Greetings Fashion Families from your Principal, Daryl Blank.
First of all, Happy
Mother’s Day to all of our HSFI Moms!
We have 5 weeks of classes left
before Regents examinations. 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.
This
is an exciting week as our Fashion Shows are taking place. We have two shows this week. The first one is this Tuesday, May 14 at 7:00
pm and all Fashion families are invited.
There is no admission to this show.
This version of the show is different from the
show will take place this Friday, May 17.
This Tuesday’s show will run a half hour and contain about half the
fashions that will be shown on Friday.
This show is sponsored by our Advisory Board which is the group of
fashion industry professionals that look out for the school.
Our public Fashion Show is this
Friday, May 17 and will show all of the fashions designed by our senior class. There will be two shows on Friday – one at
5:00 pm and one at 7:00 pm. Tickets to
the 5:00 pm show will be $5 and tickets for the 7:00 pm show will be $7. All money raised from ticket sales will be
reinvested in our fashion design program for next year’s show. Tickets are available online at our HSFI
Webstore - https://webstores.activenetwork.com/school-software/high_school_of_fashi/
HSFI looks great now as our entire
lobby is decorated with amazing pieces of art from our senior art show and the
fashion show window displays are up.
As I messaged to you on Friday, a NYC
Department of Education official will be at the school to do a review of the
school on Thursday and Friday. They will
be meeting with a group of Fashion parents. The meeting will be from
12:15 pm to 1:00 pm in Room 821 at the school.
We need some parent volunteers to attend this meeting this Friday to
share their positive experiences with the school. I know so many families that would want to
come to the meeting to show their support, but I know the timing might not be
convenient with work and/or family responsibilities. The reviewer will be asking parents about the
following topics:
(1) How
the school supports your children’s learning
(2) Your
impressions of school culture
(3) The
manner in which expectations are communicated and how you are able to partner
with the school to help your children meet the expectations
(4) How
the school sets goals and communicates with you
We can only have 10 families
represent the school. The reviewers will
want a variety of parents representing different grades, so even though you
volunteer, you might not get selected. I
appreciate you making yourself available.
I will let you know who is selected at the beginning of this week. If you are available and would like to
participate, please send me a message through Jupiter Grades OR send me an
email at dblank@schools.nyc.gov
OR fill out this Google document – here is the link: https://forms.gle/i1sj2AQknxTecZxx9
- Please identify your child’s name and
best contact number and/or email.
All Fashion families
should check out the ‘Student Opportunities’ page on our school website. Applications for Summer Youth Employment 2019
are now available. This page has a long list of opportunities that HSFI
students can apply to including summer programs. You should check it out on a regular basis as
new opportunities are constantly being added to the page. The link on the website is:
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!
