CALL TO ACTION
● NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY TUTORING BEGINS THIS WEEK
We should all be excited that our National Honor Society tutoring begins this week - thank you Ms. Adamczyk, Ms. Stambouly & Mr. Rau for your efforts in coordinating these efforts. Fill out those academic referrals and encourage your students to attend these sessions that are during 9th and 10th periods!
● FEEDBACK FROM SUPERINTENDENT ROSALES
#1 – She agreed with our identification of the
school’s Problem of Practice that focuses on rigor and differentiating
instruction for this rigorous instruction.
#2 – Our immediate next step is to insure that all
lesson plans have rigorous learning objectives. From this visit and
previous ones, she believes that some of the tasks that our students are
assigned are not as rigorous as they can be.
#3 – Formative assessments need to be part of
all lessons – the information gained from these assessments will help teachers
design their lesson plans as well as influencing instructional moves during a
class. These assessments can also support our efforts around rigor – you
will gain information on which specific students need to be challenged in
particular areas.
These next steps represent cornerstones to
well-planned lessons that will lead to improved student achievement. We look forward to working together in these
areas.
● CONTINUING OUR SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE DEVELOPMENT…
As a follow-up to the Yale University
Social-Emotional Intelligence presentation on the first day of school, please take
5-10 minutes to complete this survey on our school culture and your feelings
about HSFI - we will soon begin our efforts to create a charter of what
feelings all HSFI stakeholders want to feel here at school - https://goo.gl/forms/8QPszzYOtQGXMpOQ2
This survey is for all staff - no matter
your position at HSFI - all responses are confidential.

VTODs
FOR THE WEEK – COLLEGE TERMS
Tuesday, October 11
Absentee
Ballot: (n) A
vote submitted before an election by a voter unable to be present when the
election occurs. College students living outside their home state either can
mail in an absentee ballot or can register to vote in the state where they
attend school.
Thursday, October 13
Pundit:
(n) A learned person, expert, or authority. The
industry pundits gave the new mini laptop a thumbs-up. “CNN opted for more
speeches and less commentary, airing extended remarks by convention speakers
rather than frequently cutting to analysis from pundits.”
Friday, October 14
Spin: (n) distinctive interpretation
(especially as used by politicians to sway public opinion). A politician
attempts to shape the way the public looks at an issue or event, much the way a
tennis player uses spin to direct the ball. The campaign tried to put a
favorable spin on the candidate’s controversial remarks.

If you are interested in adding

week. Submissions emailed after this
