Hi Falcons! Falcon Chromebook distribution starts tomorrow at 10am. It will be open 10 to 4 from Monday March 23 to Friday March 27. We have added a third distance learning option for students with their own devices. Visit Royal-ISD.net for complete details.

This organization is in San Antonio but the message still applies. Thank the RISD staff (but do it from 6 feet away)! They are working hard to get our alternative instruction going for our students!

The Royal Times Newspaper has a temporary new home! Visit the Royal High School page, choose Instructional Support and then Royal Times Newspaper.

Attention Falcon parents, in the coming weeks I will be posting activities for you and your child. These are not required by the district, but are activities you can complete with your students to curb boredom and keep them engaged! Look for the Parent Corner logo!

In the coming days, I'll be posting "Just for Fun" invitations to allow you and your students to share pictures related to various themes. Watch for the "Just for Fun" image! I'll compile the pictures onto a single web page to share with the RISD community.

Be flexible when setting curfews Curfews are most effective when parents and teens both have a say in setting them. They should also be flexible, to match the responsibility shown by the teens. Agree with your teen on a "regular curfew" for typical nights. Then you can consider "special-event curfews," which might be earlier or later depending on the circumstances. Agree that your teen will call you if he thinks he'll be late or if his plans change. http://niswc.com/36cVC320271

Use report cards as conversation starters Whether your child's report card is great or shows a need for improvement, use it to enhance your communication with your child and the school. First, talk to your child. Were there grades that surprised him? Made him proud? What does he want to improve? Then, if you have questions, contact the teacher to discuss them. Two-way communication strengthens teamwork…and that helps your child. http://niswc.com/16cVC320271

Hi Falcons! Don’t forget to visit your child’s campus from 10 to 4 each day next week to pick up their Chromebook. We have added a third distance learning option for students with their own devices. Visit Royal-ISD.net for complete details.

Clarification for Falcon Drive-Thru Meals: Any child under 18 can receive a meal. They do not have to be an RISD student.

Thanks to all who shared their pet pictures! Look for more fun "show and tell" days in the coming weeks. https://www.royal-isd.net/o/Royal%20ISD/page/2020-pet-pictures

Start a new tradition with your teen It may not seem like your teen wants to spend time with you, but studies show teens crave connection with their parents. To make sure you have time with your teen, start some rituals together, like going out for a weekend snack or breakfast. Get her involved in making family plans, and sometimes, plan around her interests. Is your teen into sports? Say "There's a game on Saturday I'd love to watch with you." http://niswc.com/36cUC320271

Take steps before leaving your preteen at home alone While young children should never be left at home alone, sometimes parents leave preteens on their own for short periods of time. Before you leave your child home alone, make sure she knows how to reach you. Review what to do in case of fire. Discuss how she should handle phone calls and a knock at the door. Talk about who, if anyone, is allowed in the house and whether your child is allowed to go out. http://niswc.com/16cUC320271

Please note that the "without internet option" requires students to check out a district issued Chromebook. If you have internet AND your student has their own laptop or Chromebook, they may use that instead of the district Chromebook.

Tag someone making a difference as we navigate these challenging times. We say thank you to teachers, custodians, cafeteria workers, administrators, and parents! Let's not forget about the medical professionals who are so selfless!
