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.
Call
To Action #1 – CATCH UP TIME STARTING THIS THURSDAY 12/10 / MARKING PERIOD ENDS
NEXT TUESDAY 12/15
We are giving students time to catch up on their work with No New
Assignments on Thursday (12/10), Friday (12/11), Monday (12/14) and Tuesday
(12/15). The second marking period ends
on Tuesday with this last day of no new work.
Classes will meet as usual and students are to be given the time to make
up work. Students who have no work to
make up should be given new work for enrichment / students with failing grades
/ NXs should be given the opportunity to do that work. This is also a great time for teachers to
conference with students letting them know where they stand in the class.
Call
To Action #2 – VALUABLE STUDENT WELL-BEING INFORMATION ON THE HSFI DATA
DASHBOARD
As you know from the weekly
bulletins, we recently gave students a ‘Well-Being’ Survey largely based off our
Social Emotional Learning Charter – a large majority of our students completed
the survey and the answers are located front and center on an individual
student’s Data Dashboard page – please go over these responses so you know your
students.

teachers or other adults at school do to better support you?
Call
To Action #3 – BE ON THE LOOK OUT FOR CAMERA BULLYING
It has been reported that students say part of the reason they
won't turn on cameras is that others in the school are taking pictures of them
and posting them with negative comments. Students will use their phone
device to record others in the class, pull out a freeze frame and then make a
meme that disparages the student. Make sure that you make a referral if you
are aware this is taking place.
PROTOCOLS IN AN EVENTUAL RETURN TO SCHOOL
We are still remote while all students up to 5th grade
and all District 75 students are coming back to school this week. Right now, this does not apply to high
schools. When our schools reopen, here
are some actions that the NYC Department of Education has committed to in order
to keep schools open and safe:
Weekly
Testing: All schools will have 20% of students and staff randomly tested
on a weekly basis.
Student Consent: All students in
grades 1 and higher are required to provide consent for testing by their first
scheduled in-person learning day. Families can submit consent using NYC Schools
Account or this consent form attached. Students
who do not submit consent will be transitioned to remote only learning.
Staff Consent: All staff are
required to provide consent by the first day they report to their school
building.
LIFTOFF OF OUR WEDNESDAY SCHEDULE
Thank you once again
for your efforts in getting our Wednesday schedule off the ground – I have received
positive feedback from you and students during this past Friday’s town hall.
ACTIVITY SURVEY
If you oversee an
activity and have not already done so, please complete this Google Form to get
some feedback back to us about how everything went including the number of
students that attended your club/activity – the form includes a part for you to
share any highlights or challenges you had during the activity.
Here is the link to the
Google Form: https://forms.gle/RcALwFNwSGdDdYJ76
STUDENT SIGN-UPS
Here is the link to the Google
Sheet with student sign-ups - here - the Period tabs are in
chronological order of sign up if you need to know that specific
information. I reminded students in a message today that club/activity
spots were done on a first come, first serve basis.
If students end up switching to
another activity, particularly if it's a pre-set roster activity, all you
need to do as the club facilitator is to drop the student from the
extra-curricular activity in Jupiter. There is no need to contact us to do any
programming changes since we're not running this via STARS.
Based on your responses to the Google Form and
possible spots available in clubs/activities, we will figure out next steps
concerning students that did not sign-up or want to change into other
clubs/activities.
ENCOURAGE
USE OF MICROSOFT TEAMS TO INCREASE STUDENT PARTICIPATION
A good problem has
developed with the sign-ups to many of our clubs and activities going beyond
the maximum number of participants on Zoom and Google Meets – one solution is
that you can use Microsoft Teams which you have access to through your NYC
DOE Outlook 365 accounts. We believe that you can invite up to
300 participants using Microsoft Teams. I am encouraging you to use
Microsoft Teams if your sign-ups go beyond 100 participants. There is
nothing we can do for sign-ups that go beyond 300+. Attached to the
‘Weekly Bulletin’ email is the Microsoft Teams guide created by the HSFI
Technology Team.

