Important Reminders

 

Picture Day: Wednesday, October 2 (form attached)

Individual student photos will be taken next Wednesday. Please click here to download the photo order form, due to Mrs. Chung in the Main Office by Monday morning (September 30). Full-class pictures are taken in the spring.

 

**Photo sessions begin first thing in the morning; please be sure your kids are on time so they don't miss their class's slot!**

 

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. 

 

From the Lost & Found

A pair of Burberry eyeglasses are waiting for their owner in the Main Office. Please see Mrs. Chung to pick them up.

 

Missing something? Please check the box across from the Main Office.

Dear Parents,

 

I know there have been some communication and organizational issues with the extracurricular programs and La Garderie. Please know that we are taking steps to rectify and tackle these issues rapidly. We are looking into online registration programs and getting more volunteers to assist. If you have any thoughts feel free to share them with me. Thank you for your understanding.

  • October Camp registration is online - the link brings you to sign up Genius. The week costs $300 and the day costs $65. Please let me know if you have any questions.
  • Invoices for clubs with the school tax ID are being generated and will be sent out this week.
  • Reminder: Yoga pour les Petits, A La Mode, SSAT, and Sports pour les El�mentaires have been canceled. 
  • Theater Club is now on Thursdays.

Please do not hesitate to contact me with questions, comments, or concerns. Merci beaucoup!
