– THANK YOU FOR BEING READY FOR OUR HIGH PROFILE VISITS
As always, Manhattan
Superintendent Marisol Bradbury and her team were impressed with their visit to
HSFI. These visits are nerve racking,
but we always shine because we take these visits seriously as opportunity to
show off the incredible work we do for our students.
As you well know, InsideSchools.org
will be visiting HSFI on Monday to do a profile on the school. InsideSchools.org is the main place where
parents go to get information on NYC schools.
We always want the best and brightest students and families – a positive
review from InsideSchools.org will go a long way to helping our admissions
efforts.

– OFFICIAL FALCON HEALTH CENTER OPENING THIS THURSDAY
You are invited this Thursday
from 8:30 am – 10:00 am to the official opening of the Falcon Health Center with
elected officials and key members of the New York City Department of Education
and Department of Health. The health
center has had a hugely positive impact on our students’ lives and there is
reason to celebrate!
#3
– CHANGING ANNOUNCEMENT TIME
We will be moving our
announcements to the beginning of 3rd period starting on Monday –
the final results were 85% / 15% for the change.
#4
– OPENING UP COMPUTER LABS BEFORE & AFTER SCHOOL – STAFF NEEDED
We want to open up a computer lab
for students before school from 7:30 am – 9:00 am and after school from 2:50 pm
– 4:50 pm. Our students need this
opportunity to complete assignments, do research and print assignments. We need staff to oversee these computer lab
hours. Please apply online to per
session posting #54 – please also email me directly to let me know you have
applied for the position.
#5
– LUNCH APPLICATIONS – URGENT HELP NEEDED!!!!!
We still have 550 students who
still have not returned their lunch application – the lists of your students were
placed in your mailboxes last week.
Follow up with these students and help motivate them to return these
applications. Always remember that HSFI
receives $1 million dollars in Title I funding through the collection of these
lunch applications – our school would look a whole lot different without these
funds – people’s jobs and student services are at stake.
#6
– STUDENT AT-RISK FORMS NEED TO BE UTILIZED
Thus far, only 105 students (covering
27 teachers and Assistant Principals) have been identified as at-risk students
through our ‘Google Student At Risk Form.’
With 1825 students at HSFI, I suspect there are more than 105 failing
grades for the first marking period.
Moving forward, these ‘Student At Risk Forms’ must be filled out for
struggling students – all teachers have contractually mandated parent
engagement time to fill out these forms.
#7
– NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY TUTORING / MENTORING
Speaking of at-risk students, another
tool in our arsenal to support our struggling students is tutoring and
mentoring from our National Honor Society (NHS) students. I visited this NHS tutoring centering this
past Thursday and I saw about 8 NHS students just sitting waiting for students
to help – they had nobody to help – it was such a waste to have them sitting
there ready to go with nothing to do. WE
NEED REFERRALS! 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.

– take care of attendance sheets
Important Reminders about Your Attendance Sheets:
(1) The sheet is only for attendance - nothing else. Grades,
check marks, random marks and random writing are not allowed on these
sheets. White out is not be used on these sheets.
(2) Do not crumble these sheets - they need to be in pristine
condition when turned in.
Understand that attendance is hugely important and the sheets are
legal documents. The NYC Department of
Education looks at these sheets every day.
