Greetings Fashion Families from your Principal, Daryl
Blank.
This is a short week with Spring
Break starting on Friday. There is no school
from this Friday, April 19 to Friday, April 26.
School resumes on Monday, April 29.
As you are planning your schedule for
the week, I hope you can attend our April Parents Association meeting this
Wednesday, April 17 at 6:00 pm in Room 821.
In exciting news, our Senior
Virtual Enterprise Business students will be participating in the International
Youth Business Summit this week. On Monday,
these students will be participating in the Business Plan National
Championships. This is the first year
that we have ever made it to Nationals and we are the only
school representing NYC.
This Thursday, April 18 represents the
end of the second marking period of the Spring term of the school year. Monday, April 29 will mark the beginning of
the third marking period of the Spring term.
Explain to your children that student grades are cumulative, meaning
that all grades count during a given term.
Grades do not start over with the third marking period and there are not
separate grades for each marking period.
Second marking period grades are a combination of the first and second
marking periods. Third marking period
grades and the grades that go on a student’s transcript and seen by colleges
are a combination of the first, second and third marking periods.
When we get back from Spring Break,
it is the start of an exciting time at HSFI with all the student showcases with
our majors beginning. On Wednesday, May
1 we have the International Center of Photography Exhibit Opening in Room 821
at 4:00 pm and then on Friday, May 3 we have the Senior Art Show Opening in the
Auditorium at 4:00 pm. It would mean a
lot to our students if you come to these showcases to show your support.
All Fashion families
should check out the ‘Student Opportunities’ page on our school website. Applications for Summer Youth Employment 2019
are now available. This page has a long list of opportunities that HSFI
students can apply to including summer programs. You should check it out on a regular basis as
new opportunities are constantly being added to the page. The link on the website is:
If your child needs working papers, please visit Ms. Trotta
in Room 101. Working papers take one school day to process if the
application is submitted with all the proper documentation. Please note
that all applicants need a letter from their pediatrician on official
letterhead stating they are fit to be employed. School physicals cannot be used
in place of a pediatrician's letter.
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!
