April 2021
Dear RPMS Parents & Guardians:
The month of April is well under way. We hope you had an opportunity to enjoy the spring break and rest up for the last quarter of the year. Things continue to move in a positive direction, middle school sports have been underway with many of our teams playing for the first time since March of 2020. Additionally, many of our clubs have begun to meet in person including our Garden club, which held its first meeting, just in time for spring!
Third quarter grades will be posted to the parent portal on Friday, April 16th. Please keep in mind this is the first quarter where a grade may appear on a report card that is below a 50. As always, please keep monitoring the parent portal to stay informed about your child’s academic progress. Please use the link to access the parent portal:

The New York State Assessments in English/Language Arts will take place on April 20th. This year, the state exams will be administered on one day for ELA (4/20), and one day for Math (5/4). Eighth grade students not enrolled in Living Environment will also have the option to take the NYS assessment is science on June 7th. Hopefully, you have received our letters regarding the testing procedures at the RPMS. There is no “opt out” form for the middle school this year. The only students who will come into the building on Monday April 20th will be students who are participating in the ELA exams. All other students will have the opportunity to live stream into their classes from home. The same procedure will be used on May 4th when the NYS Math assessment is scheduled to be administered. Please feel free to contact the RPMS with any questions you may have regarding the testing days.
I would like to offer congratulations to 82 of our eighth grade students for their acceptance into the Rocky Point Middle School’s chapter of the National Junior Honor Society. The induction ceremony will take place on April 12 in the RPMS gymnasium. Students accepted into the NJHS have maintained a cumulative average of 92.5 in all of their classes and have demonstrated excellence in the areas of scholarship, service, leadership, character and civics. There ceremony will be attended in person by our new inductees and will be live streamed to their families. We will have the ceremony recorded and accessible on the district website so family members may view it at a later time.
On Wednesday, April 14th, the RPMS is encouraging all of our students and staff who purchased their “Chasing the Brightside” apparel featuring 6th Grade student, Torianna Guisti’s design, to wear their tee shirts, sweatshirts, and masks to school and demonstrate their commitment to focusing on the bright side of a difficult world. If students did not purchase a “Brightside” shirt, we will encourage them to wear brightly colored clothing. Additionally, we will continue our Friday theme of RP pride and encourage students to wear Rocky Point apparel or blue or white clothing.
Important dates to keep in mind:
April 12 – National Junior Honor Society Induction ceremony- 2:30
April 16 – Third Quarter report cared grades posted to the portal
