RI Election Days: No Student Bus Service
RI public schools are closed on election days, meaning there will be no school buses for FASRI students on November 6. Please plan accordingly.
Morning Drop-Off
If you pull up on the school side of John Street to let out your children, please be sure to stay in your car and let your children exit. We have staff to help if needed. This keeps the line moving smoothly. Merci.

A message from the Embassy
There has been some worry recently, regarding the unrest in the Middle East. This morning, we received confirmation from the French Embassy in Washington, D.C., that there is no cause for alarm for French schools in the States at this time. We will be sure to keep our community updated.

Mosquitos and evening activities
This week, the RI Department of Health issued recommendations to prevent mosquito-borne illness:
- Avoid outdoor activities during dawn and dusk. Mosquitoes are most active at this time
- If you must be outside at dawn or dusk, wear an insect repellent with no more than 30 percent DEET
- Wear long-sleeve shirts and long pants when possible to avoid exposing skin to mosquitoes
