Classroom Tone & Culture

In order to support an academic culture in all PNA classrooms, all teachers should ensure they are attending to the following:

Students should remove their coats during the class period

-All hats and other head gear should be removed

-No students should have their hoods on their heads

-Headphones (unless being used during the lesson) should be put away

-Students with their heads down should be addressed (if they are not feeling well physically or emotionally, they should be immediately referred to the social work office)

A tone and culture walkthrough will be conducted in all classrooms over the next few weeks. If you have questions or concerns, see Ms. Cook (scook6@schools.nyc.gov).

Smart Boards

PNA is in the process of purchasing Smart Boards for classrooms. If you are interested in a mounted Smart Board in your classroom, email Ms. Cook (scook6@schools.nyc.gov).
