After-School Clubs
The Ralston PTA sponsors three, 6-8 week sessions of after-school clubs. Some of the offerings in the past have included Animation, Dance Dance Revolution, Games, Movies, Ping Pong, etc. New areas of interest are added based on instructor preference and student demand. Flyers are distributed to students for sign-ups.
Ralston Dances
Several dances are held every year. Attendance at school dances is a privilege designed for students with good academic standing, good behavior and good attendance. Students who are truant, recently suspended, have numerous detentions or Saturday Schools or who have two or more D’s or F’s in core subjects are not eligible to attend dances. Eligibility will be based on progress reports, report cards and team teachers.
Only Ralston students may attend the dances. Students absent the day of the dance may not attend the dance.
Tickets will be sold during the week of the dance. No tickets will be sold at the door.
Students may arrive no earlier than 15 minutes prior to the dance and be admitted no later than 15 minutes after the start of the dance. Students must leave campus within 15 minutes after the end of the dance. All school rules will be in effect during dances. Students will not be able to leave early without an adult. Transportation home after the dance is the family's responsibility. All dances will have parent and staff chaperones present.
