May 2022
Dear RPMS Parents and Guardians:
Welcome to May at the Middle School! This month promises to be packed with activities both in the classroom and outside.
I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate the cast and crew for an incredible job with their performances of Disney’s Little Mermaid Jr. Hopefully, you had a chance to see this amazing production under the direction of Mr. Maggio and Mrs. Collier, and choreographed by Mrs. Aschettino. As anyone who saw the show would agree, the talent that our own RPMS performers possess is simply astounding!
Incredibly, as of April 4th, we have begun the last marking period of the year. Third quarter report cards will be posted on Friday, April 8th. Please remember to keep checking the parent portal to stay informed of your child’s academic progress. An additional reminder, the NYS Mathematics testing will take place on Tuesday, April 26th and Wednesday, April 27th. RPMS students taking the exam will be seated in the gymnasium or cafeteria depending on their grade level. Any student with testing accommodations will take their exams in separate locations as specified by their IEP/504 plans.
An important item for our parents and students. As the weather gets warmer, students often ask to walk to the stores. We strongly discourage our students from walking to the stores as there is little to no supervision which may lead to potentially unsafe situations. That being stated, parents who do permit their child to walk off school grounds, must send in signed, written permission authorizing their child to walk off grounds prior to 8th period. Please understand that after dismissal, students are not permitted on school grounds unless they are attending a supervised extracurricular club/sport. We encourage students to attend athletic contests to cheer for their classmates, however, they are not permitted to enter the grounds earlier than 15 minutes before the start of the athletic contests, as we do not have supervision for them. Most middle school contests begin at 4:30, therefore, it is best that the students go home on their normal dismissal bus and return at 4:30.
Field Trip reminder: The various grade level field trips are as follows: 6th Grade trip to the Vanderbilt Planetarium on May 5th & 6th, the 7th Grade Trip to the Riverhead Aquarium on June 21st, and the 8th Grade Trip to Urban Air on May 27th. The 8th Grade Semi-Formal will be held at the middle school on Friday, June 3rd. (Please note this date is different than what was printed on the district calendar.)
