The Fashionable Times Blog Principal's Message 2.3.19

Greetings Fashion Families from your Principal, Daryl Blank. 

This coming Monday, February 4 is a regular bell schedule and a normal school day.  Our special schedule that is normally the First Monday of the month will take place next Monday, February 11.  The NYC Department of Education does not allow any special schedules during weeks where there are less than 5 days of instruction.  There is no school on Tuesday, February 5 in celebration of the Lunar New Year.  Let me repeat to avoid any confusion - This coming Monday, February 4 is a regular bell schedule and a normal school day and there is no school on Tuesday.

I wanted to remind all Fashion Families that our computer lab opens at 7:30 am and closes at 5:00 pm.  Students can their work on these computers and print out documents that they need to.  The only class periods that it is not open right now are Periods 8 and 9. Our hope is that the lab will be open Period 9 by next week.  Please tell your children that they should take advantage of the lab to complete their work.

I want to share with Fashion Families that we have been working on the beautification of our student lounge.  We have purchased new furniture, vacuumed and scrubbed clean all the furniture we already had and put on a protective spray on all of the furniture.   Now that the lounge is going to reopen, there are some expectations for all students who use the lounge to maintain a clean and pleasant environment.  You have received these expectations via Jupiter Grades.  Students have received these expectations via Jupiter Grades and their HSFI email.  If students cannot follow these expectations, they will be asked to leave.   The lounge is a privilege. Only a few schools in the city provide a space like this for students.  Students need to respect the space and make it their own.    

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!
