Reminders and Announcements

Wishing you all a Happy New Year!

 

The cold weather is here! We go to the playground every day for recess.  Will you please make sure that children come to school with appropriate warm clothing. 

 

Thank you very much for your "warm" cooperation,

 

Genevieve Vincent

Education Coordinator

OPEN HOUSE  

Saturday January 7, 2012 10am-1pm 

To current FASRI families, please consider coming to visit the Open House this Saturday. The event gives prospective families a chance to visit the school, but it's also a great opportunity for current families to come and see us too. You are welcome to come and visit your child's future classes in Elementary and Middle School, attend a talk on dual language education by Head of School Dominique Thompson, and ask any questions about the program you may have.   

 

We hope to see you there! 

 

If you have any questions, please contact Louise Jakobson at ljakobson@fasri.org.

 
Admissions 2012/13

For new and sibling applicants: please note that the application deadline is January 31, 2012. We would appreciate receiving applications as soon as possible in order to schedule meetings and evaluations in good time.

 

For current FASRI students, re-enrollment contracts will be sent out the first week of February for return on February 29, 2012.

 

Please contact Louise Jakobson at ljakobson@fasri.org with any questions regarding admissions.

   

Volunteers of the Week 

Bread Sale:
Isolde Mayer and Sue Mazzucco for helping with the sale to support the Middle School field trip. 

MERCI BEAUCOUP! 

Wanted: Beaujolais 2012 volunteers  

  • Hot on the heels of a fantastic event that raised $30,000 for FASRI, we are beginning to plan for November 16, 2012. We have lots of opportunities for parents to get involved, create community, and help FASRI students get the best education possible.
  • This year, we want to strengthen the event further and spread the workload by having two co-chairs of the Beaujolais Committee. If you are interested being a co-chair, please contact Louise Jakobson in the Advancement Office at ljakobson@fasri.org. We can promise you a lot of fun, teamwork, and a great sense of achievement along the way.
  • If you want to be involved, but have less time to commit, there are many other areas in which you can help: auction, publicity and marketing, administrative tasks, decoration, and though it's several months away, helping on the day itself!
  • Thank you in advance. Contact Louise if you would like to get join us. The Beaujolais Festival brings FASRI together to support the school: join us! It's a great cause, and a great way to get involved. Merci.
