● Fashion Dollar Friday Token Collection Plan
Thanks to Ms. Weiss & Ms.
Padron we will be collecting Fashion Dollar tokens as students walk in on
Fashion Dollar Fridays – students depositing tokens will be automatically entered
into a raffle to earn FLY gear – the expectation is that all staff – teachers,
counselors, supervisors, aides, paraprofessionals, secretaries – give out
Fashion Dollars to deserving students.
Fashion Dollars can be found in Room 819.
OPERATIONAL
NEED TO KNOW
● Regents Room Readiness
It is critical that you have your
classroom ‘Regents Ready’ by the end of the school day on Monday, January 25 - Before a test can be given in any room, teachers must
prepare the rooms to the following specifications - Please assist all proctors
by preparing your classrooms:
● Desks must be
arranged in straight rows.
● Teachers must clear
desks and shelves under the desks of all books, papers, and other materials.
● Teachers must
completely cover or remove all charts or remove maps pertinent any subject
matter being tested. Teachers must remove all board work.
● Club Activities Cancelled for Thursday, January 21
All
after school club activities are cancelled on this date due to a DOE Event –
the following academic related activities are still ON: SOARR Academy / Regents
tutoring / NHS Tutoring / ESL Academy / Make-up Labs / After School Computer Labs
/ Princeton Review SAT Class / Library & Any Scheduled PSAL game (no
practice)
● Common Core Student Folders
A reminder that teachers should give their students their CCSS
folders by this Friday, January 22, to be retained in the students' lockers and
submitted to their new teachers on Feb. 2.
If a teacher has undistributed folders at the end of the day on Monday, 1/25,
the folders should be returned to your Assistant Principals so that they can
get them to the right teacher at the start of the spring term.
● Bathrooms Closed Afterschool for Security Purposes
In the interest of safety and security,
restrooms on floors 5, 6 and 9 are now locked at 4:00 p.m. Third floor
restrooms in the locker rooms are open and restrooms on the fourth floor are
open for student use. A sign has been placed on those locked doors.
The decision was made because students are lingering in bathrooms after hours
without supervision for extended periods of time.

VTODs
FOR THE WEEK
REVIEW
Tuesday January 19
gambit (n) Opening move; a maneuver or
strategem. His gambit early in the chess
game, risking two pawns, gave him a distinct advantage. Promoting itself during
the Grammy Awards telecast was a multimillion-dollar gambit for the Las Vegas
rock band Imagine Dragons, but, as billboard charts indicated, it worked!
integral (adj.) 1 essential. Rituals and
festivals form an integral part of every human society. The playwright cut the
scene because it wasn’t integral to the plot. (n) 2. (math) An integral is the
area underneath a curve from a to b. An integral calculator is used to find the
area of a curve.
Wednesday January 20
derivation (n) 1. sequence of statements
(as in logic or mathematics) showing that a result is a necessary consequence
of previously accepted statements.

which something (esp. a word) developed: Does anyone know the derivation of the
word “OK”? Joyful is a derivation of the
French word joyeux.
prefatory (adj.) serving as an

properties of an adhesive. A viscous liquid is thick and sticky and does not
flow easily. In Alberta Canada, fierce

quality of peanut butter.

life work. The Museum of Modern Art presented,” a retrospective of the
multifaceted work of composer, musician, and singer Bjork ." 2. (adj.)
