Student lateness
As a reminder, students should not be restricted from entering class because of lateness.  Lateness should be documented and followed with a suitable progressive disciplinary response.  A suggested ladder of referral can be found in the staff handbook.  Documentation of lateness and parent outreach can lead to a dean’s referral at which point the safety team will follow up and continue with a progressive disciplinary response.
Students leaving classrooms
As a reminder, please follow the proper protocol, as stated in the staff handbook, when you allow students to leave your classroom. Review the following:
·          Students visiting the restroom – Student should sign the bathroom log, and use the bathroom pass.  Only one student should be out at a time to use the restroom.  The safety team logs their use of the restroom with the bathroom log.
·          Students visiting the office – Student should be given a written pass to the office. 
·          Student who needs a break from the classroom – Student should be escorted out by a member of the safety team.  The safety team logs the classroom removal, and is able to communicate with the teacher(s) on whether the student is able to return.
Following the proper protocol will allow us to maintain a positive hallway culture where safety can address students who are not following procedure.  This will also maintain clear lines of communication between the safety team and the teachers.
PNA Holiday Potluck
The PNA Holiday Potluck has been scheduled and organized by the PNA Culture Team for December 16th.  Staff interested in participating in our potluck should document their planned contribution by adding it to the Holiday Potluck Doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1HBT59na3IziQWoS_Pa_mxo9lKOJoq8QHEgWCFODlrOg/edit?ts=583d831f
To accommodate the potluck, the staff meeting scheduled for December 9th has been moved to the 16th
Restorative Justice and classroom management support
As part of the NYCDOE’s support in youth development, a Restorative Justice Coordinator, Joye Harper, will be available Thursdays and Fridays to connect, observe, give feedback, and collaborate with our staff on the effectiveness of using restorative practices in the classroom.  Staff who are interested in support may connect with Ms. Harper at joyeharper@yahoo.com and/or stop by her office in room 279.  She is available for class visits, demos, and one on one training.

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 began introducing themselves in the lounge last month.  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
