HSFI SING
THIS IS IT – SING IS
THIS FRIDAY & SATURDAY!!!!!
Thank you to MS. CHRISTINA VEGA for making SING a reality –
this was a huge undertaking that she did with a smile every day. Thank you to all the staff who guided our
students through this journey - MR. TALLONE, MR. RUSSELL, MS.
HUAMAN, MR. STAMPONE, MR. VILLALONA, MS. VARRICHIO, MS. PAZ, MS. SILVA, MS.
CHAVEZ, MS. SAN JORGE, MS. BAILEY, MS. DE LA ROSA, MR. KALISCH & MS. CHUNG.
Thank you for all your support of
the SING musical production – the extra credit offered, dealing with the length
of these announcements, the reminders to students and you posting the posters! We cannot thank you enough for offering your
students extra credit for attending both SING productions in support of the over
100 students have been working extremely hard since January on the SING
production. It would be amazing to have
a full house in our inaugural year of SING.
Here is some important
information about SING that you can communicate to students when you are
publicizing the event:
● The shows are this Friday,
April 15 at 7:00 pm & this Saturday, April 16 at 5:00 pm
● Tickets are $4 for one show /
$5 for both shows – tickets will be on sale in the FLY store and student
cafeteria. Every cent of the ticket
sales will be invested into next year’s SING production – the goal is that SING
becomes a fixture at HSFI.
● There are 2 shows each night –
the 9th and 11th graders are working together on one show
/ the 10th and 12th graders are working together on one
show
● The show is a competition where
we will have judges that evaluate the show in different categories based off a
production rubric – points will be combined over the 2 nights and a winning
show will be named at the end.
● Most importantly, everything
you see and hear is student produced under the guidance of our dedicated HSFI
staff – the script, the acting, the songs, the dancing, the scenery –
Performing Arts are alive and well at HSFI!
PBIS
CALL TO ACTION
● ENTERING THE HOME STRETCH
The second marking period ends on
Wednesday and we will be officially in the home stretch of the school year in
the third and last marking period. The
grades that our students receive in June will be the grades that colleges
evaluate them on. Students failing
classes will be programmed for Summer school.
Please encourage and help your students to finish up strong!
● MAINTAINING SCHOOL TONE
As we enter the home stretch of
the school year, it is critical that we need to be UNIFIED as a staff in enforcing our school rules to maintain
our school tone. Please be consistent
and model the correct behaviors our students need in order to SOARR to college
and career readiness.
NO
FOOD IN CLASSROOMS
– students can only eat in the student cafeteria & the student lounge - no
food should in classrooms before, during or after school – no staff or students
should be eating in any computer lab
DRESS
CODE – every
week there are zero dress code infractions which is certainly not reality–
nobody is reporting these infractions via Jupiter Grades – please make these
referrals, so we can follow up with these students and help set the proper tone
and attire here at HSFI
PROPER
USE OF HALL / HEALTH CENTER PASSES
– students can only leave the classroom with a pass / students going to the
Falcon Health Center must use that specific pass
ELECTRONIC
EQUIPMENT POLICY
- electronic equipment are only allowed to be used in classrooms for instructional
purposes – students must not be allowed to take out their phones during class and
do not let students charge this equipment in your classrooms
ELEVATORS – students are not allowed on
staff elevators unless they have their own elevator card / ask students to show
their elevator passes when they are in those elevators
COOL THINGS GOING ON
@ HSFI
● 40 HSFI 11th GRADERS GOING ON A COLLEGE TRIP TO UPSTATE
NY
On Monday and Tuesday of this week, 40 of the juniors will be on
an overnight college trip to upstate New York where they will visit colleges
including SUNY Binghamton and Syracuse University.
● NEXT WEDNESDAY, APRIL 20 IS GOING TO BE AN EXCITING DAY AT HSFI
On this day, HSFI will be rockin’
– our Health Fair in coordination with the Falcon Health Center will be taking
place; our annual Blood Drive is going on; and the opening of our Photography
exhibit that is in partnership with the International Center of Photography
will lift off after school in Room 819.
● STUNTS TEAM CONTINUES TO STEAM ROLL OPPONENTS
Two weeks, Two
decisive wins for the HSFI Stunts team!
This past Saturday HSFI beat Lehman High School 16-4. Last week, HSFI defeated Stuyvesant HS. All Stunts team members have put so much
effort into every practice and their stunts and tumbling were very clean. The
team is ready for their matchup next week!
OPERATIONAL
NEED TO KNOW
● 2nd Cycle Classes Begin on
Monday
The Tuesday / Thursday classes
will now meet Monday / Wednesday / Friday and Vice Versa. Among the classes that the affected by this change
in cycles affect include Physical Education, Health and College Prep APPS.
● Monday & Tuesday are OP Bell Schedule
/ 11th Grade Student Voice in Course Choice
Our guidance
counselors will be visiting their 11th grade OPs on Monday and
Tuesday – their message will be letting our juniors know that the school will
be sending them an email regarding their Math & Science classes next
year. They will choose whether or not
they (1) Only want a Science class next year; (2) Only want a Math class next
year; (3) Want both a Math & Science class next year. Our hope is that our students choose both
Math & Science, so they will strengthen their college resumes.
● Important Attendance Office Reminders
#1 - The week of April 11 attendance sheets will be printed
daily. They will not be in teacher's mailboxes the night before, but the
day of.
#2
- Please return your March attendance sheets. There are 5 pages of
teachers who have not returned their sheets. If you
would like to know if you owe sheets, please stop by the Attendance office in
Room 201.
● Be Considerate of Guidance Office When
Making Copies
When making copies in the copy
room, please make sure to put back any supplies you may borrow from the
guidance office. Many items have gone missing lately, and then staff
members are without staplers, pens, etc. Please make sure to return these
items to the guidance office staff member once you have finished with them.
STUDENT
INFORMATION RESOURCE
● LAUNCH OF ISS STUDENT INFORMATION GOOGLE
DOCUMENT
To help all of us help
Fashion students with disabilities that have Individualized Education Plans,
Ms. How has led the efforts to create this ISS Student Information Google

a link to SESIS to view their Individualized Education Plan (IEP).
You will also be able
to see all of the teachers for each student during a given term. Our hope
is that this document will eventually be interactive where staff is able to
share specific feedback on individual students.
We will be following up within departments to help you maximize use of
the document.
