Hello Royal Oak Schools Families,
Spring has sprung!
We are gearing up for many student recognitions and celebrations across the district, which include celebrating our staff. May is Staff Appreciation Month, and I’d like to thank the Royal Oak Schools employees who support our students, families, and each other throughout the school year. Their enthusiasm for working with our students is inspiring. Saying thank you is never enough, but the success of our students and the support for our community are rooted in the hard work and dedication of all staff. Please take time this month to send a note to a staff member who has made a difference in your life or has impacted your child(ren).
As a district, our long-range planning continues. I have had the opportunity to meet with staff from every school about their vision for a strong community school district and what we need to do to be prepared for families of the future. Those meetings have gone very well, and we are also soliciting feedback and ideas from our students. This month, we will circulate some critical views to the community for feedback so that by June, we can present a core set of goals, action plans, and strategies to the Board of Education and our community by June.
