LINKKS

The Rocky Point School District participated in the ACES Project (Alcohol Coalition of Eastern Suffolk) under the direction of Eastern Suffolk BOCES from September 2009 to June 2012.

The Rocky Point strategy team conducted community interviews, attended planning meetings, and created an action plan during the first year of the program. The focus was to reduce the number of students who were drinking underage or using other harmful drugs.

We encourage parents/guardians in the community to become united with one another to share information on the “where about” of their children. Collaboratively, the children in our community can remain safe if their actions are monitored by many caring adults.

The creation of this LINKKS website was one of the results of the ACES Project. We hope that these resources will assist parents with prevention strategies, communication skills, and other current information that they can use to help keep their children safe.

Eastern Suffolk BOCES received a grant from the US Department of Education to implement the ACES Project in the Rocky Point and Shoreham areas.
