CALL
TO ACTION
● SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING & FASHION DOLLARS EXPECTATION
The time and effort spent on connecting
with students on a social emotional level and reinforcing positive behavior
with Fashion Dollars is well worth it – my expectation is that this is done
every day in every class. Fashion Dollars should be
distributed in alignment with our school goals of all HSFI community members
being challenged (Rigorous tasks) and cared for (Social Emotional
Learning). Distributing Fashion Dollars is easy – we have tokens
available in Room 819 and you can use FashionSoarrs.com – if you do not know
how to use FashionSoarrs.com, let your supervisor know immediately and they
will help you logon and navigate. I look
forward to seeing this in action myself and hearing directly from students that
this expectation is being met.
● ENCOURAGE YOUR STUDENTS TO ATTEND THE CLUB FAIR
Please remind your students that
the Club Fair is on Thursday and Friday – encourage all your students to
attend. Those extracurricular activities
are sometimes the highlight of a student’s HS experience.
● LET US KNOW THAT STUDENTS ARE GETTING INVOLVED (OR NOT)
The extracurricular Google form is
setup to monitor student participation – the link is below in the
bulletin. If you oversee an
extracurricular activity, make sure you capture this student participation so
we know who is engaged (or who is not).
● ‘PEACE TEACHERS’ IN THE PEACE OFFICE
Formerly ‘Deans,’ our ‘Peace Officers’
believe that both in connotation and linguistically that term is too
similar to "Police Officer," an association they are determined to
avoid. After some deliberation, they arrived at "Peace Teacher"
that adequately communicates their role as educators and as the keepers
of the peace in the Fashion community.
Thank you to Mr. Corby, Ms. Riviere, Ms. De La Rosa & Mr. Matelus
for their efforts as our ‘Peace Teachers.’

HSFI STUDENT DATA DASHBOARD IS UP & RUNNING
The HSFI Student Dashboard is
now available to use! This is the data dashboard that Mr. Stampone shared
with us on the first day of school at the opening meeting. Accessing the HSFI Student Dashboard can only
be done on a computer connected to the Instructional network within the school.
This is for privacy and security reasons.
To access, visit http://hsfiintranet and you will see a welcome splash page.
Click on the link button for HSFI Student Dashboard.
You will be prompted for a password. The password is welcome.
It is the responsibility of each teacher to ensure they exit the dashboard window if they leave their computer unattended. Our system is FERPA compliant, but only if we all comply with safe data practices.
The information on the dashboard will be updated periodically and new sources of information will be added over time.

● KEEPING TRACK OF STUDENT ACTIVITY / COMMUNICATING WITH
STUDENTS ABOUT SCHOOL ACTIVITIES
In our effort to understand how ALL our students are doing, we
need to know how much students are participating in activities around the
building – this includes:
TUTORING / CLUBS & ACTIVITIES / PSAL SPORTS – PRACTICES &
GAMES / ESL ACADEMY / MAKE-UP LABS / NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY PEER TUTORING / USING
THE COMPUTER LABS
Use this link to keep track of student attendance in these
activities - https://sites.google.com/a/hsfi.us/hsfi-staff-portal/attendance-for-student-activities
Doing this is mandatory if you oversee these
activities and needs to be done every time you meet with students. You
must be signed in to your own hsfi.us account when you do this. Contact
Shannon Kohm with questions at skohm@school.nyc.gov, or ext. 5311
Communication
Please make sure that you communicate with
our students about anything going on in the school – a club meeting, sports
game or program opportunity – you can do this by including it in our Daily
Announcements email / Jupiter message – here is the procedure for submitting
this information:
(1) Go to the HSFI Staff Home page - https://sites.google.com/a/hsfi.us/hsfi-staff-portal/home?pli=1
(2) From there use the Announcement
form link on the left hand side of the page - all announcements should be
requested by 3:00 pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
GRADE LEVEL ASSEMBLIES CONTINUE THIS
WEEK
This week we will have assemblies for our 11th grade
(Tuesday) and 12th grade (Wednesday). The focus of the grade level assemblies will
be on what the High School of Fashion Industries does to reinforce the belief
that ‘Emotions Matter’ at the school and helps our students feel:
CONNECTED & SUPPORTED
CONTENT & BALANCED
ENERGIZED & MOTIVATED
HAPPY & EXCITED
INSPIRED & EMPOWERED
PASSIONATE & PURPOSEFUL
RESPECTED & VALUED
SAFE & COMFORTABLE
These 16 emotions are the core of the HSFI student
Social-Emotional Learning charter and what students want to feel at the school.
The assemblies will give students information on what we have in place to
help students feel these emotions. Here
is the run of show for the assembly along with what emotions are connected to
each part.

● IMPORTANT REMINDERS FROM THE SPECIAL EDUCATION OFFICE
With
the beginning of the year 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. Students who are placed in ICT classes have the
letter at the end of their official (ex-45P) and our Self-contained students
will continue to have the letter at the beginning of their official class.
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. 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.

