I want to thank our staff for all the work they put into creating memories, learning, and enjoyment for our students. There is not a better group of passionate, dedicated educators and I am so proud to be their principal. I want to thank all of our families for their support. The way the Addams community steps up and rallies around our building is something we do not take for granted. And most importantly, our students who come here every day to grow and learn and give purpose to all of the work that goes into creating a great community like Royal Oak.

I hope your summer is full of family, friends, and making memories. We look forward to seeing you all in August!

Friday, June 5, is our last day of school. Students will be dismissed at 12:15 p.m.

Report Cards will be available to view through Parent Portal on Wednesday, June 10, after 2:00 p.m.

We recently launched our new Visitor Sign-In process at Royal Oak Schools for anyone visiting during school hours. This new system requires visitors to scan their driver's license to receive a printed badge with their name and photo. You must bring your driver’s license with you to enter the building OR preregister through the Raptor Passport App. The app is NOT required, but it can speed up sign-in for frequent visitors by allowing you to pre-upload your ID and providing a QR code to scan at check-in. The system will check all visitors against the sex offender registry to increase the safety of our students.

Any outside vendors or classroom volunteers who are flagged in the system will not be admitted to any space in the building with our student population. If a student's guardian comes to the building for a meeting with staff or administration and is flagged in the system, that meeting will occur in a private space, separate and secured from the main building.

Thank you for your patience as we launch this new system to improve student safety.

We are looking for volunteers ages 10 and up to help support the Juneteenth Celebration . Here is the direct link to the sign-up genius: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/70A0C45ADA828A5FA7-64200121-royal#/

“Blessings in a Backpack” is designed to provide students on the free and reduced lunch program with enough food for three meals daily on weekends. If you agree to participate in this program during the school year, your child will receive a bag of food for the weekend. A food bag will be put in your child's locker for take-home on Fridays. The simple meals may include macaroni and cheese, beef ravioli, canned fruit, granola bars, soups, juice, and other items. Students will receive a bag every week.

If you want your child to participate in this program, complete the sign-up form with this link. Please be sure to indicate on the form if your child has any food allergies. If your child has a food allergy, you, as the parent or guardian, are responsible for checking all food labels when the food arrives home.
