After School Playground Use
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.

PTA Dues Update
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!

BLESSINGS IN A BACKPACK
The last day for Blessings in a Backpack will be June 7th. This will be a double pack.
In light of the tough economic times facing our area, we are attempting to help Royal Oak Schools families by making sure that all of our children have enough food. “Blessings in a Backpack” is a program designed to provide students on the free and reduced lunch program with enough food for three meals a day during the weekends. This program, administered by the Community Foundation of Greater Rochester, is active in Royal Oak Schools. If you agree to take part in this program during the school year, your child will receive a bag filled with food for the weekend. A bag of food will be put in your child's locker for take home on Fridays. The simple meals may include food like macaroni and cheese, beef ravioli, canned fruit, granola bars, soups, juice and other items. Students will receive a bag every week.
