In the Fall: please be sure students have a coat or vest.
In Winter: please be sure students have a warm coat, hat, mittens, snow pants, and boots.
In the Spring: please be sure that students have a coat, vest, and/or water repellent coat. Rain boots and winter boots are encouraged as long as students have appropriate shoes for indoors.

During Fall and Spring, please pack a sun hat and sunscreen for your child. Please inform the teacher that your child has sunscreen so that the teacher may remind the student to put it on.

Students are required to dress themselves and keep track of their clothing. Please make sure to check Lost & Found bins regularly. If a student’s attire is unacceptable, parents may be called to come pick up their child.

Sick Policy

When ill students attend school, they slow their own recovery and pose a health risk for their classmates.

A student should not attend school if they:
– have a fever
– persistent severe pain
– severe cold symptoms
– have been vomiting
– have diarrhea

Children exhibiting any of these symptoms while at school will be sent home.

The school can not dispense medications. If your child requires medication, please give it to your child before school starts or after school.

Lunch Program

Students may bring  for their own lunches box or  purchase the Cafe de Vie with Chef Raul hot lunch program. 

Chef Raul will be using a program called MealManage to streamline the lunch choosing and buying process. On the MealManage platform, parents will be able to choose lunch from the offered menus, purchase the lunch, add money to their child(ren)'s account, and manage their email notifications.

FASRI has a nut free policy. Please check the ingredients of packaged foods when sending your child(ren) to school with a snack. Please do not make snacks that contain nuts for your child(ren) to bring to school. Please refrain from packing candy for your child(ren) as candy often contains traces of nut products.
