Outside visitors
On Tuesday May 26th, the Assistant Superintendent (Sabrina Cook) will be visiting our school with two new central DOE staff members.  The purpose of the meeting is to highlight the work that we have been doing at Pablo Neruda Academy to the new staff members.  Ms. Cook will be looking at bulletin boards and visiting classrooms.  Please ensure that you have a printed/written lesson plan available at the door, or at a designated spot in the classroom.
Parent outreach for students in danger of failing
Please ensure that you are reaching out to parents when students are not meeting classroom expectations.  The final marking period will end June 15th.  Parents should not be surprised of student failures once they receive their report card.  We must ensure that they have been contacted and informed.  Ms. Santos (ysantos@pablonerudaacademy.org) is available to assist with the contact and translation.
Installation of Deepfreeze to all student technology
The school will begin installing deepfreeze on all student technology.  The program allows the computer to reset to its original state every time the item is shutdown.  This will mean that all work must be saved on either mobile drives or in the cloud.  If you or your class have documents on the devices that cannot be transferred before the end of the year, please notify Mr. Romero (aromero@pablonerudaacademy.org)
Inappropriate clothing
With the weather getting warmer, this is just a reminder to all staff to inform the safety team or administration when there is a students that is inappropriately dressed.
New Skedula anecdotal option
To help support the work with students and student grouping, we have added a new anecdotal option on Skedula – “Successful Strategies.”  This will allow the PNA community to share successful strategies that work with individual students.  
Summer School
Teachers and Paraprofessionals that are interested in working traditional summer school, and/or any other paid work for schools this summer must apply to do so at the Summer School Online Application.  Completing the application only makes you eligible to be hired for summer positions, and does not guarantee work.  The Summer School Online Application may be found at the following link: https://www.nycenet.edu/summerjobs/
Open Market Hiring System
The New York City Open Market Hiring System opened Wednesday, April 15th and will be available through August. The system is used by teachers and other staff to view and apply for opportunities across the city. Once open, the system can be accessed at the following link:
