Attendance – Please call 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 appointment, please be sure to get a doctor’s excuse for his/her absence as well.  In order for your child to receive an excellent attendance award at the end of the school year, a doctor’s and/or dentist’s excuse is required to excuse the absence.  Perfect attendance is awarded at the end of the school year for students who have not missed any day or left early for the whole year.

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.

c.       Any overnight trip.

If a person who wants to volunteer with a class falls under any of the above qualifications they must:

1. Fill out a Volunteer Approval Form that is located in the office
2. Provide a driver’s license to be copied.  A background check will be processed at Central Office and will be valid for one school year for all Del-Com Schools.

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.

Metro Football Hotline Number – Metro Football now has a hotline phone number for people who need information and need to ask questions about Metro Football.  This hotline will give the dates and times of all sign-ups and other information.  Callers will not get a live person to talk to; therefore, they may leave a message and someone from the Metro Board will call them back.  The number is 765-281-4827.

Special Accommodations – The Delaware Community School Corporation provides reasonable accommodations to persons with disabilities attending school activities.  If you or a guest plan to attend an event at one of our schools and require special accommodations, please call the school at least 48 hours in advance, so the school may have a reasonable opportunity to provide an accommodation.
