Greetings Fashion Families from your
Principal, Daryl Blank. Two weeks to go
until Regents exams begin. After school
and weekend tutoring has begun. Tutoring
schedules for Math, Global History, United States History, Living Environment
and Earth Science are on the school website.
Please make sure you are touching base with your child and they are
going to the tutoring they need.
An important announcement for HSFI
Parents is that this Wednesday, June 1 is a testing day for students who are
taking the Common Core Trigonometry and Integrated Algebra exams. If your child is not taking one of these
exams, they do not attend school on this date.
Please take a look at a draft of our
Grading Policy for next school year (it was attached to the weekly email I sent out) – the main change is going from letter
grades to numeric grades – teachers would give numeric grades from 65-100. For example, if a student had a 73 average,
their report card grade would be 73. If
a student had a 96 average, their report card grade would be 96. There would be one failing grade – 55.
The grading policy was so far been supported by the School Leadership Team, the
HSFI Parents Association, our student government and our HSFI staff. Please email me directly at dblank@schools.nyc.gov if you have
concerns about the grading policy.
Please make sure you continue to
check out The Fashionable Times Blog where we will include all the important
information you need as Fashion parents.
