PNA Family Night
The last Family Night for the 2012-2013 school year will take place Thursday the 30th. All staff members are encouraged to attend. The night will include an Art Show, Talent Show, awards ceremony (including an induction of our first National Honor Society inductees and a ring ceremony for seniors ), and a PTA meeting (which will include elections for next year). Contact Ms. Heller (aheller@pablonerudaacademy.org) with questions.
Staff Luncheon
As in the past, on June 6th’s PD day PNA will have a staff luncheon. This luncheon will be a potluck. Everyone is encouraged to bring a dish to share. Mr. Torres will be coordinating this event. Staff will be asked to sign-up to bring something to share. Contact Mr. Torres (ttorres@pablonerudaacademy.org) if you have any questions.
Prom
This year’s Senior Prom will take place on Wednesday, June 5th from 7pm to 11pm at Split Rock Golf Course in the Bronx. Students are paying $80 and staff are offered a discounted rate of $40 to attend. It will be an amazing time for students and staff. It is fast approaching! See Ms. Heller to purchase your tickets.
License Plate Collection
As a result of the high volume of cars parking in the main campus parking lot behind the building as well as several other safety concerns (including cars parking illegally, blocking access for deliveries to the kitchen, etc.), several changes will now take place. Staff members’ car license plates are required to be registered with the school. Parking spaces will be re-painted and cars are only allowed to park in appropriately designated spaces. Cars parking in handicapped parking spaces are required to display a state. Shield. Parking will continue to be on a first come basis. All other cars must utilize street parking. In the near future, the campus will be provided services of a private contractor to tow illegally parked or unregistered cars. Retrieval of cars and expense for towing is the responsibility of the owner. To register your car’s license plate, see the following form: 
Contact Mr. Liu (dliu@pablonerudaacademy.org) if you have questions.
PNA School Calendar Correction
Some versions of the PNA School calendar incorrectly list Tuesday, June 11th as the last day of the 5th marking period. The last instructional day for the 5th marking period is Monday, June 10th. Regents exams begin on Tuesday, June 11th. 5th marking period grades will still be due on Friday, June 14th.
Classroom Windows and Air Conditioners
As the weather warms, all staff should check to ensure all windows are closed and air conditioners are turned off before leaving each day.
PNA Staff Invited to a Yankees Game! (REMINDER)
Mr. Torres is organizing a staff trip to a Yankees game that will take place the evening of Thursday, June 20th. All staff members are invited to attend for only $20. Contact Mr. Torres (ttorres@pablonerudaacademy.org) if you are interested or have questions.
