The Fashionable Times Blog Principal's Message 12.11.16

Greetings Fashion Families from your Principal Daryl Blank. 

We have an exciting week ahead with multiple student showcases.

First up is our Holiday Windows unveiling this Wednesday, December 14.  This windows unveiling is part of our partnership with Barney’s New York and their Creative Ambassador Simon Doonan.  The unveiling in at 6:00 pm in the school lobby.  Our Fashion Design students have the Fashion Show, our Graphics and Illustration students have the Senior Art Show and this showcase event is a big deal for our Visual Merchandising students.

Then on Friday, December 16, it would be wonderful if you and your family could attend our SING musical performance.  SING is a fun and exciting musical competition show that is written, produced, performed and designed by our students.  Students are involved in SING in many different ways including set & costume design, dancing, singing, acting, musical performance, script & songwriting, and marketing. There are two shows this Friday, one at 4:30 pm and the other at 7:30 pm.  Our SING Coordinator, Ms. Vega, and our students have been rehearsing non-stop and we need to support their efforts – bring friends and families as we celebrate the performing arts at HSFI!

Every week I am going to highlight the ways in which our HSFI families can volunteer to support the school.  Next week, the student government has two events on Thursday, December 22, that we could use help with.  First, is Henna Day where we have some students doing henna for their classmates.  We need assistance selling tickets and monitoring participation – the time frame is from 10:30 am – 2:00 pm.  The second is the HSFI Showcase where our performance groups including our dance teams will be presenting their skills in the auditorium from 3:45 pm until 5:30 pm. We need ticket collectors, ushers and ticket sales help.  Please email me directly at dblank@schools.nyc.gov if you are able to volunteer your time and efforts to these events.

We have been working on developing a Homework Policy for the school.  At HSFI, community members – students, parents and staff – do well when there is consistency among our policies.  Please go to the school website to view the policy and there is a link to a survey where you can give your comments on the policy if you wish.

The Homework Policy Survey link is:

Make sure you and your child are checking Jupiter Grades to know where they stand in their classes.  Students should be checking their HSFI email every day.

We maintain a weekly blog for HSFI Parents - the link is: http://hsfifashionabletimes.blogspot.com/

The school website has a section specifically for HSFI Parents – the link is: www.fashionhighschool.net


Thank you!
