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
● KEEP THE REFERRALS COMING
Once a student starts heading in
the wrong direction, how hard it is to reverse that trend. If you notice a student heading the wrong
way, connect with the student, reach out to the family and fill out a referral
to let the school know what is going on.
HSFI ‘CHALLENGED’
GOAL – RIGOR & RELEVANCE
● ONE WEEK LEFT IN THE FALL TERM
We are in the homestretch of the Fall term with
two weeks of classes until Regents. Make
sure students understand that the grades they receive at the end of January are
the grades that colleges and universities will see. Encourage students to take advantage of staff
tutoring and tutoring from our National Honor Society students.
SING PERFORMANCES ON THIS THURSDAY & FRIDAY, JANUARY 16 &
17
Our SING performances
coordinated by Ms. Vega are coming up soon and it would be great to get a big
crowd to support the performing arts at HSFI.
There will be two performances:
□ Thursday, January 16th at 4:30 pm
□ Friday, January 17th at 7:00 pm
FOR HSFI TEACHERS – PERCEPTION SURVEY DEADLINE THIS WEDNESDAY
Teachers have until this Wednesday, January 15, 2020, to
administer the 2020 NYC Perception Survey. The goal of the 2020 Student
Perception Survey is to provide teachers with students’ feedback about their
classroom experiences. This survey is NOT used as an evaluation measure for
teacher performance.
Survey Administration Instructions:
1) Distribute all surveys in the class. Confirm that the top of
each survey includes the teacher's name.
2) Distribute 1 envelope per student. Students will place their
survey in the envelope and seal it when they have completed the
survey.
2) All class envelopes should be collected and bond together with
the provided rubberband.
3) All completed surveys should be delivered to Room 125, Main
Office by no later than 3 pm on January 15.
4) Pencil is recommended but surveys can also be done in blue or
black ink.
** A script and additional directed are provided along with
the survey.
There are some guidelines to keep in mind while administering the
NYC 2020 Perception survey to your class:

ONLINE ORDERING OF HSFI FAB GEAR NOW AVAILABLE
All members of the HSFI community
will now be able to order HSFI FAB t-shirts, hoodies, sweatpants, shorts and
leggings online. Our school’s webstore
address is www.SmoothUSA.com/HSFI.
The way this online ordering will
work is that there will be “ordering windows.”
The first ordering window is until January 23 – all orders placed by
this date will be delivered to your home by February 12. If this online ordering system is successful,
we plan to have additional ordering windows – this might be the last ordering
window until the summer.
Sample sizes are in the FLY school
store in Room 123 if you want to try on to see what size you want to order.
We hope that this online ordering
is something that is helpful to the needs of the HSFI community!

ATTENDANCE
FOR STUDENT ACTIVITIES
Teachers
are responsible for recording all student attendance at extracurricular
activities such as clubs, tutoring etc.
Please
note, we have changed the process for recording students’ attendance. You
will now use the data dashboard to record student attendance (Teacher
Tools-->Student Activity Attendance). Students will no longer be
individually logging in for activities.
Best
Practices:
A
hard copy/back up of student signatures is not required, but may be helpful.
When
logging student attendance through the Data Dashboard, teachers should click
"submit" once at the conclusion of the activity to avoid multiple
submissions.
Contact
Shannon Kohm with questions at skohm@school.nyc.gov,
or ext. 5151
IMPORTANT
INSTRUCTIONAL REMINDERS
● OUR INSTRUCTIONAL FOCUS FOR 2019-20 & BEYOND
□ Every student feels
cared for
□ Every student feels
challenged
● PROFESSIONAL LEARNING COMMUNITIES INTERVISITATIONS
Please
enter your PLC Intervisitation notes no later than January 31st through this
Google Form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeQTyhtTyGd8hEk3n-ZhkQwIOLJmDDQMbHcuwt2rdOTfSdrYw/viewform?usp=sf_link
● PSAT / SAT DAY IN MARCH IS NOW A NON-INSTRUCTIONAL DAY
Wednesday,
March 4 which is PSAT/SAT Day is now a non-instructional day – 9th
and 12th graders will not be required to come to school – just 10th
and 11th graders who are taking the exams will be in attendance.
● IMPORTANT INFORMATION TO SUPPORT OUR STUDENTS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS
We in
room 329 would like to provide you with some new and exciting updates regarding
accessing information for SWD. Within the HSFI Dashboard SWD have a blue
circular icon next to their name. When you select this icon, it will direct you
to SESIS where you an access your students IEP and important information about
the way they learn. In addition, 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. The information you are required to complete on the teacher 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. Thank you in advance for participating in meetings! 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).
If you have not already done so, please come to room 329 and sign the Chapter 408 binder As always, feel free to reach out to Ms. McGuinness (ex. 3289) with any questions you may have regarding Special Education and services. Thank you for your continued support of our students

