ROCKLAND HIGH SCHOOL WEEKLY UPDATE
November 10, 2022
We want to extend a Happy Veterans Day to all of our Rockland families. We, as a school community, thank all our veterans who have devoted their service to our country. Last Saturday, RHS students visited the National Cemetery in Bourne to place flags on the graves in honor of Veterans Day. Thank you to Ms. Walsh and the National Honor Society for coordinating the event.

On Wednesday, November 16th, Rockland High School faculty will host Parent-Teacher Conferences from 6:30-8:00 pm. During the afternoon on Thursday, November 17th, there will be an early release for students at 11:20 AM for parents to come for afternoon conferences from 12:30-2:30 PM.
If you still want to register for a conference, please click this link. It does not matter which day you show up for the conference or the time; by registering, it allows staff to prepare for the conference adequately.
Please print off your child’s schedule and visit your child’s classrooms during these time windows. There are no pre-scheduled appointments during these time windows, so please drop by and see your child’s teachers as you would like.

Extracurricular Life Happenings
RHS represented us well at the Rockland Cares Ornament of Hope event! At the Ornament of Hope event held at the Eagles, students helped make ornaments which are distributed to people in recovery or people who have been affected by substance use disorders at the Holiday Stroll.
This is a reminder that there is Saturday School scheduled for November 19th from 9:00 AM until 12:00 PM. Any student is encouraged to make-up missing work or receive extra help. Teachers from the English, Math, Science, History, and World Language Departments will be there to assist students.
