Important Safety Reminder and Procedures

Dear Newsome family,

I hope this message finds you well. I want to take this opportunity to reiterate the importance of maintaining a safe environment on our campus. Yesterday, department heads received updates regarding safety protocols, and we all must remain vigilant.

Please be attentive to any adults on campus who do not have identification. If you encounter anyone wandering without an ID, or just wondering around ask them to present it. If they cannot provide it, please escort them to the main office and contact the administration, deputy, or me directly at 813-380-5711. Additionally, do not hesitate to involve the deputy if necessary. Our primary goal is to prevent unauthorized individuals from accessing our campus.

Before they can enter our campus, every visitor must enter through the main office and be officially checked in through the district system. There is no exception to this procedure!

As a reminder, we have established specific procedures to enhance our safety measures. Please make sure you are following our "High 5" guidelines:

1. Visibly display ID Badges at all times.
2. Visibly display Centegix Badges at all times.
3. Lock all doors throughout the day; no exceptions.
4. Display Site-Threat Continuum Posters prominently.
5. Mark hard corners for safety.


I would also like to inform you that state representatives have visited schools to assess safety measures. Last week alone, 22 schools were evaluated, and they are identifying areas of concern that could lead to citations or reports of violations shared with the state and district. The visit will continue!

If you have any immediate questions or concerns, please contact me, Deputy Grey, or Mr. Haygood.

Thank you for being so committed to keeping our school safe. Together, we can ensure a secure environment for everyone.


Student Books

Teachers,

If you checked books out to any students during 1st semester, please make sure that you have scanned them back in when they were returned. We will be running another textbook report in February and want to make sure that we don't have students show up with debt unnecessarily. This only applies to semester courses.

Thank you,

Grant

Computer Updates and Syncs

Newsome staff,

I attached the step by step on how to update and sync your laptops. The TA classes have been taught the steps on how to do this as well. However, you may want to print the attachment out for future reference. Also, I am attaching the tech request form. Please place this form on any laptop that will be turned into me for repair. A box has been added to this form for TA assistance in updating and syncing your laptop. If you would like a TA to come to your classroom and help with updating and syncing, please fill out the form, check the box for update and sync, and turn the form into the copy den box in back of the media center. This will be picked up with the copies and Mrs. Hiscock or Mrs. Wulff will send the TA's to your room.

New to HCPS: YMHFA - Everyone Must have this completed.

Team Hillsborough,

The Florida Department of Education (FDOE) has selected the evidenced-based Youth Mental Health First Aid (YMHFA) training to comply with section (s.) 1012.584, Florida Statutes (F.S.), continuing education and in-service training for youth mental health awareness and assistance. The YMHFA course introduces common mental health challenges for youth and teaches a 5-step action plan for how to help youth in both crisis and non-crisis situations.

HB 1421 - School Safety, requires that school districts annually certify, beginning July 1, 2023, that at least 80% of HCPS school personnel have received the mandatory youth mental health awareness training.

Ensuring that staff have completed YMHFA is crucial for our district to be in compliance. In-person and virtual trainings are available for employees to self-register in the Professional Development System (PDS). Courses for Spanish speaking employees are also available on PDS.

For questions regarding your status of course completion, please contact your site administrator who can assist with this information. Employees may also check their professional development records located in the Staff Hub to indicate whether the YMHFA course has been completed.

Thank you so much for your cooperation and supporting the mental wellness of our students and families. I appreciate your immediate attention and continued work for our children.

Re-Certification: Youth Mental Health First Aid (YMHFA) Re-Certification Courses

The YMHFA Re-Certification course is ONLY applicable to staff who have been trained in the 6-hour Youth Mental Health First Aid course, which expires three years from the certification date. Eligible staff must be within 3 months of their expiration date or have an expired certification. The YMHFA Re-Certification course is a 90-minute self-paced course on an online platform that enrolled participants will be given access to. The self-paced re-certification course is voluntary and will allow you to remain certified. It does not require an instructor and will not include a stipend. Once the course is completed, staff will receive a new Certificate of Completion for download. This certificate must be submitted to be awarded two hours of PD (Professional Development) points. PLEASE see link below for available course numbers and dates.
