DISTRICT COMMUNICATIONS

The goal of communications is to strengthen and expand school-community connections that are crucial to both the success of the school district and the community. Royal Oak Schools aims to communicate with its citizens and provide accurate, timely, and useful information to all interested individuals. The Communications Department highlights the great things happening across our district in many ways! We showcase student and staff projects, awards, achievements, and initiatives on our district website, social media pages, our district newsletter, and through our local media.

Families and community members can stay up-to-date on the latest information related to the district through our website, social media posts, The District Dispatch, WOAK (the Royal Oak educational access channel), Royal Oak Insight/Your Schools, and Royal Oak Today. Click "Subscribe to eNews" at the bottom of this page to ensure you're receiving the latest and greatest information.
