The Rocky Point School District welcomed educators to its four schools at a new teacher orientation program before the official start of school.
The new faculty members, who will teach a variety of subjects and grade levels as well as offer support services, spent the day learning about the school district. Central administrators facilitated the orientation program, which gave the new instructional staff members an extensive overview of Rocky Point’s curriculum, special education program, educational technology resources and policies.
At the end of the program, the new staff had the chance to meet with their building principals and take a tour of their new respective buildings.