NEED TO KNOW
● CHECK YOUR DOE & HSFI EMAILS EVERYDAY
● HSFI STAFF HOMEPAGE LINK - https://sites.google.com/a/hsfi.us/hsfi-staff-portal/
● TEACHER'S CHOICE
Make purchases August 1, 2018 - January
13, 2019. Keep receipts for eligible purchases.
Funding same as previous year:
Teachers allocated $250.00
November 30 - Initial distribution of
funds via regular paycheck.
More information available on
DOE Employee Hub.
● DOE PARKING PERMITS
School-based DOE parking permits
expire on November 1. You should inform your CSA, UFT and DC 37 staff to
renew parking permits through the DOE’s parking permit application self-service portal beginning September 17
through October 10 (note that the portal works best in Google Chrome).
The following types of parking permits are available to staff in the above
unions, if there are DOT-designated, on-street parking spaces at their school:
On-Street
(OS) Parking: CSA members
On-Street
General (OSG) Parking: UFT and DC 37 members
Itinerant
On-Street (OSI) Parking: CSA and UFT members
Once your staff submits their renewal
applications through the portal, the DOE will deliver parking permits to your
school on November 1. The DOE parking permits may only be distributed
after you have collected the expired parking permits from your staff. You
should note that On-Street (OS) and On-Street General (OSG) parking permits are
school-specific (i.e., both the OS and OSG parking permits will specify the
school name and the designated streets for
parking); school-based staff who work at more than one school will be
issued an Itinerant On-Street (OSI) permit to be used at assigned schools with
available DOT-designated, street-parking spaces. You should also note that
there will not be an increase in the number of parking spaces available at
school sites as a result of issuing DOE parking permits. Therefore, all
DOT-designated, street-parking spaces will be available on a first-come,
first-served basis.
For questions, email DOEParkingPermits@schools.nyc.gov.
● ANNOUNCEMENTS FROM MS. KLEPACKI & THE
ATTENDANCE OFFICE
□ Teachers please refer to
the laminated attendance reference sheet. Please take a few minutes to
review it. It will clear up some of the error teachers are making.
Hang it up for future reference
□ Please make sure to bubble the top bubble on the attendance
sheets. You must also bubble neatly and dark.

Boards to classrooms, but there are budget constraints. We want to make sure the existing Smart
Boards are working.
● AIR CONDITIONER SURVEY

in your classroom or office, please fill out this brief survey so we know the
condition of the AC(s) – we are fully aware that there are some spaces that

using your skills as an educator to move on from the situation, followed by
□ A phone call to your
Supervisor informing them of the incident and the steps you have taken to
address the matter, followed by
□ A referral to the
Peace Center and/or the Guidance Department via Google Docs., followed by
□ Outreach to parents,
informing them of their child’s misbehavior, and request for family support to
correct the matter.
In the event of an incident in your classroom that involves an immediate
THREAT to student and/or staff safety, the following protocol should be
followed:
□ A phone call to the Peace Center (x1491 or x1431) informing
available staff of the incident and requesting assistance, followed by
□ A phone call to School Safety (x1341) informing them of the
location and nature of the incident and requesting assistance, followed by
□ A call to your Supervisor informing them of the incident and the
steps you have taken to address it.
CONSTRUCTION
PROJECT UPDATE
Unfortunately, there will be a
School Construction Authority project starting in October. Ms. Perez (UFT Chapter Leader) and I attended
a meeting about the project. Scaffolding will start being put up in October. The scaffolding will severely impact the
number of parking spaces in front and in back of the building. The completion of the project will be in
October 2020. Please keep in mind that
the building was built in 1940 and long-term, it is a positive that this work
is being done. Here are the main parts
of the project.
⏮ Remove indicated existing brick and stone masonry, concrete,
structural support, weatherproofing, and accessory items, and replace with new
⏮ Remove indicated materials in the boiler room that bear
asbestos, lead and PCB, and replace with materials that do not contain these
substances
⏮ Replace existing steam vacuum pump, piping, and associated
items, as indicated
⏮ Clean out existing floor drains in the boiler room, and refinish
floor, as indicated
CLASS TRIP REMINDERS
As we start the school year, I wanted to share
with staff the field trip guidelines that we put into place last year.
All of us should plan to adhere to these guidelines – for staff planning the trips
and staff receiving the trip requests. The only exception that we ask of
everyone is to be flexible with last minute trips that are brought to us by our
Advisory Board and industry partners – too often they share with us the details
in a last minute fashion. Thank you in advance for the cooperation!
⏮ Trips must be approved 3 weeks in advance - No trips in January
& June
⏮ A Master Calendar of trips will be posted in the Weekly Bulletin
with a description of the trip and grade level
⏮ Teachers cannot veto student participation on trips, but
students must understand they are responsible for all makeup work / Do not
penalize students for missing class due to a school trip

STAFF MEMBERS WHO SOARR
Thank
you to all the HSFI staff that have been shouting out their colleagues on a
daily basis through Basecamp – it is inspiring to read them and keep them
coming.
Here
are some additional SOARRing staff that are going beyond the call of duty for
HSFI!
Thank
you to MS. NEWPORT, MS. BATTS, MS. CISSE & MS. CHAVEZ for

you to MS. POWELL for working to making field trips accessible to all students.

you to MS. TROTTA for always
going above and beyond in the guidance office.
Thank
you to MR. RUSSELL for setting up the exhibition section at Photoville which

amazing student artists we have here at Fashion.
Thank you to MS. VACCARO for organizing and taking students on their first visit to Viacom for our year-long partnership with Viacom. Also, for starting the Adidas partnership with two very big events.
