CALL
TO ACTION
● ATTEND OUR CTE SHOWCASE THIS WEEK – KLEINFELD BRIDAL PARTNERSHIP
Please
join us for our culminating event as part of our long-standing Kleinfeld Bridal
Industry Partnership Program on Monday, June 10 at 3:45 pm – Kleinfeld’s is
located at 110 W 20th Street (between 6th and 7th
Avenues), New York, NY 10011. The
event is always spectacular – you will be blown away by the designs.
● ATTEND OUR SENIOR AWARDS CEREMONY ON TUESDAY
Please
join us for our Senior Awards on Tuesday, June 11 after school as we celebrate
the top performers of the Class of 2019!
● SIX DAYS OF CLASSES REMAINING - MAKE SURE STUDENTS KNOW WHERE THEY
STAND IN YOUR CLASSES
Make sure your students know that that
student grades are cumulative, meaning that all grades count during a given
term. Grades do not start over with the
third marking period and there are not separate grades for each marking
period. Students must know that third
marking period grades and the grades that go on a student’s final transcript. Communicate with students about where they
stand in your classes and what they need to do to pass if they are in danger of
failing. If a student fails your class,
it should not be a surprise to them or their family members.
● SECURE YOUR VALUABLES
Secure
valuables Over 50% of all thefts within New York City
Public Schools occur when property is left unattended. Everyone is reminded to
protect their belongings by locking it up. All staff members have an obligation
to protect DOE property as well. Report missing items immediately.
● REMINDERS ABOUT REPORTING THREATS
As the
school year draws to a close, we need to continue to respond immediately to
threats, even if they involve students and situations outside of the confines
of our school. Below are important
reminders of what we are looking for and our responsibility to report and
respond to everything.
Be aware
of threats made via:
□ Graffiti on desks or walls,
□ Notes of any type, or
□ Social media postings (Try to
get screen shots of the postings of concern)
□ All potential threats of violence
need to be reported to School Safety Agents and Administration. When
school is closed don’t wait. Call 911 and notify a supervisor
immediately.
Gather
as much information as possible such as,
□ The names of students involved as
witnesses, suspects and potential targets of
threatened violence.
□ Including their contact information
and screen names, and
□ The dates, times and locations of
threatened violence.
□ No matter where it is, if you think
it’s unusual or suspicious, don’t keep it to yourself.
● KEEP GIVING OUT THOSE FASHION DOLLARS
The FLY brand has never been
stronger so keep those Fashion Dollars flowing!
The increased number of staff giving out Fashion Dollars is noted and
much appreciated. Please keep it up –
Positive Reinforcement works!
● DO YOUR PART IN KEEPING THE HALLWAYS CLEAR
HSFI Assistant Principals and Peace
Teachers (formerly known as Deans) are conducting Hallway Sweeps that will
cover every square foot of this building to maintain school climate. The
sweeps will take place Periods 2 through 9. These sweeps are in addition
to the patrols that our security agents execute daily. Here is what you
can do to do your part in maintaining school climate:
□ Please go out into the hallway to welcome students into your
classroom in between classes
□ Once the music ends, close your door – do not lock the door -
and begin class promptly. For classes early in the day, please have tasks
/ assignments in place immediately when the music ends to promote students
being on time as part of the Readiness portion of their grades
□ Have a protocol for monitoring student
lateness (ex- Late Book)
□ A Pass is needed to go anywhere outside
of your classroom / specific Falcon Health Center pass
□ No passes first 10 minutes of class
(unless emergency)
□ No passes last 10 minutes of class
(unless emergency)
YOU CANNOT ALLOW A
STUDENT TO STAY IN YOUR CLASSROOM / OFFICE WHEN YOU ARE NOT THERE – ASK THEM TO
LEAVE & COME BACK
Please make sure these actions are
followed to do your part in maintaining school climate while our Assistant
Principals and Peace Teachers sweep the halls and do their part.
HSFI STUDENTS SWEEP PODIUM AT STOCK MARKET GAME
As a school and Social
Studies department, we swept the podium of the Stock Market Game final
standings! Ms. Fraga-Zwibel had two teams have amazing last trading days and as
a result HSFI took the top three spots.
Ms. Fraga-Zwibel’s teams took 1st and 3rd, and Mr. Lazarus’s team of 11th
graders took 2nd overall. Each team had a rate of return above 7%, and the
three teams ran away with it at the end.

