CALL
TO ACTION
Every week, I will share with you a
‘Call To Action’ around our school goals that will help drive our work for that
week.
HSFI ‘CARED FOR’
GOAL – RELATIONSHIPS & REALNESS
● STICK TO THE BASICS IN SHOWING CARE FOR YOUR STUDENTS
Greet students at the door; Get to
know student names pronouncing them correctly; Distribute Fashion Dollars aligned to our school goals of
all HSFI community members being Challenged (Rigor & Relevance) and Cared
For (Relationships & Realness) – these actions will go a long way to
students feeling cared for.
● FYI – ANNUAL BUDDY MIXER WAS A HUGE SUCCESS
235 pairs of 9th graders
and upper class students were matched this past Friday at the Buddy Mixer! Our
SEL Coordinators have a list of over 100 upper classmen that still want to be
matched with a freshmen! The remainder
of these matches will be completed through our freshmen Emotions Matter classes
next week to make sure that every freshmen who wants a Buddy has access to
one.
● IMPORTANCE OF EMOTIONS MATTERING AT HSFI
I had this quote in the Call to
Action last week – it is so important that it needs to be included again:
“If a child can do advanced Math,
speak 3 languages, or receive top grades, but can’t manage their emotions,
practice conflict resolution, or handle stress, none of that other stuff is
really going to matter...”
HSFI ‘CHALLENGED’
GOAL – RIGOR & RELEVANCE
● CONTINUE TO INVEST TIME IN GETTING TO KNOW YOUR STUDENTS &
BUILDING COMMUNITY IN YOUR CLASSROOM
You are not going to be able to
challenge your students’ academically unless they know you cared about and have
their best interests at heart. Use the
beginning of the school year to get to know your students and build community
in your classroom – this investment of time and energy will go a long way when
you want to ramp up the rigor with your students. They will follow you anywhere academically
when they know there is that level of care.

Saturday,
October 26th there will be a school dance -- Chaperones needed –
contact Mr. Rau if you can chaperone – Srau@schools.nyc.gov / SRau@hsfi.us
● SIGNING UP TO SUPERVISE
A CLUB / ACTIVITY
The
wide variety of clubs and activities are a great strength of HSFI and for many
students are the highlight of their day.
Many students are interested in
creating clubs that represent the various cultures and sub cultures of the
student body. For example, there is a Feminist Club to support women's
rights/culture and that do extra activities in March during women's history
month. Student Government (SGO) is looking for staff to start other clubs
based on cultures or nationalities to create equity in representation in
throughout school. If you are
interested in supporting this endeavor either come to SGO's next meeting
Tuesday after ninth period or complete the club application
list. You are not limited to creating a culturally based club -- if
you want to a club like cooking we welcome that too.
If you are interested in running a
club, please complete the below Google form at your earliest convenience:
We need this information to plan
for the club fair as well as get a list to all students of available clubs.
As always, club advisors will be
compensated per session for their time and effort! Thank you for doing this!
IMPORTANT
INSTRUCTIONAL REMINDERS
● OUR INSTRUCTIONAL FOCUS FOR 2019-20 & BEYOND
□ Every student feels
cared for
□ Every student feels
challenged
● PROFESSIONAL LEARNING ‘CARED FOR’ SESSION
All
teachers and interested staff should attend a one-period ‘Cared For’ this
Monday – you can attend any session that fits into your schedule – the sessions
are offered periods 2, 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8 in RM 821.
We
will reflect on our ‘What To Do Week One’ plans and read an article that can
provide additional ideas on what to do to
get to know our students, create a safe space and build community in
classrooms.
● IMPORTANT INFORMATION TO SUPPORT OUR STUDENTS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS
● IMPORTANT INFORMATION TO SUPPORT OUR STUDENTS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS
Welcome
back! 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.

● MARKING PERIOD DATES / GRADING POLICY REQUIREMENTS FOR # OF
ASSIGNMENTS
□ Marking Period 1 Ends
October 11 – note that there needs to be ‘One
significant assignment / exam is required within each marking period of the
school year.’
□ Marking Period 2 Ends November 27
□ Marking Period 3 Ends January 17
From the HSFI Grading
Policy:
Examinations,
essays, and semester projects comprise 40% to 60% of the final grade.
A
minimum of four (4) classroom examinations / essays or semester projects are
required for all students in each class during each semester. All examinations will be aligned with the New
York State Next Generation Learning Standards.
The frequency and specific value of examinations are established by
department guidelines and rubrics for all students. One significant assignment / exam is required
within each marking period of the school year.
● JUPITER GRADES ARE UP
Jupiter Grades are
up. Students can log onto their HSFI
emails to get onto their Jupiter Grades.
They have been given these directions, but please remind them,
especially 9th graders who will be logging on for the first
time. Jupiter Grades will be updated
after program changes.
● HSFI STUDENT DASHBOARD UPDATES FROM MR. STAMPONE
We thank Mr. Stampone for all his efforts to get staff all the
student information they need!
The bookmark to the HSFI Student Data Dashboard is: https://hsfi-data-dashboard.herokuapp.com/
The information will be updated throughout the next two weeks to take into account program changes.
Mr. Stampone is very excited to share this with all of you and look forward to your feedback!

Mr. Stampone is very excited to share this with all of you and look forward to your feedback!
● 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.
● 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

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.

SIGNUP FOR NEW PARKING
PERMITS
School-based DOE parking permits will expire on November
1. Staff apply for their parking permits through the DOE’s parking permit
application self-service portal beginning September 16 through
October 9. The following types of parking permits are available to staff
in the above-mentioned unions, provided there are DOT-designated 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 submit their 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 their
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.
CONSTRUCTION PROJECT
LETTER FROM SCHOOL CONSTRUCTION AUTHORITY
Thanks to Ms. Dahill, who is very actively in our
neighborhood’s community board, for sharing with me a letter from the School
Construction Authority regarding the project – here it is:
Dear Parents, Staff and Neighbors of Fashion
Industries High School HS600M;
The New York City School Construction Authority (SCA)
wishes to advise you that a construction project has begun at Fashion
Industries High School on the school’s exterior masonry, parapets and includes
flood elimination. At this time, protective sidewalk scaffolding is being
erected around the school and construction will begin.
Some of the material being replaced contains
non-friable asbestos. This means the asbestos does not easily crumble and
become breathable. The workers who are in actual contact with the asbestos will
be wearing protective suits and respirators.
A licensed asbestos abatement contractor performs the
asbestos removal work, when the school is unoccupied. An environmental
consulting firm manages the abatement work. This work is done under a
Department of Environmental Protection permit. Representatives of the
environmental consulting firm will be on site for the duration of the project
to insure that the contractor adheres to all the proper
regulations. The consultant will also monitor the air in the immediate
area to insure that the removal is taking place properly. Test
results will be made available to the school for all interested parties.
The entire project will be completed in October 2020.
During the school year, regular project work will start after school hours.
During the summer months, work will occur during regular construction hours.
Thank you for your cooperation during this important work at Fashion Industries
High School HS600M. If you have any questions or need further information,
please call me at (718) 752-5226.

fluctuations of our daily online lives.
Wednesday,
September 18
Encrypt: (v) to change information from one

Cryptogenic: (adj.) Cryptogenic refers to
something of obscure or unknown origin and is commonly used to refer to an
