The Royal Oak Schools Wellness Committee, a group of dedicated parents and staff along with the Superintendents office partnered in 2006 to create the district's Wellness Policy. The Wellness Policy was developed in accordance with the National School Lunch Program's Reauthorization Act. The act requires all public school districts produce a policy that addresses the health and well-being of all students. 

Scratch Cooking
Royal Oak Schools is proud to have Executive Chef John O'Connor working hands on with food preparation daily.  John has been an integral part of our continued movement towards scratch cooking.  More and more items are being prepared from scratch at all levels and John's expertise with food and with nutrition education can be seen in the quality of food.
