The Royal Oak Middle School mission is to ensure excellence in learning for all in a supportive environment.

Welcome to the Royal Oak Middle School ESL Web Page!

My name is Karina Landis and I am the middle school ESL(English as a Second Language) teacher. I am really glad to be at Royal Oak Middle School and to have the opportunity to work with your 6th, 7th, and 8th grade ELL (English Language Learner) students. As an effective teacher I hope to help guide your student to English language proficiency as well as to become a critical thinker and a lifelong learner.
