Rockport Middle School will be performing the musical Shrek Jr January 25-27, and because the show requires a very large cast, we are offering fifth graders at RES the opportunity to be in it. We will be having a meeting for any fifth grader who wants to be in Shrek on Tuesday, November 28 from 3:15 to 4:00 in the RMHS auditorium. After that, rehearsals will take place once a week from 3:15 to 4:00. (The exact day of rehearsals will be determined by the availability of the students.) They will also need to be at the dress rehearsals on January 22, 23 and 24. NO ONE WHO WANTS TO BE IN IT WILL BE CUT. Everyone will have a part of some kind. For more information, please contact Mr. McCarthy at kmccarthy@rpk12.org.
There will be no school transportation available for students after play meetings and/or rehearsals; families will need to make arrangements for student pick up each day.

We need your help! The Town of Rockport is in the process of developing a Self-Evaluation and
Transition Plan to ensure residents and visitors have access to all Town buildings, programs, and
services. The Town has engaged the Edward J. Collins Center for Public Management to assist with the plan, which is required by the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1991 (ADA). An important part of this planning process is providing opportunities for the public to offer input and voice concerns.
This survey is intended to gather preliminary data to assist the planning team in identifying any barriers to access for individuals with disabilities at Town buildings or within the programs and services it currently offers. Once the initial study is completed, the Town will solicit additional input on how to best address any deficiencies that are found.
Please take a few minutes to complete this important accessibility survey at the following link:
If you need assistance in completing this survey or would like to request an alternative format, please contact Marcia Birmingham at marcia.birmingham@umb.edu or call the Collins Center at 617-287-4824. We sincerely appreciate your time and effort in helping to ensure Rockport remains a great place to live for ALL our residents.
