May 2025
Greetings Ketcham Nation!
The final days of our 2024-25 school year are upon us and will go by quickly. I just wanted to take a moment to check in with you about the weeks ahead.
We have had a busy few weeks here at RCK - the induction of many students into our honor societies, Masque & Mime's Broadway Cares, Festival of the Arts, Taste of Interact, our Senior-Senior Prom, the Skilled Trades Fair, the 5K Color Run/Walk, our annual Flea Market & Craft Fair and incredible presentations from special guests like Leslie Carrera Rudolph and RCK alum Jeh Johnson.
Next week, our Class of 2026 will celebrate a Night in Ancient Greece at the Junior Prom and then, Mamma Mia! on June 12, our Class of 2025 heads to West Point to enjoy Senior Prom! We are so glad our students can celebrate at these wonderful events together!
The countdown to graduation speeds up next week. On May 27, the Mid-Hudson Bridge will be lit red and blue to celebrate the one-month countdown to graduation. On May 28th, seniors can enjoy the annual Senior Breakfast. Other events include Back to the Nest, the Senior Awards Ceremony, Senior Sunset and the Senior Trip. As with all events, there are requirements in order to attend and seniors should be sure they have fulfilled them in advance. More senior events will be held throughout the month leading up to our June 27th commencement ceremony. Make sure to keep up to date on the RCK calendar and the Class is 2025 website
In the coming weeks, our incredible Performing Arts department will bring you concerts that will highlight Ketcham's musicians. Please be sure to check the school calendar to find events and support our performers.
Regents Testing Schedules are available online. Our faculty is offering review sessions - students can find details in their e-mail, on our website and in Google Classroom. Remember, school is not in session on June 10 & 11. Only students taking Regents that day will attend school.
As always, please read the daily announcements and remind your students to be vigilant about checking their school e-mail. We don't want any important information to be missed. We will continue to post information on the RCK website to keep you updated.
As a reminder, schools are closed May 22 to 27. We hope you enjoy the time off!
The final day of school is June 16. We are proud of all the progress our students have made this year. Let's all keep our focus and make the most out of our final weeks together. Thank you for all your support of our community and for going....
