The Fashionable Times Blog Principal's Message 10.4.16

Greetings Fashion Families from your Principal Daryl Blank.  We have a short week this week.  Incredibly, we are already in October and only 11 days away from the end of the first marking period.  Make sure you and your child are checking Jupiter Grades to know where they stand in their classes.  Your child should be checking their HSFI email every day.  Students should be getting in the habit of checking their HSFI email every day because they will lose out on many opportunities if they don’t do so.  Seniors are emailed college information almost on a daily basis by HSFI.

On the school website - www.fashionhighschool.net - is a document that outlines the school committees that HSFI parents can participate in.  The committees includes the Advocating & Preparing for Post-Secondary Success (APPS) Committee; the Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (Fashion Dollars) Committee; the Academic & Career and Technical Education Accreditation Committee; the Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) Committee and the School Safety Committee.  Descriptions of the committee are on the document. It would be great to have as many HSFI parents as possible to get involved in developing our strategic plans to make HSFI better each day.

On the school website - www.fashionhighschool.net - is a document that has the information on all our school clubs and activities.  Please feel free to contact the HSFI staff members who run these clubs and activities.  Please encourage your children to join a club or activity to connect them to the school.

If you have not done so yet, your child’s lunch application is now due.  This is important to make sure your child pays or does not pay the appropriate amount of money for lunch.  In addition, Title I funding in New York City is tied to the information that parents/guardians provide on the yearly lunch application.  The High School of Fashion Industries receives nearly $1 million in Title I funding each year.  You can now fill out your lunch application online at https://www.myschoolapps.com/


Thank you!
