HSFI FASHIONABLE TIMES

Greetings Fashion Families from your Principal Daryl Blank. 

I wanted to share with Fashion Families some important information for the beginning of the school year, especially for new students.

#1

Wednesday, September 9 will be a full day of instruction so students should come prepared to work.  Students will finish their day at either 2:47 pm or 3:37 pm depending on their schedule.

#2

The school store will be open on the first day of school for students.  Gym shirts are $10.  Gym shorts are $10.  Locks for student lockers are $8.  Do not worry if you do not purchase the gym uniform on the first day of school as you will be given a couple of days to get them.

#3

As far as lunch goes, the school cafeteria will be open for breakfast and lunch.  Breakfast is free for all students.  If you were in the NYC school system last year, the amount of money you pay or do not pay for lunch carries over from last year until you submit a new application.  If you are new to NYC or NYC public schools, you have to pay full price for lunch until a lunch application is submitted.  Full price for lunch is $1.75.

#4

Unfortunately, there is scaffolding around our beautiful school building.  I am excited to announce that the school is undergoing a construction project where we will get getting a brand new fire alarm and public announcement system.

The postcard from the school with the classroom your child should report to on the first day should be headed your way if you did not receive it already.

If you have any specific questions the best way to contact the school this weekend or on Tuesday is to email either myself at dblank@schools.nyc.gov or Assistant Principal Danielle Silva at dsilva3@schools.nyc.gov.  We will try to get back to you as soon as possible.

On an operational note, your child’s lunch application is now due.  This is important to make sure your child pays or does not pay the appropriate amount of money for lunch.  In addition, Title I funding in New York City is tied to the information that parents/guardians provide on the yearly lunch application.  The High School of Fashion Industries receives nearly $1 million in Title I funding each year.  You can now fill out your lunch application online athttps://www.applyforlunch.com/

If you are not receiving this message by email, this online application link will be posted on the school website at www.fashionhighschool.net.  You will need the school’s zip code to start the online application which is 10011.

Thank you!
