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.

 

LET’S USE THE REMAINING TIME IN 20-21 TO GET READY FOR 21-22

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.

SENIOR ART SHOW 2021 LAUNCHED THIS PAST FRIDAY – MAKE SURE YOU CHECK IT OUT

Details can be found at https://www.hsfi.nyc/art2021

REGENTS EXAMINATIONS

Below is the upcoming Regents schedule – as you can see, there are only four exams being administered this testing period - English Language Arts, Living Environment, Algebra I and Physical Setting/Earth Science.  Your supervisors will be in touch with you regarding any proctoring and/or grading responsibilities that you might have.

 

Regents Examination	Date and Time to be administered
English Language Arts	Thursday, June 17 at 9:15 a.m.
Living Environment	Tuesday, June 22 at 9:15 a.m.
Algebra I	Wednesday, June 23 at 9:15 a.m.

END OF YEAR SCHEDULES

 

Schedule for June 14, 15 & 16

All teaching staff on a 9:00 - 3:45 Schedule

9:00 - 10:00	Prep / Outreach to Students & Families
10:00 - 11:30	NX & Enrichment Activities
11:30 - 12:15	Lunch
12:15 - 1:30	NX & Enrichment Activities
1:30 - 3:45	PD (In Person Teachers leave at 3pm)

 

Schedule for June 17-25

Students are not required to attend classes as the Regents testing period takes place.  We will figure out the schedule during this time period as we get closer to this date.  We will have Regents proctoring and grading during this time period.  Based on our NX situation, we will need some staff assigned to support these students.  We expect that the majority of staff will be focused on planning for the upcoming school year.  All teaching staff will be on a 9:00 am - 3:45 pm schedule.

 

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.
