Rockport Middle High School |
Dear RMHS Students & Families,
We are excited to welcome the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC) for our Collaborative Conference visit this coming Monday, 11/16, and Tuesday, 11/17. As part of this process, the visiting team will meet with students, families, teachers, and administrators while also visiting classrooms throughout the school. We look forward to this opportunity for professional collaboration, reflection, and meaningful feedback as we continue working to make RMHS the best place possible for every student to learn and thrive.
To kick off the Thanksgiving holiday, we are planning an exciting community celebration! We will welcome guest speaker Duncan Kirkwood, who will discuss the importance of resilience, learning from failure, and finding purpose with our students and staff. Following the presentation, we will gather outside (weather permitting) for apple cider, cider donuts, and Turkey Bowl activities. We look forward to bringing everyone together for a fun and meaningful celebration focused on connection, growth, and community.
Report cards were posted on the Aspen portal earlier today, Friday, November 13th, and distributed to middle school students at the end of the day. If you did not receive a hard copy and would like one, please contact Maryann Aiello at maiello@rpk12.org.
Here's to a great week ahead! 😎🍂

Important Phone Numbers & Contact Information |
To simplify the communication process for families, we have streamlined all communications to run through the RMHS Main Office. Please use the main number for routine inquiries: 978-546-1234. For a more detailed chart of counselors, and other support personnel, please use the chart below to help navigate our current team of people and systems available to support you and your child throughout their academic journey. |
Being in school and on time is extremely important to your child's success. When students attend school regularly and arrive on time, they stay engaged in their learning, build strong relationships, and develop solid study habits. We appreciate your partnership with this and encourage frequent communication if there are obstacles that exist throughout the year.
The cafeteria and library are open at 7:00 am and free breakfast is available for all students. The main hallways and classrooms open at 7:25 am. |

As we begin the second quarter, we are focused on maximizing our students' learning time. For that reason, if students arrive to school after 7:35 am, all outside beverages, such as Starbucks and Dunkin' Donuts, must be disposed of in the main lobby's trash bin before heading to class. If students are on time, they remain free to enjoy:-). Thank you for helping us keep the start of the day running smoothly! |

We love our learners at Rockport Middle High School! So, let’s celebrate them! Enjoy! ~Miss Natola
High School Students! A big cheer for our high school students! They did such an awesome job participating in community building activities in Assembly this week! |
Hand hygiene is the single most important action you can take to stop the spread of germs. How to properly clean your hands using hand sanitizer - Pump about a coin-sized amount into your palm—the amount that should cover all of the surfaces of your hands, including fingers
- Rub all surfaces together, not forgetting the fingers, thumbs & nails. Rub until sanitizer is completely dry
- The antimicrobial properties of the hand sanitizer will not have any effect on fighting germs, if it is not allowed to dry
How to properly clean your hands using soap & water - Get a paper towel ready—so that you can use it after drying your hands--to turn off the faucet (that might contain germs)
- Wet your hands with warm water.
- Pump enough soap to cover all surfaces of your hands, fingers, thumbs, nails, and between your fingers.
- Covering all surfaces, scrub your hands together for 20 seconds. Singing the “happy birthday” song two times is usually equal to about 20 seconds
- Rinse your hands and pat them dry with a paper towel. Turn the faucet off with a paper towel as well.
