The Royall School District is a 4K - 12 school district located in the "Heart of Wisconsin" serving the communities of Kendall and Elroy.  Our district has four attendance centers, all in one location. The student teacher ratio in our K-3 classes is 18 to 1 or below.    We have a total enrollment 4K – 12 of 550 students with 53 certified teachers and 10 certified aides.  Our staff members are involved in year round in-service and staff development opportunities, as they continue to grow professionally and keep abreast with the current educational trends.  Royall Elementary and Intermediate Schools are school-wide Title I schools.  There are 2.5 teachers and 3 paraprofessionals that provide assistance and interventions to students.  We use the data tool, Aimsweb to monitor student growth.  More information is available on our school website.  There are also grade-level copies of our standards-based report cards on the website. We have a SMART board in almost every classroom in the district, six computer lab work stations, four ipad carts, 6 chrome book carts and a wireless network throughout the district

Fall Sports Update

Through lots of discussion between our conference ADs and school administrators, the Scenic Bluffs Conference (with the exception of Hillsboro) has chosen to move all of our fall sports to an alternative season in the spring. In addition, the WIAA has modified the start and end dates for all of our athletic seasons. What this means is that ALL of our athletic schedules are going to change.

This topic was discussed and decided upon by our conference ADs on Monday, August 17th followed by our conference superintendents on August 20th. Unless our Royall School Board objects to this sports plan at their next meeting on August 24th, we will proceed with moving our fall sports to the spring. This was a painful decision in many ways. Trust me my heart hurts for our student-athletes! However, in the current environment, the health risks for our students and fans (of our entire conference) are just too high, and we could not justify moving ahead with fall sports.

It is my hope that the changes will allow us to provide all of our students the opportunity to participate in all three sports seasons. It's not a perfect solution, and it may be inconvenient at times. Please understand that our goal is to try and meet the needs of ALL of our students, not just a specific sport, and the decision was made in the interests of ALL of our student-athletes.

Obviously, it may take some time to develop schedules for everything, so please be patient.  We had 11 Varsity and JV schedules and 7 junior high schedules that took up to two years to develop.  We will be redoing those schedules in a matter of a few weeks.  As we finalize schedules, we'll release them to the public. I can start by giving you the first day of practice for high school sports.
