Students from Willowick Middle School are teaming up with younger learners at Royalview to design and build adapted equipment that supports a wide range of physical and learning needs. Through hands-on problem-solving and collaboration, the middle schoolers are using creativity, empathy, and STEM skills to develop tools that help Royalview students participate more fully in classroom and recreational activities. The project not only promotes inclusion but also gives both groups of students a meaningful, real-world experience in making a positive impact on their school community.

 

At Royalview, we proudly inducted our new group of Royal Council students!

These outstanding students have exemplified leadership, kindness, and responsibility, serving as great role models for their peers. We are excited to see all the positive things they will do for our school and community this year.

We were honored to be joined by Mayor Vanni, who shared inspiring words with our students. Thank you for joining us, Mayor Vanni!

 

Royalview Elementary will benefit from several exciting capital improvements over the next year, including new lighting, electrical upgrades, air conditioning, new flooring, ceilings, and painting. These renovations will take place throughout the 2025–2026 school year and into the summer of 2026. There will not be any disruptions to classes for students, most of the work will be completed outside of school hours. We are continuing to finalize the timeline for each phase of the project and will share regular updates along the way. We are excited about these enhancements, which will create an improved, modern learning environment for our students and staff.  

Whether it is reading, science, math or social studies, our students learn best by doing! Our teachers continually find creative ways for students to explore their interests, challenge their thinking, and collaborate with one another. Building the competencies that are in our Portrait of a Graduate - collaborator, communicator, critical thinker, creator, empathetic and resilient - leads to more confident and independent learners. 

The buzz in our classrooms is one of excitement - the teachers are enthusiastic and the children are eager to learn!

Have you ever wondered how bridges are built, why rockets launch into space, or how video games are created? Our elementary students are diving headfirst into these exciting questions and more through our STEAM program!

STEAM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math. By integrating these subjects, we are fostering a new generation of creative thinkers and problem-solvers.

What is happening in our makerspaces?

• Building and Designing: Constructing structures, coding robots, creating art, and making 3D models
• Experimenting and Innovating: Conducting science experiments, testing engineering designs, and exploring artistic techniques
• Collaborating and Communicating: Working together to solve challenges and present their ideas

Our students are so excited about STEAM! This is one of the encore classes children experience along with physical education and music.
