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…
● DOWN THE HOMESTRETCH…6 SCHOOL DAYS REMAINING
We have 6 school days remaining –
these 5 days this week and next Monday before Regents exams begin. Make sure your students know this and
appreciate the importance of finishing the school year strong. Tie this strong finish to college and summer
school. Students must understand the
grades that they receive in June will be the ones that colleges will see and
ultimately determine whether or not they are scheduled for summer school or
not.
PROMOTE
THE TUTORING THAT WILL TAKE PLACE IN GETTING STUDENTS READY FOR THE REGENTS
● RAMADAN HAS BEGUN…BE MINDFUL OF OUR OBSERVING STUDENTS
Our Muslim students will be
fasting for the next lunar cycle – please be understanding of our observing
students.
● PRIDE MONTH VTODs
The month of June is LGBTQ Pride Month to commemorate the Stonewall riots, which occurred at
the end of June 1969. The Fashion Empowers Committee has put
together VTODs to enlighten our students on LGBTQ vocabulary – please go over
and post in your classrooms and offices.
Monday, June 5
Asexual:
(adj.) A person
who experiences little to no sexual attraction, but may experience other forms
of attraction (e.g., intellectual, emotional). Asexual people may also identify
as “bisexual,” “gay,” “lesbian,” “pansexual,” “queer,” “straight,” and many
more. “As an asexual person, he often felt excluded and alone when his friends
talked about sex.”
Tuesday, June 6
Gender:
(n.) A set of
cultural identities, expressions and roles — coded as feminine or masculine —
that are assigned to people, based upon the interpretation of their bodies, and
more specifically, their sexual and reproductive anatomy. Since gender is a
social construction, it is possible to reject or modify the assignment made,
and develop something that feels truer and just to oneself. “Gender is a very
sensitive topic in my family--as a child, my parents knew me as a girl, but now
they need to accept me for the man I am.”
Wednesday, June 7
Gender
Identity: (n.)
How an individual identifies in terms of their gender. Gender identities may
include, “male,” “female,” “androgynous,” “transgender,” “genderqueer” and many
others, or a
combination thereof. “He has difficulty finding a job because of the prevalence of discrimination against his gender identity.”
combination thereof. “He has difficulty finding a job because of the prevalence of discrimination against his gender identity.”
Thursday, June 8
STAFF DEVELOPMENT DAY
Friday, June 9
Queer: (adj.) An umbrella term used to
describe a sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression that does
not conform to dominant societal norms. While it is used as a neutral, or even
a positive term among many LGBT people today, historically “queer” was used as
a derogatory slur. “Although ‘queer’ has been used as a slur, LGBTQ folks have
reclaimed it, and I identify as queer with pride.” , she said.
● MAINTAINING SCHOOL TONE
As we enter the home stretch of
the school year, it is critical that we need to be UNIFIED as a staff in enforcing our school rules to maintain
our school tone. Please be consistent
and model the correct behaviors our students need in order to SOARR to college
and career readiness.
NO
FOOD IN CLASSROOMS
– students can only eat in the student cafeteria & the student lounge - no
food should in classrooms before, during or after school – no staff or students
should be eating in any computer lab
DRESS
CODE – every
week there are zero dress code infractions which is certainly not reality–
nobody is reporting these infractions – please make these referrals, so we can
follow up with these students and help set the proper tone and attire here at
HSFI
PROPER
USE OF HALL / HEALTH CENTER PASSES

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, other scaffolds, as well as the use of socio-emotional practices in
class.
In the English Department, Ms.
Dawson created a TWR "simple outline" and incorporated note taking
skills for her ninth grade students. She gave them a topic sentence and
they had to fill in the details.
In the Math Department, Ms.
Medina and Ms. Chung created a TWR activity for their Geometry classes.
Students were asked to fill in appositives for key Geometry vocabulary
words. The amazing part was that students came up with more appositives
than the teachers anticipated!
In the Math Department, Ms. Dye
and Ms. LaTanza created a structure with their Geometry classes in order to
best review for the Regents. In solving multi-step word problems,
different students present different steps to the solution so that all students
are engaged in the review process. An example is shown below.
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

ACTIVE
TESTING PROCTORING
It is critical that
everyone be ACTIVE proctors during the testing period – follow the proctoring
checklist step by step to insure that all New York City and State testing
regulations are followed. Be sure to:
#1 – Make sure you speak
to students individually as they enter the testing room to put away any
electronic equipment in their lockers if they still have possession of them
#2 – Make sure you are
walking around the classroom during the exam and look out for students
correcting filling out the answer sheets to make sure they do not omit
questions or double bubble
#3 – Call up students one
by one when they want to hand in their examinations and thoroughly examine
their answer sheets and essay booklets to make sure the exams are properly
completed
ROOM READINESS
Classrooms must be made "Exam Ready"
no later than 3:45 on Monday June 12th. This involves:
(1) Removing or covering any information on the
walls, or board which students should not see during their exam.
(2) Desks and chairs should be arranged neatly
in evenly spaced rows.
(3) Books should be removed from under chairs.
(4) The teacher’s desk must be clear and free
from clutter so that the proctor may spread our materials.
The following classrooms will be used
for testing:
3rd Floor: 319, 321, 323, 325, 327

PARKING PERMIT DISTRIBUTION
As a result of
the recent arbitration and negotiations among the unions and the DOE, beginning
May 18, the DOE will issue DOE parking permits to CSA, UFT and DC 37 staff in
schools.
Note that specific school staff may
already have current Department of Transportation (DOT)-issued permits.
School-based staff must either have a DOT or DOE issued permit to park in
designated school parking areas. Both DOT and DOE parking permits are valid
until November 2017. DOE parking permits issued to school-based staff in
the above unions will be school-specific (i.e., the permit will indicate the
school name and the designated streets for
parking). School-based staff who work in more than one school will be
issued permits for each of the schools that they work. Note that there
will not be an increase in the number of parking spaces available at school
sites as a result of the issuance of DOE parking permits. Therefore, parking
spaces will be available on a first come, first served basis for both DOT and
DOE parking permits.
Permits will be distributed from
the Principal’s Office (Room 819) between the hours of 8:30 AM and 12:00
PM. In order to obtain a parking permit, each staff member must provide
copies of a valid automobile registration and driver’s license to Ms. Ianniello
in Room 819.
If you have any questions or
concerns, please feel free to contact either Mr. Tallone at Ext. 2012 or Ms.
Ianniello at Ext. 8191.
Things
to Remember:
□ Permits are only valid until November 2017
□ Do not laminate permits
□ You must submit copies of your Driver’s license and Car
registration along with your license plate number at the time of pick up. Registration must be in your name.
□ Only one permit per staff member.
□ Lost permits must be reported immediately and you will receive
replacement from the NYC DOE which will take some time.
□ Park only in the area designated on the permit.
□ The DOE will not be responsible for any parking tickets or tows.
□ Having a permit does not guarantee a parking space. Parking is on a first come, first serve
basis.

Our graduation will take place on
Tuesday, June 27 at 3pm at the United Palace (Manhattan – 175th

school day and the day before the last day of school. We will need some teachers to be at school
for the limited number of students that will probably be in attendance. Staff can also decide to attend graduation
that will include help setting up beginning at 2pm. All staff – please fill out this survey to

We're almost at the
finish line, but we are not done yet! Thank you to all those who have
participated in IEP meetings, as well as completed teacher forms. As previously
mentioned, we have pushed up IEP meetings in order to ensure correct

□ There
will be Confirmation Sheets for May in your mailbox by the end of the week
on June 5th
● LOCK YOUR COMPUTERS WHEN YOU LEAVE A ROOM
OR OFFICE
Lock your computers when you leave a classroom of

onto school computers and accessed inappropriate websites. This takes 5 seconds – time well spent for
safety and security purposes.
● SECURE YOUR PERSONAL BELONGINGS &
VALUABLES
Please make sure your personal belongings and
valuables are secure. We will be
touching base with all staff to insure that every staff member has a place to
secure their belongings. We love our
students, but unfortunately we must take these precautions to deter this type
of behavior.
● UNSUPERVISED STUDENTS IN CLASSROOMS &
OFFICES BECOMING A PROBLEM
Under
no circumstances are you to leave students unsupervised in your classroom or
office, or any other space in the building if you are a coach or club/activity
supervisor. Ask students to step out of
this location while you are gone and have them reenter when you return. If anything happens to those students in that
space, you will be held responsible and need to explain why you allowed these
students to be unsupervised.
