Notes from the Main Office
Missing something?
Check the lost and found, across from the Main Office! There are a good number of children's coats, hats, and other miscellaneous items.
Child Outreach screenings around the corner
There will be a free Child Outreach Screenings for children in Pre-School, Pre-K, and Kindergarten on April 8 and 9. The program provides families with information about their child's development and offers information about other resources that are available in the community.
There are five components of the screening: - Developmental: movement, language, thinking, socialization, and behavior.
- Speech: self-expression, articulation.
- Hearing
- Vision - a screening using an eye chart, probably very similar to the eye chart at your pediatrician's office.
- Social/Emotional - this screening is a questionnaire that you are asked to fill out in helping us to determine the needs of your child, if any, in this area.
Permission slips will be sent home soon with your children.

Send postcards to Kindergarten
Celine Cyr's Kindergarten class is learning about the countries of the world, and they would like your help!
There are so many different nationalities represented here at FASRI. If you could have a relative overseas (or across the borders!) send our Grande Section a postcard, or if you'd like to send one while traveling over April break, it would be a great way for them to explore new places.
Please address postcards to:
French-American School of Rhode Island
La Grande Section - Celine Cyr
75 John Street
Providence, RI 02906
Merci beaucoup!