POSSIBLE
SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING CLASS AT HSFI – INTRODUCTION / TEACHER INTEREST?
Below is an introduction to the SEL
class that is being considered for next year to build on what we have done with
our partnership with Yale University & RULER – it is called the QUESTion
Project.
Email me if you are interested in
possibly teaching the course next year as one of your preps. There will
be training the last week of August from Tuesday, August 27 to Friday, August
30 on the curriculum – it will be 5 hours per day and you will be paid per
session for attending. If is not a requirement that you attend the
training to teach the class, but obviously it would be helpful.
Please understand that this not set
in stone – the SEL Coordinators and I just had an initial meeting with the
people who created the class. We certainly go any farther in the
conversations / planning unless we knew that we had some teachers excited to
teach the class. Thank you!
INTRODUCTION
The QUESTion Project is a
uniquely-structured semester class in which students address their most
important human questions about who they are, who they wish to become, how they
can shape their lives with meaning and purpose. The curriculum is centered around 5 main units: Choice, Purpose, Fearlessness,
Interconnectedness and Bigger Picture The five units provide the context
for students to reflect on their own identity, agency and sense of purpose,
while examining the challenges they face and the significance of their
lives from a bigger perspective and developing a sense of care and
responsibility for the common good.
Students start their journey by
exploring the nature of Choice so they can connect with their own agency
and sense of possibilities; the next unit,
Purpose, allows them to consider ways they can shape their lives and future
with purpose. They then move to the unit on Fearlessness, where they can
understand the courage it takes to be themselves, stay true to who they are,
and dare to pursue their own dreams. In the unit on Interconnectedness,
they have a chance to consider their relationships with others, their schools,
communities, families, how they can find a way to contribute and be fulfilled.
Lastly they explore a Bigger picture – which creates space for them to
look at their own lives, their future and events in their lives from a bigger
perspective.
The QUESTion Project
methodology and curriculum has been designed and ‘co-created’ with
the input of hundreds of college and high school students. Learning takes place
in a peer-to-peer learning environment, where there are no right or wrong
answers. Students come to their own conclusions, while sharing their thoughts
and listening to others. By doing so they connect with one another on a human
level, through their shared experiences and develop a natural care and empathy
for each other – transcending boundaries of race, gender and ethnicity.
The role of the QUESTion Class
Teachers is create a space for students to learn from each other and to immerse
themselves in this exciting journey together with the students. The teachers will
be supported by a very structured and detailed curriculum and will receive
all the training and ongoing professional development they need to
facilitate this class. We have seen great results with schools and students of
a similar social economic background and are thrilled to consider this program
for our school, as a great addition to the already amazing work we are
all doing in our school around SEL!

