ERMS Clubs 2026-2027
Updated 10/08/2026
Clubs and activities start on Wednesday, September 9th.
Activities held right after school occur from 3:30 to 4:45 pm with buses available on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday for regular bus riders. To write the bus, your child needs to typically ride the bus home from ERMS. Please note: After-school bus stops are consolidated into two routes. Your child's after-school bus stop will likely be different than their normal bus stop. Please communicate with your child about which after-school stop is their stop and the route home from there.
Clubs and Activities are updated throughout the year. Below are potential clubs for the 2026 - 2027 school year. We are waiting for staff/parents to confirm that they are sponsoring each club. Details will be added as received. Clubs that are not continuing will be removed once that information is received. The club offerings are fluid and may not be the exact same from year to year.
Please note: For clubs that show Meeting Dates, those are confirmed clubs that are happening, and the information has been received from the sponsor(s).
For clubs that have a cost associated with them, financial assistance is available.
If you or your child would like to sponsor a club, please reach out to Mr. Ott at jason.ott@lcps.org
