Saturday Academy 

PNA Field Day & Activities Fair
This school year’s first Field Day will take place on Friday, September 28th. The Field Day will include an Activities Fair, where students will be able to sign-up for afterschool and lunchtime clubs/activities that they are interested in. Instead of attending Department and Grade Team Meetings, all staff members will be participating in Field Day activities. A sign-up sheet will be placed with the sign-in sheet in the morning. Please sign-up for an activity that you are interested in. If you have questions about the Field Day, contact Mr. Torres at:
Saturday Academy
This year, PNA will be running a Saturday Academy throughout the school year. Students have been scheduled for core classes in order to earn missing credits. With the changes in the Academic Policy Guidelines, and the limitations around credit recovery, Saturday Academy is now a very important way for students to make-up classes that they need towards graduation. Students have received their schedules and phone calls are being made. Please have conversations with your students and parents about the importance of this program.
Look Like a Student (REMINDER)
Part of the PNA PBIS program asks students to “Look Like a Student”. This includes hats off, pants pulled up, back-packs off, heads up, and following the PNA dress code. Please ensure that all students “look like students” in your classrooms at all times. Ensure you address any student who has their head down.
PNA Email Groups (REMINDER)
One advantage of the new @pablonerudaacademy.org email addresses is the increased ability to quickly email a group. There are several groups that you can use (such as grade teams, departments, administration, etc.). A list of available groups can be found on the second page of the document found at the following link:
New York Cares Day @ PNA
Save the date! PNA will be hosting our second New York Cares Day on Saturday, October 13th. Volunteers will be working on projects around the campus, most importantly the re-painting of the gym corridor. This will once again be an amazing opportunity for our school to come together with students, staff, and families of schools on the campus, as well as volunteers from all over NYC and beyond and work on improving our campus. Staff participation is needed and strongly encouraged. More details will be communicated in the coming weeks. See Mr. Barnes (cbarnes@pablonerudaacademy.org) if you have questions.
Staff IDs
All staff members need a PNA Staff ID in order to enter the building (both through the lobby and staff entrance in the back of the building). Contact Pedro (pbatista@pablonerudaacademy.org) if you have not received an ID.
