The Fashionable Times Blog Principal's Message 11.11.19


Greetings Fashion Families from your Principal Daryl Blank.

It was great to see some HSFI parents at our Family Visitation Days this past Thursday and Friday!  They were able to observe their children in action in their classes.  If you were not able to attend this past week, we will have another set of Family Visitation Days during the Spring term on March 5th and 6th.  Parent-Teacher Conferences are taking place next week on Thursday, November 21 from 5:30 pm to 8:00 pm and Friday, November 22 from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm.  As always, HSFI is committed to our partnership with our families!

As you are planning your schedule for the week, please keep in mind that this Wednesday, November 13, we will have our monthly Parents Association meeting.  During this meeting we will have our annual Financial Aid night for families.  We will have a presenter from the State University of New York central office.  This informational session about paying for college is for parents of all grades whether you are the parent of a senior going to college next year or a parent of a 9th, 10th or 11th grader.

I also want to share our Math Tutoring Schedule.  We have after school tutoring available in Algebra, Geometry, Algebra 2 Trigonometry and Advanced Placement Calculus.  We know that many students struggle in Math and we want to provide enough support to all students.

In addition, Fashion Families should know that our computer lab is open after school for students to do any work they need to do and print out anything they need to do.  As part of what is available to students, we have our National Honor Society students available to tutor students in any subjects they might need help in.

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.  Attached to this email and 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!
