5th Grade Farewell
Following the ceremony, we have planned a picnic for students to enjoy across the street at Upton Park. Families will not attend this event. Since this picnic is not on school grounds, a permission slip will be coming home next week. We will dismiss students from the 4/5 doors at 12:15 p.m.
Upton Spring Carnival
We are still in need of volunteers for our spring carnival. The event is Friday, June 7 from 5:30-8pm. Volunteers shifts run for an hour and a half.
Would you be willing to help our PTA run this event? If you are willing, please sign up to help!
This is a GREAT opportunity to have older siblings help (games are very easy to run) or even a special relative join this fun celebration. Thank you so much for your consideration! We hope to see you there!

Blessings in a Backpack
"Blessings in a Backpackā€¯ 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.
If you would like to have your child participate in this program, fill out the form below and mail it to the board office at 800 Devillen, Royal Oak, MI 48073, or just hit submit on this form. Please be sure to indicate on the form if you child has any food allergies. If your child has a food allergy, you as the parent are responsible for checking all food labels when the food arrives home. Royal Oak Schools, as well as Blessings in a Backpack, will not be held responsible for any accidental food allergen exposure.
