Before & After School Clubs

Randolph Middle School believes in providing a variety of experiences for students and offers a wide array of extracurricular activities ranging from philanthropic to leadership, academic to athletic.

Clubs are available to all students yet some may require an application, membership dues, or be limited to certain grade levels.

Students interested in a club should contact the club sponsor as listed on the club webpage.

How to get involved? Clubs will announce meetings via the morning and afternoon announcements. Students and families can also utilize the club website for additional details regarding available clubs. View the website HERE! (This website is updated regularly to demonstrate current club offerings.)

Special Notes about Clubs- the club webpage is kept as up to date as possible. Clubs are not guaranteed from year to year due to staff schedules. Many clubs will begin announcing after Labor Day in the Fall with some Winter/ Springs marketing closer to when they begin meeting.

Technology

All students at RMS are assigned a Chromebook (laptop) at the start of the school year. This device is to be used throughout the school day in order to complete materials assigned by classroom teachers. Many of Randolph's classrooms utilize digital textbooks which allow for students to access content at home along with the classroom platforms available in Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools. Such platforms include Google Classroom, Canvas, and the NCedCloud.

Per CMS, students are required to carry a bookbag during transitions with their Chromebook packed away. Due to this requirement, Randolph does not currently assign lockers to students.

For 2019-2020 school year, students are able to take their assigned Chromebook home every day.
