PBIS CALL TO ACTION
● Our Lateness plan will continue
later this week – late week we held 65 students after they came late to 2nd
period – make sure you back up our plan by
encouraging your students to get to school on time and #1 - Bubble in
lateness for students late to class on the blue and white attendance sheets
#2 - Have activities and
assessments set up at the beginning of class to motivate students to get to
class on time – THIS IS ESPECIALLY CRITICAL FOR 1ST & 2ND
PERIOD CLASSES
#3 - Use Fashion Dollars to
positively reward students who are on time – remember, the students who are
late will see the on time students getting rewarded and want to get those
rewards
● Please start encouraging your
students to support their classmates by attending the student productions
during the Spring (dates listed below) – the first one is SING on April 15
& 16 which should be amazing – please see Ms. Christina Vega, our SING
Coordinator, in Room 427 if you have any specific questions – you can email her
using SING@hsfi.us.
The Fashion, ICP and Art shows are not far behind!
● GUIDANCE REMINDERS
#1 - When filling out referrals
you should only check off AP Guidance or AP Security. Ms. Bernstein (AP Guidance) will make sure
the referral gets to the correct counselor / Mr. Raschilla (AP Security) will
assign the referral to the correct Dean
#2 - 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
COOL THINGS GOING ON
@ HSFI
● HSFI
Students SOARR in the Classroom
For Marking period one, 582 students (33.1% of the
entire HSFI population) made the honor roll (85-91.99
grade point average) and 485 students (27.6% of the entire HSFI
population) made the high honor roll (92-100 grade
point average) – in total, over 60% of our students had over an 85
average…Most Impressive!
● Youth Leader Interviews for 2016-17
The entire HSFI staff was emailed a list
of 10th grade students who have 95% attendance and 80+ average – we will
picking next year's Youth Leaders from this group. Please take a look at
this group and highlight any students that you feel may be good
leaders. Please email Kate McKeon at kmckeon4@schools.nyc.gov if you have anyone to nominate!
● Health Fairs at HSFI During the Spring
We are lucky enough as a school
community to host 2 Health Fairs for our students – the first one will be on
April 13 in partnership with HealthCorps / the second one will be on April 20
in partnership with the Falcon Health Center.
DEPARTMENT OF
EDUCATION STAFF SURVEY
Hopefully
you received by now the information you need to fill out the DOE Learning
Environment staff survey. Please take a few minutes this week to complete
the anonymous survey online.
I look carefully at the overall
results to shape the direction of things like professional development and
staff communication. Prospective HSFI parents and families and students
look to the results to decide whether they should apply to our school of
not.
We have worked tremendously hard
together to create a wonderful learning environment for our students and this
is your chance to let them know. Thank you!
The link to the survey is below but
you must have the unique access code from the postcard to proceed:
OPERATIONAL
NEED TO KNOW
● Superintendent Visits to HSFI – Monday, March 14 & Friday, March
18
On Monday, HSFI will be hosting our
Superintendent Marisol Rosales and 14 Superintendents from around the United
States. Superintendents from around the country will be visiting schools
throughout NYC next week and our Superintendent was asked to showcase one of
her exemplary schools – of course, she choose HSFI. We obviously want to
put our best foot forward for our visitors inside and outside the
classroom.
Also, please be aware that this
Friday, March 18, will be hosting a professional development for all NYC DOE
Superintendents. They will not be visiting classes, but it is important
that the learning environment is maintained throughout the day
● OP Bell Schedule on Wednesday for
Distribution of Student Surveys
The extra time will be used for
students to take the DOE Learning Environment Survey.
Students DO NOT go to OP – they
stay in your third period classes to take their survey. Please encourage students to make thoughtful
responses to the survey – the responses can help determine the type of student
and family we get at the school – we always want the highest quality!
