1/10/14 Weekly Bulletin
January 13 - 17, 2014 www.laguardiahs.org The LaGuardia Arts Weekly Bulletin Dr. Lisa Mars, Principal (IA) Soft-Opening For Renovated Library Mid-Year Exams Begin After extensive renovation, our Library had a softopening this week, which began with the reopening of the Tutoring Center. Students now are able to utilize the lunchtime tutoring provided by teachers as well as have a quiet place to study. The main Library entrance is still closed, so students enter from the 64th Street side of the building. During the renovation, the Tutoring Center and study area were held on the Mezzanine. Mid-Year Exams begin this week and run through January 24. Teachers have the opportunity of administering an exam over two class periods. The complete exam schedule is included in the “Measures of Student Learning” section. New procedures have been put in place for students who receive extended time testing accommodations. As the information is very specific, affected students and teachers should take the time to thoroughly familiarize themselves with the information. This will make the administering the extended time exams operate more smoothly and provide the optimal testing environment for students. Full access to the Library is expected at the beginning of the second semester. Two OPs Added to Calendar Yearbook Photos to Be Taken Performing Groups January 17 & 24 of On January 16 & 17, the group portrait of each performing group for the Yearbook will be taken during class. The schedule is being developed by the Music Studio, so teachers will be announcing the dates and the procedures to their classes. Students must be in performance attire. Two OPs -- January 17 and January 24 -- have been added to the school calendar. During the January 17 OP, Spring Schedules, which will include PM School (if applicable), will be distributed along with Regents Invitations, and an informational pamphlet regarding allergies. All students will also be given a Consent to Photograph form, which is to be returned to the OP teacher on January 24. This Consent to Be Photograph form allows us, when appropriate, to give recognition to students by displaying their image or work on the La! website, in the Yellow Sheet, or in school publications and materials. Most studios already collected this form for studio events; however, having a general-use form from every student in a central location from every student is a more efficient way of verifying that a Consent to Photograph form is on file. Incoming students will also be given a FAFSA Opt-Out form. This Week’s Events January 10 During the January 24 OP, students are to return the signed Consent to Be Photographed form. They will also receive their Spring MetroCard. The Spring cards do not go into effect until February 4, so it is important that students keep the new card secure until that time. Until the new card goes into effect, students should continue to use their Fall MetroCard. 13 14 F M T Semi-Annual Art Exhibit Opens through January 17; Gallery Opening: 4:30 PM - 7:00 PM Semi-Annual Chorus and Symphonic Band Concert; 7:30 PM; Concert Hall; Tickets $15/door Mid-Year Exam: Thursday Science Labs Only (1/2) Musicale #1; 6:00 PM; Concert Hall; Tickets $10/door Mid-Year Exams: Health, LOTE, Social Studies (1/2) Musicale #2; 6:00 PM; Concert Hall; Tickets $10/door Mid-Year Exams: English, Math (1/2) 15 W Musicale #3; 6:00 PM; Concert Hall; Tickets $10/door Mid-Year Exams: Science (nonThursday Labs), Studios 16 NYCCollegeLine.org: Find local programs in NYC and online resources for getting into and staying in College TH Schedule Music Studio Performance Groups Yearbook Pictures; Concert Hall (see teacher for schedule) OP Schedule (Just Added) Music Studio Performance Groups Yearbook Pictures; Concert Hall (see teacher for schedule) 13 M Regular partly cloud 27°/14° 14 T Regular mostly cloudy 38°/29° 15 W Regular partly cloud 35°/24° 16 TH Regular partly cloud 30°/29 Mid-Year Exams: Thursday Science Labs Only (2/2) 17 F OP cloudy 45/44° Mid-Year Exams: Make-Up Exams 17 1 F Newsworthy Flag Football Survey All female students interested in trying out/joining the Girls Flag Football Team, please fill out this attached slip and return to the box in Room 313 by January 17, 2014.

