– AWESOME COLLEGE T-SHIRT DAY / COLLEGE ACCESS SHOWCASE FOR THE MAYOR’S OFFICE
& DEPUTY CHANCELLOR
Thank you for an amazing College
T-shirt Day – we practically had the entire staff participate in this event as
shown by these photos. In speaking with
our students, they verbalized the tremendous impact that you had on them by wearing
these t-shirts and sweatshirts. We have
created a wonderful college going culture with our APPS classes, Youth Leaders,
Bridge Coaches and this annual event!
On Monday, October 26, HSFI will
be showcased by the Mayor’s Office and NYC Department of Education for our
college access work. The Mayor or Deputy
Mayor, Deputy Chancellor Phil Weinberg and the press will be here to celebrate
the great work we do in this area of focus.

some negative interaction in the virtual world.

– NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY TUTORING / MENTORING
I am pleased to share with you
another tool in our arsenal to support our struggling students – tutoring and
mentoring from our National Honor Society students. Every day we will have our very best students
from the National Honor Society available after school both during 9th
and 10th periods to tutor and mentor our struggling students in the
Charles Nolan Room in the library. As we
know all too well, many times our students listen to their classmates more than
they listen to us adults. WE NEED
REFERRALS to get our National Honor Society students working and get
our struggling students the help they need.
I know you have students in your classes that can benefit from this peer
tutoring.
The way you refer a student to
this tutoring is to submit an academic guidance referral on Jupiter Grades with
the message NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY in the message section. We will then
get meet with the student and help get them to the tutoring sessions.
Thank you to Ms. Adamczyk (madamcz@schools.nyc.gov), the
National Honor Society Director, and Assistant Principal Steve Rau (srau@schools.nyc.gov) for their efforts
in executing this program. Please feel free to email either of them if
you have any questions.
