Greetings Fashion Families from your
Principal Daryl Blank.
This is the last week of school until our Winter Break –
every day of instruction is important so make sure students are making them
count! All students come back to school
on Wednesday, January 2. Once we get
back from vacation, we will have two and a half weeks of school until the Fall
term ends where teachers submit their final grades that colleges and
universities will see. January Regents
will take place the week of January 22.
One of our showcase events of the
school year is taking place this week - our Holiday Windows Unveiling is this
Tuesday, December 18. This windows
unveiling is part of our partnership with Barney’s New York and their Creative Ambassador
Simon Doonan. The theme for our holiday
windows this year is "Fashion Icons." Our seniors will be showcasing
the following ‘Fashion Icons’: Dapper Dan; Christian Louboutin; Rihanna; Diana
Ross; Andy Warhol; and Andre Leon Talley.
This list represents the wide spectrum in which fashion impacts our
world--through design, influencers (pop-culture), art, and media (magazines). The unveiling in at 5:30 pm in the school
lobby. All Fashion Families are welcome
to attend! Our Fashion Design students
have the Fashion Show, our Graphics and Illustration students have the Senior
Art Show, our Business students have Virtual Enterprises and Shark Tank, and
this showcase event is a big deal for our Visual Merchandising students.
Over the holiday break, the custodial staff
will be cleaning and disinfecting all hallway lockers. All students MUST clear out their lockers by this
Friday, December 21. Students must take out all their property and take
off the lock on their locker. This week,
students will be receiving information for their new locker. There are a
number of positives about this change including:
(1) We will be trying to get students’ new
lockers close to the location of their first class of the day
(2) The new lockers will stop students who are
currently using the wrong locker
(3) All unassigned lockers will be bottom
lockers – there will be more top lockers in use which is the type of lockers
most students want
Students will move into their new locker on
Wednesday, January 2. Thank you for understanding
the need for this change. All students
MUST clear out their lockers by this Friday, December 21. Students must
take out all their property and the lock on the locker.
Speaking of Fashion
Dollars, please encourage your children to deposit their Fashion Dollar
tokens. We
need Fashion Dollar tokens as we are running out of them. We have decided
to allow Fashion Dollar balances to carry over until next school year IF
students deposit their tokens. Students do not need to worry about their
balances going to ZERO. We want them back, so we can give them back to
students so they spend them on rewards and privileges!!
It is critically important that all
HSFI students check their HSFI email & Jupiter Grades everyday. Every day we send out a daily announcements
message that lists all the activities for the day and key reminders. If students do not read these daily
announcements and do not check their HSFI email and Jupiter Grades, they will
miss out on some valuable opportunities and not know what is going on in the
school.
Thank you!
