REVIEW
OF VISUAL MERCHANDISING & GRAPHICS & ILLUSTRATION PROGRAMS
This Tuesday & Wednesday, two
of our CTE programs – Visual Merchandising and Graphics & Illustration will
be reviewed for accreditation by the NYC Department of Education & NY State
Education Department. This accreditation
review has major implications for the school – program approval results in
additional funding for our CTE programs and gives the school the ability to
screen students who are interested in our programs. Thank you to all our CTE teachers who
prepared for this approval – Good Luck!!!

● HOMEWORK POLICY IN EFFECT FOR SPRING TERM
We are all set with our HW policy to begin the
Spring 2017 term. The current draft was sent to you via email. In addition to your feedback, the policy has
been developed and approved by our Academic & Career and Technical
Education committee, Student Government, the Parents’ Association & the
School Leadership Team. The policy will be emailed to all students and
families – we will make sure students get a copy of the policy before the
Spring term begins. Make sure your HW policies align to the school-wide
policy for the Spring term. We will continually reflect on the policy and
make changes as necessary.
● TECHNOLOGY UPDATES
SMART
BOARD SOFTWARE TO INSTALL AT HOME
You
received an email from Mr. Tallone about installing Smart Board software on
your home devices - on the staff homepage are the instructions to installing
smart note software on your home computer. Please follow the instructions and
let Mr. Tallone know if you have any problems. Do not under any
circumstances download the file at school. It will slow down the
network and cause school wide problems.
GOOGLE APP WITH HOW TO VIDEOS
Below is a link to a new google app. It is used like an
extension in chrome and has tons of videos on how to use many google programs.
Use the link and add it to your hsfi account. (you must be logged into hsfi to
use it.) You can even download it at home. All of HSFI
current Tech guides are on connected to the app.
If you have questions, please speak to your supervisor.
