Welcome To Our District!
A broad continuum of programs and services are available for the students of the Royal Oak School District. Nearly 750 students benefit from these special services. Our program options are designed to meet the individual needs of eligible students from birth through 26.
Emphasis is placed on educating all students in their neighborhood schools to the maximum extent appropriate. However, all decisions about programs and services for students must be based on each student’s individual needs and must be made by an Individualized Educational Planning Team. Parental involvement in the development as well as the implementation of the individualized program is critical.

FIRST PAC MEETING OF THE SCHOOL YEAR IS WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 22ND
A Parent Advisory Committee (PAC) is made up of parents of children with disabilities. The PAC advises the Intermediate School District (ISD, Oakland Schools) on the special education programs and services it provides. PACs have a positive impact on special education programs and policies.
Our Royal Oak PAC (ROPAC) is a group of parents passionate about the education and the well-being of our children. The ROPAC sincerely welcomes any parent with a student(s) in Royal Oak Schools to join us in our mission to make our schools a destination for students receiving special education services to thrive.
We are committed to promoting inclusivity for all. We believe students of all abilities deserve respect, support, and resources.

We would love to have you join us!

Dear Royal Oak Families,
I am writing to introduce myself to you. My name is Ericka Watson and I am the new Special Education Director in Royal Oak. I look forward to serving your children and you, alongside our amazing educators, and staff members. It is my hope that together we will have a successful upcoming 21/22 school year as we as a community get back to some sense of normalcy.
I have been welcomed so warmly during this transition. I appreciate the emails and drop ins to welcome me to Royal Oak. Jane will be missed by all of you, and it is my hope I will be able to pick up where she left off and stretch the department even further. Extended school year and summer school have been in session for weeks now. We are off to a great start. I have been able to visit the ESY classrooms at Keller and I am impressed with the diligence, hard work, and care of Royal Oak educators and ancillary staff members with providing our students with the best.
I have one date I would like you to mark your calendars for and that is the first PAC meeting of the 21/22 school year. It is scheduled for September 22, 2021, at 6:30p.m. here in the board office conference room A.
Enjoy your summer with those you hold dear, and I look forward to meeting all of you soon.
Educationally,
Ericka