SUCCESSFUL 9TH
GRADE BUDDY PROGRAM REPORT
One of the biggest challenges of the school year has been transitioning
our 9th graders into HSFI when most of them have never been in HSFI
and have not had the chance to meet their classmates in person. Our Buddy
Pods system has tried to help this transition by having upper class students
mentor our incoming students. We had great success this past Wednesday
with 150 joining in – please read the text below from Ms. Molloy and Ms.
Parisse about what is taking place in our Buddy Pods – we need you to encourage
our remaining 9th graders to be part of this effective transition
tool. Thank you and enjoy what transpired on Wednesday:
This
Wednesday was our 3rd Buddy Program meeting, and it went fantastic! This year
we ran the program a bit differently. We created “buddy pods” that all were
given their own Greek letter. These pods include 4-6 mentors and 10-20
freshmen. We felt by making pods rather than one-on-one buddies, it would allow
for students to have the opportunity to not only have more mentors but meet
their fellow classmates in a non-classroom environment. All pods have their own
google meet where Ms. Molloy and I (Ms. Parisse) pop in from time to time to
check on them. This allows the students time to talk without a teacher present.
We thought it not only gives the students an opportunity for more honest
conversation but brings the hallway chatter to them virtually.
This week
we had 150 freshmen join! That is a third of the freshmen class! If you teach
freshmen, please bring it up in class and encourage them to participate.
The mentors
are really taking ownership of the program and we couldn’t be more proud of
them! Every week we ask the mentors to reflect on the week's meeting. We wanted
to share with you what some of them are saying.
□ It was awesome! We had fun talking and able
to make the students feel comfortable with us!
□ It went very well and everyone participated.
□ Our outreach went great. I think we all had
a lot of fun even though we didn't exactly stick straight to the slides. But we
got to know each other very well and it was super chill.
□ I think it went pretty well. There's a good
amount of students that either share out loud or in the chat. We had more
interaction amongst the students last meeting, but I think it just might be the
adjustment to our meeting being so early in the morning. Students also
volunteered to read the slides a lot which was nice, it showed they felt
comfortable enough to speak.
□ It’s was really good today more people are
starting to talk more which made me excited to be a part of
□ Our outreach was great, there were more
people that showed up and I got some cool show recommendations. I am looking
forward to seeing everyone again.
□ It was really fun, we went over time by like
a half hour and we were having really good conversation.
□ The outreach went well, everyone had
something to say and the vibe was nice. It wasn’t awkward, we feel more
comfortable I would say.
□ It went really well! We had a lot of
participation today and everyone found similarities and things they could
relate to amongst themselves.
□ Today went really well, at some point the
freshman took lead of the convo and they got along well and it was great.
□ I loved talking to the freshman and getting
to know them and finding similarities between us
□ It’s a very comfortable way to make new
friends and talk about fun things.
□ I like the buddy pods because I get to meet
new friends and help freshmen find their way.
□ I love to be a mentor a because it’s fun and
you get to explain to the freshman what was like to be a freshman to and things
they don’t have to miss out in
□ Fun and chaotic but hilarious
□ A fun way to get to know ppl and how others
interact.
□ I would say overall the buddy pods are a
good experience. It allows me to step out of my comfort zone and be able to
help freshmen feel more comfortable and less alone during these difficult
times.
□ I would say my experience has been pleasant
and fun. It has been fun meeting the new freshman and answering their question
and overall getting to know everyone in the group.
□ It was interactive, many freshmen were
participating even though it was through chats. It was nice to see their ideas
and just hear how it’s going with them.
As you can see from their responses, students are craving a place to
chat and get to know one another. We are very happy that the buddy pods are
allowing them the opportunity to do so. We hope that you have enjoyed reading
these comments as much as we have!
Here is a link to a 5-minute meditation video for
those that may need it. I know I did!

You can even share it with your students! There are a lot of good ones
on YouTube.

