SUPPORTING STUDENTS WITH IEPs - NEW INFORMATION SO PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
As we enter into the new semester, it is important to be aware of your students who have IEP's and how to best support them in the classroom. You can reference the below list to determine which of your students have IEP's. Here you will find their program placement, testing accommodations and if they use an assistive technology device. Please remember this information is confidential and should not be shared or displayed. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1iJurGSvas4FlN0uYwFau4EKev14U6E0MddtgRXnSALM/edit?usp=sharing
Another way to determine this information is through the Dashboard. Students with an IEP will have a small blue icon next to their name. By clicking it, you will be taken to SESIS where you can login and look over their IEP.
IEP TEACHER FORMS
For the month of February you may receive a teacher form for a student you had in the previous semester. This will help us to engage individuals who best know the student and gather the most accurate information for the IEP. Teacher forms should contain information specific to your course and the students' performance. Here are some examples of teacher forms. These are meant to provide guidance and let us know if you need support when completing forms.
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PJBhhL-NDl5gWnH9ro7MTnckQW9D8C9ksUFQ2zG-nb4/edit?usp=sharing
IEP MEETINGS
With the shift in program, IEP's will now be hosted throughout the week at various times. If you are invited to a meeting you will receive a calendar invitation and remember, meetings are hosted virtually; You will need a quiet, secure location in order to participate. The individual hosting your meeting will let you know a secure location for the meeting and you are also welcome to join us in 329 if you are unable to locate a space. If you are unable to attend an IEP meeting, inform us before the meeting so we may schedule another individual to join in your place. And when applicable, coverages will be requested.
SESIS &THE IEP
In addition, we want to provide everyone with a reminder regarding students with IEPs and SESIS as well as the sections of the IEP which you may find most helpful when planning your instruction. Please refer to the document below and let us know if you have any questions.
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1kOmsslvRr9h_gOXSmCSgXNgNd-8FG9nXsbUQ94G12ps/edit?usp=sharing
CHAPTER 408 NOTIFICATION
Similar to the beginning of the year, you will again receive a notice for the Chapter 408 notification. Please complete and throughout the year you will receive email updates as we host meetings.
Here is the link to Ms. McGuinness’s Opening Day presentation on what you need to know about our support of our Special Education students: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1-GyWDXBAvwzUfZ3o85dlEkwLCLrLvOeCV-jxU6ObxMc/edit?usp=sharing

SHOWCASING THE POSITIVES ABOUT HSFI
We would love to feature the amazing work you and your students are creating in your classrooms / spaces on our HSFI social media sites.
Please click on the link below and upload a photo of this amazing work so we can showcase you and your students.
https://forms.gle/hsVFUo5sZGFhTVtd9
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RULES TO MOVE AROUND HSFI
As we begin the Spring 2022 term, we have established the rules for moving around the school building.
The emphasis will be on students having a (1) Physical Pass (2) Student ID Card (3) Physical Program Card if they want to move around the building.
Students found in the hallways between periods without a pass will be reported as cutting, resulting in disciplinary action. This includes the lunch periods. Students are not permitted to be in the hallways and stairwells without a pass.
Please read and execute these guidelines carefully. We need to be UNIFIED in enforcing these rules.
Regarding bathroom passes, I wanted to remind you to not give out these passes during the last five minutes and first ten minutes of classes when bathrooms will be closed. Bathrooms will be open during the passing time during the change of classes. In an absolute emergency, you can certainly provide a pass.
Here is a chart of when bathrooms are open and when bathroom passes are needed.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STUDENT PRONOUNS FORM
We want to make sure that we are using the pronouns that students identify with. To this end, we have created a Google Form where students identify what pronoun they want used by HSFI staff. Here is the link to Student Pronouns Form: https://forms.gle/Lpiamuu4xbHndXb26
Please encourage your students to fill out the form. Everyone has the right to use the gender pronouns that match their personal identity.
If you go to your students listing page on the dashboard: https://hsfi-datadashboard-v3.herokuapp.com/classes/mystudents
You can click the green button to download a spreadsheet with all your students including course, section, period, student HSFI email address, and pronouns as provided by students in the survey
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HSFI STUDENT OF INTEREST LIST
We have created a list of students that are struggling the most. We will be working hard to make sure they are not disrupting the school; facing consequences for doing so; and connecting with their families to get them into another community where they will succeed.
Here is the link to this ‘Student of Interest’ list on the Data Dashboard: https://hsfi-datadashboard-v3.herokuapp.com/patrol/students_of_interest

