Welcome to the MVCS After School Clubs Website!

Sponsored by the MVCS PTA

 

The MVCS PTA is pleased to announce our After School Clubs, which provide fun and enriching clubs from 2:45-3:45 PM onsite on club days at Mount Vernon Community School. This year, we’ll continue to partner with Baroody to provide a great experience for parents, kids and instructors.

Who is Baroody Camps?

Baroody Camps was started in 2003 as a basketball summer camp by a young PE teacher, Pete Baroody. After 4 successful summers of camp, Baroody Camps was incorporated and grew to three locations. As the summers passed, Baroody Camps added new programs and recruited some amazing area teachers to run some of the most fun camps around. In 2014, Baroody Camps started to work with local elementary schools during the school year to help them administer their after school enrichment programs. With unparalleled experience in educational leadership, teaching, creating curriculum, facility management, and customer service. Pete has a unique view on how things should be done. "We do our best to bring it all together to serve all of our partners; parents, teachers, school administrators, program providers, and of course our amazing students."         
 
After 17 years of teaching, Pete is putting all of his efforts in to helping Baroody Camps work with providers to create some of the best learning experiences for students in Northern Virginia.

What does Baroody Camps provide?

  • SAFETY. Baroody Camps provides one of our qualified and trained on-site coordinators who manages and oversees the day-to-day operations of the program, supervises the safe arrival and dismissal of students, and supports the teachers of each class throughout their sessions. Additionally, the on-site coordinator is medication administration trained and CPR /First Aid certified.
  • VARIETY. We work with a wide variety of vendors who are experts in their field to deliver a variety of programs that will foster children's development and curiosity in a challenging and structured environment. Our range of programs includes something for everyone, including STEAM, music, sports, engineering, theatre, and much more!
  • CONVENIENCE. Remaining at their school eliminates the need for someone to pick up your child and deliver them to another location, providing you and your child more time and peace of mind.
  • FUN. We provide year-round activities that encourage a love of learning, creativity, curiosity, skill development, character building, and fun!

Standards of Behavior

We want to ensure that all students participating in the clubs enjoy the experience.

• It is expected that all students will abide by ACPS classroom and school rules and regulations during clubs.

• Instructors are experienced at using classroom management techniques to allow misbehaving children time to adjust. If a child continues to have difficulties, he or she will be removed from the club and remain with the onsite coordinator who will decide if and when the child can return to the club that day and inform parents about the situation.

• If the child is removed from that club a second time, the child will be withdrawn from that club for the remainder of the session. The parents and school will be informed of this decision. No partial refunds will be given in these situations. We look to all parents to support our instructors so all of our children can have an enjoyable experience.