DATA
DASHBOARD CORNER
Mr. Stampone has done
it again to support all of us at HSFI – he redesigned the Data Dashboard – here
is the new link - https://hsfi-datadashboard-v3.herokuapp.com
Thank you Mr. Stampone – the Data
Dashboard is a game changer for our community.
HSFI’s RACE & EQUITY WORK CONTINUES…
HSFI CULTURAL CONNECTIONS CLASSROOM
We would like to introduce you to
the HSFI Cultural Connections Classroom! On this page you will find
resources to guide your culturally responsive teaching practices. These
resources are a small piece of our overall work and mission to be more
cognizant in our planning as it relates to students and their
experiences. We know many of you also have great resources and this is a
great forum to share those with our HSFI community.
The materials currently uploaded
are aligned to the NYS Culturally Responsive-Sustaining Education (CR-SE)
framework which helps educators create student-centered learning environments
that: affirm racial, linguistic and cultural identities; develop student'
abilities to connect across lines of difference; elevate historically marginalized
voices; prepare students for rigor and independent learning; and empower
students as agents of social change.
The New York State guidelines for
culturally responsive-sustaining education are rooted in a vision of an
education system that fosters:
-Students who experience academic
success
-Students who are socio-politically
conscious and socio-culturally responsive
-Students who have a critical lens
through which they challenge inequitable systems of access, power, and
privilege.
COLLEGE LETTERS OF RECOMMENDATION
Our
Seniors are hard at work on their college applications and may ask you for a
letter of recommendation. You will submit letters in two different ways:
#1
If
students are applying to CUNY Queens College or the Macaulay Honors program at
CUNY, they will request a letter through the CUNY Application portal and you
will get an email from CUNY with information on how to upload your letter.
#2
All
other requests will come through SCOIR. You need to register for an account.
You were sent an email inviting you to SCOIR.
SCOIR
Teacher Overview Video: https://vimeo.com/415356548/b536589846
Note:
If you receive a Common Application request from a student please DO NOT submit
anything through the Common Application, contact Ms. McKeon (kmckeon4@hsfi.us) or the student and advise them to invite you
through SCOIR.
GUIDANCE VIRTUAL WEBSITE
Please
take a look at the Guidance Virtual Website created by Ms. Padron where
students can look up important information and make appointment with their
counselors. Teachers should free to post this on their Google Classrooms to
raise student awareness of this valuable resource:
www.tinyurl.com/hsfiguidancehome
All Students:
Events will be rolling out all month, so make sure to check social media and
daily announcements for exciting activities.
For Teachers:
Alison Kaslow from Partnership with Children is offering “drop-in” services for
your students at the start of your periods. If you’d like to have her provide
your class with a brief 2-5 minute guided meditation send an email request at
pwc@hsfi.us. Please include Class Name, Class Time, Room Number (In-Person),
and/or Link for you virtual class (Remote). If you’re wondering when might be a
good day for one, perhaps consider an exam day when stress is already high!
SOCIAL
EMOTIONAL LEARNING SUPPORTS
We hope that you are doing
well and having a great beginning to the school year. We know that this
year has been full of challenges to say the least. The Social Emotional
Learning team wanted to supply you with some resources to hopefully make
the transition a smoother one. Please as always, feel free to reach out to us
for any questions or support you may need throughout the year. We will keep
passing along any tools that you may find helpful. Wish you all the best!

