Our FRC schools partner with the Bristol Board of Education, school administration, guidance staff/school psychologists, classroom teachers and parents of entering kindergarten students to help ensure that our new students and their families are supported long before the first day of school. We ask all parents of our entering kindergarten students to complete an ASQ-SE screen, which helps give us a more complete picture of each child's temperament, strengths, and any possible needs. This helps us ensure your child has the best possible experience when they enter school in the fall. We look forward to working with you!
