including songs by HPHS sophomore and student of Mandarin, Meredith Whalen,
and students of the Park Cities Chinese School will precede the movie.

1st-year teacher spotlight: Randi Summer
|
|
To welcome educators who are beginning their careers as
teachers, HPISD is featuring a new teacher in each week's enews. Highland
Park ISD Director of Personnel Chris Israelson visited with the teachers to
learn about their favorite moments in HPISD so far.
This week's featured teacher is Randi Summer, math and
support teacher in grades 5-8 at MIS and HPMS.
Before joining the HPISD family, Randi worked as a senior
software engineer and holds a patent on a 3D software model that is used in
the design and manufacturing of Lego, Tupperware, GM cars and the space
station. She soon discovered a passion for working with young people and
teaching them about robotics and other math applications.
After earning her master's degree from SMU, Randi brought
her skills and interests to the MIS/HPMS campus to inspire her students.
She currently serves as the science camp counselor, math team coach and
Destination Imagination manager in addition to her teaching duties.
Her biggest surprise in her young teaching career came when
more than 100 students joined her math team. She said she is looking
forward to working with the many talented students and teachers at
MIS/HPMS.
Congratulations, Randi, and welcome to Highland Park ISD!
The art of teacher
recruitment
One of the many important tasks school principals and
assistant principals are responsible for is the annual hiring, training and
retention of highly qualified professional and paraprofessional educators
and support staff.
It one of the most critical skills a principal must have - the ability to
ascertain the ideal set of experience, teaching skills, values and beliefs
of a teacher candidate. It is both a science and an art, and carries with
it a long-term impact on student achievement. This skill should not be
taken for granted, and HPISD principals should be recognized for the
expertise and diligence they bring to the process.
HPISD has developed its profile of the Educator for
the Future in conjunction with the profile of the Learner for
the Future. No doubt, the strategic planning associated with these two
initiatives will shape the process of hiring and training of new teachers
in HPISD.

MIS students research Southeast Asia, produce films
|
 
Students in Sarah Weatherford's sixth-grade social studies class were
presented with a challenge to research, create and produce a short
documentary about one country in the Southeast Asia region.
The challenge was to create a film to explain life in the country through
the words and daily experiences of a young child from that nation. In
cooperative learning groups, students used Weatherford's online Livebinder
resource collection to study the geography, government, economic systems
and culture of the people living in the country they were assigned.
Students were able to collaborate between school and home by sharing
research and visual content in their Digital Lockers in Gaggle.
Using iMovie on the ExMo Team iPads that were generously provided through
the PC-TAG gift fund, students acted in and directed their own films. The
seven-day process culminated with a glamorous Film Festival where students
spotted "celebrities" such as Macklemore, Justin Bieber, various
Disney princesses and several sharply dressed Hollywood executives in
tuxedos. When all of the votes are in and tallied, a grand prize winners
will be recognized.

Nurses' Corner: preventing the spread of influenza
Our students' health and safety is a top priority to us in
HPISD. The Dallas County Health Department has informed us that influenza activity is currently
high throughout Dallas County, and our Health Services Department would
like to share the following information:
How can I help protect my family from the flu?
By
taking common-sense steps at home and at school, we can prevent the spread
of the flu and other infections:
- Obtain the seasonal flu vaccine.
Influenza vaccine is still available from many doctors' offices,
pharmacies and the Health Department. This year's vaccines are
designed to protect against the the most common influenza viruses:
Influenza A (H1N1) viruses, influenza A (H3N2) viruses and influenza B
viruses.
- Keep your hands clean by
washing frequently with soap and water for at least 15 seconds.
- Cover your mouth and nose
when you cough or sneeze. Wash your hands after coughing or sneezing.
What should I do if I suspect a
family member has contracted the flu:
- Keep the person at home if
he or she develops flu-like symptoms or fever. Children should not
return to school until their fever has been gone for at least 24
hours without the help of anti-fever medicines.
- Contact your health care
provider to receive prompt medical treatment.
- If your family member shows
signs of severe illness - such as difficulty breathing - seek
emergency care.
- Report confirmed H1N1 or
flu-like cases to the campus nurse so the statistical information may
be conveyed to the Health Department. Our nurses will protect every
student's right to medical privacy by not sharing his or her
information with anyone other than Health Department officials.
Click HERE to read the Health
Department letter.
Hand sanitizers are available in all HPISD classrooms, and
we encourage our students and staff to use them frequently. We will continue to work to minimize risks for
all students, staff and community members.
Thank you for helping us to provide a safe learning
environment for all HPISD students.
