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
Declaration of Intent forms
Declaration of intent forms have been placed in all teacher mailboxes.  Please fill out all sections and return to Mr. Valencia by May 6th 2016.  A copy of the form can be found at the following link: https://drive.google.com/a/pablonerudaacademy.org/file/d/0B3PxGWud2LygcVktMm1Fc0w1V0E/view?usp=sharing
NYSESLAT Testing - Continues
All ELL students are required to take the NYSESLAT each spring.  The remaining three parts of this exam will be administered from May 2-13.  Detailed schedules were emailed to teachers, and linked below.  Please take a look to see which students will be testing on which days so that you can plan accordingly.  Make-up testing will also be taking place in the afternoons, so please allow Ms. Wanda and Ms. Niove to use your classroom for testing.
Dress Code - Anecdotal
There is a new anecdotal tab on Skedula titled “Dress Code Violation.”  Please use it when you see a student wearing something that is not appropriate for school.  The ladder of discipline for dress code infractions is as follows: 1st Offense – Student receives a warning and a call home; 2nd Offense – Student receives lunch detention and a call home; 3rd Offense – Student is removed from the classroom for the day and a call is made to the parent; 4th Offense – Parent is contacted to pick up student from school or to bring a change of clothing.  Please contact Mr. Torres (ttorres@pablonerudaacademy.org) if you have any questions.
Students Returning from a Long Term Absence
Please note that students who are returning to your class after a long absence or suspension are particularly sensitive to student and teacher responses.  Please support their return by helping them transition back to your classroom routines.  If you need additional information on returning students, please contact Ms. Del Valle (jdelvalle@pablonerudaacademy.org)
Basketball Club
We are thrilled to have over 20 student members participating in this semester’s basketball club.  Please follow normal disciplinary procedures with these students.  Document all challenges in Skedula and keep Deans and Admin in the loop.  The safety team will speak with club advisors on your behalf. 
Co-Planning opportunity
Thanks to the hard work of the Grants and Partnerships team, we were able to secure a grant to support the ELLs in our school.  Part of the grant money will allow Ms. Linares and Ms. Theoharides to co-plan with teachers that do not have ELL push in services.  If you are interested in taking advantage of this opportunity, you may contact Ms. Linares (wlinares@pablonerudaacademy.org) or Ms. Theoharides (NTheoharides@pablonerudaacademy.org) to set up your co-planning sessions.
Open Market Hiring System
