CALL TO ACTION
● LAST CALL FOR END OF YEAR PARTY
Our end of year party is this
Thursday, June 9 after our PD day – it would be wonderful to get as many HSFI
community members there as possible to celebrate another great school year and
honor the staff that will be retiring.
See Ms. Ianniello in Room 819 if you did not let her know that you want
to attend and now want to / if you signed up to attend and did not pay yet,
please see Ms. Ianniello by the end of the day on Monday
● FINISHING UP STRONG! 5 INSTRUCTIONAL DAYS LEFT
Please communicate with all
students that we only have 5 instructional days until the end of the Spring
term and the start of Regents examinations.
Please emphasize the fact that the grades given at the end of term are
the grades that appear on students’ transcripts seen by colleges, so they
should FINISH UP STRONG! As we all know as the weather heats up, our students’
attention span seems to drift – focus on active engagement in your classes to
keep our students on the straight and narrow.
● 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
HELP
NEEDED TO GET STUDENTS TO FILL OUT END OF YEAR SURVEY
For the second year in a row, I sent an end of year ‘Student Voice in Making HSFI Better’ survey. I asked them about whether or not they look
forward to coming to HSFI every day, the activities they participated in,
and what they thought of the cafeteria, bathrooms and Fashion Dollars. The survey should
take students about 15 minutes to complete – please encourage them to take the
survey – maybe even motivate them with some extra credit. My hope is that
these responses and comments will make HSFI even better than it is.
HSFI
STAFF NEEDED TO WORK AS SUMMER SCHOOL SUBS, GRADERS, PROCTORS & TUTORS
It is clear that few HSFI staff want to work full-time
during the summer, but we still need substitute teachers, tutors, Regents
proctors and Regents graders. Please
fill out the below surveys to let us know if you want to work in these
capacities:

Summer School as a Substitute Teacher:
OPERATIONAL
NEED TO KNOW
● First Monday Schedule – No PLCs /
Department Meetings
This Monday, June 6, we will be on a First
Monday schedule but there will be no Professional Learning Communities or
Department meetings – staff will be on their own to finish end of year
work. Teachers are on an 8:30 – 3:15 schedule.
● Important Testing Reminders
We are a week
away from Regents, but it is important that we be ready for these high-stakes
exams – there are 2 main reminders:
REMINDER TO MAKE ROOMS
REGENTS READY
Before a test can be
given in any room, teachers must prepare the rooms to the following
specifications - Please assist all proctors by preparing your classrooms:
(1) Desks must be
arranged in straight rows.
(2) Teachers must
clear desks and shelves under the desks of all books, papers, and other
materials.
(3) Teachers must
completely cover or remove all charts or remove maps pertinent any subject
matter being tested. Teachers must remove all board work.
ACTIVE
TESTING PROCTORING
It is critical that everyone be ACTIVE proctors during the testing
period – follow the proctoring checklist step by step to insure that all New
York City and State testing regulations are followed. Be sure to:
#1 – Make sure you speak to students individually as they enter
the testing room to put away any electronic equipment in their lockers if they
still have possession of them
#2 – Make sure you are walking around the classroom during the
exam and look out for students correcting filling out the answer sheets to make
sure they do not omit questions or double bubble
#3 – Call up students one by one when they want to hand in their
examinations and thoroughly examine their answer sheets and essay booklets to
make sure the exams are properly completed
● Accommodations for Students Observing
Ramadan
Ramadan starts this Tuesday,
June 7th and lasts for a month, though the only days that really affect these
students are June 7 (Tuesday), June 8 (Wednesday), June 9 (Friday) and June 12
(Monday). Brought up by Ms. Bohner, it would be great to have a place for
those students observing Ramadan to have a place to go during lunch so that
they don't have to be in the cafeteria with all the food around when they are
trying to fast. These students can go to
the student lounge 5th and 6th / they can go to Room 646 during 4th
and 7th. Thank you Ms. Bohner
and Ms. Thomas!
● Your Voice Needed to Improve Our
Technology Support
Please assist us by filling out this quick survey
regarding technology assistance – you will be rating the
overall computer service assistance from (1) Needs Major Improvement; to (2)
Fair; (3) Good, but Needs Some Adjustments; (4) Excellent.

