The Fashionable Times Blog Principal's Message 10.13.19


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!
