Greetings Fashion Families from your Principal, Daryl Blank.
There is no school for students
tomorrow, Monday, January 29. The Spring
term for students begins on Tuesday, January 30. Students are to report to school at 8:45 am
and go to their OP (Organizational Period) classroom. Students will receive their Fall term report
card, their Student transcript, their Spring schedule and Spring term
Metrocard. There will be regular classes
on Tuesday beginning Period 3 immediately after their OP. Students will finish school at the regular
time. Students who finish the school day
after 8th period are done at 2:47 pm. Students who finish the school day after 9th
period are done at 3:37 pm.
I need your immediate help regarding the
redesign of our First Monday of the month schedule that I contacted you about
last week. Only about half the students
in the school have signed up for a First Monday activity – I need you to immediately
direct your child to fill out the First Monday survey that I have sent to them
multiple times where they can choose their activities for these First
Mondays. This needs to be done
immediately as spots are being given on a first come, first serve basis. As you know, on the First Monday of each
month (except for September) we have a special schedule where students leave
school earlier than normal in order for our teaching staff to participate in
professional development. I am looking
to redesign how students spend our First Mondays beginning on February 5. The redesign involves students participating
in educational activities where students would select from a menu of activities
based on their personal interests. Some
of the areas that these activities cover are Arts & Culture; Creative
Expression; Designing Your Future; Film; Fun & Games; Mind and Body; and
Social Responsibility.
A list of the proposed activities is right
below in this email. Click

The list is also posted on the school
website. Please feel free to contact me
about your thoughts about this proposal and thank you as always for your
support.
We
are always looking for Parent Volunteers to help us. The HSFI Parents Association has decided to
do monthly bake sales to raise money for the
organization and they need help for these fundraisers. The bake sales will go from 10:30 am – 1:00
pm on the following dates: Tuesday, February 13; Friday, March 23; Friday,
April 27; and Friday, May 25. If
you are able to volunteer, please contact Assistant Principal Danielle Silva at
212-255-1235 ext. 1251 or email Ms. Silva at dsilva@hsfi.us
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!