Musicale #1 Jr. Jazz, Intermediate Orchestra, Girls Chorus, and Opera Workshop Monday, January 13; 6:00 PM Name:_______________________ Respect For All Liaison: Mr. Brummel, located in the Deans Office Musical #2 Women’s Chorus, Jr. Band, Brass Ensemble, and Percussion Ensemble Tuesday, January 14, 6:00 PM Official Class:__________________ Seniors: January is Financial Aid Month Musical #3 Jr. Orchestra, Elementary Chorus, Mixed Chours, and Elementary Orchestra Wednesday, January 15; 6:00 PM It is vital that all students file financial aid applications such as FAFSA, tap, and CSS profile (where applicable) in the month of January. Financial aid is awarded on a first come first serve basis! Determining eligibility and securing for scholarships, grants, workstudy, and educational loans is an important step in your college application process. Additionally, many colleges have their own supplementary financial aid applications and deadlines. Be sure to check the requirements for each college. Even if you think your family will not be financially eligible for aid, many colleges use FAFSA eligibility to determine awards for academic merit scholarships. If your parents/guardians have not filed 2013 taxes, yet, you may complete the FAFSA by entering estimates using 2012 tax documents. You will be required to file revised applications once your parent/guardian completes thier 2013 taxes. Musicale tickets are available for $10 the evening of the performance. Translation and Interpretation Services Translation and interpretation services are available to parents/guardians. For information regarding language assistance services, please contact Mr. Della Pena. He can be reached at ADellaPenna2@ schools.nyc.gov or through ext. 2647. Available College Research Resources Juniors and Seniors may make use of the printed copies of college guides from Princeton Review and Fiske, found in the College and Career Center. As students begin their research, it is helpful to read a review shortly before and/or after a college visit. This will assist you in interpreting how the reviews align with your perceptions. After a short while, you will be able to read a review and determine whether this is a school in which to add to the list of schools you are interested in. There are many websites that look to take advantage of students and families during this very important time. Do not fall victim to the many fraudulent websites offering quick and easy services. Use only the following links to access financial aid applications! 1) FAFSA (free application for federal student aid): www.FAFSA.ed.gov Here is a recycling tip: 2) NYS TAP (new york state tuition assistance program): www.hesc.com Sort what you throw out in the cafeteria! It is an easy way to make LaGuardia’s recycling efforts so much more successful. 3) CSS profile (used by specific private colleges and universities): http://student.Collegeboard.Org/CSSfinancial-aid-profile Blue bins are for metal, glass, plastic, and milk cartons. (Please refer to online help and FAQ sections for assistance in completing applications.) Pour liquids out into the white bucket. Finally, the US Department of Education has an amazing youtube website that offers many great videos to help you and your family easily access and understand the FAFSA. Explore further and educate yourself on the financial aid process by visiting http://www.Youtube.Com/playlist?List=pl23b9a23c d8dd82dd The lidded compost bin can take any food and even trays and paper boats. The gray trash bin is for anything else, but what else is there? Lunchtime is the perfect time to reduce waste! Note: if you did not attend the December financial aid presentation, please see your Guidance Counselor to obtain copies of the materials provided at the December 10, 2013, meeting.

In addition, we will provide a block of time after school (starting period 9) to finish the exams. When students have the PE off-days/Study Skills periods before the exam, they should start the exam in the extended time location and continue the exam in class. Such students will get the exam from the department office the morning of that day and bring it to the location. When students start the exam in class, at the end of the period teachers need to send the student with the exam in a sealed envelope to be finished in the testing area. Students should go to the after-school examination area after their last period of the day starting with period 9. Drama and Dance Majors Students should take the extended time portion of the exam after school or during theirs Study Skills class if they have one. If staying after school is not an option (due to prior obligations), we will have the examination locations open on Friday, January 17, and Friday, January 24, during the day and after school. Students may take advantage of more than one of the options provided: PE off-days/Study Skills periods, after school, and the two Fridays. Teachers At least one working day prior to the scheduled exam, additional exams need to be available in each department office, and each teacher should have a few extra tests on hand in the event that we need them. When students start the exam in your class, please give the exam in a sealed envelope to the student to be completed in the extended time space. Testing Locations Students Testing Location Qualifying for 1.5 time under 504 accommodations and ELL The Library Qualifying for double time under 504 accommodations Room 323 Students with IEPs (1.5 time and double) Room 321 If you cannot fit the extended time part of the test under any of the options alone, please e-mail Kas Wilson at [email protected] by Monday, January 6. You will get an answer within one working day. Notes for Teachers • For English, Social Studies and LOTE exams: The midterm exams need to be organized in the following manner: The first day should be assigned for the essay portion of the exam, and the second day should be assigned for the multiple choice questions or short answers. • Please be mindful that the weeks of examinations are very busy and stressful for all students. Please minimize or eliminate homework. The students will need to use the time to prepare for these tests. • Students with 504s and IEPs are especially at risk of becoming overwhelmed by the work and the additional pressure of completing homework while studying for mid-terms may affect their performance. In addition, be advised that some students may not be able to complete some tests on the assigned days and might need to take the extra time on the two Fridays of the test weeks or another day. • Should you identify any students who need support during this time, please inform the guidance counselor.

