Reimbursements
The New York City Department of Education has now restricted reimbursement checks.  As a result, please speak to admin prior to purchasing (i.e. PBIS rewards, admission cost for field trips, etc.) so that we can figure out alternative ways of purchasing the item or service. 
Field Trip Calendar
There are a number of trips scheduled from now through May.  Please refer to the Field Trips calendar (shared with the staff earlier this year) prior to submitting a trip request to ensure availability.
Grants and Partnership Team announcement
The Grants and Partnership team is pleased to announce PNA will be receiving $49,000 in funding to provide ELL student supports.  Thank you to the team for their efforts in writing the grant.
School Survey - Student
The NYC School Survey that the students fill out online has arrived.   Please have students complete the surveys in SLC.  As in past years, there will be a pizza party for the grade that has the highest submission rate.  In order to be included in the tally, please submit completed surveys to Ms. Heller. The deadline for students to complete the survey is April 1st.  If you have any questions about the school survey, please contact Ms. Heller.
Youth Court Referrals
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 or us the Youth Court Referral function on Skedula.  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).
Passes and students leaving classroom
A student who needs to the leave the classroom for any reason, must have a pass.  If they do not, a safety team member will redirect them back to class for the pass.  This will allow the safety team to concentrate on students that are not following protocol.
PNA Lesson Planning Process
During the last staff professional development, we were able to go through the PNA Lesson Planning process as a group.  Some teachers have asked to have the process readily available.  The PNA Lesson Planning Process has now been posted to our curriculum planning page.  The Process as well as other curriculum resources, can be found at the following link: https://sites.google.com/site/pnacurriculumplanning/curriculum-planning-templates
School Communication Team (Support and Follow)
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
Pennies for Patients
Ms. Santos is leading her yearly campaign to collect donations for Pennies for Patients.  The proceeds will go to support Leukemia & Lymphoma Research, and collections will be accepted until the end of March.
