Rocky Mount High School

Good evening Gryphons, As we approach Spring Break, we want to wish all of our students and their families a safe, restful, and enjoyable time off. Spring Break will begin Friday, April 18th and continue through Sunday, April 27th. We hope this break provides an opportunity to relax, recharge, and spend quality time together. Please encourage your students to stay safe, make healthy choices, and return ready to finish the school year strong. When we return on Monday, April 28th, we will enter the final stretch with just five weeks of instruction remaining. This is an important time for our students to stay focused, engaged, and finish the year on a positive note. We appreciate your continued support and partnership as we work together to help every student succeed.

Vaccine Requirement for Senior Year WHO: All Juniors going to 12th grade next school year (August 2025)! WHAT: A second dose of Meningococcal Conjugate Vaccine (MenACWY or MCV4) WHEN: Required before entering the 12th grade or by 17 years of age, whichever comes first. This is your early reminder to get this done soon or over the summer to prevent any issues at the start of next school year. You will be excluded from school within the first 30 days of school if it is not completed. Do the following: 1. Contact your doctor/health care provider or local health department to meet this immunization requirement before the school year starts. 2. Submit your updated immunization record to your school nurse (Amber Moore). You may drop it off at the school or email me (almoore@ncpschools.net) More about the vaccine: The required vaccine is the booster dose (dose #2) of meningococcal conjugante vaccine (MenACWY or MCV4). You received the first one in middle school. Meningococcal B vaccine (MenB) is NOT the required vaccine. This is a different type of vaccine that is "recommended" for teenagers but not "required". MenB is NOT a substitute for the correct vaccine. https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vpd/mening/index.html
