General Response Protocol (GRP) – Evacuation and Soft Lock Down Reminders
During an evacuation, teachers need to take with them the Assembly Card, as well as the class attendance.  Teachers then lead students out of the building.  Once outside, it is expected that you use the Assembly Card and stay with your class.  During a soft lockdown, please ensure classroom doors are locked, lights are off, and students are out of sight.  If you have any questions, please reach out to a BRT Member (Ms. Del Valle, Mr. Torres, Mr. Valencia, and Mr. Guardado).
UFT Teacher Center
The Bronx Guild has received a grant that awards them a UFT Teacher Center Coach for 2 days a week for the next five years.  The Bronx Guild has offered the coaching services to be opened to teachers in both schools.  PNA has offered the teacher’s lounge as a space for the coach to be in order to do their work.  The UFT Coaches will begin introducing themselves in the lounge starting next week.  Their goal for the first month is to get to know the staff and begin building coaching relationships for those who would want their support.  For more information about the UFT Teacher Center please visit their website at http://www.uft.org/teaching/uft-teacher-center
Hallway Support
Please remember to position yourself at your classroom door during transition to usher students into class.  An extra voice during passing does make a difference.
Youth Court Go Fund Me Page
Mr. Dinner and Mr. Soto have created a GoFundMe campaign to support the Youth Court officers.  Please share the link (https://www.gofundme.com/RJPunis) to help support awareness for their campaign.
7th period daily attendance (UPDATE)
The NYCDOE ATS system is unable to be used for our needs at this time.  While the central team is working on a solution, we will be adopting the same policy as 1st period attendance calls.  The attendance team will be pulling 7th as well as 1st period attendance from Skedula in order to make automated phone calls to students that were absent and late for 1st period and/or absent for 7th period.
Reimbursements for PBIS and School Supplies
Due to heavy restrictions from the Department of Education, any purchase that may require a reimbursement must be approved by Mr. Liu first.  In order to obtain approval, please submit the request on our supply request form.  As a reminder, items found in the www.shopdoe.com system have less restrictions, as well as purchases that will be going toward teacher’s choice reimbursements. 
Life Space Crisis Intervention
LSCI is a six day course designed to train teachers to teach students better ways to respond to future stressful events.  The training is available to all staff interested.  The next cohort begins December 10th.  If you are interested please email Mr. Liu (dliu@pablonerudaacademy.org) indicating your interest, as well as if you want to take the training for a P credit or want to get paid training rate.
