CALL
TO ACTION
● SAVE THE DATE – INDUSTRY FASHION SHOW DATE SET
Tuesday, May 14 is the
date of our Industry Fashion Show – it would be great to have a huge contingent
of staff in attendance.
● SECOND HALF CLASSES BEGIN THIS MONDAY
Starting this Monday,
April 1, students will be starting their 2nd half of the Spring term
programs which means a change of day for any class that meets less than five
days a week. Classes that met Monday,
Wednesday and Friday now meet only on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Classes that met Tuesdays and Thursdays, now
meet Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
The classes that this change applies to include Physical Education /
Gym, Peer Group Connection, Senior College Prep APPS classes and SAGA Math
tutoring,
● DO YOUR PART IN KEEPING THE HALLWAYS CLEAR
HSFI Assistant Principals and Peace
Teachers (formerly known as Deans) are conducting Hallway Sweeps that will
cover every square foot of this building to maintain school climate. The
sweeps will take place Periods 2 through 9. These sweeps are in addition
to the patrols that our security agents execute daily. Here is what you
can do to do your part in maintaining school climate:
□ Please go out into the hallway to welcome students into your
classroom in between classes
□ Once the music ends, close your door – do not lock the door -
and begin class promptly. For classes early in the day, please have tasks
/ assignments in place immediately when the music ends to promote students
being on time as part of the Readiness portion of their grades
□ Have a protocol for monitoring student
lateness (ex- Late Book)
□ A Pass is needed to go anywhere outside
of your classroom / specific Falcon Health Center pass
□ No passes first 10 minutes of class
(unless emergency)
□ No passes last 10 minutes of class
(unless emergency)
YOU CANNOT ALLOW A
STUDENT TO STAY IN YOUR CLASSROOM / OFFICE WHEN YOU ARE NOT THERE – ASK THEM TO
LEAVE & COME BACK
Please make sure these actions are
followed to do your part in maintaining school climate while our Assistant
Principals and Peace Teachers sweep the halls and do their part.
● SECOND MARKING PERIOD IN FULL SWING
We
are in full swing of the second marking period.
Speak to your students about the importance of the starting the marking
period strong. Make sure your students
know where they stand in their classes and what needs to be done to continue
their success or turn things around.
Students must know that the grades they receive in June will be seen by colleges
and determine whether or not they go to summer school.
NYC DOE STAFF SURVEY UPDATE: 79% COMPLETION
I wanted to give you an update of
responses to the NYC DOE Staff Survey – as of today 84 staff members have done their
survey. This is an increase of 3 staff
members doing the survey from last week (3 percentage points).
It would send a powerful statement if we
achieved 100% participation.
Please do the survey as it is
important that every voice is heard. Please take a few minutes to
complete the anonymous survey online.
I look carefully at the overall
results to shape the direction of things like professional development and
staff communication.
Prospective HSFI parents and
families and students look to the results to decide whether they should apply
to our school or not.
We have worked tremendously hard
together to create a wonderful learning environment for our students and this
is your chance to let them know. Thank you!
The link to the survey is below,
but you must have the unique access code from the postcard to proceed:
HSFI RECOGNIZED FOR OUR SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING &
RACE/EQUITY EFFORTS
In exciting news, I
wanted to share with the HSFI community that our school is being showcased by
the NYC Department of Education for our efforts with Social Emotional Learning
and our partnership with Yale University as well as our collaboration with
Harvard University in trying to have discussions around race and equity.
HSFI students, teachers and me will be presenting at two different
conferences this coming Thursday that highlight our efforts. We have
certainly not solved these issues, but we are headed in the right direction by
trying to address them. Thank you to all
of you for the support of these efforts and feedback to improve the quality of
our work.

HSFI
DRESS CODE
I wanted to remind the entire HSFI
community about our school Dress Code that the Feminist Club worked so hard on
last year and was put into effect. Please read over carefully and
follow. It is critical that we stay true to this code to insure the HSFI
value system is in tact.
VALUES:
□ All students should be able to dress comfortably for school
without fear of or actual unnecessary discipline or body shaming.
□ All students and staff should understand that they are
responsible for managing their own personal “distractions” without regulating
individual students’ clothing/self-expression.
□ The school community should be a place where students are
encouraged to manage their responses to one another; while, home is where
students develop values around personal appearance (this includes discussions
about safety concerns and traveling to and from school).
GOALS:
□ Maintain a safe
learning environment in classes where protective or supportive clothing is
needed. (i.e. science lab requirements, physical education clothing, etc.) and
that student attire does not contribute to a hostile or intimidating atmosphere
for any student.
□ Allow students to
wear religious attire without fear of discipline or discrimination.
□ Ensure that all
students are treated equitably regardless of gender/gender identification,
sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, body type/size, religion, or personal
style.
DRESS CODE:
□ Clothing with
offensive images or language that depicts violence or illegal activity (use of alcohol or
drugs, pornography, or hate speech) are prohibited.
□ All students must
wear a shirt, bottoms (pants/sweatpants/shorts/skirt/dress/leggings) and
shoes.
□ Clothes must be worn
in such a way that genitals, buttocks, and nipples are covered with opaque
material. Visible waistbands or straps on undergarments worn under other
clothing are not a violation.
□ Courses that include
attire as part of the curriculum may include assignment specific dress, but
should not focus on covering body parts or promoting culturally specific attire
(i.e. class trips to the theatre or professional environments such as offices
and fashion houses would enforce a dress code that is specific to the
establishment, as we are guests in their community and should respect that).
ENFORCEMENT:
□ No student should be
disproportionately affected by dress code enforcement because of gender, race,
body size, or maturity.
□ Students shouldn’t be
shamed or required to show their body in front of others (students, staff, or
parents), such as in physical education uniforms if it goes against the
student’s religious beliefs.
□ Dress code
enforcement should not infringe upon instructional time.
□ The enforcement of
this policy should happen through community discussions about valuing different
perspectives rather than punitive measures.
STUDENT
PARTICIPATION IN SPORTS GAMES / MATCHES
It is that time of year again with
Spring sports starting up. You can
expect our student-athletes to bring you letters letting stating that they have
to be excused from classes later in the day to travel to away
games/matches. You cannot deny students
the opportunity to participate in these games and matches. It is the NYC DOE Public Schools Athletic
League that schedules these games that sometimes requires our students to
travel long distances. Students
understand they are required to make up any missed work and please keep them
aware of their standing in your classes.
Our Spring teams are:
□ Co-Ed Stunts
□ Boys Volleyball
□ Girls Outdoor Track
□ Girls Softball
□ Girls Wrestling
□ Girls Badminton
UPDATED
PARENT CONTACT LIST
Here is the most updated spreadsheet for students’ contact information. The spreadsheet has three different tabs of contact
information;
1) Primary phone
2) Email
3) Cell phone number
This list will be updated each week through our School Messenger
system. If you have trouble contacting a parent or have additional contact information,
please reach out to Assistant Principal Danielle Silva at DSilva@hsfi.us
Here is the link to the spreadsheet:
STUDENT ACTIVITIES
□ KEEPING TRACK OF STUDENT ACTIVITY / COMMUNICATING WITH
STUDENTS ABOUT SCHOOL ACTIVITIES
In our effort to understand how ALL our students are doing, we
need to know how much students are participating in activities around the
building – this includes:
TUTORING / CLUBS & ACTIVITIES / PSAL SPORTS – PRACTICES &
GAMES / ESL ACADEMY / MAKE-UP LABS / NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY PEER TUTORING /
USING THE COMPUTER LABS
Use this link to keep track of student attendance in these
activities - https://sites.google.com/a/hsfi.us/hsfi-staff-portal/attendance-for-student-activities
Doing this is mandatory if you oversee these
activities and needs to be done every time you meet with students. You
must be signed in to your own hsfi.us account when you do this. Contact
Shannon Kohm with questions at skohm@school.nyc.gov, or ext. 5311
Communication
Please make sure that you communicate with
our students about anything going on in the school – a club meeting, sports
game or program opportunity – you can do this by including it in our Daily
Announcements email / Jupiter message – here is the procedure for submitting
this information:
(1) Go to the HSFI Staff Home page - https://sites.google.com/a/hsfi.us/hsfi-staff-portal/home?pli=1
(2) From there use the Announcement
form link on the left hand side of the page - all announcements should be
requested by 3:00 pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
IMPORTANT
INSTRUCTIONAL REMINDERS
● OUR INSTRUCTIONAL FOCUS FOR 2018-19 & BEYOND
□ Every student feels
cared for
□ Every student feels
challenged
● HSFI STUDENT DASHBOARD UPDATES FROM MR. STAMPONE
Some
more updates have been rolled out the HSFI Student Dashboard
including a tweaked design change and some additional features
Remember
that the dashboard is only accessible on the school network. It is hosted
internally for data security reasons.