● MARKING PERIOD DATES / GRADING POLICY REQUIREMENTS FOR # OF
ASSIGNMENTS
□ 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.
● 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
DATA
DASHBOARD CORNER
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/
Keep teachers and counselors in the
know about a particular student by logging teacher notes. Teacher notes are
viewable on your dashboard homepage and a full list under Students ->
Teacher Notes https://hsfi-data-dashboard.herokuapp.com/teachernotes This is a great place to drop
in any parent engagement you might have done that other staff members would
benefit from knowing. On an individual student's page you could download all
the teacher notes written about them which could make for a great log of
assistance/outreach if needed. Write some teacher notes today because knowledge
is power
The attendance form for student activities has transitioned from Google Forms to the Data Dashboard. You'll find the electronic attendance sheet under Teacher Tools -> Student Activity Attendance https://hsfi-data-dashboard.herokuapp.com/afterschool Submit this form just once at the end of your activity and select all the names of all the students that attended. Each submission will create a digital record of the attendance sheet which makes for documentation for Per Session as well as inserts the activities and dates into each student's dashboard page. You can see what a student has participated in by scrolling down to Student After School Activities. Looking forward to seeing just how involved our students are! If there are any after school activities that were left out in error from this initial list, please let Mr. Stampone know.
As always, if you have any questions, comments, concerns or suggestions for the dashboard, please contact Mr. Stampone (dstampone@hsfi.us) with your feedback.

IMPORTANT MESSAGES FROM
MS. KLEPACKI & THE ATTENDANCE OFFICE
□ There are 734 Confirmation Sheets. Please check
your attendance records. Fill them out and return them by Tuesday,
January 14.
□ STOP HOARDING Attendance Sheets. Ms. Klepacki cannot
do her job completely if staff does not hand in attendance sheets on
time. Many staff are still handing in December attendance sheets.
This holds up the whole process. Attendance sheets should be handed in everyday
at the end of the day.
□ MAIL- DO NOT USE THE BIG OP ENVELOPES to mail
papers. This envelope does not fit in the mailbox. Ms. Klepacki does
not go to the post office – she deposits all mail in the mailbox by CVS.
Thank you!

VTODs
FOR THE WEEK
JANUARY
- Week 3 / Aug/aux/ aux: increase, enlarge
Monday,
January 13
Augment (v) enlarge, increase; grow,
intensify. During World War II, Americans were urged to plant produce to
augment rationed food and help the war effort. Augmented reality, often
abbreviated to AR, refers to a combination of real and virtual
(computer-generated) worlds.
Tuesday,
January 14
Auxiliary
(adj.) furnishing
added support; The hospital has an auxiliary power supply in case of a power
failure. His brakes are magnetic, with
auxiliary handbrakes.
Wednesday
January 15
Auction (n) The public sale of something
to the highest bidder. This year, a Monet painting sold for 110 million dollars
at auction. The auctioneer said there was a "flurry" of bids when the
auction started but interest died down as the price increased.
Thursday,
January 16
August (adj.) pronounced (ô-gŭst’)
profoundly honored; revered, venerable. Not only was she the first woman to
enter that august company but, at 41, she is also one of the country's youngest
judges. The gala raises money for the Costume Institute, an august institution.
Friday,
January 17
Inaugural (adj.) marking a beginning: first
in a projected series. The two friends attended the inaugural event in the
city's weeklong festival honoring the sailing ships. (n) Many considered it a good omen when the
drenching rain stopped, and the sun suddenly appeared as President Lincoln gave
his second inaugural.
