Let’s use the remaining
time we have together to put us in the best position to succeed come
September. You will be engaged in
planning activities around grading policies, the social emotional learning
needs of our students, how best to get us and our students used to being in
school again and how we start to engage students in the content of our
disciplines.

□ Social Emotional Learning - How can we make sure students feel ‘Supported
& Connected’ and ‘Safe & Comfortable?’
□ Academic Readiness - How can we help students ‘Do School?’
□ HSFI - What
makes our school special?
POP-UP
VACCINATION SITE AT HSFI THIS WEDNESDAY, JUNE 23
I have arranged for a Pop-up
Vaccination Site at HSFI this Wednesday, June 23 from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm –
please help me spread the word to our students.
Here are the highlights of the
logistics / FAQs are below:
□ Our students, any of their friends or family member who needs a
vaccine can simply walk into the school and receive the vaccine
□ All minors who are 12 to 15 must be
accompanied to the vaccination site by a parent or guardian, or another adult
caregiver designated by the parent/guardian
□ For
minors 16 or 17 years of age, such consent should be provided either in person
or by phone
□ People who come to the school to get vaccinated will not need to provide proof of immigration status or a social
security number to get vaccinated. ID is only required for proof of age.
□ People who come to the school to get vaccinated do not need health insurance to get vaccinated.
□ The people
giving the vaccine will NOT return to the school for second dose; The people
giving the vaccine WILL direct parents/clients to the closest location and
provide all of the information necessary to obtain a second dose
Get a COVID-19 Vaccine at Select School
Sites
All New Yorkers age 12 and up
can now receive a free COVID-19 vaccine! In
partnership with the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene,
some school sites will offer vaccination. You can simply walk in with your
student, any friend or family member who needs a vaccine, or just get one for
yourself. It's quick and easy, and will help you keep yourself, your
neighborhood, and your school community safe.
Have questions about the vaccine? Visit nyc.gov/covidvaccine for
all the facts.
Important information:
□ You will not need to
provide proof of immigration status or a social security number to get
vaccinated. ID is only required for proof of age.
□ You do not need health
insurance to get vaccinated.
□ All minors who are 12
to 15 must be accompanied to the vaccination site by a parent or guardian, or
another adult caregiver designated by the parent/guardian.
Frequently Asked Questions (from the Provider):
Will the Provider return to the school for Second
Dose?
□ The Provider
will NOT return to the school for second dose
□ The Provider
WILL direct parents/clients to the closest location and provide all of the
information necessary to obtain a second dose.
How does the provider obtain consent?
□ School admins should be aware that there are consent
guidelines for minors. The Provider will not vaccinate without
parent/guardian consent. (consent guidelines below)
□ The Provider is responsible for obtaining consent for the
vaccination.
Consent Language:
For minors who are 12 to 17 years old:
□ Minors (ages 12 to 17) may only receive the Pfizer vaccine.
□ Minors must have parental, guardian or legal custodian consent, unless
the minor is part of a group to whom the law gives the right to consent to
their own care (e.g., married minors, minors who are parents or pregnant, and
minors in the military).
□ For minors 16 or 17 years of age, such consent should be provided
either in person or by phone, at the time of vaccine appointment. Providers may
elect whether to accept a written statement of consent from the parent or
guardian, where the parent or guardian is not available by phone to provide
consent to vaccinate an unaccompanied minor. The written statement must include
the minor's name and date of birth, and the parent or guardian's name, phone
number, and signature. For more information on which vaccination sites accept
written consent, please call 877-VAX-4NYC or 877-829-4692.
□ For minors 12 through 15 years of age, additionally, an adult caregiver
should accompany the minor. If the adult caregiver is not the parent or
guardian, the adult caregiver should be designated by the parent or guardian.
The parent or guardian must still provide consent to the vaccination.

As we prepare to end another extraordinary year of helping students succeed, we would like to alert you of a few important dates and announcements.
The DOE is expected to share guidance that will help us better prepare for reopening in September in a few weeks. This guidance will include DOE plans to ensure the health and safety of our students, families, and staff members. We welcome the opportunity to return 100% to the building next academic year. The expected return date for staff is September 9, 2021.
It
is recommended that staff stay connected via email during the summer months and
check-in with their immediate supervisor when needed. As always, make sure your
contact information is up to date to inform you about any issues that impact
you. Finally, you’ve got some time for yourself. Enjoy it to the fullest.
MEASURES
OF STUDENT LEARNING
Just letting the teaching staff
know that we had to choose Citywide Option for our MOSL based on the guidance
from the NYC Department of Education.
Here was the guidance I received
regarding MOSL:
A. Question to ask yourselves,
Is the school giving/ has given any of these assessments this school year?
(These are the only MOSL eligible assessments this year, no Regents will count
for MoSL this year).
NYC Performance Tasks (all
available grades and subjects)
Running Records (Fountas &
Pinnell and TCRWP
Degrees of Reading Power (DRP,
MSQI Schools only)
B. If the answer is no, we are not administering any of
the MOSL-eligible assessments above- what do we do?
If a school
is not using (and doesn’t plan to use) any MOSL-eligible assessments, then
the School-based MOSL Committee can only recommend the citywide
measure (see
FAQ 3.4.1 FAQs
can be found here ).
Frequently Asked
Question/ Citywide Option defined further:
If
my MOSL committee chooses the Citywide option and we choose not to
administer one of the listed assessments, what will my teacher's scores be
based on?
MOSL scores will be based
on the above assessments taken by students across the city where a growth
measure will be calculated using the NYC DOE's Growth Model. All teachers in a
specific school will receive the same measure, regardless of the
grade/subject(s) they teach. In other words, if the school selects a schoolwide
measure, the MOSL rating will be the same for all teachers in that
school. All teachers in all schools that select the citywide measure will
receive the same MOSL rating. (Advance FAQs 3.1.1 FAQs can be found here)
The citywide measure includes
all student scores from all MOSL-eligible assessments administered
in all schools in the city.
MOSL-eligible assessments are
the same for schoolwide measures and the citywide measure (see next question
for a list, or FAQ 3.2.1 FAQs can be found here).
All teachers
in all schools that select the citywide measure will receive the
same MOSL rating.
SCHOOL BASED HEALTH CENTER REFERRALS
If
you have a student who would like to schedule medical, mental health, health
education appointment or even just has questions about the health center,
please feel free to give them this number!!
They should contact the Falcon Health Center
directly by contacting Talia Baurer at 646-670-7158

COMING FALL 2021: PROJECT 24/7 RESPECT
Project
24/7 Respect is a program, created by the Boston Public Schools (BPS) Office of
Equity, to empower students to address and report bias-based and sexual
misconduct, whether it is in-person or online. Students in grades 9 through 12
watch and discuss the film, "24/7 Respect," to better understand how
to identify and report bias-based and sexual misconduct. According to the
creators of this program, the process enables students to deepen their
understanding of how to foster a safe, respectful, and welcoming environment
for all. The BPS Office of Equity launched 24/7 Respect in Spring 2019 in
response to an alarming nationwide increase in students engaging in bias-based
and sexual misconduct, including posting offensive racial comments online and
"sexting." This will be another program that we have to support
student well-being.
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.
