The Fashionable Times Blog Principal's Message 12.10.17

Greetings Fashion Families from your Principal Daryl Blank.

Report cards for the second marking period were distributed to students on Friday.  If your child did not show you their report card, ask them to show it to you immediately.  We are in the third marking period of the term – you need to understand that the grades your children receive at the end of January will be the grades that will go on their transcripts and be seen by colleges.  In exciting news, 789 HSFI students earned either Honor Roll (85-89) or Principal Honor Roll (90-100) status for the 2nd Marking Period – that represents 49.2 % of our school population – very impressive!

One of our showcase events of the school year is taking place this week - our Holiday Windows Unveiling is this Thursday, December 14.  This windows unveiling is part of our partnership with Barney’s New York and their Creative Ambassador Simon Doonan.  The unveiling in at 6:00 pm in the school lobby.  All Fashion Families are welcome to attend!  Our Fashion Design students have the Fashion Show, our Graphics and Illustration students have the Senior Art Show and this showcase event is a big deal for our Visual Merchandising students.





















This coming Monday, December 11, we are beginning a Fashion Dollars Bonus Program for students who are on time to school.  All students are eligible for the Fashion Dollar Bonus Program. For each day students are on time to school (as determined by them swiping in with their ID card each morning), they will receive $5 Fashion Dollars.  But wait, there's more!  For each day in a row they are on time, they will receive bonus Fashion Dollars. The more students are on time, the more Fashion Dollars they will receive.

We are always looking for Parent Volunteers to help us.  If you are able to volunteer, please contact Assistant Principal Danielle Silva at 212-255-1235 ext. 1251 or email Ms. Silva at dsilva@hsfi.us

As you may know we are spending a lot of energy and resources on developing a positive school environment – I need your help - please take a moment to fill in this online survey about your thoughts on HSFI’s school environment.  Taking the survey would be greatly appreciated.  Your child can bring proof of the completed survey (a selfie or confirmation print out) to their major teacher and 50 Fashion Dollars will be deposited into their school account. Thank you so much for taking the time to help us constantly improve our schools climate – we will be examining the results of the survey to help improve our school.  Here is the link to the survey – the link to the survey is also in the ‘Fashion Parents’ section of the school website:

Our HSFI App is live – below are the links on this email – the Short cuts for both Apple and Google can be found on the school’s website at the bottom right corner.

It is critically important that all HSFI students check their HSFI email & Jupiter Grades everyday.  We will be sending important information out through these tools – if students do not check them, they will miss out on some valuable opportunities and not know what is going on in the school.

Thank you.