If you are entitled to extended time according to 504 accommodations, you will now be able to take the 23 minutes of testing time in this separate location. Please note the following: • You cannot start a test later than ten minutes into the period. • If you are taking a test during a lunch period, you will be given a pass to eat lunch for the remainder of the period (about twenty minutes) after you have finished the exam. • You will need to sign in when you take an exam. All of the exams will be logged in by the teacher proctor. Notes for teachers follow: Teachers: If you have students who you would like to take advantage of this facility, please do the following: 1. Bring the exam to room 323 during lunch periods. 2. Place the test in a folder provided for you on site. (Folders will also be located in your department office.) 3. Write the student’s name on the front tab of folder, and write the teacher’s name on the back tab of the folder. Please reuse folders. 4. The student will take the extended time part of the exam during the lunch period. 5. Return the next day to room 323 to pick up the completed exam.

A student who had never before produced a line of computer code decided that she wanted to take a computer science course following an after-school experience at LaGuardia Arts High School. The event was Code Week, a nationwide initiative to encourage students to learn more about computer programming. This student was one of several who benefited from the opportunity to discover either Java, PHP, MYSQL, or HTML. Art teacher Ms. Lombardi facilitated. Ms. Lombardi believes that Code Week was a great success at LaGuardia because so many of our students participated who had never tried computer programming before, yet they were comfortable with the tutorials which guided them step by step to work at their own pace. On the first day, students watched a short video featuring words of encouragement from President Obama: “No one’s born a computer scientist, but with a little hard work - and some math and science - just about anyone can become one,” he said. Students were actively engaged, getting hands-on programming experience. Tutorials were available for coding neophytes and veterans alike. Code.org offers free resources for anyone interested in trying computer programming. Ms. Lombardi emphasizes the importance of computer literacy for students at the high school level. Programming and computer applications are important throughout the arts. For example, art majors create interactive art, and technical theater majors use 3-D Studio Max. Following the success of Code Week, students are eager to advance their programming skills to prepare themselves for the future. In addition, many students found programming to be enjoyable and intellectually stimulating. They were eager to If (ProgrammingExperience>0) take their skills to the next level. JobOpportunities++; Increasingly, careers in the arts demand computer literacy and reward proficiency in programming. Wozniak, Steve. iWoz. New York: W.W. Norton and Company, 2006.

