WEEKLY BULLETIN for Week Beginning 2.1.21

  

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

 

INVEST TIME IN GETTING TO KNOW YOUR STUDENTS & BUILDING COMMUNITY IN YOUR CLASSROOM

There have been program changes, so many classes are a mix of students you previously had and new students.  You are not going to be able to challenge your new students academically unless they know you cared about and have their best interests at heart.  Use the beginning of the term to get to know these 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.

 

HSFI ‘CHALLENGED’ GOAL – RIGOR & RELEVANCE

 

NEED TO COMBINE RIGOR & FUN

Let’s continue to try and make school fun and social for our students – just like us who might have been cooped up for the past 11 months, our students need to be engaged and enjoy what they are doing.  Our students want to make new friends and reconnect with old friends.  A great lesson of our successful clubs and activities has been fostering ‘Student Choice’ and ‘Student Leadership’ as much as possible.

 


 

HSFI CTE TEACHER OF THE YEAR – CONGRATULATIONS JUNE ARCAMAY

The CTE department voted for HSFI's recipient of the CTE Award recognized by the UFT each year – this year’s winner is June Arcamay.  Her nominating colleagues wrote:

I would like to nominate Ms. ArcaMay for her tireless commitment and contributions to our social media platforms and website. These channels are the windows into our world for potential students and their families and paths of communication for current students and since she has been at its helm we have been praised by many middle school counselors and families! She deserves it!
Her contributions to the overall school community by employing a consistently excellent and professional design style for all of our school’s graphics. This style can be seen in the posters on the walls, posts on Instagram, our school website and the many engaging, entertaining and informative videos she has created for our virtual CTE showcases.

She communicates her professional design style to her students every day in her CTE classes. She constantly seeks to innovate in the way she delivers her lesson content virtually to her students (I know this because we compare notes every week in our focus group meetings) and models to them ways the skills they are learning can be used in the real world - in careers not just in the design field but in many of the industries that rely on employees abilities to creatively problem solve.

 

 

  

NEXT CLUBS & ACTIVITIES DATE IS FEBRUARY 24

I am working on a Spring Calendar to send out soon – due to this Monday being a PD Day, we will have Monday classes next Wednesday so there will be No Clubs & Activities next week / the following week there is no school on Friday, Feb. 12 (Lunar New Year) – we will have Friday classes on that Wednesday so there will be No Clubs & Activities that week.  The next Clubs & Activities date is February 24 – I apologize for not getting you this information earlier.  Please let your students in your clubs and activities know.

 

 

 

 

CLASS ROSTERS ARE SET

Class rosters are on Jupiter as of Sunday morning.  Many thanks to Mr. Stampone for all his efforts in making sure we are all set.  He is sending all teachers rosters this morning.

Here is the message being sent to students and families:

We've improved the process for accessing your schedule and knowing exactly which classes you have on each day of the week.

First, log into Jupiter Grades.

Next, click the menu button in the upper left corner.

Near the bottom of the vertical menu bar, click on "Calendar". This calendar includes school-wide announcements and assignment due dates for your classes. To see your class schedule on a particular day, click on that date. To see the first day of the second semester schedule, click on February 2nd. The list shows the meeting times of your classes on that day.

This semester, you have classes that meet on Mondays and Thursdays and classes that meet on Tuesdays and Fridays. The half credit classes meet one day of the week.

Schedules will be available for students and families to see on Monday.

Teachers will set up Google Classrooms, recurring calendar events, Zoom meetings, etc. over the next few days so make sure you monitor your Jupiter and email accounts.

 

 

 

 

SUPPORTING STUDENTS WITH IEPs

With the beginning of the second semester we want to remind you of how to determine which students in your class have an IEP. 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. You can access your students IEP by logging onto SESIS (https://sesis.nycenet.edu/userlogin.aspx?WorkspaceID=NYCONFIG) with your NYCDOE credentials.

 

PARTICIPATING IN IEP MEETINGS & TEACHER FORMS

We will continue 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 legally mandated participant in meetings and individuals have been selected based on Wednesday schedule availability. Prior to meetings you will also 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. When 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 and content or your class.

 

WEDNESDAY ACTIVITIES & IEP MEETINGS

With our Wednesday clubs taking place, please know you will be invited to IEP meetings during your department PD period(s). There will be some exceptions to this as some of our students only have one general education teacher and the meeting may take place during your club or tutoring. If this occurs, you will receive an email ahead of time to plan for the day and your participation in the meeting.

 

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

 

 

 

 

NYC DOE TEACHER SCHOOL EXPERIENCE SURVEY

The NYC Department of Education has created a School Experience Survey for students, teachers and families.  Here is the below link to the survey if you want to take the survey.  The survey asks you to identify your school – we are listed as ‘The High School of Fashion Industries – 02M600’ – remember the ‘The’ in the name.  Thank you.

MANDATORY WEEKLY COVID-19 IS COMING TO HSFI

To ensure schools remain a safe and healthy place to learn, all schools will have 20% of students and staff tested on a weekly basis. As required by the DOE, the COVID-19 testing consent form is required by the first day you report to the building.  It is advisable that all staff complete this form, regardless if you are remote or otherwise.   

To obtain access to the consent form, click on the hyperlink and scroll down to number 3 where it says ‘Staff Consent’ - Mandatory Weekly COVID-19 Testing

You must log in with you DOE credentials and click the tab that says “consent”.  Unfortunately, the automatic response feature is not activated, so you will not be able to receive a response that the information was collected.  

