THE ANSWER IS IN THE
ROOM
Each week, Mr. Kearns and Ms. Paz will work with
colleagues from all over the building to share out instructional best practices
with one another. Each week will focus
on a different instructional topic connected to our Problem of Practice.
Here are some
highlights of the best practices shared after the last round of intervisitations; all
are focused on different methods of scaffolding.
Ms. Klepacki, from
the Math department,shared instructions for creating foldables to review
key concepts in Geometry, such as quadrilaterals, volume and congruent
triangles.

CALL TO ACTION
● AIR CONDITIONER CAMPAIGN MOMENTUM
Please keep up the momentum of
our Air Conditioner campaign – we have an amazing opportunity to reach our goal
with the anonymous donor that will match our donations
up to $50,000.
Let our students know
how important it is to take ownership of this campaign AND how unbearable it
gets in classrooms when it’s hot. $25
from each HSFI student who get us very close to the $50,000 goal.
We need to do our
part in spreading the word and getting donations whether you have an AC or do
not have an AC in your classroom or office – some people I have gotten to
donate include guys I play basketball with, the person who I purchase car
insurance from and quite a few members of the Bronx Science Graduating Class of
19__ (no need to identify the year).

● 2 FULL WEEKS LEFT IN THE FALL TERM
We are in the homestretch of the Fall term with 2
weeks of classes until Regents. Make
sure students understand that the grades they receive at the end of January are
the grades that colleges and universities will see. Encourage students to take advantage of staff
tutoring and tutoring from our National Honor Society students.
● KEEP THE REFERRALS COMING
We started off the school year
speaking about the ‘Snowball Effect’ of once a student starts heading in the
wrong direction, how hard it is to reverse that trend. If you notice a student heading the wrong
way, connect with the student, reach out to the family and fill out a referral
to let the school know what is going on.

● NEW ELEVATOR CARDS
Pick up your new elevator cards
from Ms. Ianniello in Room 819. Students
will be picking up their new elevator cards as well – make sure students
present their elevator cards. Here are
the rules they (and their parents) agreed to as part of their contracts:
□ You must show respectful
behavior to all other HSFI community members in the elevator
□ You, alone, can use the pass –
you are not allowed to bring a friend(s) with you onto the elevator
□ When you get on the elevator
(which will be color-coded), you need to show your pass to any staff member in
the elevator
□ If you lose your elevator pass,
the first replacement is free – after that you have to pay for a replacement
which will be $10
□ You must return your pass at
the end of the school year or when it expires (if it is a temporary pass)
□ You must submit a medical
letter from your doctor at the beginning of every school year
The consequences of breaking
these rules will be the following:
□ You will lose your elevator
pass privileges
□ For seniors, your cap and gown
for graduation will be held until it is returned

VTODs
FOR THE WEEK
Our VTODs will now be lexical
arrays of terms that are connected in meaning but often reflect differences in
tone, mood, or levels of intensity. For example: peek, glance, scowl, stare, and glare.
LEXICAL
ARRAY: from from PLACID to SUPPRESSED
Monday, January 9
Placid: (adj.) not easily upset or
excited; calm; peaceful. Her placid temperament offset her business partner’s
often irritable and aggressive personality.
A body of water free from disturbance by heavy waves is often described
as placid.
Tuesday, January 10
Taciturn: (adj.) habitually silent or
quiet, inclined to talk very little. .
The normally taciturn student began to speak enthusiastically in the
small discussion group. After touring to promote his film, the taciturn actor joked
that he had spoken more in the past four months than he had in four years.
Wednesday, January 11
Muted: (adj.) silent; toned down,
reduced volume; softened: Since the patient was asleep, the nurse spoke to us
in muted tones. The new owners painted the house in muted shades of yellow
rather than the bright blue of the previous owners.
Thursday, January 5
Reticent: (adj.) reserved; unwilling to
talk about what you feel or know. The
New York Times mentioned that the Nobel Prize winning lyricist and singer Bob
Dylan has always been reticent about granting interviews. The study examined whether women were
reticent about asking for a raise out of fear of upsetting their bosses.
Friday, January 6
Suppressed: (v) 1. To stop yourself from
showing an emotion: The sales associate suppressed her anger when her manager
publicly accused her of a mistake, but, later that day, she did speak to the
manager in private. 2. To stop
opposition through force or strict laws. The Government brutally suppressed the
citizens’ uprising.
DATA
TEAM REPORT
The PBIS Data team (Mr.
Raschilla, Ms. Weiss, Mr. Rau, and Mr. Blank) meets weekly to analyze the
disciplinary trends impacting the High School of Fashion Industries community. We will make you aware of what has happened
at the school each week and have a call for action to guide our responses to
eliminate this negative behavior and promote positive behavior.
