Rye Neck Middle School

Dear Rye Neck Families,

As we approach the end of 2023, we reflect on the journey we've embarked on this year. We want to express our gratitude for being an integral part of our vibrant Rye Neck Middle School community. As we bid farewell to 2023, let's take a moment to celebrate the achievements and growth of our students. We are proud of their hard work and determination.

Looking ahead to the new year, 2024 holds promises of fresh opportunities and adventures. Our dedicated faculty and staff are committed to providing an enriching and supportive learning environment for your children. We eagerly anticipate our continued collaboration and partnership that empowers our students to thrive.

May the upcoming year bring good health and continued success to each and every one of you. Thank you for entrusting us with the education and well-being of your children.

Wishing you a restful and rejuvenating holiday break!

Dr. Barker

This year, our district has partnered with Effective School Solutions to enhance our culturally inclusive mental wellness and behavioral support programs that improve and strengthen outcomes for students. In the coming weeks and months, we will be hosting in-person and virtual workshops of high interest to parents. Please watch for future dates and descriptions in mailings and on our district website.

On Friday, December 15th, the high school math team, lead by junior Terence Du, helped prepare eager middle school students for the AMC 8 math contest. The American Mathematics Contest 8 (AMC) is a 25-question, 40-minute, multiple-choice examination in middle school mathematics designed to promote the development of problem-solving skills. The AMC 8 provides an opportunity for middle school students to develop positive attitudes towards analytical thinking and mathematics that can assist in future careers.

We would like to remind you of some bike safety rules.

• By law, all children ages 13 and under must wear a helmet while riding a bike. In Mamaroneck, bicycle riders must consider the safety of pedestrians on sidewalks (and must dismount and walk their bikes on Mamaroneck Avenue).

• Unlike joggers, bicyclists should ride in the same direction as auto traffic while on the road.

• Students must be mindful of how they are riding their bicycles while on our MS/HS campus. There are lots of staff, students and parents walking and many cars that are driving during arrival and dismissal.

• Please review this New York State resource on Bike Safety. Please remember that all of us who use the roads, whether on foot, on a bike, or in a car, have to pay attention to each other to prevent physical injury.

After school clubs started the week of October 2nd. They are open to students in grades 6-8. Students can try different clubs or if they are in 6th grade they can also participate in intramural sports. The club presentation as well as the schedule for intramural sports is below.
