Here is Royal Oak Middle School's Summer Reading information for our current 5th grade students. Join the ROMS reading community and dive into summer reading adventures.

Enclosed in this flyer, you will find a variety of links to helpful resources. Focus specifically on the TicTacToe Summer Reading Activity, a document that will be discussed and collected at the beginning of the upcoming school year.

Please be aware that our after-school latchkey program uses the playgrounds each day, starting around 4 p.m. If you decide to stay on school grounds after dismissal please avoid those areas being used by the latchkey program. This will allow our staff to monitor our after-school care kids and ensure safety.

If you are looking for employment and enjoy working with children, please consider working for our Young Oaks program.

This year, the national PTA voted to raise their dues. Due to this increase in the national PTA dues, our school will be increasing our individual dues to offset the shortage we would incur. Beginning in July 2023, the individual dues will be $10 for a year membership. Thank you for your understanding!
