Achieve 3000
If there is a new student who needs access to Achieve 3000 or if you need information on student sign in information please contact Mr. Valencia (DValencia@pablonerudaacademy.org).  
Student Expectations
Please reinforce with your students our school-wide expectations for hats off and having a pass to leave the classroom.  Teachers, please remember to leave the bathroom passes pass in the corresponding classroom.
Field Trip Request
Please be advised that field trip request should be made at least two weeks in advance.  This will allow ample time for admin to ensure the date does not interfere with other events, as well as time to set up transportation and permission slips. 
End of day procedures (Reminder)
All teachers should ensure that students do not leave class before the end of the day bell rings at 3:00PM.  The tone and culture of every class should promote students asking for permission to leave the classroom, and not that students can freely walk in and out of class during the lesson and at the end of the day.  All teachers must also 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.  
Procedures for signing in and out  (Reminder)
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. 
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.
