Safe Routes to School
You might have heard that the Royal Oak School District will consider ending all general education bussing next year due to the budget crisis. As a consequence, many more parents will likely drive their kids to school next year.We already have traffic jams in front of most of our schools every morning.If we don't change anything, these traffic jams will be much worse and more dangerous next year.
There is an alternative--we could encourage more children to walk and ride their bicycles to school.It is healthier for the kids, relieves parents of stress, and benefits the environment.There is a state program called "Safe Routes to Schools" which exists to help schools plan ways to encourage students to walk and ride their bicycles to school, and to make that commute safe.

New Student Information System for 2011-12
June 6, 2011
Dear Parents/Guardians of Students in the School District of the City of Royal Oak:
Accessing your student’s grades and attendance online is about to get much easier!
Royal Oak Schools is pleased to announce that, beginning with the 2011-12 school year, we will be replacing several separate parent and student online services with a single, integrated software package, Zangle Parent Connect and Zangle Student Connect.
You will no longer have to keep track of separate passwords for food service, parent contact
information, student grades and attendance! You will be able to access this information for all of your children, all in one place, using a single password. Students, using Zangle Student Connect, will have access to view their grades and attendance using their own unique password.
Zangle may look new to you, but it will provide the same valuable information about your student’s grades and attendance that you are used to getting from Royal Oak Schools. Zangle will also provide you with news updates, email notifications, and emergency phone alerts.
Next school year, you may discard your current passwords for P-Link, ParentWeb, and PIV. Your new Zangle password -- and more information -- will be sent to you to the address on file via US mail in August. Contact the School District (248) 435-8400 (X1217) if you do not receive your password by August 31, 2011.
If you have questions, or want to know more about Zangle, please contact Virginia Meeks at (248) 435-8400 (X1217) or Kevin Kurkowski at (248) 435-8400 (X1242).
Thank you for your patience during the conversion to the improved Student Information System in Royal Oak Schools.
Sincerely,
Cheryl Goodgine
Executive Director, Administrative Services & Technology

Emergency Notification System
It is important to be able to quickly notify parents and other concerned adults of District or school-wide emergencies.
A District-wide Emergency Notification System is now being used in the School District of the City of Royal Oak.
This telephone and email broadcast system, will notify parents/guardians of District or school-wide emergency situations such as snow days, school closures, unexpected transportation issues, etc.
The Emergency Notification System quickly and efficiently notifies parents with pointed and targeted messages via telephone and/or email contacts. It will be important that all Student Information forms are updated for accurate telephone and email contact information.
The Emergency Notification System will not be utilized for routine or regular communication. The contact information will not be shared or disclosed. Schools and classrooms will continue to communicate with families in other typical ways (phone calls, email, etc.).
Parents: To update your contact information, please use the Parent Web system, or contact the main office or your school. (added 9.29.09)
