As was the case last year, all classrooms must have a classroom library. Contact Ms. Del Valle if you need book shelves or books.  If you are moving books to another room or adding books to your library, please update the PNA Classroom Inventory Spreadsheet:
Physical Space Walkthrough
A Physical Space walkthrough will be conducted at the end of day on Tuesday, September 7th. All teachers will receive formal feedback on their classrooms, specifically on the readiness of rooms to welcome students. Bulletin boards may be left empty; however, they must be covered.
