The Easton School Committee meeting on September 18, 2025, highlighted significant updates in student registration processes and upcoming community events, setting a proactive tone for the school year.
Assistant Superintendent Pruitt announced a shift in student registration back to individual schools, a move welcomed by school staff. This change aims to streamline the registration process while ensuring that residency checks remain centralized at the administration office. Pruitt emphasized the importance of keeping staff trained on evolving residency laws, which are crucial for maintaining compliance and supporting families.
In addition to registration updates, the committee discussed an upcoming Title I intervention night scheduled for October 23 at Easton Middle School. This event aims to engage families from Richardson Olmstead and Easton Middle School, providing insights into intervention programs available to students.
The meeting also touched on the anticipated release of MCAS data, with reports expected by the end of September. Parents will soon have access to their children's performance data through a new online portal, allowing them to track academic progress more easily.
Committee members shared personal experiences from recent school events, including a successful Easton Tricentennial block party and back-to-school nights, reinforcing community engagement and the importance of parental involvement in education.
As the meeting concluded, the committee prepared to enter executive session to discuss personnel strategies, ensuring that sensitive negotiations remain confidential. The proactive discussions and community-focused initiatives signal a strong start to the school year in Easton.
