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

 

MAY IS ASIAN AMERICAN & PACIFIC ISLANDER HERITAGE MONTH / RECOGNIZE & CELEBRATE THIS IN YOUR CLASSROOMS & OFFICES

May is Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month recognizing the contributions and influence of Asian Americans and Pacific Islander Americans to the history, culture, and achievements of the United States.

We look forward to celebrating the contributions of Asian Americans and Pacific Islander Americans to our nation.  We are working on getting you some resources to use to celebrate Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month.

 

HONORING COLLEGE DECISION DAY / WEAR COLLEGE GEAR

HSFI Student Government wants to honor College Decision Day (May 1) by asking all staff and students to represent their college on Monday, May 3, and Tuesday, May 4.  If you are an in person staff member please wear some college gear (shirt, sweatshirt, hat) on the day you come into the building.  Everyone else can represent virtually on Monday. 

 

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.
