FUTURE SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL LEARNING PLANS
Thank you for being open to our
Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) efforts at HSFI. Thank you to Ms.
Conaghan, Ms. Padron, Ms. Parisse & Ms. Stambouly for leading HSFI’s SEL
efforts!
As we move into the Spring term,
I wanted to give everyone a summary of where we stand with our efforts and our
hopeful plans moving forward:
□ Next Tuesday, January 31 (First
Day of Spring term) – During OP, HSFI students will be given time to fill out a
Google survey on what emotions they feel at HSFI – this will be the baseline
data for the creation of a ‘HSFI Student Charter of Feelings”
□ February 2017 - ‘HSFI Staff
Charter of Feelings’ formally established with a charter opening event for all
staff where we all are asked to sign the charter signifying that ‘emotions
matter’ at the High School of Fashion Industries (Date TBD)
□ February 2017 -
Social-Emotional Learning techniques including, but not limited to the ‘Mood
Meter,’ used during HSFI staff meetings including focus groups, department
meetings, professional learning communities, committee meetings to get us
familiar with these strategies
□ February 2017 – HSFI students
taught Social-Emotional Learning lessons #3 and #4 in their CTE classes – THANK
YOU CTE DEPARTMENT!
□ March 2017 – HSFI staff begins
to use Social-Emotional Learning strategies in the classroom during lessons
□ March 2017 – We engage with
HSFI students on creating their own ‘Charter of Feelings’ signifying that
‘emotions matter’ at the High School of Fashion Industries
ACTION REQUIRED!
We bought licenses for the MOOD
METER APP for every HSFI staff member and student – please fill out this Google
survey to help us get you the information you need to get the APP for your
personal device:

CALL TO ACTION
● KEEP THE WELCOMING SPIRIT ALIVE
Get those WELCOME POSTERS OUT –
start the Spring term off by welcoming your students into your classrooms
● TRY TO LEARN YOUR STUDENTS’ NAMES
There is nothing better for a
student than to know their teacher knows their name.
● GIVE OUT THOSE FASHION DOLLARS
Use the tokens or
FashionSoarrs.com to let those Fashion Dollars FLY!!! These Fashion Dollars will help students
start on the positive path in your classes.
● MAKE SURE YOU REFER STUDENTS
We cannot help students out, if
we do not know if they are having problems – fill out referrals as necessary
including academic ones which will refer to the National Honor Society homework
help.
● RESPECT YOUR COLLEAGUES & THEIR DISCIPLINES
Do not keep students from other
classes to finish a test or project without checking with that teacher.
Do not plan a trip taking
students out of class, especially last minute, without permission.
Make sure you have a global view
of the school and understand that you and your class / subject in one piece of
a bigger picture.
HELP

We have been directed by the NYC
Department of Education to select a School MOSL (Measures of Student Learning)
Selection Committee as soon as possible. The School Selection window for
MOSL decisions will be from February 1st through February 17th. Here are
the parameters of the MOSL Committee:
(1) There are 8 members on this

members (either teachers or administrators) and the UFT chapter leader will
select the other 4 members

school.

leader may be members of the committee.
See Ms. Perez in Room 329 if you
are interested in joining this committee.
● STAFF NEEDED FOR PER SESSION TO COVER THE COMPUTER LAB
If anyone is interested in working
per session to cover the Computer Lab (Room 201), please fill out the Google form.
You would need to commit to the entire semester and be available for either the
early or late coverage. When
selecting days and session, please keep in mind you MUST stay for the entire
time.
IMPORTANT
INSTRUCTIONAL REMINDERS
● THE WRITING REVOLUTION
9th
and 10th grade ELA, Math, Science and Social Studies teachers: No submission of
work required for now. We will begin again once target student programs are
finalized for the spring. Thank you for your participation!
● HOMEWORK POLICY IN EFFECT FOR SPRING TERM
We are all set with our HW policy to begin the
Spring 2017 term. The current draft was sent to you via email. In addition to your feedback, the policy has
been developed and approved by our Academic & Career and Technical
Education committee, Student Government, the Parents’ Association & the
School Leadership Team. The policy will be emailed to all students and
families – we will make sure students get a copy of the policy before the
Spring term begins. Make sure your HW policies align to the school-wide
policy for the Spring term. We will continually reflect on the policy and
make changes as necessary.
● TECHNOLOGY UPDATES
SMART
BOARD SOFTWARE TO INSTALL AT HOME
You
received an email from Mr. Tallone about installing Smart Board software on
your home devices - on the staff homepage are the instructions to installing
smart note software on your home computer. Please follow the instructions and
let Mr. Tallone know if you have any problems. Do not under any
circumstances download the file at school. It will slow down the
network and cause school wide problems.
GOOGLE APP WITH HOW TO VIDEOS
Below is a link to a new google app. It is used like an
extension in chrome and has tons of videos on how to use many google programs.
Use the link and add it to your hsfi account. (you must be logged into hsfi to
use it.) You can even download it at home. All of HSFI
current Tech guides are on connected to the app.
If you have questions, please speak to your supervisor.
Check out "Training for Google Apps": https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/training-for-google-apps/idkloemkmldbemijiamdiolojbffnjlh?utm_source=gmail
AIR
CONDITIONER CAMPAIGN MOMENTUM
Thank
you to all the HSFI Alumni that have contributed to our Air Conditioning
campaign! Please continue to encourage your
students to take ownership of the Air Conditioner campaign – please explain
that if every students’ family donated $12 to the campaign we would hit our
target to get the matching funds to have air conditioners throughout the
building.

you are not allowed to bring a friend(s) with you onto the elevator

(which will be color-coded), you need to show your pass to any staff member in
the elevator

the first replacement is free – after that you have to pay for a replacement
which will be $10
□ You must return your pass at
the end of the school year or when it expires (if it is a temporary pass)
□ You must submit a medical
letter from your doctor at the beginning of every school year
The consequences of breaking

VTODs
FOR THE WEEK
Our VTODs will now be lexical
arrays of terms that are connected in meaning but often reflect differences in
tone, mood, or levels of intensity. For example: peek, glance, scowl, stare, and glare.
LEXICAL
ARRAY: from TALK: from MUTTER to BELLOW
Tuesday, January 31
Mutter: (v) 1. talk indistinctly; to
speak quietly. When a woman came out to take the soup we offered, she muttered,
“Thanks.” 2. To complain under one’s breath: “He’s such an unpleasant man,”
Emily muttered.
Wednesday, February 1
Utter: (v) to express in words. “My recommendation to him is that he learn to
say ten good things before he utters a criticism.” Please don’t utter a word
about that to anyone!
Thursday, February 2
Articulate: (v) to state clearly and effectively. The community representative articulated his
neighbors’ concerns about the flood’s effects. (adj.) fluent, effective, clear:
Actively listening to classmates can help students become more articulate in
expressing their own ideas.
Friday, February 3
Voice: (v) to express; verbalize
(especially voicing your opinions or feelings). The senator voiced concern
about how immigrants were treated in some states. With outside shareholders
voicing displeasure, that premium looks to be in danger.
DATA
TEAM REPORT
The PBIS Data team (Mr.
Raschilla, Ms. Weiss, Mr. Rau, and Mr. Blank) meets weekly to analyze the
disciplinary trends impacting the High School of Fashion Industries
community. We will make you aware of what

responses to eliminate this negative behavior and promote positive behavior.
