We hope you had a great weekend! Last week, district and campus leadership kicked off the first “Teaching & Learning Walks”, which allowed them to see what’s happening at each of our campuses. It was wonderful to see how Falcons at every campus are learning and growing and soaring every day. They visited RHS, RJH, RES, and ECC, and will visit Royal STEM Academy next week.
Make sure you check royal-isd.net to see what’s happening at Royal! Our students excel in so many areas, so we have numerous opportunities for the community to support them in their endeavors.
Have a wonderful week!

Tips on Safe and Courteous Driving
Please help Royal make before and after school pickup time safe and efficient! Some great guidelines to follow to prevent distractions while driving are:
Phone: down
Eyes: on road and scanning surroundings
Mind: on driving
Things that can wait: texting, calls, eating, grooming, and any other distractions that take your attention off the road! Thank you for keeping our Falcon students and staff safe! #itcanwait
Suicide Prevention Month
September is Suicide Prevention Month. If you or someone you know is struggling or in crisis, help is available. Call or text 988 or chat at 988lifeline.org (en espanol). You’ll be able to speak with a trained crisis counselor any time of day or night. Are you unsure of what to say to a loved one in crisis? Seize the awkward – it could save a life. The Centers for Disease Control offers a Suicide Prevention resource on their website. CLICK HERE to access the Centers for Disease Control Suicide Prevention resource.
Mental health is just as important as physical health. There is, unfortunately, a stigma attached to mental health struggles. If you or someone you love are struggling, please seek help. A doctor may prescribe medication, recommend therapy, or suggest a combination of the two to help overcome your struggles. Your doctor can work with you to adjust or modify any medications to ensure the best outcome. #mentalhealthmatters #endthestigma #itsokaynottobeokay #yourstoryisntover
The Royal Culture & Well-Being team has a number of processes in place to identify potential crises and intervene, as well as a resource page on the district website.
