Greetings Fashion Families from your
Principal Daryl Blank.
Just a reminder that we do not have
school tomorrow, this Monday, October 14 due to the observance of Columbus Day.
This Tuesday, October 15, will mark
the beginning of the second marking period.
Students will receive report cards this coming Friday. Please speak with your child about starting
the second marking period the right way.
You and your child need to understand that student grades are
cumulative, meaning that all grades count during a given term. Grades do not start over with the second
marking period and there are not separate grades for each marking period. Second marking period grades are a
combination of the first and second marking periods. Third marking period grades and the grades
that go on a student’s transcript and seen by colleges are a combination of the
first, second and third marking periods.
Please keep in mind that next
Wednesday, October 23, we will have our monthly Parents Association
meeting. As part of this meeting, we
will be hosting a Safety Town Hall where we will be giving a presentation on
how the school handles safety and security.
This Safety Town Hall will feature a presentation from Assistant
Principal Giovanni Raschilla who supervises our safety and security efforts at
the High School of Fashion Industries.
I wanted to let all
Fashion Families know that our school has a vibrant Alumni Association that is
dedicated to supporting our current students.
The HSFI Alumni Association, which is 501c3 charity organization, is
fundraising to support their ability to give out annual HSFI Alumni College Scholarships. They have expanded their fundraising efforts
to include ‘Amazon Smile’ that gives back 0.5% of a purchase back to a charity
organization of your choice. On the school website is a step-by-step process of shopping with
Amazon smile to support the HSFI Alumni College
Scholarships. Please consider using this
to support this wonderful organization.
The
Alumni Association also has a GoFund me page if you would like to contribute in
this way - https://www.gofundme.com/f/hsfi-alumni-college-scholarship
It is critically important that all
HSFI students check their HSFI email & Jupiter Grades everyday. Jupiter Grades is our online grading
system. We will be sending important
information out through both 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!
