PBIS CALL TO ACTION
● We are one week away from the
beginning of our Lateness plan (see below for details) – please read the letter
to students as much as you can over the next week
● Parent-Teacher
Conferences are next week - reach out to parents you need to see so they
can adjust their schedules including child care, in order to attend the
conferences
● The Spring Club Fair is this
coming Friday, March 4 during the lunch periods in Room 829 – encourage your
students to attend and get involved – their participation is great for having
them feel connected to the school and helps them with their college
applications
● Referral Guidelines – remember the protocol for letting HSFI staff know about
at-risk students:
#1 - At-Risk Referral
form
#2 - If the issues
persist within a given marking period, fill out a Guidance Referral
#3 - Start fresh at
the beginning of the 2nd Marking Period – go back to the At-Risk
Referral form
PLEASE
REMEMBER THE NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY TUTORING REFERRALS
LATENESS
PLAN READY TO ROLLOUT
We are about to start our ‘Lateness Plan’ the week of March 7. In your mailboxes you should have received a
letter from me addressed to our students that I would like you to read every
day this week (2/29 – 3/4). I do not
want any HSFI student saying they did not hear about this plan. HSFI parents have received their letter about
the plan. I’m hopeful that this plan
will make a positive impact on this issue.
Thank you!
Dear HSFI Students,
As you all know, the main goal of the High School of Fashion
Industries is to prepare you for life after HSFI. One of the main problems in
our school is that there are over 600 students arriving late every day.
We know that ‘NYC Happens’ and students will occasionally come late due
to mass transit issues. Unfortunately, we have a large number of students
that consistently come late. This lateness results in these students
missing important instructional time that can result in low grades, failing
grades and/or poor exam results. If this lateness continues later in
life, you will be fired from your job. Your job right now is to be a
student and that means coming to school on time. We are going to be
instituting a plan that will hopefully result in more students coming on time
to their classes.
Here are the key parts of this lateness plan:
● Late students will sit in the auditorium for the duration of the
class period that they are late to under the supervision of a HSFI staff member
● Guidance counselors will be providing immediate phone
notification to all parents / guardians of the students held in the auditorium
that are consistently late
● This plan will take place randomly on 1-2 school days during a
given school week
● This plan will take place during periods 1 and 2 only
● For Period 1 – students will be held in the auditorium if they
arrive to school after 8:15 am
(8:10 am is the beginning of Period 1 – students will be given
these 5 extra minutes to get to class)
● For Period 2 – students will be held in the auditorium if they
arrive to school after 9:09 am
(9:04 am is the beginning of Period 2 – students will be given
these 5 extra minutes to get to class)
● Official student attendance will be adjusted to reflect a
student’s time of arrival
● Students can submit ‘MTA Late Slips’ to be excused from this
consequence if it applies
● Students on time will be given 5 Fashion Dollars for being on
time each school day
● This plan will take effect the week of March 7, 2016
We hope that you understand the importance of being on time.
This lateness plan has been shared and approved by the School Leadership
Team that consists of HSFI parents, staff, students and supervisors.

● 2016-17 Planning
I am following up on
my presentation to begin the Spring term when I identified the areas of growth
for the High School of Fashion Industries and the need to begin planning for
the 2016-17 school year so that we are unified as a school. The preparation is well under way with our
Technology Vision team and 13 staff members signed up for the 'Writing
Revolution' PD that will take place in March.
Below is a Google
survey for you to sign up for the planning teams for the remaining topics (only
if you wish to):
(1) Development of
the Social-Emotional Skills of HSFI Students - this includes Professionalism /
Growth Mindset and possibly the creation of a Service Learning requirement
(2) ICT Teacher
Team development - establishing best practices and resources for these teacher
teams
(3) Development
of Organizational Skills of HSFI Students – this includes Time Management /
Note-taking / Binder organization

Correlation (n) the relationship between
things that happen or change together. There is a direct correlation between
the best-known brands and the best-selling brands. A significant correlation
exists between going to high school and being a teenager, but that doesn't mean
that going to high school causes you to be a teenager.
