PBIS CALL TO ACTION
□ In light of current events and
as the holiday season gets closer and closer, this
can be a difficult time for our students. Please be sensitive towards their
needs and notify guidance counselors, deans and other support staff of any
concerns you may have.
□ We are officially in the home stretch of the Fall term – encourage students who
need additional help in their classes to take advantage of the tutoring that is
available from our teaching staff or from their classmates who are in the
National Honor Society.
□ You all give so much of
yourselves to our students, do not forget to take care of yourself and find
time to destress – that might include attending our holiday party on December
15.
□ Important Fashion Dollar
announcements to STOP TOKEN HOARDING
(1) USE FD OR LOSE THEM - Fashion Dollars will not carry over
from year to year and MUST be
spent during this school year
(2) We will soon be installing Interest
Rates on Fashion Dollar accounts in the hopes of getting students to deposit
them
OPERATIONAL
NEED TO KNOW
□ First Monday Schedule…Where
To Report ON TIME for 2:30 pm
√ All CTE Teachers,
report to Ms. Boulamaali in RM 844
√ All English, Math,
Science, Social Studies and Spanish Teachers and all Guidance Counselors, please
report to your PLC Assignment. Remember
to bring a copy of your November CCSS Assessment and Target Student work. ROOM
CHANGE: Ms. Fecsko’s PLC has moved from RM 323 to RM 545
√ All Physical
Education teachers, report to Ms. Sostre in the Third Floor Gymnasium
√ All
Para-Professionals, report to Ms. How in RM 329
√ ‘New Staff to HSFI’
Meeting in Room 821 from 3:15 – 4
□ Attendance Bubbling Must
Improve
√ There were 759
Confirmation Sheets generated for the month of October – this means that 759
times during the month of October there has been incorrect bubbling – this is
an ENORMOUS NUMBER!
√ A confirmation sheet is generated
when a student did not go to their 3rd period class, but they were
marked present another period during the day. It is crucial that everyone
takes accurate attendance for this to be avoided. Incorrect bubbling can
cause issues when we call home mid-day saying that your child is absent from
school – a parent calls saying I sent my child to school – and we then have to
explain that a staff member did not take attendance correctly – not the most
pleasant of phone calls as well as making the school look pretty bad. If
necessary, I will be following with disciplinary meetings and file letters on
this issue.
Other Important Attendance
Bubbling Reminders:
(1) It is very important to turn in your
sheets every night. If sheets are not turned in, it generates more
Confirmation Sheets than needed.
(2) It is mandatory if you are
going on a trip, you must give the Attendance Office a list of student names
with their nine digit numbers 48 hours in advance. Students are being
marked absent from their classes when they should be present because they are
on a trip. Every time a teacher goes on a trip, regardless of the period,
an attendance sheet is generated for that trip.
(3) Please make sure you have turned in
your November Attendance Sheets. Confirmation Sheets for this month will
be run next week.
COOL
THINGS THIS WEEK…ITS ALL ABOUT SING
□ SING IS THE WORD…275
students and 25 staff members have signed up to participate in SING!!!
I hope many of you are excited to
be part of this production – the response from the entire HSFI community has
been amazing. The schools that have done SING in the past have
recommended not only individual staff get involved, but in addition we use our
existing clubs, activities and teams to integrate them into the musical
production. If you are personally interested and/or want the club,
activity or team that you supervise to be part of SING - please fill out the
attached survey (you might need to cut and paste the link into Chrome):
For those of you
interested in being part of SING – here is the per session posting to apply for
- #47 – here is the link to apply (USE CHROME):
SOME
THOUGHTS ON LATENESS
As we continue to have one-third
of the school late to school, I am interested in pursuing a tactic we used in
summer school where we held late students for first and second period in the
auditorium and not allowed to go to class. Once the music ends for the
beginning of period 1 & 2, students would be directed into the
auditorium. We might not be able to do this every day, but at least a
couple of times a week. While students
are being held in the auditorium we can call them into the Deans and Guidance
offices for direct outreach to families.
The bottom line is that we have
600+ students late in some form everyday – this cannot be the norm that we just
accept. Looking forward to discussing.

beliefs, values, and customs.
(2) The display of holiday symbol decorations with secular
dimensions is permitted. Permitted symbols include, but are not limited to,
Christmas trees, kinaras, dreidels, menorahs, and the Star and Crescent.
Displays that depict images of deities, other religious figures, or religious
texts are prohibited.
(3) Holiday displays must not appear to promote or celebrate any
single religion or holiday; therefore, any permitted symbol or decoration must

different beliefs or customs.
(4) All holiday displays should be temporary in nature.
