"A Four Star
School"
At Royerton, we
focus on more than just the 4R's. In cooperation with parents and
community, we are dedicated to providing students the opportunity to
become
responsible, reliable, receptive, respectful, resourceful, and
ready for the future. As you read about Royerton
Elementary, you will see why parents are anxious for their children
to be a part of our Royerton family.

Attendance

the school by 9:00 a.m. if your child is not going to attend school
with the reason for his/her absence. If your child has a doctor’s

Volunteer
Approval Process - We
thank our many wonderful volunteers that help our students each day
at Royerton Elementary. To help ensure the safety of our students,
Delaware Community School Corporation has a new policy for our
volunteers. Any volunteer must fill out a Volunteer Approval
Form if they volunteer for the following:
a.
Field trip
b.
Working with students in a room other than the regular
classroom without Del-Com faculty/staff member’s direct supervision.

Any overnight trip.
If a
person who wants to volunteer with a class falls under any of the
above qualifications they must:
- Fill out a
Volunteer Approval Form that is located in the office

If you are asked by our
teachers to be a volunteer as described above, please come to the
elementary office and we will be able to help you through the
process.
Thank you in advance for understanding our new policy and working
with us to ensure a safe environment for our students.
