Greetings Fashion Families from your Principal, Daryl
Blank.
The Spring term has begun and it is important that all HSFI
students start off the term strong.
Students should take advantage of both staff and National Honor Society
tutoring if they need additional support in their classes. Our newly adopted Homework Policy is in
effect. Also, I want to remind all
Fashion families that our student computer lab is open every day, just as it
has been all year, from 7:30 am through 2nd period, during all lunch
periods and from the end of 8th period until 5:00 pm. Students have access to a classroom full of
computers and printers all day long.
This
Monday is a ‘First Monday’ schedule where students will start school later and
be dismissed from school early so that our staff can meet in teacher teams for
professional development. Students who
begin school 1st period will start at 8:30 am. Students who begin school 2nd
period will start at 9:09 am. Students
who finish school after 8th period will be dismissed at 1:43
pm. Students who finish school after 9th
period will be dismissed at 2:22 pm.
As you are planning your schedule for the week I hope you can
attend our February Parents Association meeting this Wednesday, February 8 at
6:00 pm in Room 829. At this meeting we
will be showcasing our Peer Group Connection Mentoring program where many of
our 11th and 12th graders mentor our 9th
graders.
The Air
Conditioner campaign still continues to make good progress with over $16,000
raised. With the matching donation up to
$50,000, we have an excellent chance to get the whole building air conditioned
if we can reach our goal. I did the math
– if every HSFI family contributed $12 each, we would have enough for air
conditioners throughout the school. That
is right, $12 per family. Thank you to
all the Fashion families that have given what they could for this
campaign. Every little bit helps! No
amount is too small! SPREAD THE WORD TO
FAMILY & FRIENDS!
If you or someone
you know wants to contribute cash, please bring the money to Room 819 where we
can give you a receipt. If you want to
write a check to contribute to the campaign, the check should be made out to HSFI Alumni Association. Your child can drop it off in Room 819 or it
can be mailed to the school at 225 West 24th Street, New York, NY
10011 and made to Attention to me, Daryl Blank, Principal. Remember, only $12 is needed from each HSFI
family.

Save the Dates – Thursday, March 16 and Friday, March 17 will be the
dates where Fashion families have an opportunity to come and observe HSFI
classes. I am very excited about this
event that will bring the school and our families closer together. Details coming soon!
As
usual, every week I am going to highlight the ways in which our HSFI families
can volunteer to support the school. We
now have a Parent Volunteer Page on our school website. We have a Homecoming Dance scheduled for
Saturday, February 11 – we would appreciate any parents who would be willing to
chaperone the dance. Please contact me
directly if you are interested in these volunteer opportunities.
Make sure you and your child are
checking Jupiter Grades to know where they stand in their classes. Students should be checking their HSFI email
every day.
We maintain a weekly blog for HSFI Parents - the link is: http://hsfifashionabletimes.blogspot.com/
The school website has a section specifically for HSFI Parents –
