Student Accommodations
Some questions came up this past week regarding testing
accommodations for students with IEPs. To clarify, all students must receive
the appropriate testing accommodations as stated in their IEP. Ms.
Heller shared a document (SpEd Testing Accommodations) via google drive that
outlines each student’s accommodations.
In most cases, students will receive extended time and/or read aloud for
“all state exams and other tests as needed.”
English Language Learners also receive testing accommodations, which
include extended time and use of bilingual glossaries. Please work with your co-teachers to ensure
students are receiving all of their appropriate services.

Procedures for signing
in and out
The protocol and mandates for schools entering
attendance has changed at the school level.
Due to this shift, we have to put in place a slightly different system
so that we can ensure we manage all attendance on our own without central
audits. All staff will be required to
punch in if they arrive late, in addition to signing in. All staff will also be required to punch out
as well as sign out when leaving early.
To help streamline this process, there will be a second timeclock and
set of cards in Ms. Franqui’s office. As
per the staff handbook, the sign in sheet is available at the front desk at
7:30am, please ensure you sign in before 8:00am. If you arrive late to work, please
immediately sign in/punch in with Ms. Franqui (with the time of sign in/punch
in.) With the new protocol, Ms. Franqui
has to mark all staff present daily, which means if you do not sign in you are
automatically marked absent until Ms. Franqui has an opportunity to reverse
it. With the new mandates, I implore all
staff to follow the procedure to avoid potential fines, suspensions, and
terminations that may be levied by central offices.

Attendance 1st
period
A team of teachers, support staff, and leadership met
over the summer to make a decision to no longer flip our 1st and 3rd
period classes. We know that this
decision greatly affects the 1st period classes in our school. The attendance team will be pulling 1st
period attendance from Skedula in order to make automated phone calls to
students that were absent and late for 1st period. This will only be done for classes that
choose to use Skedula for attendance 1st period. If you have any questions or need support
around 1st period attendance, please contact Ms. Del Valle (jdelvalle@pablonerudaacademy.org)

Afterschool &
Lunchtime Activities
In order to offer our extracurricular activities earlier
in the school year, we ask that staff who are interested in starting an after
school and/or lunch time activity fill out the School Activity Proposal Form by
September 18th, 2015. The form can be found at the following link:

Achieve 3000 update
Many of you have asked if Achieve 3000 will be available
this year. Sign-in information will be
given to us next week, and will be communicated to staff via email. All students and all teachers will have
access to the program. If you have any
questions about Achieve 3000 please contact Mr. Valencia (dvalencia@pablonerudaacademy.org).
…
Technology Maintenance
Please be advised that Mr. Romero has installed Deep Freeze
on all school laptops. If a laptop is
not working, please restart the laptop and it will automatically return to the
default settings. Students will have to
save work on USB drives or in the cloud and will not be able to save work
directly on to the laptop. If there are issue
that cannot be solved by Deep Freeze, please use the technology maintenance
form that is located on the PNA Google Site.
…
Classroom Libraries
As was the case last year, all classrooms must have a
classroom library. Contact Ms. Del Valle if you need book shelves or books. If you are moving books to another room or
adding books to your library, please update the PNA Classroom Inventory
Spreadsheet:
