Falcon Week at a Glance

Greetings Falcons,

COVID-19 is on the rise in our area. The Houston area is blessed to have one of the most highly regarded hospital systems in the nation. Several hospitals in the Texas Medical Center recently shared guidance and advice for school districts and parents as we work together to best serve the children in our communities. Following are specific guidelines and recommendations for schools, parents, and communities. CLICK HERE to read the letter in its entirety.

Royal took a 61-6 win over Hempstead in the season opener at Falcon Stadium on August 27, 2021. The Royal Marching Sound Machine, Falcon Cheerleaders, and a large crowd of Falcon and Bobcat supporters were present to cheer on their teams. Hempstead scored a touchdown in the first quarter. Royal scored 3 touchdowns in the first quarter, 2 in the second, 3 in the third, and 1 in the fourth, along with several field goals. The team looks forward to a great season.

Sending a huge thank you to the super hero Royal ISD maintenance team, who completed a huge list of projects over the summer to get our facilities ready for the return of our Falcon learners. CLICK HERE to view the list of projects.

Congratulations to Royal Early College High School student Melani Alanis, who completed an internship at The Katy Times newspaper over the summer. Throughout her time at the paper, several of her articles were published. Melani is heavily involved in activities at Royal High School, including cheer, FFA, UIL Academics, and much more!

When asked about Melani's work, Katy Times News Editor stated, "During her time with us over the summer, the Katy Times has been honored to have a talented young journalist like Melani on our team. Her work has been exemplary and she has shown a commitment during her time with us to not only the paper but to the communities of Royal ISD, Brookshire and Pattison. Knowing Melani is an absolute privilege and we can’t wait to see what this amazing young lady does in the future."

Here is a sampling of the work she's done for The Katy Times:

• Carpentier takes over as Royal cross country, boys basketball coach
• The Hangar Unity Center focuses on community in Brookshire
• Growth headed for Brookshire, Pattison and Royal ISD

Head to The Katy Times website or subscribe to their publication to read more of her stories. More articles by Melani will be published in the coming weeks.

It is with great pleasure to inform you that Royal High School is hosting our 1st Annual Girls Student Athlete Parent Night meeting on Sep 2, 2021 @ 6pm in the RHS Cafeteria. This meeting will give parents and community an opportunity to hear about all the exciting changes taking place in girls athletics; with new coaches, visionary leadership, and advanced opportunities being presented to the young ladies here at Royal High School.

We truly believe that in order for our girls to compete on the optimal level and be provided with athletic and academic excellence, we must create a space of opportunity through positive reinforcement, improvement, and team effort from coaches, teachers, parents and community. Please take the time to stop by and enjoy fellowship with the Royal Girls Athletic Department, you wont regret it!

Please feel free to pass to parents, friends, and community!

In a recent phishing scam, scammers told users that they have violated copyright laws and must take immediate action to protect their account. The scammers claim that the content the user posted, such as an Instagram photo or a YouTube video, violates copyright law. Users are told that they must immediately click a link to protect their account from suspension or deactivation. However, in a recent version of this scam, the scammers are trying to get you on the phone with a fake support tech.

The way this scam works is that scammers send a fake Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DCMA) complaint that informs users about a potential copyright violation. The user is told that they can click a link to see the original copyright complaint or they can call a phone number to contact technical support. When the user tries to click the complaint link, they are taken to an error page. This error page is used to pressure the user into calling the free, fraudulent phone number instead. Once the user calls, the fake technical support team uses social engineering tactics to pressure the users into revealing sensitive information.

Don’t fall for this trick! Follow the tips below:

• Beware of urgent messages. Cybercriminals use this sense of urgency to pressure you into acting quickly.
• Never give away sensitive account information. Organization’s IT teams will not ask for sensitive information, such as passwords, over the phone or over email.
• Don’t call without verifying the phone number. Verify the organization’s phone number by checking their official website.
