Principal's Message
April 2024
Dear RPMS Parents and Guardians:
The month of March has finally come to an end and we have happily welcomed the arrival of spring and
the month of April! As of April 2, we begin the last marking period of the year. Third quarter report
cards will be posted on Friday, April 5th. Please remember to keep checking the parent portal to stay
informed of your child’s academic progress. Do not hesitate to reach out to your child’s teachers,
counselors, or building administration for assistance related to their academic, social emotional wellbeing, or any other related concerns.
There are quite a few events taking place this month. To name a few, on April 4th, our PTA has
sponsored a visit from Theater Three for our 8th Grade students who have been studying WWII. They
will see “From the Fires: Voices from the Holocaust.” April 5th is our Spring Dance for the 6th and 7th
grade students. Admission is $5 and tickets will be sold during the lunch periods prior to the event. On
April 8th, all of our students will be given glasses and encouraged to view the spectacular solar eclipse
after school. The NYS English exams will take place on April 9th and 10th and the Math exams are
scheduled for April 30 and May 1st. These exams will be given through the Questar system on the
students’ Chromebooks using the NYS platform for 3-8 testing. Students will test with their grade level
peers in classrooms, or special setting by need. The application will be accessed through their
Chromebook and the exam completed online. Should you have any concerns, questions, or refusal
considerations regarding your student and the NYS 3-8 ELA and Math exams, please contact your
child’s teacher(s).
We have just entered into our spring athletic season, which includes baseball, lacrosse, tennis, track and
softball. 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. Please understand that after dismissal, students are not permitted
on school grounds unless they are attending a supervised extracurricular club/sport, and walking off
school property to go to the local stores is no longer permitted. Most middle school contests begin at
4:30, therefore, the students will need to go home on their normal dismissal bus and return at 4:30.
Field Trip reminder: The various grade level field trips are as follows: the 6
th Grade trip to Medieval
Times is on April 17th, the 7
th Grade Trip to Jones Beach “Wild Play” is on May 31st, and the 8