Failure to comply with this request may lead to the DOE placing you on unpaid leave.  










 

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.

 

 

 

 

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!

IMPORTANCE OF CONFIDENTIALTY

Breaches of confidentiality are taken very seriously by the New York City Department of Education. Unauthorized disclosures of student information must be documented and may result in HSFI being in non-compliance with federal, NYS, and NYC regulations and policies. Outside of staff within our school who have legitimate educational interests in the student, the following information should not be shared with any third party:

(1) Any medical records or information you may have access to, including any disability or accommodation related to learning or otherwise.

(2) Disciplinary records

(3) Any information from a student's education record (without permission from the parent or student)

 

 

 

 

IMPORTANT MANDATED REPORTING PROCEDURES – PLEASE READ OVER

In the event that any staff member receives an email or receives information on a school program used for messaging students i.e. Jupiter, Google meets, gmail.. or while remote conferencing, from a student which indicates that the student is in crisis (e.g. alleged child abuse/neglect, suicidal ideation, self- harm), please follow these steps: 

#1 - Before any session, ensure you check any means for student contact information to make sure you have updated parent / guardian / emergency contact information. 

#2 - Call 911 to report a SUICIDAL IDEATION immediately and provide the police with student information (make sure the student is not left alone during this time) INFORM MR RASCHILLA AND YOUR DIRECT SUPERVISOR IMMEDIATELY. 

#3 - As soon as possible, call and email your administrator(s), copy that student's Guidance Counselor. 

#4 - In the case YOU SUSPECT alleged child abuse/neglect, you must call the Mandated Reporter Hotline (800-635-1522) to report the alleged incident. Ask for the name of the person that you are speaking with and the case ID number, MAKE RECORD OF THIS. 

Any questions, you can also call ACS Safety First (718- KID-SAFE) 543-7233. 

#5 - Upon completing the above steps, you must send a brief informational email to your administrator(s). 

#6 - If a report for child abuse is called, the following required form would need to be completed and it can be downloaded at the link below: https://ocfs.ny.gov/main/Forms/cps/LDSS-2221A.docx

#7 - The form should be completed electronically and emailed to your administrator(s) and borough field support representative(s) for ACS * Guidance can assist with this.

PLEASE REMEMBER, YOU ARE ALL MANDATED REPORTERS DESPITE NOT BEING PHYSICALLY IN THE BUILDING. 

Chancellor Regulation A-750 - Child Abuse and Maltreatment Prevention https://www.schools.nyc.gov/docs/default-source/default-document-library/a-750-9-28-2017-final-remediated- wcag2-0

Chancellor Regulation A-755 - Suicide Prevention / Intervention

https://www.schools.nyc.gov/docs/default-source/default-document-library/a-755-english

 

 

 

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.

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. Permits are prepared by Angela Ianniello, Secretary to the Principal.

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.

 

 

 

 

NEW PER SESSION INFORMATION FOR STAFF

Except for the use time cards, all other DOE Per Session regulations are still in effect and including the following:

□ Staff must apply for per session postings as soon as possible.

□ Staff must send per session time sheets to the per session supervisor and not to Mrs. Herzog or Mr. Tallone.

□ All time sheets must be filled out correctly and must be signed by both the staff member and the supervisor.

□ Signature style fonts are NOT valid signatures. It must be a real signature.

□ Until further notice, all staffs regular time schedule is listed below and is based on their title. Any per session activity must be done outside of these hours.

Teacher- 8:55 am to 3:45 pm

Guidance Counselor- 8am to 3:15pm

Secretary- 8 am to 3:20 pm

Supervisors-8am to 4pm

Beginning in January, time sheets will be sent to staff for use and will be the only acceptable sheet. These time sheets will have the correct information on them. Do not use time sheets from previous years.

 

 

 

 

NON-CHARGEABLE TIME FOR GETTING THE VACCINATION

During work hours, staff are entitled up to two hours in each instance for administration of each vaccine.

Documentation including date and time is required.  Time beyond that will be charged against sick time.  

 

 

 

W-2 FORMS AVAILABLE ELECTRONICALLY

Electronic W-2 forms can now be accessed/printed from NYCAPS/ESS. 

Paper forms will be mailed by the DOE to address on record. 

 

 

 

 

EMERGENCY CONTACT INFORMATION

Even if you have provided emergency contact information at HSFI, DOE strongly suggests entering this information in NYCAPS ESS as well.  After logging in, click "Personal Details" and then "Emergency Contacts."  

 

 

 

 

OPERATIONAL NEED TO KNOW

 

EXTERIOR CONSTRUCTION PROJECT RESUMES WORK

The Exterior Construction Project has resumed work. On the 24th Street side, they will begin pointing on the 9th floor. On the 25th Street side, they will continue to build the scaffolding. Please make certain to shut the windows and security valuables before you leave for the day.

 

CALLING IN AN ABSENCE

Staffing is always a concern. This is a reminder of our preferred procedure for calling in an absence is:

□ Send an email to your supervisor with date(s) / Copy Linda Herzog and Assistant Principal J. Tallone on the email

□ State Reason For absence

 

UPDATING STAFF RECORDS

We are always updating our staff contact records and ask that you take the time to share the details of any changes (telephone, address), with your immediate supervisor and Linda Herzog

 

CHECK YOUR DOE & HSFI EMAILS EVERYDAY

The expectation is that ALL STAFF check your DOE emails daily – not your HSFI email - responsible for follow-up items sent to your email

BEST PRACTICE: Forward your HSFI emails to your DOE email
