Quality Review – Physical Space Walkthrough
As a reminder, we will have visitors on Thursday, November 13th who will be observing our instruction and school culture.  Throughout the day admin may be asking for artifacts on behalf of the visitors such as student work, student folders, etc. 

In preparation for the Quality Review we will be doing a Physical Space Walkthrough at the end of business on Monday November, 10th.  Please view the Classroom Responsibilities (Page 49) section of the PNA Staff Handbook.  The handbook can be accessed at the following link: https://drive.google.com/a/pablonerudaacademy.org/file/d/0B3PxGWud2LygbTFKVG5OZGtiZDg/edit
Professional Development Reflection (Action Required)
We ask if teachers could take an anonymous reflection survey on the co-teaching partnerships PD we had on the 4th.  The form can be accessed at the following link:
Benchmark Assignments/Student Work Folders (Action Required)
As a reminder, the first Benchmark Assignment should be added to the Student Work Folders that were provided to you.  If you have any questions about either the assignment or the work folder, please contact your department leader or Ms. Heller (aheller@pablonerudaacademy.org).  The Benchmark Assignment Calendar can be accessed at the following link: https://drive.google.com/a/pablonerudaacademy.org/file/d/0B3PxGWud2LygendZOTg5b1FlbV9weXE0elc2V2d4RnZzbFdB/view
Skedula Resources
We have linked Skedula tips and Pupilpath letters to parents on our PNA Site.  You may access both anytime under the Skedula Resources Tab.  They may also be accessed directly at the following link: https://sites.google.com/site/pablonerudaacademynyc/skedula-resources
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).