□ Find
your particular students by visiting http://hsfiintranet/studentdash/teachers/
and finding your name. Note: Co-teacher pairs appear separately.
□ When
you click into your page (for example, http://hsfiintranet/studentdash/teachers/stamponed.html),
you'll find a table at the top that subdivides the list by course/section
□ Catch
a preview of a tool being developed for students to check in with their
progress to graduation. Here's an example for a current junior: http://hsfiintranet/studentdash/grad_tracker/221228661.html
□ Student
daily attendance by period: On an individual student's page you can get a
summary of their attendance numbers by course/section. There's a beta version
column trying to measure how often that student is in school but did not attend
your period. Note: It is not yet accurate for classes that meet every other day
or for classes with a start date later than the first day of school. Will be
updated with new data for the second semester soon
● EVALUATIVE OBSERVATIONS
□ 4TH Round
of Evaluative Observations – April 15 – May 10 (this is a change from the
original calendar)
● SPRING MARKING PERIODS
□ 2nd
Marking Period ends Thursday, April 18
□ 3rd
Marking Period ends Monday, June 17
● ANNUALIZATION GRADING POLICY CHANGES BY THE NYC DOE
The NYC Department of Education policy
towards annualization has changed from last year.
□ Last
year, if a student failed semester 1 of an annualized class, but passed
semester 2, the student was given a grade of P for the 1st semester class on
their transcript.
□ This
year, that policy is no longer in place. This came from NYCDOE academic
policy last spring. So we're annualized in terms of curriculum and
students, but not on an annualized grading model.
This means that students will have to make up the failed class
through SOARR Academy or through Summer School.
● IMPORTANT SPECIAL EDUCATION REMINDERS FOR THE SPRING TERM
Teacher
Form responses or information you shared during the meeting- this is a great
example of how your insight helps us to create an authentic, student specific
IEP. In addition to asking a special educator, you can easily determine which
students in your class have IEP's by reviewing your class roster. Students who
are placed in ICT classes have the letter at the end of their official (ex-45P)
and our Self-contained students will continue to have the letter at the
beginning of their official class. Students within our D75 Inclusion Program
will have an L as the first letter of their official class.
We in the Office of SWD wanted to provide some additional insight to our Teacher Form. This form helps us to address students’ academic needs, assess their progress in/with the general education curriculum and justify services through the IEP. Your voice and input is incredibly valuable in creating this legal document, which is unique to each child. Attending meetings is also important, as it is a requirement to have a general education teacher at an IEP present. Please understand we try to work around teacher schedules, when scheduling however, there are times when this does not align to a parent/family members schedule.

● PARENT ENGAGEMENT RESPONSIBILITIES
Keep in mind the main ways that we maintain high levels of Parent
Engagement:
#1 - Keeping Jupiter up-to-date so that students and parents know
where students stand in your class
#2 – You are contractually required to set aside 1 specific period
set aside for Parent Engagement where you make calls and emails to families of
at-risk students. If a student is
failing, you need to make verbal contact with that family
#3 - Check your DOE Email everyday - Not HSFI email – you should forward
your HSFI emails to your DOE email. If a
parent emails you, they should expect a response in a timely manner
● IMPORTANT HOMEWORK REMINDERS
#1 – Please follow our policy of ‘No New HW Wednesdays’
#2 – Do not give a HW assignment unless you will be giving
meaningful feedback back to students – a check or score at the top of a paper
does not mean much to students. This is
especially true for honors and Advanced Placement courses where the amount and
difficulty of readings and assignments is high
● GUIDELINES TO MAINTAIN SCHOOL CLIMATE
□
Pass needed to go anywhere outside of your classroom / specific Falcon
Health Center pass
□
No passes first 10 minutes of class (unless emergency)
□
No passes last 10 minutes of class (unless emergency)
□
Electronic Equipment for educational purposes allowed / all other
purposes should be a referral / Leave confiscating to supervisors and deans /
NO CHARGING PHONES
WHERE CAN
STUDENTS GO WHEN NOT IN CLASS?
