Field Day


PNA Field Day
This school year’s first Field Day will take place Friday, October 10th. Instead of attending Department and Grade Team Meetings, all staff members will be participating in Field Day Activities.  A sign-up sheet will be placed with the sign-in sheet in the morning.  Please sign-up for an activity that you are interested in.  If you have questions about Field Day, contact Mr. Torres (ttorres@pablonerudaacademy.org).
Safety and Discipline Support (ACTION REQUIRED)
Please continue to be at the classroom doors and getting students into the classroom.  Your contribution in the hallways is greatly appreciated.  Also please synchronize your personal time keeping devices to the school clock.  There have been some instances where classes have been opened late which has caused some safety challenges.  Also please do not give bathroom passes out in the first 10 or last 10 minutes of the period.  Bathrooms are locked at that time.
General Response Protocol (GRP) – Evacuation and Re-Entry
During an evacuation teachers need to take with them the Assembly Card, as well as the class attendance.  Teachers then lead students out of the building.  Once outside, it is expected that you use the Assembly Card and stay with your class.  Upon Re-Entry of the building, you should lead your class to the scanning area by the general parking lot before you enter the building.  If you have any questions about the General Response Protocol, please refer to the GRP Poster in your classroom or contact Ms. Del Valle (jdelvalle@pablonerudaacademy.org).
Parent Involvement Time (Reminder)
During our first PD session, all teachers were required to select their Parent Involvement day (Tuesday or Thursday).  Please be advised that on your Parent Involvement day you may not collect per session until 3:30PM.  If you need to change your day, please contact Mr. Liu.
You may find your official day with the following link:
Look like a Student (Reminder)
Part of the PNA PBIS program asks students to “Look Like a Student.”  This includes hats off, pants pulled up, heads up, and following the PNA dress code.  Please ensure that you consistently promote all your students to “Look Like Students” in your classrooms at all times.
Health Notification/Health Benefits Program                                                                                                                                                   
The Building Response Team is in charge of student and staff emergencies.  If you have any medical conditions that may require special treatment during an emergency, please inform Ms. Del Valle (jdelvalle@pablonerudaacademy.org). This information is vital if you were to experience a medical emergency on campus.

The Fall 2014 Health Benefits program Transfer Period for City employees will be October 1st through October 31st.  During this period, employees may transfer into any health plan for which they may be eligible, add or drop Optional Rider Coverage, or add or drop dependents in their present plan.  More information can be found at the following links:
