Dear Parents, Grandparents, & Guardians, Rock Point Community School’s (RPCS) culture-based education program strives for students to develop a strong, positive indigenous identity which aligns with the school’s mission to “…maintain their Dine language and cultural uniqueness.” RPCS hopes for students to be active in their traditional spirituality and demonstrate responsibility to family. The upcoming partial solar eclipse is an opportunity for parents and family members to teach traditional and family practices while developing their children’s cognitive skills. This follows the “Every Parent is the First Teacher” in the school’s vision statement. RPCS will not have school on Monday, April 08, 2024, due to the expected partial solar eclipse. Students and families can practice their customs and mores at home, honor their connections to the heavens, practice their spiritual beliefs, exercise their role and responsibilities within their families, and respect the natural environment. Extracurricular activities will be cancelled and rescheduled. School will resume on Tuesday, April 09, 2024. Thank you for your endless support and commitment to Rock Point Community School. Sincerely, Deana Dugi, Superintendent
