AUGUST ORIENTATION WEEK 2020
Right before our first week of classes, we welcome all Royal students back to campus on a specific day for their grade level to take care of important logistics and to kick the year off right. During this week, each grade has a day to get their school photo, ID card, locker (and lock), books, and a listing of the courses they will be enrolled in for the fall semester. More information about this will be sent out during Summer 2020. (Students are assigned a specific arrival time by their birth month at 8:00, 9:00, 10:00, or 11:00 am. Freshman Orientation day is a separate event that helps welcome new 9th graders to campus and to calibrate them for the start of high school. Each of the 5 days that week end at noon.)