There are a variety of reasons why this information is helpful to both La! and the DOE. The DOE is able to automatically verify this information if you do not return the Opt Out form below (meaning, (the DOE, FAFSA, and NSC will share the information.) DOE: FAFSA: NSC: After reading the information below, you may return the Opt Out form to Dr. Stricklin in Room 206A. LaGuardia will still attempt to verify this information either through e-mail or telephone with the individuals listed in Daedalus and on the blue emergency card. The New York City Department of Education (DOE) is working to provide students with a rich, engaging, and rigorous education that prepares them for college or a career when they graduate. To accomplish this, the DOE is working with the U.S. Department of Education and the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC), which provides information on graduates’ college outcomes. New York City Department of Education Free Application for Federal Student Aid National Student Clearinghouse 2013-2014 DIRECTORY INFORMATION NOTICE AND OPT OUT FORM FOR THE US DOE FAFSA COMPLETION PROJECT AND NATIONAL STUDENT CLEARINGHOUSE A Federal law called the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (“FERPA”) prohibits the New York City Department of Education (“NYC DOE”) from releasing personally identifiable information contained in a student’s educational record without the consent of the parent (if the student is under the age of 18) or of the student (if the student is over the age of 18). However, an exception in FERPA to this prohibition allows the NYC DOE to designate certain types of personal information about you and/or your children as “directory information” and to release it unless you have specifically instructed the NYC DOE not to do so in accordance with the procedures set forth below. “Directory information” is defined in FERPA as information that is generally not considered harmful or an invasion of privacy if released. It includes the names of students, their grade level, their dates of birth and their home addresses, as well as other categories of information that are not the subject of this notice. Effective Wednesday, January 1st 2014, the NYC DOE designates certain categories of information as “directory information” for each of the limited purposes described below in Designations #1 and #2. If you wish to stop the NYC DOE from releasing directory information as described in this notice about you or your children, you must complete the opt out form below no later than Friday, January 31st, 2014 and submit it to the principal of your or your child’s school, or if you are submitting on behalf of more than one child, to the principal of each child’s school. If you do not wish to opt out, there is no need for you to fill out the opt out form or to take further action. You must submit one opt out form for each student. Under FERPA, students age 18 or above have the right to prohibit release of directory information, and completion of the opt out form by a parent or guardian will be ineffective. Copies of this notice and opt out form are available at your or your child’s school, or may be accessed at http://schools.nyc.gov/RulesPolicies/default.htm. Any request you make to prohibit release of directory information with respect to Designations 1 and 2 below will remain in effect for a particular opt out unless you specifically revoke it. Therefore, if you completed an opt out last year concerning these designations, your opt-out remains effective and there is no need to resubmit this form. If you later wish to revoke an opt out, you must do so in writing to the principal of your or your child’s school, or if you are revoking an opt out on behalf of more than one child, to the principal of each child’s school. In order for the DOE to obtain data and information from the U.S. Department of Education and NSC on Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) completion and college enrollment, the DOE will be sharing certain student information with these organizations. Designation #1 – The FAFSA Completion Project Federal law regarding student privacy requires the DOE to provide families and students with notice and an opportunity to instruct the DOE not to release this information. Families and students who do not want to share student information should complete the US DOE FAFSA Completion Project and National Student Clearinghouse Directory Information Notice and Opt Out Form. Only students and families that wish to exercise that right to opt out need to complete the form. In 2010, the US DOE launched the FAFSA Completion Project (the “Project”). The Project will help the NYC DOE assist students and families in completing Free Applications for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), and also in improving student access to financial aid for their postsecondary education. To continue participation in the FAFSA Completion Project, the NYC DOE designates the names, addresses and dates of birth of 2013-2014 NYC DOE students in grades 9 through 12 as directory information for the limited purpose of disclosing this information to the US DOE. The US DOE, in turn, will inform the NYC DOE whether NYC DOE students submitted a FAFSA, on what date it was submitted, and if the initial submission was complete. Please complete and sign below if you wish to opt out of release of information to the US DOE for the FAFSA Completion Project. If you do not wish to opt out, there is no need for you to take further action. I am the student listed below, and am age 18 or over. I do NOT want my name, address and date of birth released to US DOE for the FAFSA Completion Project. I am the parent or guardian of the student listed below, who is under age 18. I do NOT want my child’s name, address and date of birth released to US DOE for the FAFSA Completion Project. FORM CONTINUES ON THE NEXT PAGE Designation #2 – National Student Clearinghouse The National Student Clearinghouse (the “NSC”) is a non-profit organization that will provide college enrollment and graduation information to the NYC DOE. This information will help