Quality Review
We will have visitors on Tuesday, December 20th and Wednesday, December 21st.  The reviewer will be observing our instruction and school culture.  Throughout the two days, admin may be asking for artifacts on behalf of the visitors such as student work, student folders, unit plans, etc.  Please ensure you have a printed lesson plan accessible in your classroom.  To prepare for the review you should ensure that your physical space including bulletin boards are current, and free of graffiti and torn artifacts.  The reviewer has already identified teams and teachers she would like to speak with as well as the tentative schedule of the two days.  The schedule may be found at the following link (https://drive.google.com/a/pablonerudaacademy.org/file/d/0B3PxGWud2LygSVgzdVYtUncyQ1k/view?usp=sharing)
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.
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.
