CALL TO ACTION
● FLY GRAND OPENING A HUGE SUCCESS – FASHION DOLLARS FLOWING
Our FLY opening was a spectacular
success – our students spent incredible amounts of Fashion Dollars on Friday –
they love the store and all the rewards and privileges that we offer to
them. Understanding this reality, use
Fashion Dollars the right way including:
(1) Aligning the distribution of
Fashion Dollars to the school’s problem of practice involving rigorous student
tasks. Reward students with Fashion
Dollars for trying challenging activities during a lesson. We need to positively reinforce rigor and
move away from just reinforcing compliance and basic class participation.
(2) Verbalize out loud for the
entire class why a student is receiving Fashion Dollars. You are not getting the full impact of this
reward system if the student does not hear why they are receiving Fashion
Dollars. You are not getting the full
impact of this reward system if the entire class does not hear why a specific
student received Fashion Dollars. This
will result in all students clearly understanding why they are being
distributed and will motivate students to produce similar behaviors.
● REFERRAL FEEDBACK
We understand there have been
glitches in the new referral system – we would like to get your feedback on the
referral form – please complete this brief survey and then use the results to
make appropriate changes: https://goo.gl/forms/c41PAt0MnLaq3xFh2
● HELP NEEDED WITH LUNCH APPLICATIONS
We collected over 100 lunch
applications this past week and are now below 400 - the entire school community
needs to contribute to this collection effort.
HSFI would look a lot different without the close to $1 million dollars
that we receive based on this collection.
OPERATIONAL
NEED TO KNOW
● CHECK YOUR DOE & HSFI EMAILS EVERYDAY
● HSFI STAFF HOMEPAGE LINK - https://sites.google.com/a/hsfi.us/hsfi-staff-portal/
● SOCIAL EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE PD SESSIONS
MONDAY
On Monday, we will be running professional
development sessions on Social Emotional Intelligence that picks up where we
left off from the first day of school’s Yale University presentation. All of these PD sessions will take place in
Room 724 during periods 2, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 9 – you are welcome to attend any of
these sessions depending on your schedule – attendance at one of these sessions
is required for all teaching and guidance staff - the PD session that you
attend is your choice. I would encourage all staff, regardless of title,
to attend one of these sessions. The
sessions will be run by our own staff that attended the Yale University
conference during the summer – thank you to Lexi Parisse, Amanda Padron,
Chelsea Stambouly and Kelly Conaghan for stepping up to run these sessions. We will run additional PD sessions on Social
Emotional Intelligence on Election Day and then again in December. We
will then begin work on the creation of a ‘HSFI Charter of Feelings’ that
outlined what we want to feel within our school community
● GRADES DUE
ON WEDNESDAY
Follow the instructions for STARS
CLASSROOM placed in your mailbox. Remember: We are using single numeric grades
from 65-100 as per our new grading policy.
55 is the one failing grade.
● DO NOT PLACED CLUB / ACTIVITY FLYERS
AROUND THE BUILDING
Flyers for clubs and activities
will be placed on the ‘Student Activities Bulletin Boards’ on every floor. Do not post these flyers yourself (or by your
students). Get them to Student
Government via Mr. Rau or Ms. San Jorge and they will posted in these
locations. In addition to these bulletin
boards, we have the whiteboards in the lobby and TV screens to market these
activities.
● COPY CENTER ISSUES BEING ADDRESSED
We are fully aware of the
problems with the copiers and the need to have the Copy Center running smoothly
– we just completed a purchase order for a whole set of machines to make sure everything
runs smoothly. Thank you for your
patience.
