PBIS
CALL TO ACTION
We moving the CALL TO ACTION to the beginning of the
Weekly Bulletin to emphasize the needed follow-up to these items…
● FOLLOW-UP TO REPORT CARD CONFERENCING / RECOVERY CONTRACTS
This past Wednesday and Thursday,
HSFI staff members met with every 10th grader to review their 1st
marking period grades and see how they are feeling about HSFI. It was a powerful exercise that our students
reacted very positively to. We had students
fill out ‘Recovery Contracts’ for classes in which they were struggling – they
identified areas that they needed helped in from their teachers and areas they
could put more effort in themselves. Teachers
– we will be getting these recovery contracts to you – please follow-up with
these struggling students using these recovery contracts.
● REFERRALS…A GOOD THING
Do Not hesitate to fill out a
student referral – filling out a referral means we are working together to meet
the needs of a student. As I go through
the referrals, we only get a handful of National Honor Society referrals and I
know we have more than a handful of students struggling academically and could
benefit from these services. Here is the
Student Referral link – please use it:
● PUT OUR SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNINGF INTO ACTION
Just as we starting to use the
Mood Meter in our staff meetings, if you are comfortable you should using the
Mood Meter or some sort of social-emotional check-in with your students. Don’t just go right into the French
Revolution, geometric proof or draping activity – take a couple of minutes to
find out how your students are feeling and get them into the pleasantness /
energy quadrant that fits your lesson.

THE
ANSWER IS IN THE ROOM
Here are some highlights of the best practices shared
after the last round of intervisitations; all are focused on the use of
TWR as well as the use of socio-emotional practices in class.
In the Science department, Ms. Herrick created a quick outline to
review cell division. The students were prompted to write a paragraph
using topic sentences as well as conclusion sentence regarding meiosis and
mitosis.
In the Math department, Ms. Magner created a “because, but, so”
activity for the Algebra classes. Students were asked to describe errors made
in determining the discriminant and number of roots of a quadratic function.
In Ms. Eisenbeg's 10th grades classes, students
used a variety of TWR note taking and outlining strategies when studying the
essay "We Should All be Feminists".
To see these
activities and more join the HSFI Google+ Page found here. https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/108340703393557258737
*If any staff
member would like to share a lesson, activity, or best practice,
send it to Ms. Paz at SPaz@schools.nyc.gov or Mr. Kearns at kkearns@schools.nyc.gov
REACTION TO ANNUALIZATION CONSIDERATION
Thank you for all
your thoughtful comments and questions regarding annualization of classes – I
received about 40 responses with arguments both for and against. The Academic and CTE Accreditation Committee
will be meeting on Tuesday to review the responses. We will keep you updated on the process. Here is the link to the Google survey if you
want to add your thoughts:
PSAT / SAT DAY HIS WEDNESDAY, APRIL 5

SUMMER SCHOOL JOB
OPPORTUNITIES
We will be having summer school at HSFI once again
this summer – here is the website link to apply for a summer school position:
AIR CONDITIONER
INFORMATION
It is with good reason that we are very excited about
more air conditioners at HSFI – we should be proud of our collective
efforts. Here is some additional
information you need to know about the ACs:
□ We are continuing to accept donations for the ACs –
the more funds we collect, the more ACs we can purchase - https://www.gofundme.com/air-conditioners-fashion-high
□ If your room does not have an electrical outlet for
an AC, it should be coming – having an outlet does not guarantee that you will
receive an AC - unfortunately, we did not raise enough money to get every room
air conditioned this school year – the average cost of the unit, installation
and electric has added up to around $2,000 per classroom which is more
expensive than we originally told by the Division of School Facilities - no one
should expect multiple ACs in their classroom even with the presence of
multiple AC outlets.
My goal continues to be that every classroom has air
condition!
□ The goal for installation is before the weather gets
hots – the Division of School Facilities is dictating the rooms that get ACs
based on the electric capabilities of that part of the building – we have let
them know that we would like the ACs spread out among the school departments –
we have let them know which departments are in which rooms – there is no need
to ask any HSFI supervisor about which rooms are up next for installation

● 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.
● PER SESSION OPPORTUNITIES TO GRADE JUNE REGENTS
The Algebra I (CC),
Algebra II (CC), Chemistry, Earth Science, ELA (CC), Living Environment,
Physics, and Global History will be scored partially or fully through
per-session opportunities that will be funded and managed by the DOE.
Interested teachers and supervisors may now apply for
per-session positions at Regents-scoring sites and should do so by April
20. For questions, email regents@schools.nyc.gov.
● SPECIAL EDUCATION IMPORTANT REMINDERS
With
the change of semesters and classes, the Special Education department in room
329 wanted to provide everyone with a reminder regarding students with IEPs and
SESIS.
In
addition to asking a special educator, you can easily determine which students
in your class have IEP's by reviewing your class roster. If the first or last
character of the students’ official is a letter, the student has an IEP.
Generally, but not in all cases, a letter at the end means the student receives
SETSS services, while an I, C, or T at the beginning will signify an ICT
placement. There are exceptions where students have been moved from one
placement to another based on their needs and this is why it is incredibly
important to reference the IEP.
We
have also created, and have begun to distribute a new standards-based Teachers
Form. The information you are required to complete on this form is now more
subject specific and your insight will better help us in determine the needs of
our students with IEPs. The Teacher Form in conjunction with your participation
at the IEP meeting (if you are invited) are two critical elements we need in
order to best serve our students. We try to plan our IEP and Triennial meetings
with teacher schedules in mind, however there are times when families are only
available at specific times and a coverage will be requested for your class.
Welcome
to Spring Semester 2017! If you have a student in your class this semester that
has an IEP you may be asked to complete a Google “IEP Feedback” Form which now
includes a section specific to your content area. The information you provide
will assist the IEP Team in determining the best possible:
□ Setting (15:1, ICT, SETSS)
□ Accommodations (extended time, separate location, etc.),
□ Services (speech, mandated counseling) and
□ Goals and supports
You may also be asked to attend an Annual IEP Review meeting. Your participation in this process is vital in providing the student with the necessary supports that will enable the student to become college and career ready.
The IEP is a strategic planning document that should be far-reaching in its impact. It creates an opportunity for teachers, parents, school administrators, related service personnel, and students to work together to improve education results for children with disabilities.
Once the IEP is finalized, it is valid for one year, and is accessible via https://sesis.nycenet.edu/userlogin.aspx

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
Arrays - IMPROVE: from Revise to Advance
Monday, April 3
Advance: (v) 1. increase in amount,
number, or position. The team advanced the ball steadily down the field.
2. to accelerate growth or progress.
Through her dedication to advancing literacy in her under-served community, she
made a difference in many lives.
Lexical
Arrays – WORSEN or MAKE WORSE: from Hinder to Debilitate
Tuesday, April 4
Hinder: (v) to hold back; to make slow
or difficult: Though some stress is fine, too much is thought to hinder
development. The European Commission investigated whether Google "abused
its dominant position" and "hindered the development" of rivals.
Wednesday, April 5
PSAT / SAT DAY
Thursday, April 6
Impede: (v) to interfere with or slow
the progress of: Undeveloped or poor social skills can impede a student’s
success in school, but strategies to improve the skills are available. The much- needed highway repairs will not

Friday, April 7
Depreciate: (v) a to lower the price or
estimated value of: to lower in estimation or esteem. Governments are spending
more of their budgets on computers and software which depreciate much faster
