Quality Review Schedule

Our Quality Review is this Wednesday and Thursday. The tentative schedule is attached to this week’s Weekly Update email. Please see Ms. Cook (scook6@schools.nyc.gov) if you have any questions or concerns.

Floor Cleaning

Classroom floors will be cleaned on Tuesday night. Please assist the custodian by ensuring that all chairs are put up on desks before you leave on Tuesday. If you require assistance with this task, see Mr. Liu (dliu2@schools.nyc.gov).

Teacher Item Analysis Data Reflection

All teachers whose students took a Regents or Interim Assessment should complete a reflection. The purpose is to help you begin to think about how students with similar needs can be grouped in your classes, as well as the skills and concepts that need to be reviewed and re-taught. Completed reflections should be submitted to your Department Head (preferably in electronic format). If you need assistance with this form, see Ms. Heller (aheller7@schools.nyc.gov). The form was attached to this week’s Weekly Update email.

9th Period English Posting

PNA is looking for a 9th period English teacher. The posting was attached to this week’s Weekly Update email. Applications and questions should be directed to Mr. Liu (dliu2@schools.nyc.gov).

Respect for All Month in Advisories

Beginning Monday, February 7th the focus for advisories will be “Respect for All” for the remainder of the month of February. All advisors should have received materials from The Leadership Program. Copies of student materials will be provided. All student work products should be submitted to Ms. Heller as they are completed. If you have questions or did not receive your materials, see Ms. Heller (aheller7@schools.nyc.gov).

Library Survey

The Stevenson Campus library is open for teachers to take their classes. Our librarian (Ms. Whitehead) has created a survey to gather information on how the library can be a better place for our students. Please take a moment to fill out a quick survey, which can be found at the following link: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/VB6CRBN. In addition, check out the library’s website at: http://www.aeseclibrary.org/ .

Emergency Lesson Plans

Per the PNA Staff Handbook, three days worth of lesson plans should be submitted to Mr. Liu to be kept on file in the Main Office. These will only be used if you are unexpectedly absent and cannot leave more timely work for your students. The plans should relate to your content area and should be adaptable for use at any time during the semester. With your lesson plans you should include directions, all necessary copies for students, and relevant information. These should be submitted immediately.

Program Change Process (Reminder)

All students will follow their new schedules. If a student is requesting a change to their program, they must fill out a Program Change Request form with their advisor during an advisory period. Advisors should submit completed forms to Mr. Liu’s mailbox. Students must follow their current program until they are notified that a change has been made to their schedule. Please do not send students to the office if they are requesting a change.