□
Before 1st Period – Cafeteria, Student Computer Lab (Room
201), Hallways
□
Once Period 1 begins – students cannot be in the hallways – can go to the
Cafeteria, Student Computer Lab, Classroom under teacher supervision
□
Lunch Periods (4-7) – Cafeteria, Student Lounge, Library (except 7th
period), Student Computer Lab, Classroom under teacher supervision
□
Students waiting for afterschool activities - Student Computer Lab,
Library, Classroom under teacher supervision
YOU CANNOT ALLOW A STUDENT TO STAY IN YOUR CLASSROOM / OFFICE WHEN YOU
ARE NOT THERE – ASK THEM TO LEAVE & COME BACK
OPERATIONAL
NEED TO KNOW
● CHECK YOUR DOE & HSFI EMAILS EVERYDAY
● HSFI STAFF HOMEPAGE LINK - https://sites.google.com/a/hsfi.us/hsfi-staff-portal/

● CANNOT LEAVE STUDENTS UNATTENDED
You cannot leave students unattended anywhere in the
building – a classroom or office, the Auditorium or Cafeteria – if you have to
leave a particular area, ask the students to leave with you.
● PROTOCOLS FOR RESPONDING TO CLASSROOM
INCIDENTS
In the event of an incident in your classroom that creates
disruption (student is defiant and / or uncooperative) but is NOT A THREAT
to student and/or staff safety, the following protocol should be followed:
□ Classroom management,
i.e., using your skills as an educator to move on from the situation, followed
by
□ A phone call to your
Supervisor informing them of the incident and the steps you have taken to
address the matter, followed by
□ A referral to the
Peace Center and/or the Guidance Department via Google Docs., followed by
□ Outreach to parents,
informing them of their child’s misbehavior, and request for family support to
correct the matter.
In the event of an incident in your classroom that involves an immediate
THREAT to student and/or staff safety, the following protocol should be
followed:
□ A phone call to the Peace Center (x1491 or x1431) informing
available staff of the incident and requesting assistance, followed by
□ A phone call to School Safety (x1341) informing them of the
location and nature of the incident and requesting assistance, followed by
□ A call to your Supervisor informing them of the incident and the
steps you have taken to address it.
CLASS TRIP REMINDERS
As we start the school year, I
wanted to share with staff the field trip guidelines that we put into place
last year. All of us should plan to adhere to these guidelines – for
staff planning the trips and staff receiving the trip requests. The only
exception that we ask of everyone is to be flexible with last minute trips that
are brought to us by our Advisory Board and industry partners – too often they
share with us the details in a last minute fashion. Thank you in advance
for the cooperation!
⏮ Trips must be approved 3 weeks in advance - No trips in January
& June
⏮ A Master Calendar of trips will be posted in the Weekly Bulletin
with a description of the trip and grade level
⏮ Teachers cannot veto student participation on trips, but
students must understand they are responsible for all makeup work / Do not
penalize students for missing class due to a school trip

Juggernaut: (n) a huge,
powerful, and overwhelming force or institution. As fast as Walmart’s

Amazon. The juggernaut of global consumerism raises concerns about
sustainability, which refers to meeting humanity's needs without harming future
generations.
April 3, Wednesday
Permaculture:
(n) the development of agricultural ecosystems intended to be sustainable and
self-sufficient. Because the sandy soil of her land is particularly suitable
for growing roots and tubers, Sirijai turned to permaculture farming methods.
April 4, Thursday
Circa: (prep.) at, in, or

Conglomerate:
(n) a group of diverse companies under common ownership and run as a single
organization. Every restaurant closure — save maybe those made by heartless
Scrooges at huge restaurant conglomerates — involves a difficult decision. Mr.
