Greetings Fashion Families from your
Principal Daryl Blank.
Parent-Teacher Conferences are taking place this 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!
Here is a list of suggested questions
that you might want to ask your child’s teachers:
#1 - What is my child expected
to learn, know and do at this grade level? How will it be assessed?
#2 - What are the big
projects my child will be doing in your class this year? Throughout the year,
how will I know if my child is meeting grade level expectations?
#3 - What does my child
do well and what does he or she struggle with? Can you give me examples?
#4 - If my child needs
extra support or wants to learn more about a subject, are there resources to
help his or her learning outside the classroom? Can you give me examples?
#5 - Does my child turn
in homework on time?
#6 - Is my child happy at
school? How does my child get along with classmates and adults?
#7 - Does my child
participate in class discussions and activities? What would make my child more
effective in doing his/her work?
#8 - What can I do at
home to reinforce what my child is learning at school?
#9 - Are there ways that
I can help you in the classroom or the school?
I wanted to share an article with you
about teenagers applying to college and what words that they need to hear from
you. Here is the link
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. 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!
