Rockport High School would like to gratefully acknowledge Boston MedFlight, the Rockport Police Department, the Rockport Fire Department, the Rockport Ambulance Service, Beauport Ambulance Service, Greeley Funeral Home, and the Rockport High School Peer Leaders for their assistance in presenting the Boston MedFlight Safe Teens program to our high school students on Monday, April 14, 2014.

The Boston SafeTeens Program is an outreach effort by Boston MedFlight designed to promote teen safety and good decision making skills.  The program includes a dramatic reenactment of a fatal car crash, with community emergency responders and Boston MedFlight personnel.  The program illustrates the severe consequences of distracted driving which includes alcohol, texting, too many people in the car, and other behaviors that create a lack of awareness for the driver.  The reenactment will allow students to experience the impact a serious car crash can have on a community.  Boston MedFlight has designed the program so that communities may offer a preventive education program to students.  The Safe Teens Program incorporates the use of a Boston MedFlight helicopter as an emergency responder in the mock scenario.

We are especially grateful to Mary Arredondo, Jennifer Lewis, and Ryan Mueller of Boston MedFLight.  Ryan, a Rockport native, shared his experiences with the students including a recent call that involved the death of a New Hampshire teenager.  We also want to thank Chief Tom McCarthy, Sergeant Tim Fithsen, and Officer Philip Wesley of the Rockport Police, Chief Jim Doyle and Assistant Chief Kirk Keating of the Rockport Fire Department, and Amy Rose and Amanda Mattson our Rockport High School Peer Leader Advisors

Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Rockport Rotary Club for their generous financial support of this and many other programs designed to make our community safer, stronger, and more aware.

Hi everyone,

I am sorry to announce that due to an issue with iPass we are unable to print report cards for quarter three today.  We have been in touch with iPass and they are working to restore connectivity so that we can prepare report cards for you.  We expect to be able to run them before the end of the school day tomorrow, Friday, April 11, 2014. 

If all goes well we will send report cards and middle school communication envelopes home with students tomorrow Friday, April 11, 2014.  I will send an email tomorrow to confirm the delivery of report cards.  We apologize for this inconvenience and appreciate your patience.

Thanks as always,

Philip Conrad

Dear Parents of sixth graders,

 

I am writing to let you know that the PARCC testing for 6th grade math has been delayed by one day.  The new test dates will be Wednesday, April 9^th and Thursday, 10^th due to a shipping error by the testing vendor Pearson.  The testing guidelines from the DESE require that each student to use test and answer booklets with matching security numbers. However, Pearson, the test vendor, sent booklets with security numbers that do not match the answer booklets.  We have requested new materials and Pearson has agreed to overnight corrected materials to us.  We expect those materials to arrive on Tuesday, April 8^th and be ready for distribution on Wednesday, April 9^th. 

 

If you have any questions or concerns about the administration of the PARCC assessments please feel free to contact us here at school at (978) 546 1250.

 

Sincerely,

 

Philip Conrad
