Greetings Fashion Families from your
Principal Daryl Blank.
We
are on a regular bell schedule this coming Monday, November 5. In December and continuing through the rest
of the school year, we will be on a special schedule on the First Monday of
each month, but not this month. Again, we
are on a regular bell schedule this coming Monday, November 5. On Monday, November 5, all Fashion Families
are invited to the school for coffee and snacks in Room 127 from 9:00 am to 10:00 am with Assistant
Principal of Family Engagement Danielle Silva.
Please
remember that there is no school on Tuesday for students. HSFI staff will be at school for professional
development. Do not forget to VOTE on
Tuesday!
I wanted to give Fashion families an
update of our partnership with Harvard University as part of our race and equity
focus. This week (Thursday 11/8 &
Friday 11/9), a HSFI team of staff members including myself will travel to
Harvard University for the kickoff conference of the RIDES Institute where we
will collaborate with the Harvard faculty on a developing a plan for our race
and equity work. HSFI is one of six
schools in the entire United States that was accepted into this Harvard
University partnership. Next week
(Wednesday 11/14, Thursday 11/15 & Friday 11/16), we will be conducting
instructional rounds in the school with Harvard University with a race and
equity lens. Students and staff will be
visiting classes in these rounds to see how race and equity plays out in our
classrooms and then will work together on a plan to combat our challenges in
this area.
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!
