Greetings Fashion
Families from your Principal, Daryl Blank.
We only have 3 regular school days left
– this Wednesday, June 6; this Friday, June 8; and next Monday, June 11. Make
sure your children know this and appreciate the importance of finishing the
school year strong. Students must
understand the grades that they receive in June will be the ones that colleges
will see and ultimately determine whether or not they are scheduled for summer
school or not.
Tomorrow, Monday, June 4, we will
have our last installment of our new First Monday program. The redesign of our First Monday involves
students participating in educational activities where students selected from a
menu of activities based on their personal interests. Students
report to school at 8:30 am where they will take attendance in their 3rd
period classes. From there, students
will move onto their First Monday activity that will last until approximately
11:30 am. At this point, students will
be able to get lunch. From 12:30 pm to 1:15 pm, students will have an opportunity to
have individual conferences with their teachers and/or receive tutoring from
them. If a student is facing academic
difficulties, I would encourage them to attend this session to meet with their
teacher and receive additional tutoring, if needed. The school day will officially end at 1:15 pm
when HSFI teachers will then begin their professional development activities. If
a student does not stay for lunch and does not take advantage of the
opportunity to have individual conferences or tutoring from teachers, they can
leave for home at 11:30 am. Again, I
encourage them to stay for lunch and take advantage of this individual time
with their teachers.
On Tuesday, June 5, we will be administering the new Global
History Regents Exam to all 10th graders and a culminating
Merchandising exam – there will be no regular classes on this date and only the
students taking these exams will be in attendance. Students have been given an exam invitation
who are taking these exams and must bring this invitation and their ID card to
the exam.
There is no school for students this Thursday, June 7. It is a staff professional development as we
will be working with our staff to make sure we finish the school year strong
and plan for next year.
Regents exam begin next Tuesday, June 12. Exam invitations have been distributed to all
students. Please check with your
children to make sure you know which exams they are scheduled to take. Make sure your children are studying for
these exams as they need them to graduate high school. The June 2018 Regents examination
schedule has also been sent out. Please contact anyone of our Assistant Principals—Ms. Moore
(English); Mr. Kohm (Math); Mr. Rodrigues (Social Studies); Ms. Frank
(Science); Ms. Boulamaali (Majors) - if you have any specific questions about
these exams.
We are still looking for
nominations for all the positions of our Parent Association Executive Board -
PA President, PA Vice President, PA Treasurer, and School Leadership Team
members. If you are interested in
running for a PA Executive Board position or nominating another HSFI parent,
