Initial Planning
Conferences (IPC) – Classroom Teachers
All classroom teachers received an invitation to their
initial planning conference. During the
conference we will be discussing your instructional and professional goals, as
well as your overall rating from the previous school year. If you have questions about your IPC, please
contact Mr. Liu.

Emergency Lesson Plans
Three emergency lesson plans are due to Mr. Valencia by Friday,
October 2nd. You may give the
plans via email or hard copy. As a
reminder, the emergency lesson plans are only used during situations where you
and/or your co-teachers are unable to provide work that is related to your
current unit. The expectation is to send
work along with your notice of absence for each occurrence.
…
Update Bulletin Boards -
In preparation for Parent-Teacher Conferences (Family
Night), please ensure bulletin boards are updated. A walkthrough will be conducted at the end of
the day on Monday, September 28th.
As a reminder, a bulletin board does not need to be restricted to the
final product, you may display the process of work that has been occurring in
the classroom that will lead to the final product. You
may refer to the PNA staff handbook for additional information on bulletin
board expectations: https://sites.google.com/site/pablonerudaacademynyc/pna-staff-handbook

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 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)
…
Staff IDs
If you need a new PNA ID card, please see Susan Enright
in the 180 cafeteria before 1st period – OR – in the 160 cafeteria
during 4th and 5th period.
