Update Bulletin Boards (Action Required)
Please ensure bulletin boards are updated and reflect current student work for parent teacher conferences.  A Physical Space Walkthrough will be conducted at the end of the day on Monday, March 23rd.  See page 71 of the PNA Staff Handbook for additional information on bulletin board expectations: https://drive.google.com/a/pablonerudaacademy.org/file/d/0B3PxGWud2LygbTFKVG5OZGtiZDg/edit
Parent Outreach (Action Required)
Please ensure that you are reaching out to parents when students are not meeting classroom expectations in preparation for parent conferences, and continue to document the outreach on Skedula.  Administration will be pulling data from Skedula to ensure that all teachers are communicating to parents consistently.  If you are not using Skedula to document outreach, you will be required to submit phone call logs when asked.
Parent-Teacher Conferences
Parent-Teacher Conferences take place Thursday evening and Friday afternoon.  Under the new contract, the conferences in the evening have been extended from two and a half hours to three hours.  As you speak with parents throughout the week, please encourage them to attend.  Report Cards will be distributed during the conferences.  Dinner will be provided for all staff.
Professional Development Survey (Action Required)
The Lesson Plan and supporting documents for the March 13th PD may be accessed at the following link: https://drive.google.com/a/pablonerudaacademy.org/file/d/0B3PxGWud2LygMVdxU0djZ0M0M0k/view?usp=sharing.
We ask that all teachers fill out the PD survey that may be found at the following link:
End of Day Procedures
Due to the distribution of cell phones, students have an urge to leave the classroom early in order to get their electronics before everyone else.  To help the staff maintain 8th period, we have installed a bell to signal the end of the day.  Only then may students be released from the classroom.
Field Trip – Phone collection
While our electronic policy has changed, our field trip phone collection policy for trips has not.  It is still expected that teachers plan to collect phones for students that are going on a trip, and redistribute it to the students once they leave the building.
School Survey - Student
The NYC School Survey that the students fill out online have arrived.   Please continue having students complete the surveys in SLC.  As in past years, there will be a pizza party for the grade that has the highest submission rate.  In order to be included in the tally, please submit completed surveys to Ms. Heller. The deadline for students to complete the survey is April 2nd.  If you have any questions about the school survey, please contact Ms. Heller.
