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. Any other questions or inquiries regarding PAS Clubs classes can be emailed to RockyMountPTA@gmail.com.

REGISTRATION
Registration for the Spring 2025 PAS Clubs semester will open on November 12th, 2024 at 8pm and close January 13th at Midnight.
How to set up your account and register for PAS Clubs Classes:
- Visit Rocky Mount’s PTA website: www.rockymountpta.org
- 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 November 12th at 8 PM, 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.
- 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. 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 even if there is an opening in a PAS Clubs class.
- Registration for ASP Clubs are done separately.
SCHOLARSHIPS
Limited scholarships are available for all PAS Clubs classes. If you are interested in applying for a PAS Clubs Scholarship for Spring 2025, you may reach out to your grade level counselor beginning January 6, 2025, for 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 3:30-3:40.
- Students not picked up by 3:40 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 Bar Code (this is the same tag used for regular school car rider).
- You will be asked to select a dismissal option when registering for a PAS Clubs class. (ASP, Walker, or PAS Clubs Carpool) 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.
