FLY NY SOARRs
We want to congratulate Ms. Damian and her Virtual Enterprise
students for their amazing efforts in the citywide competition that took this
past Friday at the UFT headquarters.
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 and 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.
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. 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
2nd
SET OF PARENT VISITATION DAYS THIS THURSDAY & FRIDAY
Thank you once again for being supportive of our Family Visitation
Days on Thursday, March 5 and Friday, March 6, 2019. During these Family
Visitation Days, HSFI parents will be able to observe their children in
action. We will soon begin to register parents. We will make sure the parents that attend
understand that this is not a day to conference with you and have them go
through an orientation on the behavioral expectations for the day. We will let you know the parents that sign up
for these visits. We understand that you
are voluntarily agreeing to participate in these visits, so THANK YOU! If you do not wish to participate, please
reach out to me directly.
DEPUTY SUPERINTENDENT
VISIT TO HSFI
Our Deputy
Superintendent, Mr. Marc Rush, will be visiting HSFI this Thursday, March 5,
during the morning. Deputy Superintendent Rush will be here to go over
our plan and execution for having all members of our school community feel
cared for and challenged. There will be class visits made by me along
with the Deputy Superintendent. If you are visited, please welcome us and
have a hard copy of your lesson plan available. Thank you in advance for
representing our school so professionally and taking such pride in being part
of the HSFI community.
VOTER
REGISTRATION DRIVE AT HSFI THIS MONDAY
We are excited that to have a Voter
Registration Drive this Monday. Students
can register if they are over 18 years old and students can pre-register to
vote if they are over 16 years old.
Students will need three things to complete the registration:
#1 - The last four digits of your
Social Security number. Students should not bring in their social
security cards.
#2 - Their home address
#3 - An electronic device as
part of the process - if they don't have one, we will provide a
laptop
Please encourage your students to
participate!
PSAT
/ SAT DAY THIS WEDNESDAY
This coming Wednesday March 4th is
SAT/PSAT day. We will be administering SAT exams to 11 graders and
PSAT exams to 10th grade students. The rooms listed below must be test ready by the end of the day on
Tuesday, March 3rd. Test ready means desk must be put in
rows (about 4th apart.) and any instructional material should be either removed
or covered. Listed next to each room is the estimated number of
students. Brown (butcher) paper is available in the main
office. Please let me know if you have questions.

DEVELOPMENT
OF SUMMER BRIDGE PROGRAM TO HELP THE TRANSITION OF OUR INCOMING STUDENTS
We are interested in
developing a Summer Bridge program for our incoming students for next school
year to help them have a smoother transition to high school and our
community. Our initial thoughts were to bring in students for 3 days for
3-4 hours a day during July. We would run this program for 3 separate
weeks so that incoming students could choose one of the three possible weeks to
attend. The below survey asks for your ideas for the program, whether you
would like to help plan the program and whether or not you be interested in
working the program. The survey is completely optional. All
questions on the survey are optional. Thank you! https://forms.gle/Jg8isRFjVQMECgTw5

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
THE WRITING REVOLUTION – IMPORTANT REMINDERS
If you are implementing the program in your classroom, you should have your TWR posters displayed in the front of your classroom as close to eye-level as possible. Use them to model, prompt and remind students when reinforcing skills.
If need replacement posters, they are available in the TWR Resource Library along with all kinds of customizable materials. (If you don't have a log in, you can use User Name: nmoore Password: Fashion1) https://www.thewritingrevolution.org/resources/

IMPORTANT
INSTRUCTIONAL REMINDERS
● OUR INSTRUCTIONAL FOCUS FOR 2019-20 & BEYOND
□ Every student feels
cared for
□ Every student feels
challenged
● 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

● 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.

● CANNOT LEAVE STUDENTS UNATTENDED
You cannot leave students unattended anywhere in the
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.
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
