CALL
TO ACTION
Every week, I will share with you a
‘Call To Action’ around our school goals that will help drive our work for that
week.
HSFI ‘CARED FOR’
GOAL – RELATIONSHIPS & REALNESS
● COMMUNICATE WITH YOUR STUDENTS ABOUT THE END OF THE TERM TIMELINE
Communicate with your
students about the timeline for the end of the school year and what is expected
of them. This goes for students who want
to get a 95 as well as those students looking to reconcile a NX and get a D.
□ May 28th - Last day for assigning
new graded work
□ June 1 to June 9 - Makeup week
□ June 4 - Deadline for tentative
grades
□ June 10 to June 18 - NX Academy
(details to follow)
□ June 18 - Final Grades are Due
□ June 21 to June 25 - Pre-Summer
School
□ June 25 - Remaining Grade Changes
from NX to Pass due
● UTILIZE REFERRALS / TEACHER NOTES / HIGH PRIORITY TEACHER NOTES
We all deal with at-risk students,
therefore all teachers and counselors should be utilizing referrals, teacher
notes and high priority teacher notes to effectively communicate about these
students that will benefit from all HSFI staff knowing what is going on with
them.
A Referral is defined as the process to get students additional
assistance to resolve an issue.
A Teacher Note is defined as a general update
regarding teacher outreach conducted and student progress made.
A High Priority Teacher Note is defined as information that
impacts a student's well-being or health that is urgent and important.
HSFI ‘CHALLENGED’
GOAL – RIGOR & RELEVANCE
● CREATE SAFE SPACES FOR YOUR STUDENTS USING BEST PRACTICES FROM ‘NOT
LIGHT, BUT FIRE’
Use the best practices highlighted
in the ‘Not Light, But Fire’ book to get to know your students and build
community in your classroom. These safe
spaces will be crucial to you being able to challenge students with rigorous
content and activities.
NEW ITEMS
HONORING THE LEGACY OF MS.
LAKISHA YOUNGBLOOD
We
will be honoring the legacy of Ms. Lakisha Youngblood with the continuation of
the print and textile design competition launched last year. This scholarship was designed to honor her passions-
print & textile design. Students were asked to create original print(s) and
design a collection featuring the concept(s).
We
would like to invite all HSFI staff to partake in the voting process.
This
link will direct you to a folder housing all of the student submissions, each
labeled with their respective collection name:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1nPqLcV2tEOLHtiLMS2zikfhBLAIk3OPZ?usp=sharing
Please
cast your vote at the link below no later than Monday, May 24th at 5PM:
https://forms.gle/inyTw1BtKFA1want8
Two
winners (1-selected by Ms. Youngblood's
family + 1-selected by HSFI staff/ industry professionals) will be afforded a
scholarship endowment!
THANK YOU TO MS. RICCI & ALL THE STAFF INVOLVED IN
KEEPING MS. YOUNGBLOOD’S MEMORY ALIVE AT HSFI!
SUMMER SCHOOL 2021 INTEREST?
I know many of you have ideas about
Summer School and I look forward to hearing them once we get more guidance on
what we can and cannot do this summer. In the meantime, please take a moment to indicate
your initial interest and availability to work summer school.
The general framework
to Summer School will include:
□ Run from
7/6-8/13 Mondays through Thursdays with Hours TBD.
□ We will need
to offer students a combination of remote and in-person classes (In person
classes will take place at Park West HS). The majority of classes will be
centered around NX support, however there may also be some full length (45
hour) summer school classes as well.
Again, once we
get more guidance on summer, we will connect to work around this framework.

Thank you!
IMPORTANT END OF TERM DETAILS
As we approach the end of the
Spring 2021 semester, here are some important end of term details:
The last day to assign new work
will be Friday May 28th. There are two weeks (4 sessions) of new material and
new assignments. When we return to school after Memorial Day weekend, there
will be a make-up period when no new graded assignments can be given, but
previous assignments can be due. Students will work to improve their grades by
submitting or resubmitting assignments. Enrichment opportunities as classwork
will be provided. The make- up period runs from June 1st through June 9th.
During this makeup period, students
will go to their Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday class one more time and
participate in Wednesday activities and classes two more times.
For teachers, tentative grades will
be due Friday June 4th so students with remaining NXs for Spring 2021 classes
can be scheduled for the NX academy which runs from June 10 through June 18.
More details to follow on the organization of NX academy.
Between June 21 and 25th will be a
pre-summer school NX boot camp as a last effort.

TAKING STUDENT ATTENDANCE REFRESHER FOR SPRING 2021
In a shift from remote
learning in Spring 2020, the DOE has directed schools to collect period
attendance through an in-house system and to submit through STARS classroom
student attendance (not interactions) via spreadsheet.
These student interactions
fall into four categories
□ O - A remote student present
online, or an in-person student present in a class remotely.
□ M - A remote student absent
online, or an in-person student absent from a class remotely.
□ P - An in-person student
physically present in an in-person class at HSFI
□ A - An in-person student
absent from an in-person class at HSFI
Due to DOE reporting
limitations, only these four marks are available in Jupiter Grades. Utilize the
comment feature to indicate if a student arrived late or left early from a
scheduled online class.
Taking accurate and
timely attendance is a professional obligation of all faculty with the final
responsibility falling on the teacher of record.
Attendance can be
collected as directed by the teacher at the beginning, middle, and end of the
period. It can be taken on paper or through other electronic means such as a
video conference participation log.
However the attendance
is collected, all teachers must enter their attendance for their classes that
school day by 3:45pm into Jupiter Grades. At 3:45pm the programming office
downloads all of the attendance marks for that day and uses the Data Dashboard
to analyze the data. A file needs to be uploaded by 4pm into STARS classroom to
meet the school’s obligation to report daily attendance data to the DOE.
TEACHING EXPECTATION FOR FULL CLASS PERIOD
All teachers should be
with their students for the full class period, whether 90 minutes or 45 minutes
and whether in person or remote. You should not be letting students out
of class early in person or remotely. Class time is a legal requirement
and should be treated as such. We are getting reports of students being
let out of class early.

LAUNCH OF ‘LET’S TALK NYC’
In
partnership with the DOE, the School of Mental Health Program, the Jed
Foundation, and Ogilvy Health, the Mayor’s Office of Community Mental Health
has launched “Let’s Talk NYC,” a self-guided online training that prepares all
high school staff, regardless of their role, to become mental-health allies.
After completing the “Let’s Talk NYC” training, staff will receive digital and
physical badges that will help identify them as adults who will listen to
students and support their mental health. In the fall, all schools will
receive posters to hang in their school building to help reinforce “Let’s Talk
NYC” messages, by addressing the stigma of mental health issues, encouraging students
to share how they are feeling with school staff, and promoting help-seeking
behavior.

THOUGHTS FOR THE 2021-22 SCHOOL YEAR
As we wind down the
2020-21 school year, I wanted to get our school community's thoughts for the
upcoming school year based on reflections from this challenging year. We
want strong voices from all members of the HSFI community including students,
families and staff. Based on the responses, we hope to form planning
teams over the next two months to be ready for the summer and the Fall.
For example, one
question that I am asking is:
'What do you think the
goals of next school year (2021-22) should be?'
My responses would be:
(1) Help students enjoy
school again and get used to being in person once again
(2) Help students
through these stressful times that could have included illness, death, economic
stress, food insecurity, being stuck at home and racial unrest
(3) Help students who
have fallen behind in school either in credits, actual learning or both
(4) Help students who
have been totally disengaged from school under these circumstances
(5) Student voice and
feedback should be at the center of all that we do
Thank you! I look
forward to reading your responses!
