WELLNESS WEEKENDS
ROHS will be participating in Wellness Weekends again this year. Students, staff, and families can celebrate a weekend of no new homework and no tests or projects to prepare for. When students and teachers return from the Wellness Weekend, no new classroom assignments will be due and no grades will be returned. The next Wellness Weekend is November 22-26. We hope that this wellness weekend will give our community the time to rest and recharge while promoting positive mental health practices for our staff and students. ROHS recognizes the importance of these Wellness Weekends as a positive practice for our school community. Future dates will be posted in the next Raven Family Resource.
ROHS CANVAS COMMUNITY PAGE
Royal Oak High School has created an ROHS Canvas Community page/course. This page houses different resources which includes, but is not limited to support contacts, wellness resources, career and testing information, scholarships and counseling information. Canvas works in conjunction with MiStar. On your student’s schedule you’ll notice it’s 10th period. Students do not need to do anything for this page/course. It is another way to give students the resources that they need.
MICHIGAN MEALS PROGRAM
Thanks to the Michigan School Meals Program, a state-funded program that allows all students to receive meals at no cost for the 2023-2024 school year, breakfast and lunch will be free to all students. Second meals are not free and will be considered ala carte.
Although all students can receive meals at no cost, it is still vital that eligible families fill out a free/reduced meal application. A school’s eligibility for federal Child Nutrition Programs such as Summer Food Service Program and others is based on free and reduced-price eligibility. Students and families may qualify for other program fee reductions based on their eligibility for free or reduced-price meals. Federal and state education funding uses free and reduced-price eligibility.
PICK UP & DROP OFF
We know that drop-off and pick-up can be difficult with everyone's busy schedules. With a few hundred students who are coming to and leaving school during a very short turnaround time of 10 - 15 minutes, we need to ensure safety. In order to do this in a safe and efficient manner, it is imperative that all families respect and follow the designated drop-off and pick-up location.
One of the greatest and growing areas of concern is the practice of families dropping students off in the circle drive (Lexington/Crooks). This is an area for buses only. We will be working with RO Police Officers to help reinforce this No Parking/Drop off Zone. Thank you for your support and understanding.
MISTAR GRADEBOOK
As a reminder, MiStar is the official gradebook and Parent(s)/Guardian(s) can go to the MiStar Parent Portal to see up-to-date grades for their child. If you have any questions about your child's progress or would like to meet with your child's teacher, please connect with them directly to schedule a conference time. (ROHS Staff Directory)
PARKING PERMIT
Parking permits can be obtained in the Main Office. In order to receive a permit, students need to have a completed application, $30 or a check made out to Royal Oak High School, their license and proof of insurance. By now, ALL students should have their parking permits if they are parking in the school parking lots. If you have questions, please contact [email protected]
ECF CHROMEBOOKS
Parent(s)/Guardian(s) can complete the ECF Chromebook Request Form in order to get a Chromebook for a student. Please make sure to read the request/commitment form carefully. Chromebooks will be delivered to ROHS toward the end of each week.
Please visit the District Technology Website for additional information and support. If you have any questions, please contact Ms. Hermon ([email protected])
