Back-to-school season is just around the corner! 🍎✏️

With a little over three weeks until the first day of school on August 31, now is a great time to check your child's school supply list and pick up any remaining items before the end-of-summer rush.

You can find the Royal Oak Schools supply lists here:

The PTA is looking forward to welcoming everyone back for another wonderful school year! We hope you're enjoying these last weeks of summer with family and friends, and we can't wait to see our school community back together soon. 💙📚

*Please label the backpack, scissors, headphones, and water bottle with your child's name. A pencil box will be provided by the teacher.

Today marked the end for this resilient group of 5th graders. You began your journey at Oakland behind a computer screen and returned to the classroom with just a few months left in the year. You wore masks, stayed six feet apart, and persevered through it all.
We are incredibly proud of each and every one of you! Wishing you all the best as you head off to middle school.
To our 5th grade families—thank you for your support and everything you’ve done along the way!
