Greetings Fashion Families from your Principal, Daryl
Blank.
As
you are planning your schedule for the week I hope you can attend our January
Parents Association meeting this Wednesday, January 18 at 6:00 pm in Room 829.
We have 6 days left until the Fall term ends. The grades that teachers submit at the end of
January are the grades that colleges and universities will see. Make sure your child finishes the semester
strong – students should take advantage of staff tutoring and tutoring from our
National Honor Society students that are available every day to help out their
classmates.
January Regents will take place from Tuesday, January 24
through Friday, January 27. Check with
your child about whether or not they are scheduled to take any exams – Regents
exam invitations were distributed last week.
Our main test is the English Regents, primarily for our 11th
graders. When students come to school
for these Regents exams they should bring: (1) Exam tickets (2) Student
identification card and (3) 2 pencils and 2 pens. It is important that students DO NOT BRING ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT INTO
THEIR TESTING ROOM. We tell students to put their electronic equipment
in their lockers before their exam. The
presence of this electronic equipment with your child will result in their
score being invalidated and given a 0 on the exam. This electronic equipment policy is New York
State law. Please contact anyone of our
Assistant Principals—Ms. Moore (English); Mr. Kohm (Math); Mr. Rodrigues
(Social Studies); Ms. Frank (Science) - if you have any specific questions
about these exams.
Thank you to all the Fashion families that have contributed to our
Air Conditioner campaign. Fashion families
need to understand that it is going to take every single HSFI family to
contribute to this campaign – if every family gives what they can, we will hit
our goal and get air conditioners in every single classroom. Please do not think that some other family
will take care of it. We have an amazing
opportunity with the anonymous donor matching all our donations up to
$50,000. So far, we have raised $10,000
which equates to $20,000 with the matching donation. Please give what you can. Remember all donations are tax deductible.
If you or someone
you know wants to write a check to contribute to the campaign, the check should
be made out to HSFI Alumni Association. Your child can drop it off in Room 819 or it
can be mailed to the school at 225 West 24th Street, New York, NY
10011 and made to Attention to me, Daryl Blank, Principal.

As
usual, every week I am going to highlight the ways in which our HSFI families
can volunteer to support the school. On Monday, February 6th
from 9 am to Noon, seniors will be getting their caps and gowns measured in the
student lounge - volunteers are needed to help organize students as well as
manage the photo station that will be set up for the day. We have a
Homecoming Dance scheduled for Saturday, February 11 – we would appreciate any
parents who would be willing to chaperone the dance. Please contact me directly if you are
interested in these volunteer opportunities.
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/
