HSFI STAFF CHARTER OF FEELINGS SIGNING EVENT THIS FRIDAY!
‘HSFI Staff Charter of Feelings’ Signing
Event will take place this Friday from 7:30am – 9:00am outside of the copy
room. Please come by on this morning to
look over and sign the document we have been working on throughout the school
year. There will be breakfast for all
staff to help celebrate the signing. We
will be signifying with our signatures that ‘emotions matter’ at the High
School of Fashion Industries and we will work together to build a community
that takes everyone’s feelings into account as we interact with one another. This document will be a “living, breathing”
document and will change as we engage with this social-emotional work. We will begin to use Social-Emotional
Learning techniques including, but not limited to the ‘Mood Meter,’ during HSFI
staff meetings including focus groups, department meetings, professional
learning communities, committee meetings to get us familiar with these
strategies.
CONGRATULATIONS
TO THE VISUAL MERCHANDISING & GRAPHICS & ILLUSTRATION DEPARTMENTS
Both the NYC Department of
Education & NY State Education Department were blown away by the quality of
the Visual Merchandising and Graphics & Illustration departments this past
Wednesday during their accreditation review!
The four reviewers were impressed by our faculty, our students and the
whole school during their visit. As
always, this success can be attributed to a team effort by HSFI teachers,
students, parents, industry partners and supervisory staff. The result is continuation of additional
funding for our CTE programs and the ability to screen students who are
interested in our programs. Thank you to
all our staff that participated in the review!!!
CONGRATULATIONS
TO MS. PAGLIARO & HER SUCCESSFUL ‘SHARK TANK’ BUSINESS PRESENTATION EVENT WITH
CLARK UNIVERSITY
The Fashion Marketing department’s
‘Shark Tank’ event under the direction of Ms. Pagliaro was a huge success! All of her students presented high quality
business proposals to a panel of Clark University business students and HSFI
alumni. It was awesome to see our
students in fine form making oral presentations to a large audience with their
professional proposals. Thank you to Ms.
Pagliaro for making this event happen!

PBIS
CALL TO ACTION
● MAKE SURE YOU REFER STUDENTS
We cannot help students out, if
we do not know if they are having problems – fill out referrals as necessary
including academic ones which will refer to the National Honor Society HW Help. We hope to begin this service when we return
from next week’s break.
● USE OF STUDENT ACTIVITIES FORM
Make sure you are using the
‘Attendance for Student Activities’ link - when students go to a sports
practice, attend tutoring, or do service for you – LET US KNOW through this
form located on the Staff Homepage – we need to know these students are headed
in the right direction just as much as we need to know they are going in the
wrong direction.
● ENCOURAGE HSFI STUDENTS TO CHECK HSFI EMAILS
Supporting our college readiness theme,
remind your students that they should be checking their HSFI email every
day. Students should be getting in the
habit of checking their HSFI every day because they will lose out on many
opportunities if they don’t do so.
IMPORTANT
INSTRUCTIONAL REMINDERS
● THE WRITING REVOLUTION UPDATES
9th
and 10th grade academic teachers should continue to focus on the TWR skills
with an emphasis on OUTLINING. Here's a link to a review sheet of the
February focus skill created by Ms. McGoldrick:

● HOMEWORK POLICY – NO NEW HW ON WEDNESDAYS
Clarification for you and our
students – NO NEW HW ON WEDNESDAYS means that no new homework can be assigned
on Wednesdays. Assignments can be given
on Tuesdays (or other days) and due on Wednesdays. Please spread the word to students so they
are clear on the policy.
● INFORMATION ON KNOWING WHICH STUDENTS HAVE
IEPs
With
the change of programs, you may now have a student in your class who has an
IEP. In order to determine students with IEPs, check official class. If there
is a letter at the beginning or the end or the official class, the student will
have an IEP.
By logging onto SESIS ( https://sesis.nycenet.edu/userlogin.aspx ) will be able to review your students IEP and determine their individual needs. Please contact room 329 (ext3294) if you need assistance or have questions.
Teacher reports are a mandatory component of the IEP process. In order to effectively include teacher reports within the IEP they must be submit within four days of being requested. Please submit teacher reports when asked to do so and participate in IEP meetings when invited. Your participation and insight is crucial in creating a quality IEP and best serving our students with disabilities.

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 - SLOW: from DAWDLE to STALL
Monday, February 13
Dawdle: (v) to move or act too slowly;
to take a long time to do something. Last night, I dawdled over my assignment
and now must finish it on the subway. “Don't dawdle; we're late already.”
Tuesday, February 14
Languid: (adj.) slow or lazy and
involving very little energy or activity. We spent a languid afternoon by the
pool, doing nothing more than sipping cool drinks and dipping our feet in the
water.
Wednesday, February 15
Sluggish: (adj.) moving or reacting more
slowly than normal; not active or brisk. “Playing their second game in two
nights, the Capitals looked sloppy and sluggish in a 4-2 loss to the Maple
Leafs.” “For parts of the industry, 2016
was a sluggish year for video games.”
Thursday, February 16
Lag: (v) The act of slowing down or
falling behind. In a rally, Thursday, Renzi promised that he was lagging by
only “a few thousand” votes. (n) a delay
or period of waiting between one event and another. “Typically, there’s about a six-month lag
between the time demand starts to slow and prices begin to fall.”
Friday, February 17
Decelerate: (v.)- to go slower, especially
in a vehicle: ''A green traffic light ahead could turn amber, so we need to be
prepared to decelerate as we approach.”
