PBIS CALL TO ACTION
□ Consider
allowing students to make-up assignments during the winter break – this time
would be an excellent opportunity for students to get back on track
□ Please bring in food for the
Fashion Cares Food Drive – students are in the lobby collecting every morning.
□ I know we have mentioned it for
the last couple of weeks, but please as the holiday
season gets closer and closer, this can be a difficult time for our students.
Please be sensitive towards their needs and notify guidance counselors, deans
and other support staff of any concerns you may have.
□ Important Fashion Dollar
announcements to STOP TOKEN HOARDING
(1) USE FD OR LOSE THEM - Fashion Dollars will not carry over
from year to year and MUST be
spent during this school year
(2) We will soon be installing
Interest Rates on Fashion Dollar accounts in the hopes of getting students to
deposit them
OPERATIONAL
NEED TO KNOW
□ Correct Protocol for Hanging
Up Flyers
The proper protocol is to place
them in Ms. Vasconcellos’s mailbox, our Coordinator of Student Activities, and
they will then be properly displayed throughout the building.
Do not hang up any flyers around
the building on your own no matter how valuable they might be to our students
and the HSFI community.
□ Attendance Bubbling
If you received a yellow notice, then you
are missing sheets for November. If you need them to be reprinted, please
come to the attendance office located in Room 201.
COOL
THINGS THIS WEEK
□ HOLIDAY WINDOWS UNVEILING
EVENT
All HSFI staff is invited to the
unveiling of our Holiday Window Displays this coming Thursday, December 17 from
5:00 pm to 6:30 pm. The amazing work of
our visual merchandising students under the guidance of Ms. Selleck will be on
display for all of New York City to enjoy.
□ SING
The next step in HSFI’s SING
journey is the selection of student leaders to run the show and all the
different parts of it. We need your help in making sure we select the
most qualified and trustworthy candidates. Students will be required to
submit 2 staff recommendations in order to be considered for a position.
Do not worry as the recommendation is a check box form with a space for
additional comments that is totally optional.
Student interviews will be conducted next Monday and Tuesday.
Just a couple of important points
regarding these recommendations:
*Students will give you the
recommendation form, but DO NOT give it back to them – your recommendation is
confidential and the form should be put in Ms. Gerasimovich-Vega’s mailbox or
brought to the Principal’s office in Room 819.
*These recommendations are
crucial to SING’s success – the production is student run with adult guidance,
so the student leaders we choose will make or break the program’s success.
*In addition to your
recommendation, students as part of the application (ATTACHED) will be required
to answer two questions in writing:
(1) What past experiences make
you qualified to be in a Leadership Position of HSFI SING?
(2) What personal attributes
would make you a great HSFI SING leader?
Thank you in advance for your
help.

SAVE THE DATE
The HSFI SING performance dates
