					<title><![CDATA[Notification Regarding the City's Comprehensive Plan to Address PCBs]]></title>
					<link>http://www.siths.org/apps/bbmessages/show_bbm.jsp?REC_ID=57855</link>
					<guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.siths.org/apps/bbmessages/show_bbm.jsp?REC_ID=57855</guid>
					
						<description><![CDATA[Dear School Community:<br><br>Last year, we announced a comprehensive plan to replace lighting fixtures containing (polychlorinated biphenyls) PCBs in schools. PCBs were used in new and upgraded buildings across the country between 1950 and 1978, including schools.  In 1978, the federal government banned the manufacture of PCBs in building materials but, until recently, provided little guidance on how to identify and handle materials in existing buildings that may have PCBs.  <br><br>Last July, New York City began a ten-year comprehensive plan to remove PCB-containing fixtures and install new lighting retrofits, free of PCBs.  The plan will also increase the energy efficiency and environmental quality of City school buildings.  Our work will take place outside of school hours, to minimize the disruption to students and staff.  <br><br>We are sending this letter to inform you that our school building has been identified as having lighting fixtures that are likely to include PCB-containing materials, in a component known as a lighting ballast.   Therefore, we will be receiving a PCB-free lighting retrofit at some point during the next nine years. To see a list of buildings where lighting replacement work is in progress as well as a list of buildings where such work has been completed, go to http://www.nycsca.org/Community/Programs/EPA-NYC-PCB/Pages/default.aspx (in English only).<br><br>It is important to emphasize that there is no immediate health risk to the occupants of school buildings with PCB-containing lighting ballasts.  The City’s Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) has advised that there is no immediate health concern; health effects from long-term exposure to the air in school buildings are unlikely to occur at the PCB levels seen in City schools.  Additionally, in a New York Times article on this issue, doctors from Mount Sinai School of Medicine stated, “PCBs at the levels found in most schools in New York City today will not make any child or any teacher acutely ill.  In fact, compared with air levels reported in some other studies, air levels reported in NYC schools have been quite low.” <br><br>The DOE is actively working with its schools to address this issue and will keep us updated as the retrofitting plan is implemented at our building.  Please visit the DOE’s website if you have further questions.  http://www.nycsca.org/Community/Programs/EPA-NYC-PCB/Pages/default.aspx (in English only).<br><br>Sincerely,<br><br>Mr. Maniscalco<br>Principal<br>]]></description>

					<link>http://www.siths.org/apps/bbmessages/show_bbm.jsp?REC_ID=47329</link>

						<description><![CDATA[<DIV><STRONG>Pupil Path &#8211; One Username, One Password: Communication Across the School Community</STRONG></DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV>Over the past few years, Staten Island Tech has introduced and utilized various web-based services for maintaining communications with our students, parents and teachers for many purposes. </DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV><STRONG>For example: </STRONG></DIV> <DIV><STRONG></STRONG></DIV> <DIV>&#8226; SITHS Website (www.siths.org) which is an excellent resource for viewing information regarding upcoming events, news items, homework assignments, PTA information, and much more. </DIV> <DIV>&#8226; Naviance (https://connection.naviance.com/fc/signin.php?hsid=siths) searching for careers and colleges, as well as facilitating the entire College Application process. </DIV> <DIV>&#8226; Easy Grade Pro / Edline (www.edline.net), which enables students and parents the ability to view their class grades and progress. </DIV> <DIV>&#8226; Daedalus, designed to provide you with additional parent/guardian/student requested information such as: </DIV> <DIV>&#8226; Daily Attendance </DIV> <DIV>&#8226; Marking Period Report Cards </DIV> <DIV>&#8226; Unofficial Transcripts </DIV> <DIV>&#8226; Intermediate &amp; High School Standardized Test Score History </DIV> <DIV>&#8226; Facilitate the further development of our paperless communications system </DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV>While we are proud to offer these services, we did make a statement at various PTA meetings this year that the PRIMARY GOAL was to condense the number of web-based services we are using to ONE, providing all information on ONE website with ONE username and ONE password. The expectation as to fulfilling this goal was long term with years anticipated to achieve. This was the case until we were approached by the company Datacation and introduced to a powerful service called Pupil Path. To our surprise, the ability to see this goal to fruition had become an instant reality. The end result is Phase One of migrating to one website. </DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV>As of February 1, 2011, SI Tech is using Pupil Path for the following services: </DIV> <DIV>&#8226; Daily Attendance &#8211; Absence/Present for School (Previously Daedalus) </DIV> <DIV>&#8226; Real Time Class/Period Attendance &#8211; See live attendance as each class/period proceeds. (<EM>New Feature</EM>) </DIV> <DIV>&#8226; Daily HW Postings with Live Instant Grade Feedback (<EM>Previously www.siths.org, but without instant grades</EM>) </DIV> <DIV>&#8226; Real Time Feedback on HW and Assessment Completion/Grades. (<EM>New Feature</EM>) </DIV> <DIV>&#8226; Progress Reports (<EM>Previsouly Edline-Easy Grade Pro</EM>) </DIV> <DIV>&#8226; Upcoming Event Schedule (<EM>Previously www.siths.org</EM>) </DIV> <DIV>&#8226; Marking Period Report Cards (<EM>Previously Daedalus</EM>) </DIV> <DIV>&#8226; Unofficial Transcripts (<EM>Previously Daedalus and ARIS</EM>) </DIV> <DIV>&#8226; Intermediate &amp; High School Standardized Test Score History (<EM>Previously Daedalus and ARIS</EM>) </DIV> <DIV>&#8226; E-Mail Teacher, Guidance Counselors and Administration (<EM>Previously www.siths.org</EM>) </DIV> <DIV>&#8226; Facilitate the further development of our paperless communications system (<EM>all websites)</EM>  <DIV>&#8226; Homework Submissions (<EM>Coming September</EM>)</DIV></DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV>On February 2nd, all students received STUDENT and PARENT registration codes to Pupil Path. Nearly 100% of our teachers are using this service for the above listed features. The S.I. Tech website will remain for web presence and it&#8217;s communicative features, but HW will no longer be posted there. In essence, we have replaced FOUR websites with ONE. Naviance also remains because of its powerful College Admissions features and paperless application process.</DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV>There will be support and training meetings for teachers, students and parents throughout the spring, so stay tuned.</DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV>If you are a parent, and haven&#8217;t received your Pupil Path account activation code, simply e-mail Barbara Malenfant at: <A href="mailto:BMalenfant@schools.nyc.gov">BMalenfant@schools.nyc.gov</A> . She will be glad to assist you. </DIV>]]></description>
