The Fashionable Times Blog Principal's Message 6.9.19


Greetings Fashion Families from your Principal, Daryl Blank.

This Monday is a ‘First Monday of the Month’ schedule where students will start school later and be dismissed from school early so that our staff can meet in teacher teams for professional development.  Students who begin school 1st period will start at 8:30 am.  Students who begin school 2nd period will start at 9:09 am.  Students who finish school after 8th period will be dismissed at 1:43 pm.  Students who finish school after 9th period will be dismissed at 2:22 pm.

We have 6 days of classes left before Regents examinations.  Make sure your children know this and appreciate the importance of finishing the school year strong.  Students must understand the grades that they receive in June will be the ones that colleges will see.  Make sure you and your children know that 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.  It is important that you and your children know where they stand in their classes and what needs to be done to pass if they are in danger of failing.  If a student fails a class, it should not be a surprise to you or them.  Summer school for students who fail classes begin on Monday, July 1.  This summer, HSFI will be located at Park West High School in Manhattan as our building will be closed for construction.

This week is a regular week of classes and the last full week of classes before the Regents exams.  On Monday, June 10, is the culminating event of our industry partnership with the Kleinfeld Bridal store which is famous for the ‘Say Yes to the Dress’ television show.  This Tuesday, June 11, is the Senior Awards ceremony.  The last day of classes is Monday, June 17.   

Regents exams begin next Tuesday, June 18.  Exam invitations have been distributed to all students.  Please check with your children to make sure you know which exams they are scheduled to take.  Make sure your children are studying for these exams as they need them to graduate high school and build up their college resume.  Students only report to school on days they have Regents examinations.  The June 2019 Regents examination schedule will be placed on the school website.   Please contact anyone of our Assistant Principals—Ms. Moore (English); Mr. Kohm (Math); Mr. Rodrigues (Social Studies); Ms. Frank (Science); Ms. Boulamaali (Majors) - if you have any specific questions about these exams. 

The last Parents Association meeting is on Wednesday, June 19.

All Fashion families should check out the ‘Student Opportunities’ page on our school website.  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:

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!
