Technology Redistribution
Welcome back to PNA; We hope that all of you had a restful winter recess.  Technology will be redistributed to the classrooms first thing Monday morning.  You may not have access to laptops until later in the school day.  Please keep this in mind when planning for Monday.
Avonte’s law (Exit Alarms)
Stevenson Campus will begin to activate the exit door alarms in January.  The exits being activated will be on a rolling basis, and doors with activated alarms will be clearly identified with an additional sign that reads, “this alarm is active.”  Don’t be “that adult.” 
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 pulls 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)
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).
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
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.
