State Grading Policy Changes – Submitting student grades after the semester is over:
Teachers now have up to 60 days to submit final semester grades with the approval of administration.  This practice is reserved for students who teachers are granting additional time to demonstrate enough mastery of coursework to earn a passing grade.  If you are going to use this option, please give the student a 0 in PADS and send an email to Mr. Liu (dliu@pablonerudaacademy.org) with a list of students you are using this option for, and a very short description of the reason.  At any point within the 60 days you may send an email to Mr. Liu to submit the final grade for each student, whether it is a passing or failing grade.  After 60 days all missing grades will be automatically changed to F.
Notification to Attend Graduation
Graduation for our seniors will be held at the Murphy Auditorium at Iona College on Wednesday, June 22th at 12:00pm.  If you plan on attending, please notify Ms. Del Valle by Wednesday June 15th.

End-of-Year Meetings Reminder
End-of-Year meetings begin on Tuesday, June 14th and run through Wednesday, June 24th. Your meeting date and time have been communicated through Regents invitation letters (Classroom Teachers) or email (Non-Classroom Teachers). Please ensure you arrive on time for your meeting.
Cell phones during Regents
The cell phone procedure will be modified during Regent exam days.  Cell phones will continue to be collected at scanning.  To ensure students do not have electronics during testing, cell phones will also be distributed from scanning so that students immediately leave the building with their devices.
End of year checklist
As you pack up and close your classroom or office for the end of the 2015-2016 school year, please be sure to obtain signatures on your end of year checklist.  The copy of the checklist was placed in your mailbox on Friday, June 10th.  A copy is also available via the following link: https://drive.google.com/a/pablonerudaacademy.org/file/d/0B3PxGWud2LygRG1PSE1WdVltWTNMbWZvQVJjY2dsOWZvS0RJ/view?usp=sharing
Parent outreach for students in danger of failing
Please ensure that you are reaching out to parents when students are not meeting classroom expectations.  The final marking period will end June 13th.  Parents should not be surprised of student failures once they receive their report card.  We must ensure that they have been contacted and informed.  Ms. Santos (ysantos@pablonerudaacademy.org) is available to assist with the contact and translation.

The New York City Open Market Hiring System opened Friday, April 15th and will be available through August. The system is used by teachers and other staff to view and apply for opportunities across the city. The system can be accessed at the following link:
