School Surveys
All student surveys have been distributed to SLC and Prep teachers.  Please ensure you are working with students to complete the surveys, and submit completed student survey cards to Ms. Heller.  All submitted surveys are tallied by grade and the grade with the highest submission rate will win a pizza party. Students will be also be receiving their parent survey envelopes this week (if their parent did not attend conferences).  Students who submit their parent's survey will be entered into a drawing for a gift card. Contact Ms. Heller (aheller@pablonerudaacademy.org) if you have questions.

National Honor Society
The Faculty Council selected the first members of the PNA Chapter of the National Honor Society this week.  These students will be celebrated at a breakfast with Ms. Cook on Friday.  Please congratulate the following students on this great accomplishment: Mohammed Sarker, Van Staggers, and Jose Galarza.
SLC Curriculum Updates
This spring, the SLC & College Readiness Team will be revising SLC curriculum. Revisions include adding units on the following topics: technology, career, and college readiness. The team will also work on re-writing 11th grade fall and 12th grade spring curriculum maps. Any staff member interested in participating in curriculum development is encouraged to attend SLC & College Readiness Team meetings. Meetings will begin after Spring Break. Contact Ms. Cook (scook@pablonerudaacademy.org) if you have questions.
Student Chairs (REMINDER)
As previously stated, all teachers must ensure student chairs are put up at the end of each day. Additionally, all student chairs should be taken down at the beginning of each day. Leaving chairs on desks creates a safety hazard for students. Please have students take down all chairs, even if no one will be sitting in the chair during the period.
Attendance Procedures for Students with Related Services (REMINDER)
Students who receive related services (such as speech, counseling, etc.) must have their attendance accounted for. The expectation is for students to report to their class so their attendance can be captured. Service providers will pick students up from their classes. If a student is in your class for any portion of a period, they should be marked present (or late if they arrive late).  Contact Mr. Liu (dliu@pablonerudaacademy.org) if you have questions.
