The Final Stretch…
Remember that 3rd Marking
Period grades (out in June)
are the final marks that
appear on student transcripts.
If a student did poorly on
his/ her 2nd marking period
report card (distributed on
May 5th), he/ she should see
the teacher immediately to
ask for make up work.
Additional questions or concerns should be referred to
the guidance counselor.
Dear Fashion Families,
Wishing you all a glorious May and all that it brings. This is an exciting season at HSFI
with special events abounding. The Fashion Show will be held on May 14th. Please try
to attend the culminating project of the senior fashion design students--it promises to be
a fabulous show. This past week, students completed the Advanced Placement Examinations this past week. Our students, especially our freshmen and sophomores, are
seriously reviewing for the Regents and RCT examinations. It is my expectation that our
statistics will be quite good. It's important that students review for these examinations. Please encourage your son or daughter to attend the review session that are held
at HSFI after school or on Saturdays.
As I have said to you in the past, I know how challenging and exhilarating it can be to
raise teenagers. Please never get deterred by your teenager's upsetness when he or
she says to you something such as, "Oh mom/dad, you're the only one who is asking to
speak to Mary's parents before you'll let me go to the party". I assure you, mothers
and fathers, guardians and parents-in-kind out there, you are not the only parent who is
asking. Keep strong, give clear and developmentally appropriate expectations, be as
consistent as you can be, and continue to love them unconditionally. When your patience is about to run out, reach out to other parents. And never forget, we are always
here to help.
