Professional Development HW (Reminder) –
Your homework for the December 12th staff PD is to select one academic word from DOK 3 and 4 and be prepared to discuss strategies used in class to support these terms.  You may access the DOK resource folder that includes the DOK PD Template that was completed by each department at the following link:
Professional Development Opportunity
Our campus librarian has secured a training program for high school teachers that offer primary sources, informational texts, and visual history testimony from witnesses to help teach about the Holocaust and address academic standards.  While this is geared toward Social Studies and English Teachers, any teacher is welcome to attend.  Upon completion of the PD, you will receive free access to numerous resources.  Please let Mr. Liu (dliu@pablonerudaacademy.org) know by Wednesday November 26th if you are interested so we can reserve a spot for you.  The training will take place on a Monday in December or January after school.
Campus Announcements
Office of School Food and Nutrition
As of this week the cafeteria will no longer offer food for sale to staff for either Breakfast or Lunch.

Custodians
If an unforeseen incident requires you to leave your vehicle overnight in the parking lot, please inform an administrator so that custodians do not have to search the building for you, before locking down the building.
Safety – Removal of Students; Bathroom Passes (Reminder)
For the proper protocol in regards to Student Removals, please refer to the PNA Staff Handbook (Page 38).  There have been incidents where the immediate removal of a student has been abused.  You may view the PNA Staff Handbook at the following link: https://drive.google.com/a/pablonerudaacademy.org/file/d/0B3PxGWud2LygbTFKVG5OZGtiZDg/edit

Bathroom passes are not to be given during the first 10 or last 10 minutes of the period.  If you are in need of a replacement pass please use the supply request form in order to obtain a new one.  While waiting for the replacement, you must use a written pass for the class.
Youth Court Referrals
The PNA Youth Court is a great alternative to traditional disciplinary action.  If you have a situation where you believe an alternative disciplinary action may be a superior response, please use the Youth Court Referral form.  The form can be accessed at the form page on our PNA google site. (https://sites.google.com/site/pablonerudaacademynyc/pna-meeting-notes). If you have any questions about the Youth Court, please contact Mr. Dinner (ldinner@pablonerudaacademy.org) or Ms. O’Connell (hoconnell@pablonerudaacademy.org).
