Winter – Securing of personal belongings and laptop carts
To prepare for the winter recess please ensure all items are safely secured.  As stated in the PNA Staff Handbook, “ALWAYS lock your personal belongings and valuables such as purses, laptops, etc.  Lock each classroom door whenever you leave the room.”  Beginning 4th period on Wednesday, December 23rd , technology carts will be removed from classrooms in preparation for winter recess.
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)
Passes and students leaving classroom
Especially with the holiday season upon us, it is important to be consistent to maintain our school’s Tone and Culture.  All students are required to have a pass before leaving your classroom.  If they don’t, a safety member will direct them to return to class.
Students who have Long Term Absences
If a student returns to class after a long absence, please update Ms. Millie via email or Skedula.  Ms. Millie will then be able to meet with the student, as well as make contact to the household, on your behalf.
Food Drive/Coat Drive
The Youth Service Club will be 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.
Holiday Displays
Please be aware of and be sensitive to the significance of seasonal observances and religious holidays as we work to foster mutual understanding and respect for our school’s diverse religious, racial, ethnic and cultural heritages. The Constitution prohibits a school system from endorsing or promoting a particular religion or belief system.
School Communication Team Announcement
The School Communication team is managing PNA’s first Twitter account.  The account is 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
