Exciting Opportunity for ROMS 7th Graders – World Religion in Metropolitan Detroit Experience

We’re thrilled to offer our 7th grade students the chance to participate in the World Religion in Metropolitan Detroit Experience! Through this program, students will explore a variety of faiths, gain insight into different beliefs and traditions, and discover how diverse communities practice their religions with respect and compassion.

This unique journey will include five interfaith visits and one cultural experience at local places of worship during the 2025–2026 school year. All 7th grade students are encouraged to apply!

There is a participation cost of $160.00 to cover transportation, activities, and a t-shirt. If you are interested in being part of this journey please complete the application and return it to the 6th grade office by May 30, 2025. (We will be looking into grants but cannot guarantee it will be fully funded).

Important Reminder for the Last Day of School

Please note: Students will not be permitted to bring backpacks into school on the last day. Locker access will also be unavailable.

Any bags brought to school (e.g., for after-school plans) must be checked in at the main office and will be held there until dismissal. All bags are subject to search for prohibited items such as silly string, shaving cream, or other disruptive materials.

We appreciate your cooperation in helping us maintain a safe and respectful school environment for all students and staff.

We want to make you aware of a dangerous new TikTok trend that has been reported across the county—and, unfortunately, observed here at Royal Oak Middle School. This trend involves students using a metal object (such as a paperclip or pin) to short out the USB port or battery on a Chromebook in an attempt to create an electrical arc.

This behavior is extremely dangerous and can result in smoke, fire, or serious injury.

We urge all families to talk to their students about the dangers of this trend and reinforce the importance of using school technology responsibly and safely.

Thank you for partnering with us to keep our students and school community safe.

Thank you for a fantastic year!
