The Fashionable Times Blog Principal's Message 11.12.18

Greetings Fashion Families from your Principal Daryl Blank.

As you are planning your schedule for the week, I hope you can attend our November Parents Association meeting this Wednesday, November 14 at 6:00 pm in the school auditorium.

This week (Wednesday 11/14, Thursday 11/15 & Friday 11/16), we will be conducting instructional rounds in the school with Harvard University with a race and equity lens.  Students and staff will be visiting classes in these rounds to see how race and equity plays out in our classrooms and then will work together on a plan to combat our challenges in this area.  HSFI is one of six schools in the entire United States that has been accepted into a Harvard University partnership to explore how race impacts equity in our school.   

It is critically important that all HSFI students check their HSFI email & Jupiter Grades everyday.  Every day we send out a daily announcements message that lists all the activities for the day and key reminders.  If students do not read these daily announcements and do not check their HSFI email and Jupiter Grades, they will miss out on some valuable opportunities and not know what is going on in the school.

Just remember that Thanksgiving comes early this year – next week we have a short week with the Thanksgiving holiday. 

The following week after Thanksgiving, you will be able to conference with your child’s teachers during Parent- Teacher Conferences on Thursday, November 29 and Friday, 30.  Thursday’s conferences will be from 5:30 pm to 8:00 pm.  Friday’s conferences will be from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm.  As always, HSFI is committed to our partnership with our families!

Thank you!
