Holiday Displays (REMINDER)
Please be aware of and sensitive to the significance of seasonal
observances and religious holidays as we work to foster mutual understanding
and respect for our school’s diverse religious, racial, ethnic and cultural
heritages. The Constitution prohibits a school system from endorsing or
promoting a particular religion or belief system. If you are planning on
creating a holiday display for your classroom or engaging in holiday associated
activities with your students, please see Ms. Cook (scook@pablonerudaacadademy.org) for additional information
and guidelines.

Request for Personal Day Form (REMINDER)
Effective immediately, if any staff member is
requesting the use of a personal day, the first step is to fill out the Request
for Personal Day form. Please use this form as a first step as opposed to
verbally requesting approval. See Mr. Liu (dliu@pablonerudaacademy.org) if you have questions. The form can be found on the Forms page of the
PNA website. It can also be found at the following link:

Youth Court Referrals (REMINDER)
The PNA Youth Court is now open and will begin
holding trials. All staff members are encouraged to use the Youth Court
Referral Form to recommend students to the court. Ms. O’Connell and Mr. Dinner
will also be gathering data from Skedula in order to find students who could be
referred. As a reminder, all staff members are strongly encouraged to attend
trials and observe the process. Trials will be held every Tuesday and Thursday
at 3:00. See Mr. Dinner (ldinner@pablonerudaacademy.org) or Ms. O’Connell (hoconnell@pablonerudaacademy.org) if you have questions or are interested in attending a trial. The Youth
