It is very important to communicate with your child’s teachers. Teachers are the people we parents entrust with the most precious people in our lives -- the people who inspire the strongest emotions (and fears) within us. Just on that basis alone, it makes sense to connect with them. Both teachers and parents are working toward the same end: forming and facilitating the development of your child. Tell the teacher what you know about your child’s interests, skills and history that will help to build a complete picture of who your child is at this moment. Share any information that can affect your child emotionally, mentally or physically. Remember, communicating isn’t only about telling teachers. It’s also about asking and listening. Let the teacher tell you about what he or she knows of your child and how the child is in the classroom. You may get some ideas on how to encourage and extend that learning environment at home as well.

FROM THE PRINCIPAL’S OFFICE

Thank you to our Parent Association which has

generously allocated $14,000 to a variety of school

programs including music, sports science,

publications, and other areas. They are also

graciously sponsoring a Teacher Appreciation

Breakfast on Friday.

After 15 years of advocating for a safer environment

in front of the school, the Department of

Transportation has finally granted our request for a

stop sign and crosswalk across 110th street directly

in front of the school. This stop sign will greatly

improve the safety of students and staff alike when

entering and exiting the school property. Please be

mindful of this new traffic regulation when driving on

110th Street!

Student Government under the direction of Ms.

Kelly is already mapping out their activities for next

year and the year beyond. There will be a new club

wall where students can post their proposals for

clubs they would like start or continue. We will be

looking for advisors for these clubs. Clubs can meet

before or after school and will be compensated a

per session rate. Apply for the postings. We would

like to start clubs in the second week of school to

start building school spirit right away

We are expecting the delivery of approximately 204

new laptop computers during the week of May 14th.

This will allow us create 6 additional laptop carts,

and greatly increase our students access to

technology in the classroom. Funding for these carts

came from the offices of Councilwoman Karen

Koslowitz and Borough President Melinda Katz.

Refugee Youth Summer Academy 2018

Each summer, the International Rescue Committee provides a program for newly arrived refugee, asylee and other immigrant youth ages 5-21 to prepare them to succeed in New York City schools through a supportive and creative learning community. This year, the IRC aims to serve 120 of elementary, middle and high school levels. The students will represent at least 15 nations, and speak 20 languages. Many students will have arrived in the U.S. within the past few months, including children from Afghanistan, Guatemala & Cote d’Ivoire. At RYSA, core academic subject area classes emphasize essential learning skills and English language development. Creative arts, physical education, and life skills classes promote social and emotional well-being, while also infusing opportunities for additional English language learning. Each Friday, students participate in field trips to introduce them to the educational and cultural life of New York. For more information, please see a video about RYSA 2015

Dear parents, guardians, and alums:

Forest Hills High School has an exciting opportunity to teach computer science to our students. Technology is transforming

the world around us and having a computer science education is key to our students being ready for the future job market.

Did you know computer science majors can earn 40% more than the college average? Or that there are currently over

500,000 open computer science positions without qualified talent to fill them? Forest Hills High School is part of the

almost 60% of U.S. high schools who don’t currently offer computer science to most of their students. We’re trying to

change that by partnering with TEALS (Technology Education and Literacy in Schools).

Action We’re Taking

TEALS is a program supported by Microsoft Philanthropies that recruits, mentors, and places passionate technology

professionals into high school classrooms as volunteer instructors. These volunteers bring subject matter expertise and

will join Ms. Amanda Lee in a team-teaching model. TEALS provides training for both parties as well as course outlines

based on successful college courses.

Next year we will be offering “Introduction to Computer Science” thru TEALS. The introductory class is based on the award

-winning UC Berkeley CS10 course and is adapted specifically for high schools.

As a TEALS partner school, Forest Hills High School needs to assist with volunteer recruitment from the computer

science and software engineering fields to team-teach these courses with our teachers. Forest Hills High School will hold

the courses first period to permit the volunteers to attend their regular jobs.

Please help --if you or someone you know works in the computer science or software engineering field and would be

interested in making a difference in our students’ future success, please contact me at 718 268-3137 extension 2410 or

email: RFitzgerald@schools.nyc.gov.

You can read more about TEALS on their website at http://www.tealsk12.org.

I am excited about this opportunity and look forward to hearing from many of you.

Sincerely,

Roz Fitzgerald

Очень важно общаться с учителями вашего ребенка.

Учителя - это люди, которых мы, родители, доверяем самым ценным людям в нашей жизни - людям, которые вдохновляют на нас самые сильные эмоции (и страхи). Только на этой основе имеет смысл связаться с ними. Оба учителя и родители работают в одном направлении: формируют и облегчают развитие вашего ребенка. Расскажите учителю, что вы знаете о своих интересах, навыках и истории вашего ребенка, которые помогут составить полное представление о том, кем является ваш ребенок в данный момент. Поделитесь любой информацией, которая может повлиять на вашего ребенка эмоционально, умственно или физически.

FROM THE PRINCIPAL’S OFFICE

Спасибо нашей родительской ассоциации, которая щедро выделила 14 000 долларов на различные школьные программы, включая музыку, спортивные науки, публикации и другие области. Они также любезно спонсируют завтрак с оценкой Учителя в пятницу.

После 15 лет пропаганды более безопасной среды перед школой Министерство транспорта наконец-то предоставило нам запрос на знак остановки и пешеходный переход через 110-ю улицу непосредственно перед школой. Этот знак остановки значительно улучшит безопасность учащихся и персонала при входе и выходе из школы. Помните об этом новом регулировании движения при движении по 110-й улице!

Студенческое правительство под руководством г-жи Келли уже отображает свою деятельность в следующем году и в следующем году. Будет новая стена клуба, где студенты могут публиковать свои предложения в клубах, которые они хотели бы начать или продолжить. Мы будем искать консультантов для этих клубов. Клубы могут встречаться до или после школы и получать компенсацию за сеанс. Подать заявку на публикации. Мы хотели бы начать клубы на второй неделе школы, чтобы сразу начать строить школьный дух

Мы ожидаем доставку около 204 новых портативных компьютеров в течение недели 14 мая. Это позволит нам создать 6 дополнительных тележек для переносных компьютеров и значительно увеличить доступ наших студентов к технологиям в классе. Финансирование этих телег пришло из кабинетов советника Карен Кословиц и президента города Мелинды Кац.

Сильно видеть. Мы надеемся, что вы можете присоединиться к нам.

Учителя социальных наук начали пересматривать на предстоящих государственных экзаменах. Они используют Castle Learning и другие технологии для быстрого измерения понимания и помогают им делать индивидуальные корректировки. Студенты излагают и разрабатывают эссе, а учителя просят студентов работать вместе, чтобы привлечь внешнюю информацию, которая обогатит их работу. Это все методы, которые помогут учащимся заняться важной работой и помочь им продолжать развивать навыки исторического мышления, в которых они нуждаются

Суббота, 5/19/18 - последний шанс заполнить недостающие лаборатории для Научного класса. Если вам не хватает лабораторных работ, сообщите об этом студенческому кафе с 9:00 до 12:00. У вас есть школьная идентификационная карточка.

Преподаватели ENL могут помочь любому учащемуся на английском языке по любому предмету, особенно для экзаменов, таких как NYSESLAT, Regents и Finals. Назначение не требуется. Студенты могут появиться во время любой из сессий. Расписание обучения ENL доступно на веб-сайте FHHS.

FHHS проведет наш Ужин в номинации «Инновационные спортивные состязания» в среду, 5/23/18 с 17:00 до 21:00 в баре Charisma.
