Per Session
Timesheets
As you know, our budget is extremely tight this year, and the school has
less money available for per session activities. As a result, we are very
closely monitoring these funds. In order for us to accurately monitor this
money, it is imperative that per session time sheets are submitted on time.
Please be advised that in order to stay eligible for per session activities,
you must submit time sheets on time. Arrangements will need to be made with Ms.
Cook in order to submit a time sheet after the deadline. Contact Ms. Franqui (gfranqui@pablonerudaacademy.org)
if you have any questions.

New York Cares Day
& High School Fair & 3-on-3 Tournament
PNA had three activities last week where teacher participation was
greatly appreciated. Thank you to Mr. Barnes for organizing New York Cares Day.
A thank you also goes out to Ms. Lynch, Ms. Molloy, Mr. Herrera, Ms. Glinski,
Mr. Romero, and Mr. Valencia for helping out. PNA also attended the Bronx High
School Fair on this day. A thank you goes out to Ms. Linares, Mr. Browne, Ms.
Taveras, Mr. Torres, and Ms. Raphael for attending. Finally, we had a 3-on-3 Basketball
Tournament. A thank goes out to Mr. Torres for organizing this event, and Mr.
Herrera, Mr. Batista, Mr. Romero, and Mr. Valencia for participating.
…
Emergency Lesson
Plans Reminder
As stated in the PNA Staff Handbook, emergency lesson plans should only
be used when someone is physically unable to email work (in cases of extreme
emergency). Whenever you are notifying Mr. Liu of an absence, ensure you provide
work that is relevant to what students are currently studying.
…
Student Work
(REMINDER)
As a reminder, this year, all teachers are working with students to
create student work folders. As we enter the second marking period, all
teachers should now be using the student work folders to hold significant
pieces of student work (i.e. essays, projects, etc.). Student work folders
should include the task, work, and assessment. Please also ensure student work
is displayed on bulletin boards both inside and outside of classrooms. See Ms.
Cook (scook@pablonerudaacademy.org) if you have questions.
…
PBIS (REMINDER)
One of the PNA Instructional Expectations focus areas asks all teachers
to fully adopt the PNA PBIS Program in their classrooms. When conducting
observations, administrators are looking for evidence of the integration in the
lesson. All teachers should ensure they are participating. See your Grade Team
Leader if you have any questions.
…
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.
