Intramural Program

The Intramural Program at Great Neck is open to all Great Neck Middle School students and is based on non-competitive participation. The program is held after school until 5:20pm.

Intramural sessions run each nine weeks and may include, but not be limited to the following activities: flag football, basketball and board games. All students are eligible for the Intramural Program. Each student must, however, fill out a Participation Card signed by their parents before actual participation.

An Activity Bus will take your child home when the program ends. It is important to remember that this service is not door-to-door. Buses will drop students off in the vicinity of their homes. Your cooperation in this matter is greatly appreciated!
