New York Cares Day @
PNA (REMINDER)
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 or would like to register for the event.
…
Student Work
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.

Assistance with PNA
Recruiting
Teachers, staff, and students are needed to assist with recruiting for
next year. The Bronx High School Fair will take place on Saturday, October 13th
and Sunday, October 14th. Contact Ms. Heller (aheller@pablonerudaacademy.org)
if you are interested in attending.
…
PSATs
PSAT's will be administered on Wednesday, October 17th. All 10th
and 11th grade students will be taking the exam in the morning. 10th
and 11th grade teachers will be proctoring in the morning. Most 9th
and 12th grade students will be out on trips. Additional details
will be communicated shortly. Contact Ms. Heller (aheller@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.

Place Chairs on Desks
at the End of Each Day
In order to support our custodians, effective immediately, please
ensure that your last class places their chairs on their desks before leaving
each day. Contact Mr. Liu if you have questions (dliu@pablonerudaacademy.org).

Course Information
Form
The PNA Accreditation Committee has begun reviewing curriculum maps for
feedback and approval. All teachers should complete the Course Information Form

short form by Friday, October 5th. Contact Ms. Cook (scook@pablonerudaacademy.org) if you have questions. The form can be found at the following link:

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.
