Assessment/Data PD
The KWL charts have been placed directly outside the staff lounge in case you want to examine the artifacts in detail.  As stated during the Assessment/Data PD, we use our lesson plan and unit plan template when planning our PDs.  The lesson plan for our PD can be found at the following link: https://docs.google.com/a/pablonerudaacademy.org/document/d/145XpfYiZOVll1N7FXItVPZ4OVvjKCaEKJWFyF-4K4Cc/edit?usp=sharing
Please help inform our future PD’s by completing our PD Survey for the Assessment/Data PD and the Co-Teaching PD.  The survey may be found at the following link:
Food Drive/Coat Drive
The Youth Service Club will starting their holiday coat drive.  If you would like to donate coats, please see Ms. Reyes-Luciano, Mr. Canales, Mr. Talay, Ms. Hain.  Concurrently, Ms. Santos is collecting cans for City Harvest’s holiday food drive.  If you would like to donate canned foods, please see Ms. Santos.
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 is 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 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)
Update Bulletin Boards -
In preparation for Parent-Teacher Conferences, please ensure bulletin boards are updated.  A walkthrough will be conducted at the end of the day on Monday, November 16th.  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
School Communication Team Announcement
The School Communication team will be managing PNA’s first Twitter account.  The account is meant to be updated regularly so our parents and school community can stay informed of events happening in our school.  If you have a Twitter, you can follow the team @PNA_INFO. If you do not have a Twitter account, you can access the tweets at the following link: https://twitter.com/PNA_INFO. #PNA
Safety and Discipline Support
Please continue to be at the classroom doors to get students into the classroom.  Your support will allow safety and support staff to focus on more serious offenses that may occurred.
General Response Protocol (GRP) – Evacuation and Re-Entry
During an evacuation, teachers need to take with them the Assembly Card, as well as the class attendance.  Teachers then lead students out of the building.  Once outside, it is expected that you use the Assembly Card and stay with your class.  Upon Re-Entry of the building, you should lead your class to the scanning area by the general parking lot before you enter the building.  If you have any questions about the General Response Protocol, please refer to the GRP Poster in your classroom or contact Ms. Del Valle (jdelvalle@pablonerudaacademy.org).
Paper Requests
Our school has inherited a lot of legal size paper in all different colors.  Using these supplies will allow us to save funds in our year of fiscal crisis.  If you are able to use legal in lieu of letter size paper, please indicate it on your supply request submission.
Youth Court Referrals and Support
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).
