1st Week Weekly Attendance Sheets (ACTION REQUIRED)
All teachers received weekly attendance sheets that were printed on yellow paper.  Please take attendance for the first week of the spring semester from your own records and submit it with your regular weekly attendance.  There will be no attendance confirmations generated for the first week of the semester.
Re-Submit Curriculum Maps
The Accreditation Committee is completing the review of ELA curriculum maps. In order to assist with the approval process and support achievement of the committee’s goal of approving maps after one or two reviews, please re-submit curriculum maps (to Ms. Cook) if you have updated them. Particular attention should be paid to essential questions, performance tasks, and a thorough alignment to the Common Core State Learning Standards. The Committee uses a protocol and rubric to review and give feedback on maps. Please reference these resources and ensure your map meets all criteria. The protocol and rubric can be found at the following links:

Protocol for Developing Quality Curriculum Maps:
Teachers who need support with this process can contact their department’s Accreditation Committee representative. The representatives are: Ms. Payne-Baader (ELA), Ms. Cohen (Math), Mr. Dinner (Social Studies), Ms. Lynch (Science), Ms. Molloy (Spanish), Ms. O’Connell (Arts), Mr. Barnes (SpEd), Ms. Lebron (Guidance), Ms. Cook, Mr. Liu, and Ms. Heller. Contact Ms. Cook (scook@pabloneruaacademy.org) if you have questions.
Condition of Classrooms (REMINDER)
Physical space walkthroughs are frequently conducted at the end of the school day. All teachers should ensure that their rooms are left orderly at the end of the day. This includes desks organized, chairs up, all technology (i.e. projector and laptop, desktop computers, etc.) turned off, air conditioners turned off, windows closed, lights off, and door closed and locked. Laptop carts should be locked, plugged in, and away from doors. Feedback will be sent to individual teachers as needed. Contact Ms. Cook (scook@pablonerudaacademy.org) if you have questions.
Classroom Doors (REMINDER)
All doors should remain locked anytime there is no one in the room. Ensure doors are locked even if being left vacant briefly. Please notify administration immediately if a door is broken or not able to be locked. Also ensure laptop carts are locked and away from door windows at the end of each day. Contact Mr. Liu (dliu@palbonerudaacademy.org) if you have questions.
Bathroom Passes and Classroom Logs (REMINDER)
All classrooms are required to have a log of students who are allowed to leave with the bathroom pass. This can be the same log that is used to record late students. Please ensure that your classroom has a bathroom log and that all students are required to sign-out when they are taking the pass to leave the classroom.
