CALL
TO ACTION
● CHANGES TO THE LATENESS PLAN
If you teach a first or second period class,
please continue to stress the importance of getting to school on time. Here are some important changes to our
Lateness Plan that will go into effect on Monday, November 13, to minimize the
loss of instruction for students who are not habitually late:
□ Students who are NOT habitually late (defined as having been late
5 or more times) can enter school late and be allowed to go to class up to 8:30
am (1st period) / 9:20 pm (2nd period) – they will be
signed in and be given a pass to go to class
□ All Students, habitually late or Not, will NOT be allowed to go to
class up after 8:30 am (1st) / 9:20 pm (2nd) – entering
class at this point is too much of a disruption to class
□ Habitually late students will be kept in the Auditorium for
guidance counselor follow-up regardless of when they arrive late
● HSFI GOAL OF ‘EVERY STUDENT FEELING CARED FOR’
In order to achieve this goal of
having every student feeling cared for, it is important to use a specific SEL strategy
every time you see your students – this is time well invested to let your
students know you are looking out for them – once you make this connection,
your students will be more apt to go with you on the content of the lesson. A nice touch to show your care is to be in the
hallways during passing and greet your students at the door
□ Our SEL
Coordinators - Kelly Molloy (Conaghan), Chelsea Stambouly, Lexi Parisse and Amanda
Padron – will be running our first HSFI Staff SEL committee meeting this
Wednesday, November 15 during Period 6. We
would love to have teachers and staff from all departments represented. If you are interested in joining, please
email or touch base with one of the SEL Coordinators.
□ Visitors from Mexico accompanied by Yale University staff will be
at HSFI on Monday, November 13, to see how we are incorporating SEL into our
community
□ Thank you to all of you that signed our
Social Emotional Learning Staff Charter and took the brief, anonymous and
confidential School Climate survey to help us understand our school
environment. If you have not had a
chance to complete the survey, please take a couple of minutes to do so
– this is for all staff of all titles and job responsibilities.

THE ANSWER IS IN THE ROOM
Here are some
highlights of the best practices shared
by HSFI Staff Members. This round focuses on differentiation/scaffolding
strategies in the classroom:
In the English
Department Ms. Adamczyk and Ms. Heney created a scaffolded activity to support
their 11th grade ICT students as they prepare for the English Regents.
First they broke down the central idea essay for them step by step, and then
they modeled how to annotate for central idea/writing strategies. They
provided three model examples of annotation, one for the high level students,
one for the middle level student, and one for the struggling students.
In the Math department, Ms. Dye and
Ms. LaTanza provided students a checklist of steps to help students master
rotations off the coordinate plane. The lesson also incorporates the appositives TWR
skill, and in class students were provided with plastic tracing paper and dry
erase markers to assist in modeling the rotation before defining the center of
rotation and angle.
If you would like to
see all of the activities compiled from last year, as well as the weekly
additions, you can check out the shared Google Folder via the link below.
*If any staff member
would like to share a lesson, activity, or best practice,
send it to Ms. Paz at spaz@hsfi.us or Mr. Kearns
at kkearns@hsfi.us
IMPORTANT
INSTRUCTIONAL REMINDERS
● OUR INSTRUCTIONAL FOCUS FOR 2017-18 & BEYOND
□ Every student feels cared
for
□ Every student feels
challenged
● INTERVISITATIONS WITH OTHER HIGH SCHOOLS CONTINUE
Our collaboration with other schools continue this
Thursday, November
16 when staff members from NYC Lab School, Bard Early College High School and
High School of Language and Diplomacy will visit HSFI classes and teacher teams
and give us their feedback.
● CHANGES TO THE OBSERVATION CYCLES
For our second observation cycle, here are the
important dates:
□ Week of November 27 – Formative Observations
□ Week of December 4 – Formative Observations
□ Week of December 11 – Intervisitations / No
Observations
□ Week of December 18 – Evaluative Observations
□ Week of January 2 – Evaluative Observations
□ Week of January 9 – End of Evaluation Cycle #2
● DO NOT USE OTHER CLASSES FOR TESTING MAKE-UPS
Teachers are having students take
tests during Physical Education classes; this should not happen. Do not have students take make-up exams
during other classes.
● SPECIAL EDUCATION INFORMATION
With
the beginning of the new marking period we in room 329 wanted to provide
everyone with a reminder regarding students with IEPs and SESIS as well as the
sections of the IEP which you may find most helpful when planning your
instruction. While reviewing the IEP you may notice your Teacher Form responses
or information you shared during the meeting- this is a great example of how
your insight helps us to create an authentic, student specific IEP. 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. Students within our D75 Inclusion Program will have an L as
the first letter of their official class and at this time will not appear when
you log-in to SESIS. We are working to gain access for those who need it. In
the interim you are invited to stop by 329 to speak with Ms. Smith-Brown and
review a hard copy of their IEP(s). This year we will continue to distribute an
electronic standards-based Teachers Form. The information you are required to
complete on this form is 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. Our monthly SIT meeting addresses
concerns surrounding Special Education (placement, initials, etc.) and is
announced in advance in the Weekly Notes. All are welcome and encouraged to
attend and if you are interested in becoming a regular member just let me know.
Please feel free to stop by room 329 if you have any questions and thank you
for your continued support of our students
Our SIT Meeting will take place Friday, November 17 during 8th period in room 329; all are invited to attend.

around the nucleus of an atom, are what allow one atom to interact with other

Silhouette: (n) 1.The shape of a piece of
clothing. In the 1920’s, designer Coco Chanel introduced the flapper style, a

in 2003 displayed black silhouettes of people listening to white iPods and
dancing in front of radiant green, yellow, and pink backgrounds.
