IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: Severe Weather Update for Royal ISD

Greetings Falcons,

I hope you’re having a great day. Royal ISD has been actively monitoring the development of Hurricane Laura. All district facilities will be closed on Wednesday and Thursday; however, RISD staff will be working remotely on those days. All scheduled extracurricular activities are cancelled for Wednesday and Thursday. Since Laura is a fast-moving storm, we should see the effects to our area on Thursday and will make a decision at that time regarding Friday. RISD WiFi buses will be available on Wednesday for our students from 8:00am to 11:30am and 12:00pm to 3:30pm. As of this time, the WiFi buses will not be available on Thursday. Click here to view the schedule.

Students should plan to engage in remote learning as planned on Wednesday and Thursday.

The National Weather Service recommends that all hurricane preparedness be complete by Wednesday at 6pm. Landfall is expected late Wednesday/early Thursday.

We will utilize the district callout system, social media, and the district website to communicate additional updates.

Thank you,

Rick Kershner
