We appreciate your understanding as we finalize our transportation schedules for the new school year. To ensure the smoothest operation of our bus routes and pick-up/drop-off times, we will address all requests to change assigned bus stoips after the first two weeks of school. This initial period allows us to monitor and adjust our routes accordingly for the benefit of all students and the overall transportation program. Thank you for your patience and cooperation.

Attention: All before care, after care & baby sitting bus stop change requests are to be directed to the Main Office of your child’s school building. Thank you.

The Rocky Point Union Free School District uses ParentSquare, a school-to-parent communication and notification system, as part of our efforts to communicate more effectively with you. Administration will have the power to make one phone call and reach you in minutes. ParentSquare will enable the Rocky Point Union Free School District to notify you immediately in the event of a snow day or school-wide emergency. To receive these messages, the school must have your up-to-date contact information. If you move, change your email, or obtain a new cell phone number, be sure to provide your child's school with the new contact information so you won't miss a single ParentSquare message. You can also download the ParentSquare app to receive push notifications, control your account settings and communicate with the school directly.
