISMISSAL

 

Students that attend the After School Program (ASP) will be dismissed from PAS Clubs to ASP.

 

All other PAS Clubs students will be dismissed from the front of the school only through PAS Clubs Carpool/Walker.

 

PAS Clubs CARPOOL/WALKER PICK UP PROCEDURES:

• Walkers will be dismissed from the front of the school only before PAS Clubs carpool begins. Walkers must be met by an adult at the front of the building.
• PAS Clubs Carpool dismissal will happen at the front of the school using our normal carpool lanes.
• PAS Clubs Carpool pick up will be from 3:40-3:50.
• Students not picked up by 3:50 will be sent to ASP and parents will be charged for ASP and registration fees if not registered already.
• All PAS Clubs students being picked up in the carpool line must have and display a Rocky Mount Carpool Number (this is the same tag used for regular school car rider dismissal).
• If a family does not already have a Rocky Mount Carpool Number, then the enrolling adult will need to come to the front office to pick one up.
• Only the enrolling adult with ID can pick up the carpool number.
• You will be asked to select a dismissal option when registering for a PAS Clubs class. (ASP, Walker, or PAS Clubs Carpool with Carpool Number)  Please be prepared to provide your carpool number during registration! Your student will be dismissed this way on PAS Clubs day unless you send a note changing their dismissal. 
• All Rocky Mount dismissal guidelines apply to PAS Clubs dismissal.

• Students who attend PAS Clubs classes NO LONGER HAVE TO BE REGISTERED FOR ASP! However, if a parent is not there to pick up a child from PAS clubs, they will be sent to ASP.  When you pick up from ASP, you will be required to pay the registration fee and that day’s charges prior to picking up your child.

• We respectfully request your help with ASP. Just like many other businesses across the nation, they too are experiencing staffing shortages. Please only plan to send your child to ASP after PAS Clubs if your child normally attends ASP and/or you truly need this service and cannot pick your child up by 3:40. Thank you for helping us with this!
