3rd through 8th Grade Benchmark Testing

Students in grades 3 through 8 will take part in Benchmark Testing during the next 2 weeks (see dates above).

To help your child be prepared for testing, please ensure:

Students get plenty of rest the night before
Students arrive to school on time (by 8:15 am)
Students eat a nutritious breakfast at home or at school (free breakfast is provided)

Benchmark testing helps track student progress and identify learning gaps. It provides educators with data to guide instruction, adjust teaching strategies, and ensure students are on track to meet academic standards.

🏆 ROSA Spirit Competition

On Friday, October 10th we will have a school spirit competition!

Students who wish to participate are encouraged to be creative and wear their school spirit attire.

The class that wins will get popsicles and Dojo points!

Soups and Ceramics

Royal Oaks is proud to announce our first annual "Soups and Ceramics” event. This event is a unique, student-led fundraising event that brings together creativity, culinary skills, and community spirit for a great cause.

The event will be a collaborative effort between ROSA (Royal Oaks School of the Arts) students and CHS (Concord High School) students, culminating in a one-night-only event on November 20th from 5-7pm, where families are invited to enjoy a warm bowl of soup in a handcrafted ceramic bowl — all while donating profits into local food distribution charities.

Please see the attached flyer for more information and RSVP by November 1st. We hope to see you all there!
