March 2024
Dear RPMS Parents and Guardians:
It is hard to believe we are already entering the month of March! Spring is around the corner and we are halfway through the third marking period. 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 well being, or any other related concerns. Extra help is posted in the teacher’s Google classrooms.
There are quite a few events taking place this month. Beginning on Thursday, March 7th, we are excited to host the Incoming 6th Grade Parent Orientation in the High School Auditorium. This event will provide parents and guardians of the current 5th grade with an overview of programs, expectations, and a tour of the middle school led by our 8th Grade National Junior Honor Society members. On Friday, March 8th, staff members from all over the district will compete in charity basketball game against the Harlem Wizards. As in years past, this event is sure to be full of a lot of excitement and laughs, as well as help the district’s athletics program. Later in the month, we are pleased to have COPE Officer Allison return to address the 8th grade classes about the dangers of vaping.
We are extremely excited for our upcoming grade level field trips for the school year. Hopefully you have already returned permission slips for the 6th Grade trip to Medieval Times on April 17th, the 7th Grade Trip to Jones Beach “Wild Play" on May 31st, and the 8th Grade Trip to Washington, D.C. on May 20-22nd. Please be sure to reach out if you have not received information related to the grade level field trips.
Spring sports at the RPMS begin on Monday, March 25th. The season includes: baseball,
boys’ and girls’ lacrosse, boys’ and girls’ track, softball, and boy’s tennis. If your child is
interested in playing a spring sport, they must have an up-to-date physical and registered
