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

 

● COMMUNICATE WITH YOUR STUDENTS ABOUT THE END OF TERM TIMELINE

Communicate with your students about the timeline for the end of the school year and what is expected of them.  This goes for students who want to get a 95 as well as those students looking to reconcile a NX and get a D.

□ June 1 to June 9 - Makeup week

□ June 4 - Deadline for tentative grades

□ June 10 to June 18 - NX Academy (details to follow)

□ June 18 - Final Grades are Due

□ June 21 to June 25 - Pre-Summer School

□ June 25 - Remaining Grade Changes from NX to Pass due

 

● UTILIZE REFERRALS / TEACHER NOTES / HIGH PRIORITY TEACHER NOTES

We all deal with at-risk students, therefore all teachers and counselors should be utilizing referrals, teacher notes and high priority teacher notes to effectively communicate about these students that will benefit from all HSFI staff knowing what is going on with them.

A Referral is defined as the process to get students additional assistance to resolve an issue.

A Teacher Note is defined as a general update regarding teacher outreach conducted and student progress made.

A High Priority Teacher Note is defined as information that impacts a student's well-being or health that is urgent and important.

 

HSFI ‘CHALLENGED’ GOAL – RIGOR & RELEVANCE

 

● CREATE SAFE SPACES FOR YOUR STUDENTS USING BEST PRACTICES FROM ‘NOT LIGHT, BUT FIRE’

Use the best practices highlighted in the ‘Not Light, But Fire’ book to get to know your students and build community in your classroom.  These safe spaces will be crucial to you being able to challenge students with rigorous content and activities.

 

 

 

 

NEW ITEMS

 

FASHION SHOW 2021 HAS LAUNCHED

The Senior Fashion Showcase opening was tremendous – it is incredible what HSFI students and teachers were able to accomplish!

Follow your Art! A Senior Virtual Reality showcasing Experience. Please Join us on June 11th 2021 at 4PM for a live VR gallery reveal, awards and artist discussions.  Details found at https://www.hsfi.nyc/art2021

 

SCHOOL-WIDE DISCUSSION ON OUR GRADING POLICY

This Thursday, June 3, from 10:30 - 1130 am, all teacher, paras and guidance counselors will participate in an interdepartmental discussion group. We are going to consider each other's thinking and beliefs about grades. We want to begin to craft a shared vision of the purpose of grades before we consider if any changes need to be made in our grading policy to strengthen the relationship between grades and learning for all students. On Tuesday, you'll get a Zoom invite from your group facilitator.

 

 

 

 

NYC DOE SURVEY TIME

It is that time of year again – NYC Department of Education Learning Environment Survey time - we have worked tremendously hard together during these extraordinary circumstances and I would appreciate if you took the time to fill out the survey.

The link to the survey is below, but you must have the unique access code to gain access to the survey – your supervisor will be emailing you this code.

SUMMER SCHOOL 2021 INTEREST?

If you are interested in working Summer School, please take a moment to indicate your initial interest and availability to work summer school.

The general framework to Summer School will include:

□ Run from 7/6-8/13 Mondays through Thursdays with Hours TBD.

□ We will need to offer students a combination of remote and in-person classes (In person classes will take place at Park West HS). The majority of classes will be centered around NX support, however there may also be some full length (45 hour) summer school classes as well.

Again, once we get more guidance on summer, we will connect to work around this framework.

LAUNCH OF ‘LET’S TALK NYC’

In partnership with the DOE, the School of Mental Health Program, the Jed Foundation, and Ogilvy Health, the Mayor’s Office of Community Mental Health has launched “Let’s Talk NYC,” a self-guided online training that prepares all high school staff, regardless of their role, to become mental-health allies.  After completing the “Let’s Talk NYC” training, staff will receive digital and physical badges that will help identify them as adults who will listen to students and support their mental health.  In the fall, all schools will receive posters to hang in their school building to help reinforce “Let’s Talk NYC” messages, by addressing the stigma of mental health issues, encouraging students to share how they are feeling with school staff, and promoting help-seeking behavior.

TAKING STUDENT ATTENDANCE REFRESHER FOR SPRING 2021

In a shift from remote learning in Spring 2020, the DOE has directed schools to collect period attendance through an in-house system and to submit through STARS classroom student attendance (not interactions) via spreadsheet.

These student interactions fall into four categories

□ O - A remote student present online, or an in-person student present in a class remotely.

□ M - A remote student absent online, or an in-person student absent from a class remotely.

□ P - An in-person student physically present in an in-person class at HSFI

□ A - An in-person student absent from an in-person class at HSFI

Due to DOE reporting limitations, only these four marks are available in Jupiter Grades. Utilize the comment feature to indicate if a student arrived late or left early from a scheduled online class. 

Taking accurate and timely attendance is a professional obligation of all faculty with the final responsibility falling on the teacher of record. 

Attendance can be collected as directed by the teacher at the beginning, middle, and end of the period. It can be taken on paper or through other electronic means such as a video conference participation log. 

However the attendance is collected, all teachers must enter their attendance for their classes that school day by 3:45pm into Jupiter Grades. At 3:45pm the programming office downloads all of the attendance marks for that day and uses the Data Dashboard to analyze the data. A file needs to be uploaded by 4pm into STARS classroom to meet the school’s obligation to report daily attendance data to the DOE.

 

 

 

 

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