SUPPORTING
STUDENTS WITH IEPs
We
wanted to provide you with some information regarding how IEP meetings will be
hosted this year and how to identify your students with IEP's. Thank you to
those who have already participated in meetings this school year. We plan to
host IEP meetings on Wednesday, unless parents request another day, via Google
Meet with participants receiving calendar invitations the week before the
meeting. A general education teacher is a mandatory participant in meetings and
individuals have been selected based on Wednesday schedule availability. In
preparing for meetings, you can review your Teacher Form responses in order to
share specific information about the students’ progress as it relates to the
skills in your content and class. Prior to meetings you will receive a Teacher
Form to complete. The teacher form is the foundation of an IEP and clearly
outlines students’ strengths and areas in need of additional support,
especially this school year. Please complete these forms as you receive them as
they help guide the writing of the IEP and meeting. 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. In addition, when logging onto
the Dashboard, students with an IEP' have a blue icon alongside their name
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.
Thank you for your continued support and as always, feel free to reach out to
Ms. McGuinness with any questions you may have regarding Special Education and
services
SUICIDE PREVENTION / INTERVENTION
If you
have knowledge that a student is considering harming themselves (or someone
else) you must report this information to your supervisor, Assistant Principal
Raschilla, or Principal Blank immediately. This directive applies regardless of
whether or not the student has requested that you not share it with anyone. You
cannot maintain assurances of confidentiality with respect to suicidal ideation
and/or intent. Information related to suicidal ideation, intent, or attempts
should be shared with one of the above persons by direct phone contact (do not
leave voicemail) or in-person immediately.
PLEASE DO NOT report this information via email
or voicemail.
Current
circumstances increase the likelihood that information regarding suicidal
ideation and/or intent may be shared virtually. It is crucial when assessing
the risk of suicide in a virtual manner that you determine the location of the
student and if there is anyone else with the student with whom you may speak.
Warning
Signs: Warning signs are behaviors that may signal the presence of suicidal
thinking. These might be considered “cries for help” or “invitations to
intervene.” Warning signs indicate the need to inquire directly about whether the
individual has thoughts of suicide or self-injury immediately.
Common
warning signs include but are not limited to:
□ Statements
such as: “I wish I were dead,” “If such and such doesn’t happen, I will kill
myself,” or “What is the point in living?”
□ Talking
or writing about suicide in text messages, on social media, in chat rooms, in
school assignments, poems, or music lyrics
□ Looking
for a way to attempt suicide, including trying to buy a gun, researching ways
to die, or seeking/buying pills
□ Rapid
shift in mood (e.g., from sullen or depressed to feeling “at peace”) ·
□ Giving
away prized possessions and/or saying final goodbyes
□ Increased
or recent signs of depression or anxiety
□ Making
comments or off-hand remarks that the person feels like a burden
□ Feeling
trapped and unable to see a way out
□ Increased
and/or excessive drug and alcohol use
□ Neglecting
personal appearance
□ A
drop in grades
□ Increased
absences
REPORTING CHILD ABUSE
A
mandated reporter is a person who, because of his or her profession, is legally
required to report any suspicion of child abuse or neglect to the relevant
authorities. These laws are in place to prevent children from being abused and
to end any possible abuse or neglect at the earliest possible stage. New York
State law requires all teachers to report suspected child abuse and neglect to
the state hotline, the New York State Central Register (SCR), directly at
1800.342.3720. If you believe the child is in immediate danger, call 911. If
the SCR believes the report warrants an investigation, the SCR will direct ACS
to begin a child protective investigation. Staff filing reports will be given a
case number that should be shared with their immediate supervisor and Assistant
Principal Giovanni Raschilla. Additionally, individuals reporting a matter to
the SCR should record the name of the representative who took the report.
Important
Facts:
□
Confidentiality: The Social Services Law provides confidentiality for all
sources, including mandated reporters of child abuse and maltreatment reports.
□
Penalties for failure to report: Mandated reporters who fail to report
suspected abuse or neglect can be charged with a crime.
□
Immunity from liability: The Child Protective Service Act states that “any
person, official, or institution participating in good faith in...the making of
a report...pursuant to this title shall have immunity from any liability, civil
or criminal that might otherwise result by reason of such actions.”
□
Malicious and false reporting is against the law
BLOODBORNE PATHOGENS
OSHA’s
Bloodborne Pathogens standard is a federal OSHA regulation (29 CFR 1910.1030)
that prescribes safeguards to protect workers against the health hazards from
exposure to blood and other potentially infectious materials, and to reduce
their risk from this exposure. Example health hazards include but are not
limited to Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, HIV, Malaria, Brucellosis, Syphilis, West
Nile Virus, etc. If you believe you have been exposed to a bloodborne pathogen:
□
Immediately wash hands and other skin surfaces with soap and water.
□ If
the eyes are splashed, irrigate the eyes with large amounts of clean water or
sterile saline.
□ If
the mouth or nose is involved, flush with plain water and/or mouthwash if
available
□
Report the injury to your supervisor and Assistant Principal Giovanni
Raschilla.
□ Seek
medical evaluation / treatment AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, during school hours-if
necessary.
If you
have any questions regarding the Bloodborne Pathogens standard or would like
more information on training, please contact Giovanni Raschilla.
USING TECHNOLOGY REQUEST TO SUPPORT INDIVIDUAL STUDENTS WITH TECH
NEEDS
If you know of a student that is
having technology issues, please use Technology Request Form to tell the tech
team of the issue. Include the student
name, technology issue and importantly, a contact number that the tech team can
reach the student / family.

