RISING SUN HIGH UPDATE

Dear Rising Sun High School Students and Families,

Rising Sun High School is excited to host this year's Prom at Deerfield! Prom has always been an exciting and wonderful event for our school community, and we are looking forward to another memorable evening.

We are reaching out today to address a recent trend regarding ticket requests. This year, we are seeing an increasing number of students asking to bring additional guests, beyond their single designated date.

Please be advised that requests for these additional outside guests will not be approved. Our primary goal is to ensure that all Rising Sun High School Juniors and Seniors have the opportunity to attend their prom. Allowing extra guests potentially takes limited tickets away from our own RSHS students.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we work to make sure this night is prioritized for our student body.

Maryland Comprehensive Assessment Program (MCAP)

Maryland schools administer statewide assessments to all students in Grade 10 English Language Arts, Algebra I, Grade 10 Biology, and Government. The Maryland State Department of Education has more information related to federal and state laws regulating the MCAP.

Rising Sun High School will begin testing in April. Teachers and students have been working all year with curriculum, instructional activities, and classroom assessments that align with the state assessments. It is extremely important that students are in school and on time the day they will participate in these assessments. All assessments require the use of a Chromebook or personal computer. Please remind students to charge their device the night before and bring their charger to school.