schools understand and improve students’ college readiness and success, and will be used by NYC DOE for research purposes. The NYC DOE designates student names, grade levels (for example, ninth grade) and dates of birth of students entering 9th grade, together with NYC DOE students for the years 1998-2013, as directory information for the limited purpose of disclosing this information to the NSC. The NSC, in turn, will give the NYC DOE information on NYC DOE students who enrolled in a higher educational institution. This information includes where the student entered college, the state where the college is located, dates enrolled, graduation date (if applicable) and degree earned (if applicable). To High School Students and Families: Your school, with support from the New York City Department of Education (DOE), is working to provide students with a rich, engaging, and rigorous education that prepares them for college or a career when they graduate. That preparation begins early in required coursework and involvement in your school community. We continue to strengthen supports for students and families, as well as principals, teachers, counselors, and college advisors so that the work in classrooms every day produces meaningful growth in student learning and prepares students to make successful transitions after graduation. Please complete and sign below if you wish to opt out of release of information to the NSC If you do not wish to opt out, there is no need for you to take further action. As we work toward the goals of college and career success, we understand the need to help students, families, and schools understand the progress they are making. Toward that end, we are working to address two critical needs: 1) Helping students and families applying to college complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), which is required to receive many forms of financial aid to pay for college. I am the student listed below, and am age 18 or over. I do NOT want my name, grade level and date of birth released to the National Student Clearinghouse. I am the parent or guardian of the student listed below, who is under age 18. I do NOT want my child’s name, grade level and date of birth released to the National Student Clearinghouse. Parent/guardian signature if student is under age 18 2) Helping schools understand information about their high school graduates’ college success so teachers and principals can better align the high school program with expectations for college readiness. Student signature if student is age 18 or above PLEASE COMPLETE IN FULL IF YOU HAVE MADE ANY OF THE ABOVE OPT OUTS: To accomplish these goals, the DOE is working together with the U.S. Department of Education and the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC), which provides information on high school graduates’ college performance. In order for the DOE to collect data and information on FAFSA completion and college enrollment from the U.S. Department of Education and the NSC, the DOE will be sharing names, addresses, grade levels and dates of birth of students. For the DOE to do this, federal law regarding student privacy requires us to provide you with notice and an opportunity for you to instruct the DOE not to release this information. Student Name: OSIS #: Parent/Guardian Name: Name of School (and Borough): Grade: Date of Birth (MM/DD/YYYY): Home Address: We are therefore providing the attached "opt out" forms for families who do not want to share student information. Only students and families that wish to exercise that right to opt out need to complete the form. If you completed an opt out last year concerning these designations, your opt-out remains effective and there is no need to resubmit this form. If you did not previously complete the opt out form and wish to do so now, please read the attached opt out form, and if you do not want information released about you (if you are an adult) or about your child or children (if they are under age 18), please complete it as indicated. Telephone Number: Email Address: FOR 2013-2014 STUDENTS: RETURN THIS ENTIRE FORM TO YOUR OR YOUR CHILD’S SCHOOL While the DOE believes that using this information to support student transitions is worthwhile, we understand that in doing so we must respect individual student privacy. If you have any questions about the attached forms, or the efforts of you or your child’s school to prepare you or your child for college and careers, you may contact the school for additional information. Thank you, New York City Department of Education 10 Keep your kids safe. Get their seasonal flu vaccines every year. Seasonal Flu: A Guide for Parents Is seasonal flu more serious for kids? Infants and young children are at a greater risk for getting seriously ill from the flu. That’s why the New York State Department of Health recommends that all children 6 months and older get the seasonal flu vaccine. Flu vaccine may save your child’s life. Most people with seasonal flu are sick for about a week, and then they feel better. But, some people, especially young children, pregnant women, older people, and people with chronic health problems can get very sick. Some can even die. A flu vaccine is the best way to protect your child from seasonal flu. It is recommended for everyone 6 months and older. What is seasonal flu? The flu, or influenza, is an infection of the nose, throat, and lungs. The flu can spread from person to person.

What are signs of the flu? The flu comes on suddenly. Most people with the flu feel very tired and have a high fever, headache, dry cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, and sore muscles. Some people, especially children, may also have stomach problems and diarrhea. The cough can last two or more weeks. How does the flu spread? People who have the flu usually cough, sneeze, and have a runny nose. The droplets in a cough, sneeze or runny nose contain the flu virus. Other people can get the flu by breathing in these droplets or by getting them in their nose or mouth. How long can a sick person spread the flu to others? What should I use to clean hands?
