Hello, all Royal Oak Families,
On behalf of your 2017/18 Royal Oak Middle School PAC Executives, we would like to thank you all for giving us the opportunity to represent you this school year.
As the school year is coming to an end we would like to announce that there are still a few PAC positions available. This year we estimate receiving $20.00 per student in gaming funds, these funds can be used for field trips, classroom funds per student, swimming programs, sports programs, math manipulatives, Reading program, and so much more for our students. Without PAC Executives, we lose these funds.
Every parent is a member of the PAC and I encourage you all to come out and get involved. New ideas are always welcome and there are all kinds of ways you can help support ROMS.

If you want to see events and services similar to what we have accomplished in the past continue for next school year, please take the time to nominate parent/guardians for executive positions. You may nominate yourself if you are interested in holding a position. Please email romsparents@gmail.com we will be hosting a final executive meeting on June 14th with the current executives as well the new incoming executives. Hope to see the PAC executives positions filled by then.
Together the parents of Royal Oak Middle School can continue to make our school a great place for our kids, and I think you will all agree…OUR kids are worth it!!
Thank you for your continued support!!!
