The Fashionable Times Blog Principal's Message 10.9.17

Greetings Fashion Families from your Principal Daryl Blank.

First, thank you for your cooperation in supporting a student in distress this past week.  Please let someone at the school know if your child is having any sort of difficulty – whether it is in classes understanding what is being covered in class or having problems getting along with other students or just not feeling well.  We are here to help and will do whatever we can to support them.

I wanted to clarify the timing for the Lateness Plan.  For 1st period on regular schedule, students need to be in the school building by 8:15 am (5 minutes after the music stops playing) to NOT be considered late.  If students arrive to school after 8:15 am and have a first period class, students will be subject to the lateness plan.  For 2nd period on regular schedule, students need to be in the school building by 9:04 am (5 minutes after the music stops playing) to NOT be considered late.  If students arrive to school after 9:04 am and have a second period class, students will be subject to the lateness plan.  Right now, students’ work job in life is to be a student - students need to be ON TIME to work.  We are doing right by students with this lateness plan - in the future if they are consistently late in college, they will fail college classes that you are paying for - in the future if they are consistently late to work, they will be fired from their job.  As always, we will check train delays and cancel the plan based on transit delays.

The organizational school planners are in - they will be available on Tuesday in the FLY school store.  The planners cost $4.00.  We had approximately 200 students pre-order a planner - the planners at this time will only be sold to the students who pre-ordered them.  I ordered additional copies - once this group of students purchase these planners, we will make the extra copies available for purchase to additional students.  The $4 price will be the same.

All students and their families still need to submit lunch applications.  You can now fill out your lunch application online at https://www.myschoolapps.com/.  If you do not want to do the lunch application online, we have paper copies of the application all throughout the school building.  The easiest place for your child to pick up a paper lunch application is in the school lobby when they arrive to school or in the school’s main office in Room 125.  All paper applications should be returned to the school’s main office in Room 125.  I hate to bother you about these lunch applications, but they are necessary to get the much needed funding for the school.

It is critically important that all HSFI students check their HSFI email & Jupiter Grades everyday.  We will be sending important information out through these tools – if students do not check them, they will miss out on some valuable opportunities and not know what is going on in the school.

Thank you!
