As returning families know, Royle is a special place and much more than just a school for our children. We are a community that cares for all of its members, students, parents, teachers and staff. Royle Treatment, a PTO committee whose purpose is to welcome new families as well as help out families who find themselves in need of support due to a family illness, is the cornerstone of this belief.

Royle School and the PTO offer a variety of programs to extend the school experience before and after school. Many interests, sports, music, computers, community volunteering and book clubs are offered. Many of the offerings are listed below with details subject to change. We hope that your children will take advantage of these great programs.
