PNA Field Day and Activities Fair

Thank you to the entire staff for contributing to a successful Field Day and Activities Fair. It was well attended by students and they enjoyed the food and games. Many students expressed interest in and signed up for afterschool activities.

Afterschool Activities Begin

Afterschool activities begin this week. More information will be communicated throughout the week. Please post information in your classrooms and share with your students.

Monthly Staff Meeting

This Wednesday, October 6th is our first Staff Meeting. Staff meetings take place two Wednesdays a month. The entire staff will meet this Wednesday to review the school calendar and allow teams to share their work and progress towards the teams’ goal. The meeting will take place at 2:55 (after Department Meetings) in room 485.

Showcasing Student Work

Students feel a sense of pride and ownership of their environment when their great work is showcased. An essential element of a well-developed Physical Space (PNA Instructional Framework area #4) is that “student work is showcased both inside and outside of the room”. Please ensure that you are attending to this important area of the Instructional Framework. Hallway bulletin board assignments are in the appendix of the PNA Staff Handbook. Please see me (scook6@schools.nyc.gov) if you have questions or need assistance.

Staff College List (Reminder)

In an effort to create a college readiness culture at PNA, we will be displaying staff college information for students to read. This year we are collecting the information through an online survey. To take this survey, click the following link: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/BP5LPTK

Performance Series & Kaleidoscope Make-Up Testing (Reminder)

Performance Series make-up testing will continue this week during 9th period. Students who did not finish or who were absent on the day of testing will be scheduled to take the test during this time. English and Math teachers will receive more information this week.