ENTERING THE BUILDING ON REMOTE DAYS
Permits
are required for staff to enter the building on days when the entire school
community is approved to be remote. Staff members are also asked to share their
intentions to be in the building with their direct supervisor. Please do not
arrive to the building on remote days without a permit in place. We need to
make sure that adequate security is present, and that custodial members are not
deep cleaning the building.
In
keeping with safe building operations, all staff will be required to sign the
visitor's logbook and submit to COVID-19 related entry procedures. Masks
remain required PPE during building entry.
Permits
are prepared by Angela Ianniello, secretary to the Principal. Students are not
permitted in the building on days of remote learning.
SAFETY
& SECURITY IMPORTANT REMINDERS
EVACUATION
DRILLS
Emergencies
may happen that will require us to evacuate the building. It is important that
we practice drills so that we become familiar with the process. Often, the fire
alarm system alerts staff and students to start an evacuation. However, there
may also be times when a public address announcement starts an evacuation.
Announcements over a PA system are repeated twice and begin with “Attention”
followed by specific directions. Students should be asked to form a single
line. In cold weather students should be reminded to take their coats and
personal belongings. Staff members should also remember to take attendance
sheet and assembly card. Attendance is taken before, after, and during a drill.
Lastly, staff members are reminded to report injuries, problems, or missing
student to their immediate supervisor and Giovanni Raschilla. As we leave the
building, staff should seek out Peace teachers and building response team
members wearing bright orange vests to lead them away from the building, past
the scaffold and to the corner of the block. If conditions become crowded,
staff may extend the line around the block. Please view the safety video attached
to this bulletin.

KEEP
SPACES FREE OF HAZARDS
Classrooms,
hallways and other school areas should be kept organized and free of hazards.
Report dangerous situations to Assistant Principal G. Raschilla (graschi@schools.nyc.gov)
and to your immediate supervisor. In an effort to raise fire safety awareness,
please do not place items on radiators.
WHAT
TO DO WHEN AN INCIDENT OCCURS
Incidents
and accidents can happen at any time to anyone, even those who take safety
seriously. When an incident occurs or a hazard presents itself, staff should
report issues quickly and in writing to Assistant Principal G. Raschilla
(graschi@schools.nyc.gov) and their immediate supervisor, to lessen their
effects.
DOOR
ALARMS
With
the exception of the center door, all perimeter doors are locked and alarmed.
In the event that a door alarm is triggered, please alert a member of our
School Safety Team, and Assistant Principal G. Raschilla (graschi@schools.nyc.gov). We also ask that you note the time you happen
to observe the incident, so that we could review the incident.
OPERATIONAL
NEED TO KNOW

January Regents have been cancelled
and there is uncertainty around the June Regents, but the NYC DOE has directed
us to distribute the Testing Handbook to all staff. The handbook was attached to this week’s
‘Weekly Bulletin’ email.
● UNUSED PER SESSION SICK TIME ADDED TO CAR
Unused per session sick
time has been added to staff Cumulative Absence Reserves for FY 19-20 per
session programs. Staff who worked in a
program accrued one hour of sick time for each 20 hours of per session.
● EXTERIOR CONSTRUCTION PROJECT RESUMES WORK
The Exterior
Construction Project has resumed work. On the 24th Street side, they will begin

● 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
