All School News: Summer Edition

Dear FASRI families,

Bienvenue to the FASRI newsletter. This newsletter is our main channel of regular, school-wide communication. Starting September, the FASRI newsletter will be sent weekly on Wednesdays. Please take a moment to read the newsletter every week for important information and updates throughout the school year.

During the course of the summer, our administration staff are busy with preparation for the upcoming school year including deep cleaning and renovation of classrooms, repainting, working on classroom scheduling, and on.

We are steadfast in our commitment to the excellence of our academic program and the safety and wellbeing of our students, faculty, and staff.

Looking forward to seeing you in September!

Warm regards,

Bénédicte Brouder

Summer reading and School supply lists

Have you started your Summer reading yet? Summer reading/ activities at FASRI provides an important opportunity for our students to practice their dual-language skills.

Browse the school supply lists to get a jump start on your back-to school-errands. We prefer that you supply our students with simple supplies (nothing fancy). If your child wants to keep a “special” pen or pencil, they may, but please leave the extras ones at home. We encourage you to keep and reuse items–such as plastic sheet protectors–at the end of each year to save resources. Merci.

**New Students entering the Passport program, the French summer reading is not required. Please refer to the English reading list. Thank you.**
