Greetings Fashion Families from your Principal, Daryl
Blank.
It was great to see so many parents at Parent-Teacher
Conferences this past Thursday and Friday.
Friday was also special for the school with our 26th Annual
Career Day where over 70 speakers from the worlds of fashion, art and business
spoke to our students about their personal journeys and careers.
As you are planning your schedule for the week I hope you can
attend our March Parents Association meeting this Wednesday, March 29 at 6:00
pm in Room 829.
I need your help as the deadline to complete the NYC
Department of Education Parent Survey is this Friday. This
is extremely important to me as Principal!
I want to know
what you think about the school - what we are doing well and what we can
improve on. When you fill out the
survey, please consider the strong partnership between the school and Fashion
families that includes (1) All the phone calls and
emails we send out to our families; (2) Our communication through Jupiter
Grades; (3) Maintenance of our school website and social media accounts; (4)
Our 1st Annual Family Visitation Day that just took place; and (5)
All the volunteer opportunities that we have shared with you on our Sunday
messages. As you know we work hard to
get your children the best education in a safe and clean environment with a
focus on supporting students on the way to college. Besides strong academics, our school has
tremendous opportunities within our fashion, art and business majors and this
year we are partnering with Yale University for Social Emotional Learning lessons. I hope you do not mind, but I will be sending
reminders each day this week. Our goal
is that 100% of Fashion Families complete the survey!
You can do the survey on
paper or online using the below link.
You will need the access code from the survey you received in the mail that
is on the survey itself. If you did not receive your survey in
the mail, please call the Survey Hotline at 1-800-690-8603.
I am very excited to announce that HSFI’s version
of ‘America’s Got Talent’ is this Friday, March 31 with our annual Variety
Show. This event showcases the
performing arts talents of our student including singing and dancing. As always, we welcome families to attend the
event and we can certainly use volunteers to help out with the show. You can contact me directly if you want to
volunteer.
I want to showcase a chance for HSFI families to volunteer at
the school and our Social Emotional Learning committee that takes place on
Monday from 11:30 am to 12:15 pm in Room 821.
This committee is focused on our school-wide belief that emotions
matters and that paying attention to the emotions of our staff, students and
families will have a positive impact on engagement, relationships, health,
decision-making and academic success.
The Advocating and
Preparing for Post-Secondary Success committee will take place on Monday from
9:00 am to 9:45 am in Room 821. This
committee’s primary purpose is to develop a comprehensive four-year plan to
getting Fashion students ready for the college application process so the
college acceptance rate at HSFI increases.
Thank you!
