The Fashionable Times Blog Principal's Message 10.22.17

Greetings Fashion Families from your Principal Daryl Blank.

It was great to see so many HSFI Families at our October Parents Association this past Wednesday at our annual Financial Aid night. 

Monday marks the beginning of the second marking period.  You and your child need to understand that student grades are cumulative, meaning that all grades count during a given term.  Grades do not start over with the second marking period and there are not separate grades for each marking period.  Second marking period grades are a combination of the first and second marking periods.  Third marking period grades and the grades that go on a student’s transcript and seen by colleges are a combination of the first, second and third marking periods. 

HSFI is thrilled to continue again this year our Family Visitation Days this Thursday, October 26 and Friday, October 27, 2017. During HSFI Family Visitation Days, you will be able to observe your children in action in their classes.  You may come and leave when you wish during those days.  During your child’s lunch period, you and your child are invited to lunch in the Principal’s conference room.  Assistant Principal Danielle Silva will be welcoming you in the school lobby and giving you an orientation for the visit.  We want to get an idea of how many parents will be visiting and let the teachers know you are coming, so please register online that you will be attending by using the below survey link.

This registration link is also on the home page of the school website under ‘Fashion News’ and ‘HSFI Parents’ at www.fashionhighschool.net 

Please remember that this is not a day to conference with your child’s teachers. You will be able to do this during Parent- Teacher Conferences on November 9 and 10 or by appointment through your child's guidance counselor. As always, HSFI is committed to our partnership with our families!

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!
