Winter Recess Reminders
-Boots
-Snow pants
-Winter coat
-Hat
-Gloves or mittens
If a student does not have these items, they will still go to recess but will be asked to remain on black top surfaces only.
Please note that if the temperature (with the wind chill) is 20 degrees or less, we will be inside for recess. We are also inside if it is raining or snowing heavily. Other than than, bundle up because we are going outside for recess. Thank you.
Grade 5 Trivia Night: Friday, January 10th
While you’ve spent time unifying your family over the holidays, now it is parents vs. kids
in a battle of trivia excellence. It is time to see if our 5th graders retained their knowledge during their 2-week break and to see what parents remember as well.
On January 10, 2020 we will have our 5th grade class event from 6:30-8:00pm.
Pizza, cookies and prizes will be given. We would like to have the 5th graders create
their team of 4-6 kids for the Student Team with 1 adult per student as the Parent Team.
Please sign up your team with a team name and team members by January 3rd using the
Sign Up Genius link below:

Student Activity Fees: Overdue Reminder!
In order to help defray/cover the costs of transportation and entrance fees for our NRT Sheep Pasture Program and the YMCA Swimwise Program (Grade 2 only), the Easton Public School system collects activity fees. The fee for Grades 1-6 is $45.00 and was due October 15th. Please pay this fee as soon as possible.
All elementary student activity fees must be completed online through MySchoolBucks. There are no service fees associated with paying online through MySchoolBucks. Please click on the following link to make your payment: https://www.myschoolbucks.com.
Your activity fee makes outdoor learning within the beautiful outdoor conservation areas of Easton possible for every student at RO. Below are pictures from one fourth grade classroom's trip to Sheep Pasture today. These students are learning about their environment in powerful and meaningful ways. This partnership with NRT is unique to our town and it is awesome to see our students learning in the natural world, right in their own backyard. Thank you for your support!
Congratulations to November's Citizens of the Month!
We are so proud of their hard work and the example they set for their school!
