PBIS CALL TO ACTION
● LAST CALL FOR END OF YEAR PARTY
Our end of year party is this Thursday, June 9 after our PD day – it would be wonderful to get as many HSFI community members there as possible to celebrate another great school year and honor the staff that will be retiring. See Ms. Ianniello in Room 819 if you did not let her know that you want to attend and now want to / if you signed up to attend and did not pay yet, please see Ms. Ianniello by the end of the day on Monday
● FINISHING UP STRONG! 5 INSTRUCTIONAL DAYS LEFT
Please communicate with all students that we only have 5 instructional days until the end of the Spring term and the start of Regents examinations. Please emphasize the fact that the grades given at the end of term are the grades that appear on students’ transcripts seen by colleges, so they should FINISH UP STRONG! As we all know as the weather heats up, our students’ attention span seems to drift – focus on active engagement in your classes to keep our students on the straight and narrow.
● MAINTAINING SCHOOL TONE
As we enter the home stretch of the school year, it is critical that we need to be UNIFIED as a staff in enforcing our school rules to maintain our school tone. Please be consistent and model the correct behaviors our students need in order to SOARR to college and career readiness.
NO FOOD IN CLASSROOMS– students can only eat in the student cafeteria & the student lounge - no food should in classrooms before, during or after school – no staff or students should be eating in any computer lab
DRESS CODE – every week there are zero dress code infractions which is certainly not reality– nobody is reporting these infractions via Jupiter Grades – please make these referrals, so we can follow up with these students and help set the proper tone and attire here at HSFI
PROPER USE OF HALL / HEALTH CENTER PASSES– students can only leave the classroom with a pass / students going to the Falcon Health Center must use that specific pass
ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT POLICY- electronic equipment are only allowed to be used in classrooms for instructional purposes – students must not be allowed to take out their phones during class and do not let students charge this equipment in your classrooms
ELEVATORS – students are not allowed on staff elevators unless they have their own elevator card / ask students to show their elevator passes when they are in those elevators
HELP NEEDED TO GET STUDENTS TO FILL OUT END OF YEAR SURVEY
For the second year in a row, I sent an end of year ‘Student Voice in Making HSFI Better’ survey. I asked them about whether or not they look forward to coming to HSFI every day, the activities they participated in, and what they thought of the cafeteria, bathrooms and Fashion Dollars. The survey should take students about 15 minutes to complete – please encourage them to take the survey – maybe even motivate them with some extra credit. My hope is that these responses and comments will make HSFI even better than it is.
HSFI STAFF NEEDED TO WORK AS SUMMER SCHOOL SUBS, GRADERS, PROCTORS & TUTORS
It is clear that few HSFI staff want to work full-time during the summer, but we still need substitute teachers, tutors, Regents proctors and Regents graders. Please fill out the below surveys to let us know if you want to work in these capacities:

OPERATIONAL NEED TO KNOW
● First Monday Schedule – No PLCs / Department Meetings
This Monday, June 6, we will be on a First Monday schedule but there will be no Professional Learning Communities or Department meetings – staff will be on their own to finish end of year work. Teachers are on an 8:30 – 3:15 schedule.
● Important Testing Reminders
We are a week away from Regents, but it is important that we be ready for these high-stakes exams – there are 2 main reminders:
REMINDER TO MAKE ROOMS REGENTS READY
Before a test can be given in any room, teachers must prepare the rooms to the following specifications - Please assist all proctors by preparing your classrooms:
(1) Desks must be arranged in straight rows.
(2) Teachers must clear desks and shelves under the desks of all books, papers, and other materials.
(3) Teachers must completely cover or remove all charts or remove maps pertinent any subject matter being tested. Teachers must remove all board work.
ACTIVE TESTING PROCTORING
It is critical that everyone be ACTIVE proctors during the testing period – follow the proctoring checklist step by step to insure that all New York City and State testing regulations are followed. Be sure to:
#1 – Make sure you speak to students individually as they enter the testing room to put away any electronic equipment in their lockers if they still have possession of them
#2 – Make sure you are walking around the classroom during the exam and look out for students correcting filling out the answer sheets to make sure they do not omit questions or double bubble
#3 – Call up students one by one when they want to hand in their examinations and thoroughly examine their answer sheets and essay booklets to make sure the exams are properly completed
● Accommodations for Students Observing Ramadan
Ramadan starts this Tuesday, June 7th and lasts for a month, though the only days that really affect these students are June 7 (Tuesday), June 8 (Wednesday), June 9 (Friday) and June 12 (Monday). Brought up by Ms. Bohner, it would be great to have a place for those students observing Ramadan to have a place to go during lunch so that they don't have to be in the cafeteria with all the food around when they are trying to fast. These students can go to the student lounge 5th and 6th / they can go to Room 646 during 4th and 7th. Thank you Ms. Bohner and Ms. Thomas!