COOL THINGS GOING ON AT HSFI
● HSFI Students Showcased in a Young
Author’s Book Project
You must visit the website - http://brightblueskyandgraysilence.com/ - which showcases a Youth
Author’s Book Project that Ms. Rebecca Eisenberg facilitated with our students
through ‘826NYC,’ a nonprofit
organization dedicated to supporting students ages 6-18 with their creative and
expository writing skills and to helping teachers inspire their students to
write. The organization’s services are structured around our belief that great
leaps in learning happen with one-on-one attention and that strong writing
skills are fundamental to future success.
Some of the students showcased on the website include Lisseth Aguilar,
Zuairah Islam, Tammy Leong, Jarai Ross-Mackey, Carmen Salas, Alice Sungurov and
Sukari Webb. The students wrote personal
narratives with the guiding theme, “Place and How it Shapes Us.” After working
in-class with volunteers for four weeks, selected students formed an editorial
board to determine the title of the publication, discuss internal story orders
and themes, meet with the book and web designers, and more. The culminating
publication, Bright Blue Sky and Gray Silence, will be available
for purchase on June 8th, 2016 via the 826NYC storefront, the Brooklyn Superhero Supply Co. To help celebrate the students’ hard work,
Sheri Booker, author of Nine
Years Under: Coming of Age in an Inner-City Funeral Home, wrote the
foreword to the book. She is also joining the students for a book release party
at the High School of Fashion Industries on June 8th, 2016.
● Student Awards Ceremony on Wednesday, June
8
This is a highlight of the school
year as we celebrate the success of our students, especially our seniors, in
front of family and staff. Please join
us for this wonderful event.
● National Honor Society Induction Ceremony
on Friday, June 10
Our highest achieving students
will be honored this coming Friday for our annual NHS Induction ceremony. As always, thank you Ms. Adamczyk for leading
NHS!
● HSFI Alumni Association College Scholarships Winners Announced
Congratulations
to the recipients of the 2016 Alumni College Scholarship winners - each of
these students earned $500 to use towards their educational
endeavors. The recipients are Fashion
Design - Isabella Lajarra;
Graphics and Illustration -Nasiba Chowdhury; and ‘Dreamer’ - Fabian Salazar.
Each of these students will be awarded $500 during the Senior
Award Ceremony. Thank you to our scholarship judges that
included faculty members Mr. Alvarez, Ms. Bohner, Mr. Villalona, Ms. Zubrovich,
Ms. Vongerichten, Ms De La Rosa and Ms. Dahill.
As always, thank you to our dedicated Ms. David who is the HSFI Alumni
Association Director.
● HSFI Track Team Stars at City
Championships
Congratulations to the Girls
Outdoor Track Team as they had a fine showing at the P.S.A.L City Championships
this past Sunday, at Randall's Island. The day started with Sophomore Brittani
Broderick placing 6th overall in the 100 Meter Hurdles. Brittani is currently the #2 sophomore in all
of New York City in the 100 Meter Hurdles. Great job Lady Falcons - keep up the
good work.
● Ms. Gibson Educational Excursion to China
As you may know, Ms.
Gibson spent the last two weeks teaching Human Sexuality at Chongqing
University of Technology. This experience was part of a Professional
Development opportunity that she applied for through Widener University, where
she is currently studying for her PhD in Human Sexuality Education. The program
was competitive, but she was chosen as one of the 5 students to attend. Through
this experience she gained valuable knowledge that she will use to empower and
improve individual student connections of not only HSFI's students of Chinese
ethnicity, but of all students as they journey through their lifelong sexuality
education. If you are interested in seeing how her journey developed, you can
visit her Google Classroom "Ms. Gibson goes to China." Through
this educational tool she was able to blog and post for her students.
Everyone was invited through their HSFI email account, or you can join
using the code: 8hhs1b
● HealthCorps Opportunity
Thanks to Ms. Goodell for bringing this
opportunity our way - HealthCorps University will be hosting its very first
Summit on Health and Wellness Leadership on Saturday, June 18th from 9 AM - 4 PM. The Summit will consist of multiple health and
wellness workshops facilitated by both HealthCorps staff and
HealthCorps Coordinators. Lunch
and transportation included, as well as a $100 stipend for any D.O.E staff. If you are interested, please contact Ms.
Goodell at jean.goodell@healthcorps.org
