Child Outreach Screening: Form to Complete
Hearing, speech, developmental and vision screenings will take place at FASRI April 9-11 for children ages 3-5. Please complete this form and return it to the Main Office at your earliest convenience. Merci.
Saying Goodbye to our School Secretary
We are sad to announce that Leah, our wonderful school secretary, is leaving FASRI at the end of the school year. She has been an indispensable addition to our team and a welcoming presence for our parents for six years, and we wish her the best of luck in the future! We will miss her greatly.

As a result, we are now recruiting a francophone secretary/receptionist with some bookkeeping skills, if possible. If you or someone you know would be interested, please send a CV and references to headofschool@fasri.org. 
Grandparents' Day Volunteers Needed
Grandparents' Day is just around the corner: Friday, April 27. A few parent volunteers are needed to help the day run smoothly. If you are interested, please contact Raissa Mensah at rmensah@fasri.org.
