Emergency Operations Plan

For security reasons and following national standard practices for schools, our full Emergency Operation Plan (EOP) is not publicly available. Please rest assured that our administrative team has been trained in our plan, and all staff members have participated in drills using our EOP and our Standard Response Protocol (SRP).

We have also worked closely with the Royal Oak Police Department in the creation of our EOP, and they, along with other emergency response agencies, are aware of our plans and review them regularly. In the event of an emergency, Royal Oak Schools staff are trained and ready to respond to keep our students safe.

To ensure you and all emergency contacts for your child receive notifications from our emergency alert system (including any trusted family member or friend who could pick your child up in the event of an emergency), please make sure your child’s MiStar Emergency Contacts are updated. Students will only be released to individuals included on their emergency contact list.

To update:

  1. Log in to MiStar
  2. Select “My Information” in the upper-right menu
  3. Select the photo of your child
  4. Select “Emergency Contacts” in the upper-left menu
  5. Add the contact name and phone number
  6. Select “Submit”

Please note that this process must be completed for each child. If you need assistance, please call (248) 435-8400 x1260 OR email [email protected]

All Royal Oak Schools employees, students, families, and community members are encouraged to report anything they see, hear, or are made aware of that may impact a school.

  • If you see or hear something that threatens student or school safety, reach out to OK2SAY.
  • Call 911 or the Royal Oak Police Department at 248-246-3500.
  • If you want to anonymously share information about a crime, call Crime Stoppers of Southeast Michigan at 1-800-SPEAK UP.
  • Email the Police Department.

When providing information, please be as detailed as possible. Include the name of the school(s), the person(s) involved, the type of alleged activities, and when they occurred/may occur.

  • All threats are taken seriously. Police are notified, and officers and school administrators work together to thoroughly investigate any threat, whether made verbally, in writing, by email, by text, or online. The earlier we know about a potential threat, the earlier an investigation can begin.
  • Anyone who makes a threat against a school could face criminal charges. If a student is involved in making a threat, the school/district will respond as outlined in the student handbook.
