March 2024
Dear RPHS Parents and Guardians:
The month of March is well underway, we have already “sprung ahead” for daylight savings and Spring will hopefully arrive soon! The third marking period ends on March 27th, remember to check the parent portal https://rockypointufsd.org/parentsstudents/eschool_parent_portal to stay informed of your child’s academic progress and attendance. As always, do not hesitate to reach out to your child’s teachers, counselors, or building administration for assistance related to their academic or social-emotional well-being.
Seniors should pay close attention to their progress towards graduation, as the end of the year is fast approaching! Be sure to check with your counselor to verify you are on track to graduate in June. Seniors should be sure to apply for as many scholarship opportunities as possible. Scholarship information is available in the Guidance Department Google Classroom and Naviance. Underclassmen should have already selected and returned their course requests for the 2024-25 school year. Please be sure the selections are accurate and reach out to the counselors immediately if you have concerns/questions. As a reminder, parents/guardians of current 11th grade students (incoming 12th grade) should contact their child’s counselor if their child is requesting early dismissal for the 2024-25 school year to verify that the parent understands their child will be permitted to leave school early.
Last week, the RPHS put on two incredible performances of the “The Addam’s Family.” Congratulations to the talented cast and crew for their tireless efforts, vocal performances and meticulously choreographed routines! A tremendous thank you to Ms. Jessica Spitz and Mrs. Jaime Mancini, for dedicating their time and talents to work with our cast and crewmembers. Hopefully, you had a chance to take advantage of the beautiful weather on Sunday and watched the incredible performances of our talented Marching Band, a focal point of the annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade. This Friday, March 15th, our High School staff, coached by our students, is squaring off against each other in the name of charity in the annual “Swoopin & Hoopin” basketball event. Ms. Tribby and Mrs. Ackermann have been working tirelessly to organize this annual fundraiser that benefits our own students/families in need through the “Be a Nicer Neighbor Club.” Doors open at 5:30PM and tickets can be purchased for $5. (Tickets are also on sale in school during the week of 3/11-3/15)
Prom season is rapidly approaching. The Junior Prom will be held at the Water View at the Port Jefferson Country Club on Friday, May 3rd. Tickets will be sold only in school from April 8th-12th. A mailing was sent to the families of every 11th grade student. This mailing contains detailed information related to prom rules and procedures, some of which require them to be returned to the building with parental signatures.
The winter athletics season was extremely successful at the RPHS. Congratulations to our Cheer Competition Team for placing first in the UCA National Championships held in Orlando. Senior Aidan Donahue and junior Aidan Barry earned All-State honors in Boy’s Wrestling, senior Alexandra Viera earned All-State status in Girl’s Wrestling, sophomore Trevor Green competed at the states in Swimming, sophomore Ava Almeida competed at the states in Pole Vault, and last but not least, both Boys' and Girls' Basketball teams earned playoff appearances. Monday, March 11th marks the official start of the spring sports season at the RPHS.

Additionally, you may check the following radio/TV stations: WALK FM 97.5, WBLI FM 106.1 or TV– Cablevision News 12.