● Your Voice Needed to Improve Our Technology Support
Please assist us by filling out this quick survey regarding technology assistance – you will be rating the overall computer service assistance from (1) Needs Major Improvement; to (2) Fair; (3) Good, but Needs Some Adjustments; (4) Excellent.

COOL THINGS GOING ON AT HSFI
● HSFI Students Showcased in a Young Author’s Book Project
You must visit the website - http://brightblueskyandgraysilence.com/ - which showcases a Youth Author’s Book Project that Ms. Rebecca Eisenberg facilitated with our students through ‘826NYC,’ a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting students ages 6-18 with their creative and expository writing skills and to helping teachers inspire their students to write. The organization’s services are structured around our belief that great leaps in learning happen with one-on-one attention and that strong writing skills are fundamental to future success. Some of the students showcased on the website include Lisseth Aguilar, Zuairah Islam, Tammy Leong, Jarai Ross-Mackey, Carmen Salas, Alice Sungurov and Sukari Webb. The students wrote personal narratives with the guiding theme, “Place and How it Shapes Us.” After working in-class with volunteers for four weeks, selected students formed an editorial board to determine the title of the publication, discuss internal story orders and themes, meet with the book and web designers, and more. The culminating publication, Bright Blue Sky and Gray Silence, will be available for purchase on June 8th, 2016 via the 826NYC storefront, the Brooklyn Superhero Supply Co. To help celebrate the students’ hard work, Sheri Booker, author of Nine Years Under: Coming of Age in an Inner-City Funeral Home, wrote the foreword to the book. She is also joining the students for a book release party at the High School of Fashion Industries on June 8th, 2016.
● Student Awards Ceremony on Wednesday, June 8
This is a highlight of the school year as we celebrate the success of our students, especially our seniors, in front of family and staff. Please join us for this wonderful event.
● National Honor Society Induction Ceremony on Friday, June 10
Our highest achieving students will be honored this coming Friday for our annual NHS Induction ceremony. As always, thank you Ms. Adamczyk for leading NHS!
● HSFI Alumni Association College Scholarships Winners Announced
Congratulations to the recipients of the 2016 Alumni College Scholarship winners - each of these students earned $500 to use towards their educational endeavors. The recipients are Fashion Design - Isabella Lajarra; Graphics and Illustration -Nasiba Chowdhury; and ‘Dreamer’ - Fabian Salazar. Each of these students will be awarded $500 during the Senior Award Ceremony. Thank you to our scholarship judges that included faculty members Mr. Alvarez, Ms. Bohner, Mr. Villalona, Ms. Zubrovich, Ms. Vongerichten, Ms De La Rosa and Ms. Dahill. As always, thank you to our dedicated Ms. David who is the HSFI Alumni Association Director.
● HSFI Track Team Stars at City Championships
Congratulations to the Girls Outdoor Track Team as they had a fine showing at the P.S.A.L City Championships this past Sunday, at Randall's Island. The day started with Sophomore Brittani Broderick placing 6th overall in the 100 Meter Hurdles. Brittani is currently the #2 sophomore in all of New York City in the 100 Meter Hurdles. Great job Lady Falcons - keep up the good work.
● Ms. Gibson Educational Excursion to China
As you may know, Ms. Gibson spent the last two weeks teaching Human Sexuality at Chongqing University of Technology. This experience was part of a Professional Development opportunity that she applied for through Widener University, where she is currently studying for her PhD in Human Sexuality Education. The program was competitive, but she was chosen as one of the 5 students to attend. Through this experience she gained valuable knowledge that she will use to empower and improve individual student connections of not only HSFI's students of Chinese ethnicity, but of all students as they journey through their lifelong sexuality education. If you are interested in seeing how her journey developed, you can visit her Google Classroom "Ms. Gibson goes to China." Through this educational tool she was able to blog and post for her students. Everyone was invited through their HSFI email account, or you can join using the code: 8hhs1b
● HealthCorps Opportunity
Thanks to Ms. Goodell for bringing this opportunity our way - HealthCorps University will be hosting its very first Summit on Health and Wellness Leadership on Saturday, June 18th from 9 AM - 4 PM. The Summit will consist of multiple health and wellness workshops facilitated by both HealthCorps staff and HealthCorps Coordinators. Lunch and transportation included, as well as a $100 stipend for any D.O.E staff. If you are interested, please contact Ms. Goodell at jean.goodell@healthcorps.org
