PD Survey (Reminder)
Please fill out the PD Survey Form for the Staff PD DOK learning objectives.  The form can be accessed on the following link:
School Survey - Student
The NYC School Survey that the students fill out online has arrived.   Students will be completing the surveys in SLC and we will be contacting SLC/Health teachers on the procedures.  As in past years there will be a pizza party for the grade that has the highest submission rate.  The deadline for students to complete the survey is April 2nd.  If you have any questions about the school survey please contact Ms. Heller.
Spring Clubs and Activities
Spring lunchtime and afterschool activities have begun.  Please promote these clubs to your students.  A full list, including days and times, will be released next week.
College and Career resources
Ilearn has partnered with Gale TERC(Testing Educational Resource Center) to provide free resources for college and career readiness that include free online AP practice exams as well as online textbooks.  This is a great resource to use to support our high achieving students even if you are not teaching an AP class.  In order to access the materials, you need to complete a simple registration.  The resources can be found at the following link:
Parent Outreach (Reminder)
Please ensure that you are reaching out to parents when students are not meeting classroom expectations.  Parents on the School Leadership Team noted that the communication they receive from teachers vary from non-existent to once a week.  Please ensure that we work as a team and spread the work load to make as many calls as possible.  Continue to document the outreach on Skedula. 
Student Chairs(Reminder)
All teachers must ensure student chairs are put up at the end of each day. Additionally, all student chairs should be taken down at the beginning of each day. Leaving chairs on desks creates a safety hazard for students. Please have students take down all chairs, even if no one will be sitting in the chair during the period.
Youth Court Referrals (Reminder)
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).
Pamela Lopez’s contact information
Pamela will be taking childcare leave starting next week for one calendar year.  She would like to wish PNA much luck and happiness while she is away.  She also wanted to share her personal contact information: pamtlh@gmail.com, 917-259-8143
