A Differentiation walkthrough will be conducted during the week of May 6th. Data will be collected through an observation of lesson plans. As always, teachers should ensure lesson plans are easily accessible. The links below give details on the areas of focus for the walkthrough:

Student Library Cards
Our Campus has been selected to participate in a pilot program sponsored by the DOE and NYC public libraries.  This initiative gives all our students a library card that they can use at our Campus library and any other NYC public library.  They can link their current card to this one and take advantage of the privileges this new card provides (one highlight is there are no fines). The student library cards (labeled with each student's name) were given to English teachers.  Our Campus librarian, Marge Whitehead, can answer any questions students may have.
NYSESLAT Testing Continues
NYSESLAT Testing runs through Friday, May 17th. Students may be pulled from your class for testing during this time. See Ms. Heller (aheller@pablonerudaacademy.org) if you have questions. The schedule can be found at the following link:
