We are pleased to announce our Citizens of the Month for December (pictured above).

Valentine's Day Information
With Valentine's Day right around the corner, we thought we would provide some information on how we plan to celebrate at RO.
Valentine's Day is a spirit day so students may wear Red. Valentine's cards are welcome at our school. It will be a day of kindness and gratitude for our classmates, teachers and school. Please do not send any food or candy for Valentine's Day. We have free breakfast and lunch for all and all classrooms have a snack time. Our students are fed well. We can save the sweet treats for home. Thank you!

Yearbook Information
The Yearbook Committee is accepting photos for the 2023-2024. yearbook. Pictures should be from various school or class events and should feature RO students and staff.
Please use the following email address to send pictures:.richardsonolmstedyearbook@gmail.com.
Please do so asap as we need to get the digital copy to the publisher soon so we have the printed copies ready for early June. Special thanks to London's mom, Maria Monteiro, for coordinating this effort for the second year in a row.
Ordering information for the yearbook will be coming soon.
RO PTA Leadership Board 2024-2025
If you are interested in a leadership position on the RO PTA for next school year, please email Chris Getchell asap. Our PTA meets once a month, at 7:00pm, and meetings have been virtual. The Boosterthon is our biggest fundraiser and the PTA is minimally involved with that effort. We are looking for people willing to volunteer and to think and develop creative and fun ideas to enrich the school experience for our students.
