​  Royal ISD Above and Beyond Award

Greetings, Falcon community!

Earlier today, we temporarily closed our Chromebook distribution. We would like to share with you the complete story. A courier was scheduled to deliver a shipment of new Chromebooks by 10:30am today. We found out around that time that the shipment was delayed. Rather than waiting, our Facilities and Tech team leaders drove to Houston, where they loaded the devices themselves to get them to our students as soon as possible. Compounding the situation was the Harris County shelter in place order that was announced this morning.

Upon their return to RISD, they unpacked the devices and worked to quickly configure them for student use.  We are blessed to have Royal employees who go above and beyond to do whatever is needed to keep our students learning! When faced with this situation, they sprang into action without hesitation. The RISD Administrators cannot thank Mike Nicholas and Derrick Dabney enough for their commitment to our students!

Our campus teams will begin distributing the new Chromebooks as soon as possible. We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused.
