Dear Royal Oak Families, We have just heard the breaking news that Niagara students will not return to in-person learning on Monday, January 25 as we previously thought (and had deeply hoped!) A news article for your reading is attached here: ... https://toronto.ctvnews.ca/schools-in-7-southern-ontario-re Though we are counting down the days until learning together will be possible again, we will continue to deliver our Remote Learning Program each day, and strive to ensure it's meeting your child and family's needs- academically, socially and emotionally.

Stay turned because each day this week we will share with our community what our students are learning online. A virtual classrooms doesn’t mean less learning, it means coming up with creative ways to teach so that each child can learn in way that sets them up for success.

6 weeks into school, Royal Oak students are busily engaged in beautiful hands-on learning, while refining their digital competencies each day. At Royal Oak, there is balance between the critical thinking and Inquiry skills needed to gain knowledge, and the technical skills needed to apply that knowledge in today's world. Contact the school to learn how your child can join our excellent programming - either in person or online!

The Royal Oak family was so thankful for the Pizza Day that was provided by two wonderful families today. The food was amazing and we are so grateful to have such incredible families attending Royal Oak.

Watching even our youngest Royal Oak students engage so beautifully with curriculum and ideas from home has been one of the silver linings of being apart. See the incredible work and connection we've been able to enjoy over the last few weeks with our online learning program and visit our website to learn more about it- and how your child can join!

Learning about Science, Engineering, Technology and Mathematics is a key component of programming at Royal Oak. Why? Because these disciplines are at the core of engaging with the world around us, and as this article shows, they also play a fundamental role in setting the foundations for future learning in these critical disciplines (https://www.learningliftoff.com/why-stem-education-is-esse/). Our adventures at Brock University last week provided us with hands-on experience in robotics, coding, 3D model creation, and much more. Join us in spreading the joy of STEM learning at Royal Oak!
