Boosterthon Fun Run: Friday, October 8th!
Richardson-Olmsted Families!
We are only 2 weeks away from our Richardson-Olmsted School Fun Run on 10/8. Our goal is to raise $35,000 for a community art project and school mosaic. 2 Weeks Out Flyer.pdf
REGISTRATION IS NOW OFFICIALLY OPEN!
We want all families to help our school by registering on MYBOOSTER.COM today and enter your family’s details. If your family feels it’s not in the position to financially support the school, that’s ok. Families can actually support our school by also SHARING about our fundraiser with friends and family online. Sharing IS supporting. When you register on MYBOOSTER.COM, there are easy share features available that you can use as a great tool to help!
We are working hard to make this fundraiser safe, fun, and successful for everyone!
Thank you for supporting Richardson-Olmsted through the Richardson-Olmsted School Fun Run.

Picture Day Information: Monday, 9/20
Picture Day is fast approaching. Picture forms have been sent home, but we encourage you to order online which is the fastest and most convenient way to order. Below please find information on how to order online and also how RO and our picture vendor, CoffeePond are working to keep students and staff as safe as possible.
Reminder: Student Chromebooks
Also, if you have an issue with a broken or damaged Chromebook or Charger, please email the EPS helpdesk as follows: helpdesk@easton.k12.ma.us. Please do not have your child go to the office for a Chromebook exchange. This will be handled through our amazing IT Department as long as you email them to let them know what's happening.
RO School Council Members Needed
The RO School Council is composed of volunteer parents, community members and faculty. The time commitment is rather minimal, only meeting once a month for about an hour. We will meet virtually this year, so you can attend these meetings from home. The RO School Council advises the principal about school goals and shares other ideas and action steps that help our school grow. The RO School Council works together to create a School Improvement Plan every year that is presented to the Easton School Committee and Superintendent of Schools for approval. We are seeking new members of our school council. Our first meeting is Tuesday, Sept. 21 from 6:00pm - 6:45pm. If you would like to be a part of our school council, please email Mr. Getchell at cgetchell@easton.k12.ma.us at your earliest convenience. Thank you.
Student Activity Fee
In order to help defray/cover the costs of transportation and entrance/registration fees for enrichment activities, the Easton Public School system has been collecting activity fees. This fee assists us in the support of many programs, including our Sheep Pasture program. The elementary fee structure is $45.00 for grades 1-6.
For your convenience, payment can be made through the following website: www.myschoolbucks.com. If you are only able to pay by check, please make the check payable to Easton Public Schools and in the memo, please indicate it is for the student activity fee and include your child’s name. We do not accept any cash payments.
Please note: Students who are on free/reduced lunch are exempt from this fee.
