If your child has an appointment and must leave school early, please be sure to sign them out in the Main Office, and also to sign them back in if they return to school for the rest of the day. Merci!

Delays and closings
FASRI gets in touch with its families in three ways to announce delays and closings in the event of snow: on our website, at www.turnto10.com, and by phone.
If you do not see anything on Channel 10 or our website, we are open for business as usual. If you miss a call from FASRI on a day with inclement weather predicted, please check your voicemail before calling the school. Merci!

Sharing French home help among FASRI families
We are looking for a family to share hours for a housekeeper/nanny. She has worked in Providence for seven years. Before coming to Providence, she nannied for French families in Paris and comes highly recommended. She does wonderful "home" work and is an excellent cook. The bonus is that she is fluent in French. If you would like to work out an arrangement to share her time with us, please contact Martha Pecceu (mnpecceu@yahoo.com).