UPDATED
PARENT CONTACT LIST
Here is the most updated spreadsheet for students’ contact information. The spreadsheet has three different tabs of contact
information;
1) Primary phone
2) Email
3) Cell phone number
This list will be updated each week through our School Messenger
system. If you have trouble contacting a parent or have additional contact information,
please reach out to Assistant Principal Danielle Silva at DSilva@hsfi.us
Here is the link to the spreadsheet:
STUDENT ACTIVITIES
□ 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.
IMPORTANT
INSTRUCTIONAL REMINDERS
● OUR INSTRUCTIONAL FOCUS FOR 2018-19 & BEYOND
□ Every student feels
cared for
□ Every student feels
challenged
● HSFI STUDENT DASHBOARD UPDATES FROM MR. STAMPONE
Some
more updates have been rolled out the HSFI Student Dashboard
including a tweaked design change and some additional features
Remember
that the dashboard is only accessible on the school network. It is hosted
internally for data security reasons.
□ Find
your particular students by visiting http://hsfiintranet/studentdash/teachers/
and finding your name. Note: Co-teacher pairs appear separately.
□ When
you click into your page (for example, http://hsfiintranet/studentdash/teachers/stamponed.html),
you'll find a table at the top that subdivides the list by course/section
□ Catch
a preview of a tool being developed for students to check in with their
progress to graduation. Here's an example for a current junior: http://hsfiintranet/studentdash/grad_tracker/221228661.html
□ Student
daily attendance by period: On an individual student's page you can get a
summary of their attendance numbers by course/section. There's a beta version
column trying to measure how often that student is in school but did not attend
your period. Note: It is not yet accurate for classes that meet every other day
or for classes with a start date later than the first day of school.
● SPRING MARKING PERIODS
□ 3rd
Marking Period ends Monday, June 17
● SPECIAL EDUCATION REMINDER – CHAPTER 408 BINDER SIGNING
If you have not
already done so, please come to room 329 and sign the Chapter 408 binder.
● ANNUALIZATION GRADING POLICY CHANGES BY THE NYC DOE
The NYC Department of Education policy
towards annualization has changed from last year.
□ Last
year, if a student failed semester 1 of an annualized class, but passed
semester 2, the student was given a grade of P for the 1st semester class on
their transcript.
□ This
year, that policy is no longer in place. This came from NYCDOE academic
policy last spring. So we're annualized in terms of curriculum and
students, but not on an annualized grading model.
This means that students will have to make up the failed class
through SOARR Academy or through Summer School.
● PARENT ENGAGEMENT RESPONSIBILITIES
Keep in mind the main ways that we maintain high levels of Parent
Engagement:
#1 - Keeping Jupiter up-to-date so that students and parents know
where students stand in your class
#2 – You are contractually required to set aside 1 specific period
set aside for Parent Engagement where you make calls and emails to families of
at-risk students. If a student is
failing, you need to make verbal contact with that family
#3 - Check your DOE Email everyday - Not HSFI email – you should forward
your HSFI emails to your DOE email. If a
parent emails you, they should expect a response in a timely manner
● IMPORTANT HOMEWORK REMINDERS
#1 – Please follow our policy of ‘No New HW Wednesdays’
#2 – Do not give a HW assignment unless you will be giving
meaningful feedback back to students – a check or score at the top of a paper
does not mean much to students. This is
especially true for honors and Advanced Placement courses where the amount and
difficulty of readings and assignments is high
● GUIDELINES TO MAINTAIN SCHOOL CLIMATE
□
Pass needed to go anywhere outside of your classroom / specific Falcon
Health Center pass
□
No passes first 10 minutes of class (unless emergency)
□
No passes last 10 minutes of class (unless emergency)
□
Electronic Equipment for educational purposes allowed / all other
purposes should be a referral / Leave confiscating to supervisors and deans /
NO CHARGING PHONES
WHERE CAN
STUDENTS GO WHEN NOT IN CLASS?
□
Before 1st Period – Cafeteria, Student Computer Lab (Room
201), Hallways
□
Once Period 1 begins – students cannot be in the hallways – can go to the
Cafeteria, Student Computer Lab, Classroom under teacher supervision
□
Lunch Periods (4-7) – Cafeteria, Student Lounge, Library (except 7th
period), Student Computer Lab, Classroom under teacher supervision
□
Students waiting for afterschool activities - Student Computer Lab,
Library, Classroom under teacher supervision
YOU CANNOT ALLOW A STUDENT TO STAY IN YOUR CLASSROOM / OFFICE WHEN YOU
ARE NOT THERE – ASK THEM TO LEAVE & COME BACK

building – a classroom or office, the Auditorium or Cafeteria – if you have to
leave a particular area, ask the students to leave with you.
● PROTOCOLS FOR RESPONDING TO CLASSROOM
INCIDENTS
In the event of an incident in your classroom that creates
disruption (student is defiant and / or uncooperative) but is NOT A THREAT
to student and/or staff safety, the following protocol should be followed:
□ Classroom management, i.e.,
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.

Ethnocentrism:
(n) belief in the superiority of one's own ethnic group. “Ethnocentrism is at
the root of racism because it allows one faction of people to believe it is
superior to another faction.” If you are guided by ethnocentrism, you will
always find fault with people who are not members of your ethnic group.

Diaspora: (n) the dispersion
or scattering of something originally localized such as a people or culture.
Diaspora originates from an ancient Greek word meaning to scatter about. The
people of a diaspora (by force or voluntarily) scatter from their homeland to
places across the globe, spreading their culture as they go.
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
