February 2019
Dear Parents and Guardians:
Welcome to the month of February! Thankfully, it seems all of the groundhogs (both local and nationally renowned!) have predicted an early Spring, so we can only hope they are more accurate than the actual meteorologists!
Here are a few important events/ dates that the month of February will offer at the RPMS: on Tuesday, February 5th, a member from the Suffolk County Sheriff's Department will be speaking about the dangers of adolescent vaping at the PTA meeting which is scheduled for 7:00PM in the RPMS library. Spirit week will kick off during the week of February 11th and will culminate with our annual MS Battle of the Grades during second and third periods on Friday, February 15th. Students and staff members will compete against each other across all grade levels in variety of “unconventional” events for bragging rights in the school. Additionally during this same week, our Student Government is rolling out our “Pick it up Rocky Point” program which is geared to inspire students to take pride in maintaining our building and instill a positive attitude toward community service.
If you are allowing your child to walk off the grounds after school for any reason, please remember to send in a signed, written note, authorizing this to the main office. Students who walk off grounds, are not permitted to use the late bus transportation.
The weather during the month of February may bring about the necessity for weather related issues. If inclement weather leads to a decision for school to be closed or for a two-hour delayed opening, please check the following radio/TV stations: WALK FM 97.5, WBLI FM 106.1 or TV– Cablevision News 12, as well as, via the District’s Blackboard Connect telephone notification system. The weather may also result in the district utilizing Inclement Weather Bus Stops at times. These may be called for at anytime during the day so it is recommended you review the inclement weather stops for your child, as soon as possible. (The Inclement Weather Stops are accessible through your Parent Portal account, click on the inclement weather bus stop link under your child’s regular bus stop). If you require assistance with the Parent Portal, please call 631-744-1600, extension 7726.
The RPMS “Virtual Book Bag” continues to be a source for viewing flyers and important information at the Middle School and in the community. Please visit our Virtual Book Bag site:
