Consolidation Updates –
The newly established consolidated Student Culture and Orientation Team have begun working on events for staff and students; you can follow the work on the ongoing Consolidation Agenda.  Teacher preference sheets have been reviewed and all staff will meet with Mr. Liu by end of May in regards to your initial program for next year.
PROSE committee meeting –
There is a PROSE committee meeting scheduled for next Monday at 4pm in room 498.  The objective of this meeting is to establish our school calendar and schedule to be voted on by the combined chapter via SBO.  All staff that are interested are welcomed to the meeting.  Light refreshments will be served.
Copiers

Open Market Hiring System
The New York City Open Market Hiring System has opened 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: https://www.nycenet.edu/offices/dhr/transferplane/default.aspx
End of day procedures (Reminder)
All teachers should ensure that students do not leave class before the end of the day bell rings at 3:00PM/3:45PM.  The tone and culture of every class should promote students asking for permission to leave the classroom, and not that students can freely walk in and out of class during the lesson and at the end of the day.  All teachers must also ensure student chairs are put up at the end of each day. Additionally, all student chairs should be taken down at the beginning of each day. Please have students take down all chairs, even if no one will be sitting in the chair during the period.
