		Riverhead Middle School has approximately 785 students in grades 7 and 8. There are 120 professional staff. RMS has a culturally diverse student population, with a teaching staff of seasoned veterans and new, energetic, young professionals. There is a strong commitment to a team approach at RMS: Teachers and students work in teams. Teachers get to know their students and to share curriculum materials and ideas with each other. Parents are encouraged to contact teachers on the team concerning their child's learning needs. The assistant principal is Steve Hudson. RMS has a full range of academic and extra-curricular offerings and a proud tradition of excellence in both. The school has a strong cultural arts and music program and a variety of afterschool clubs, athletic teams and an outstanding Latin Club. In addition to these programs, RMS is participating in a five-year National Science Foundation Grant (MSTP) that the district received in 2003. Riverhead is part of a consortium of 10 schools that received the grant which is designed to assist math teachers in the consortium by arming them with the most current and effective teaching methods and materials available in an effort to make math and its relationship to science and technology more meaningful and exciting to middle level students. The RMS Guidance Department would like to offer parents a newsletter in English and Spanish designed to help them help their child during the Middle School years.
