Greetings Fashion Families from your Principal, Daryl Blank. The first marking period ends this Friday,
March 1. Make sure you and your child
are checking Jupiter Grades to know where they stand in their classes. Report cards will be distributed to students
next Wednesday.
As you are planning your schedule for
the week I hope you can attend our February Parents Association meeting this
Wednesday, February 28 at 6:00 pm in Room 829.
Next week on Thursday, March
9 and Friday, March 10, we are very excited to welcome you to Fashion for Parent
Teacher Conferences. Thursday’s
conferences will be from 5:30 pm to 8:00 pm.
Friday’s conferences will be from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm.
The
morning of afternoon Parent-Teacher conferences on Friday, we will be holding
our annual Career Day for the students of the High School of Fashion
Industries. During this morning session,
we have over 60 guest speakers who will visit our school to share their
experiences with our students. The
speakers will cover career opportunities among all 4 of our majors – Fashion
Design, Graphics & Illustration, Fashion Marketing and Visual
Merchandising. Please make sure that
your child attends Career Day – it is very important in their preparation for
college and career. Career Day is
brought to school by the Advisory Board of the High School of Fashion
Industries
In two weeks, HSFI is thrilled to continue again this year our
Family Visitation Days on Thursday, March 15 and Friday, March 16. 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.
I write this message with tons of
emotion after the school shooting in Broward County, Florida. This issue hits close to home with the
incident at the school earlier this school year. It is our job to ensure that every school is
a safe place for our children and families.
We are always committed to make sure our building is a safe and
supportive space – both physically and emotionally — for every child who walks
through the door. It is important that our school community takes our safety drills
seriously including our evacuation and lockdown drills. It is important that we continue our efforts
to teach Social Emotional Learning to our students and staff. I look forward to us to continue to work
together on making sure the High School of Fashion Industries is a safe and
secure place for our students, families and staff. As always, please feel free to contact me by any
means either by phone, email or drop by the school to speak with me about this
issue or anything else. On the school website is a letter from NYC Schools Chancellor Carmen Farina
about the shootings.
Thank you!