COVID COMMUNICATION FLOW CHART
In an effort to streamline our efforts to identify people in the school building who have tested positive for COVID and then get the exposed people their rapid at-home tests, we have created a ‘COVID Positive Test Survey’
Here is the Survey link:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfX5j9E-Qepl8wnzWkrPpwCGaRLfya_46cWrpLAcuM2U2hkEA/viewform
If you know the name of a student that has been identified as testing positive for COVID, please fill out this Google Form – do not worry about duplicates and multiple staff members identifying the same student. There is one spreadsheet that the information goes to and we will see any duplicates.
If you test positive, please submit your name into the form.
Based off these submissions, we will follow up with all community members who were exposed based on the attached flow chart.
Please continue to submit Teacher Notes if you know of a student who tests positive – thank you for doing that to communicate with your colleagues.
Students who test positive are directed to reach out to their teachers for work, so teachers should know who tested positive.
Thank you! If you have any questions/suggestions about the flow chart, please feel free to reach out to me.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
COVID SUPPLIES FOR YOUR CLASSROOM / OFFICE
We have COVID supplies for your classroom / office – masks, sanitizer, wipes, gloves – in Room 821 (Conference Room) – please come when you can and take what you need for your classroom / office.
Please take what you need and not any more than that – supplies are limited. Thank you.
COVID TESTING LOCATIONS
As per the email shared with you, here are the COVID Testing Sites starting on Sunday, January 2 onward for the next week - Sites open 7am to 7pm:
Sites open 9am to 7pm:
In addition, beginning January 2, you will have access to five testing sites exclusively for DOE staff.
These sites are walk-in only. There is no need to make an appointment prior to your visit.
What to Bring
□ Verification of DOE employment (School/DOE ID OR paystub OR offer letter)
□ Insurance card (insurance will be billed for testing services where possible; cost to employees with or without insurance will remain $0
INCREASED IN SCHOOL SURVEILLANCE TESTING
Beginning January 3, the in-school testing program will expand, doubling the number of students tested at each school, including both vaccinated and unvaccinated students. The random in-school surveillance program continues to provide public health experts with an accurate look at the prevalence of COVID-19 in schools.
Along with increasing the number of students tested, testing will continue to be made available to DOE staff whenever schedule and capacity permit. Testing providers are bound by test capacity and the time scheduled and may not always be able to test all interested staff. However, all staff are now guaranteed an at-home rapid test kit each week in January.
AT-HOME RAPID TEST KITS FOR STUDENTS & STAFF
Schools will distribute these test kits to all staff on a weekly basis for the month of January, and any students and staff who exhibit COVID-like symptoms OR all students and staff in a classroom where an individual has tested positive for COVID-19; the test kits are not meant to be distributed to all on Monday. All test kits must be distributed with the “How To Use Your Home Test Kit” letter.
Guidelines for Test Kit Use:
These at-home rapid test kits should be distributed:
□ To all staff and students in a class where a positive case is identified. Staff and students in that class should use the take-home tests to monitor for COVID. Those who have an at-home rapid test kit will need to take the test two times over the course of five days (each kit includes two tests).
□ It is recommended that exposed individuals take one test that evening and one test on Day Five after exposure.
□ If an exposed individual starts experiencing COVID symptoms before Day Five, they should use the second test.
□ To any staff member or student who is exhibiting symptoms of COVID-19.
□ These individuals should be isolated, go home, and take this test at home.
□ To all staff on a weekly basis for the month of January. Additional tests can be made available to individual staff if necessary if their class has a positive case.
□ Anyone who tests positive from an at-home rapid test should immediately report it to the school and begin isolating. Principals should report any positive results from an at-home rapid test to the Situation Room.
□ Staff that test positive from at-home rapid test kits should follow the Updated Staff Isolation Policy, as listed in Section III, above. No negative test is required when returning to work.
□ Students who test positive must isolate for 10 days from the day of the positive test was taken or day symptoms started, whichever came first, and may return to school on Day 11. No negative test is required when returning to school on Day 11.
For questions about at-home rapid test kits, please email stayinghealthy@schools.nyc.gov.
NEW QUARANTINE POLICY
Our goal is to ensure that students safely remain in school as much as possible, and we have updated our policies to ensure we meet this goal. This means that if there is a positive case in a classroom:
□ For students in kindergarten through grade 12, unvaccinated or not yet fully-vaccinated students who were in close proximity to a positive case will no longer have to quarantine and will continue attending school if they do not have symptoms and do not have a positive test result from a COVID test. Instead, all students and adults in that classroom will receive a take-home rapid test kit and take two tests over the course of five days.
UPDATED STAFF ISOLATION POLICY
The State of New York recently issued updated guidance on isolation periods for essential staff, which includes teachers and school-based staff, the “Advisory on Shortening Isolation Period.” This guidance shortens the isolation period for these individuals who test positive, but are asymptomatic or showing mild symptoms, from 10 to 5 days. Teachers and school-based staff who are fully vaccinated may now return to work on Day 6 after testing positive for COVID-19 under the following conditions:
□ Per State guidance, the positive teacher/school-based staff member must be asymptomatic OR have mild symptoms only:
□ They must be fever-free for 72 hours without the use of medication;
□ They must not have a runny nose; and/or,
□ They must have a minimal cough only, cannot be coughing up phlegm.
□ Symptoms must be improving or mild.
□ At work, from Day 6 through Day 10, the positive teacher/school-based staff member must consistently and correctly wear a well-fitting higher-level face covering, such as a KN95 mask, which will be provided to staff if they do not have one.
Individuals who do not meet the above conditions should still isolate for 10 days.
We understand the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recently recommended shortening the isolation period for all individuals (not just essential workers) who test positive, but are asymptomatic or showing mild symptoms, from 10 to 5 days. As the State and City reviews this policy, we will notify you immediately of any changes to the current isolation policy for students.
STAFF CONSENT FOR COVID TESTING
Any staff member who wish to receive a COVID test must do the following:
#1 - Login into the health screen portal https://healthscreening.schools.nyc/
#2 - After completing your health screen. Click on the consent button at the top left.
#3 - Click on yes to the question and press the submit consent.
After submitting to the consent it takes at least 3 days to appear on the testing database.
We do not believe it needs to be done each day but submitting to consent on a weekly basis may be a good idea.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EVERYONE SHOULD BE DISTRIBUTING FASHION DOLLARS
Everyone across all titles should be distributing Fashion Dollars.
This is an equity issue - No student should be denied access to getting Fashion Dollars if they deserve them. This is an expectation of all staff members.
Students now know what they can get with their Fashion Dollars, so please give them out positively reinforcing the soft skills our students need to succeed:

Written communication (composing written reports and documents);
Visual communication (ability to provide information using pictures and other visual aids);
Active listening (hearing what others say)
□ Students show evidence of PROBLEM-SOLVING by cultivating diverse solutions to challenges; exploring safe solutions to bumps in the road, and achieving SOARRing skills by learning from mistakes.
□ Students show evidence of having a strong WORK ETHIC by demonstrating ownership and commitment to the expectations of the HSFI community; Managing time and responsibilities by meeting deadlines and going the extra mile to excellence and improvement

DO NOT ASK A STUDENT TO NOT ATTEND A COLLEAGUE’S CLASS OR DISCUSSION GROUP
No one is allowed to ask a student to not go to another person’s class or SEL Discussion Group. This is unprofessional to think that your class / assignment is more important than someone else’s class / assignment. There is obviously well meaning behind the request trying to help a student, but we cannot do this to one another.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STAFF TOWN HALLS
Staff Town Halls will continue through the remainder of the school year. The town halls will take place on Fridays during the lunch periods (4-7) in Room 821. As always, feel free to come and speak about anything you wish. Student town halls will be starting up this month.
Here are the list of dates:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

JUPITER NOW SYNCS WITH THE DATA DASHBOARD WHICH MEANS ATTENDANCE & ASSIGNMENT INFORMATION IS NOW PART OF A STUDENT’S DASHBOARD PROFILE
The dashboard now syncs daily with Jupiter to include attendance and assignment information. On a student page, you can view the assignments turned in (or not turned in) by the student. Additionally there is a section showing the student attendance summary and a list of specific days absent according to ATS records as of that morning.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PROCEDURES FOR TEACHERS PROCESSING ADD / DROPS ON JUPITER
This memorandum outlines the procedure for teachers processing add/drops on Jupiter.
Here is Google document link: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1e0Figcy2deyQQ51CVSlvK7Jd3pszUMXR9s5cZFsUtVE/edit?usp=sharing
Even though the program changes period is complete, the programming office continues to make student program changes. These program changes arise from changes to IEP recommended program, security & safety concerns, NX reconciliations, and transfer credits.
Students are programmed in STARS (which populates to STARS classroom automatically). These schedules are uploaded to the dashboard and to Jupiter twice a week. When a change is made, students are directed to pick up a new paper program from their counselor or the wellness office. Period attendance (white sheets) are printed once a week and will not reflect changes. Daily attendance (blue sheets) are printed automatically each morning and will reflect the changes as of 4pm the day prior.
When a student is dropped from a Jupiter section, a red ❌ will appear next to the student’s name on the Grades➔Student tab. The teacher should finalize entering any outstanding grades for the student and complete the drop by clicking the red ❌. Until the red ❌ is clicked and the drop completed, the course will continue to appear on the student’s Jupiter schedule. The student will not be released and automatically added to the new teacher’s roster until the drop is completed.
If the student is changing from one period to another of the same teacher, any assignments that are created in the old period and the new period will transfer automatically.
New students to your roster will be denoted with a green ➕. Once the drop is processed, you will gain full access to them in your gradebook.
If you have any questions about the class enrollment of a particular student, contact the student’s guidance counselor.
