Greetings Fashion Families from your
Principal Daryl Blank.
First, I wanted to address the
explosion that took place on Saturday night close by to HSFI. I have been assured by the NYC Department of
Education that all will be safe as school begins on Monday. The transit system will be fully operational
for the Monday morning commute. I totally
understand your concerns, but our neighborhood might be the safest place to be
following what took place. It is
important that your child attend school and keep their education going in the
right direction. I will email and call
HSFI families if I get additional information.
As you are planning your schedule for
the week I hope you can attend our first Parents Association meeting of the
school year, this Wednesday, September 21 at 6:00 pm in Room 829.
Please encourage your child to attend
the Student Club Fair that will take place during the lunch periods this
Wednesday and Thursday. We have over 30
clubs that will have student and staff representatives available to speak
to. When I get the complete list, I will
send out to Fashion Families and post on the school website.
I also want to highlight a new
computer lab that we created for HSFI students.
The computer lab is located in Room 201 and has 34 computers along with
color printers. The computer lab is open
at 7:30 am until 9:00 am when second period begins. It is open during the lunch periods. It is open after school from 2:45 pm until
5:00 pm. Please have your child make use
of the lab if they need it.
If you have not done so yet, 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 at https://www.myschoolapps.com/
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. If you do not submit your
application by the end of September, your child will have to pay full price for
lunch.
Thank you!
