Greetings Ketcham Nation!

We have come to the end of the first quarter and know that the rest of 2024 will fly by! We had our first weather delay of the school year and it went smoothly. If you are not familiar with the delay schedule, you can find it on the RCK website. https://www.wappingersschools.org/Domain/1346

First quarter grades are available in Parent Portal/Infinite Campus and we are proud of the progress our students are making this year.

We were so thrilled with the incredible performances of Wendy & Peter Pan by RCK Masque & Mime this past weekend. We continue to be amazed by the talent and dedication within this group and look forward to their spring production!

Thanksgiving Recess is Nov. 27-29 and school reopens December 2. Our administration is thankful for our students, staff, faculty, families and all those in the RCK community who make this truly the best school it can be!

Next month, music will fill our school with the Winter Concert on Dec. 3 and Prism Concerts on Dec. 10 & 11.

We hope that you will continue to encourage your student to get involved at school and attend the programs provided by our clubs as well as school-wide events. We will continue to post details in the daily announcements and online. In addition to our website, we post information on Facebook and Instagram.

As December nears, we want to remind you of a few things:
--Our delay bell schedule can be found on our website. Please make note of this schedule as any delays will be announced via e-mail, district phone calls, texts and online.
--Yearbook deadlines are coming up so it is best to order online as soon as possible. Tribute ads are still being accepted, but there is a limit so be sure to get yours submitted! Details are on the Yearbook website: https://sites.google.com/wcsdny.org/rck-yearbook/home

Wishing you and yours a Thanksgiving full of good things.

Your Principal,
Dave Seipp
