Important Reminders

 

Background checks for volunteers

All FASRI volunteers, including parents, must now undergo fingerprinting and background checks due to new laws in Rhode Island.


Please go to the office of the RI Attorney General, 150 South Main Street in Providence, to obtain a statewide background check. The cost is only $5.00. 

 

Drop-off for Maternelle students

If you arrive after 8:40 PM to drop off your Maternelle student, please come to the Main Office and your child's assistant teacher will be called to pick up him/her. This will avoid unnecessary distractions and interruptions during the morning activities.

 

Drop-off for Elementary students

Students in Elementary school should now be arriving at their classrooms on their own. If you have to walk them in, please take them as far as the stairs and let them go the rest of the way.

 

"Open Homeroom" mornings begin next week; look for the schedules in Ms. Talarico's update below. These once-weekly mornings allow parents to visit class at drop-off time.
