Municipal Holidays and Classes

March 26, 2021

Dear Parents,

Following the determination of the South Region Education Directorate 3 and school supervision, PACA will reformulate its school calendar to comply with the 200 school days, not being authorized to offer any type of class (including online) during the days declared municipal holidays, March 26, 29, 30, 31 and April 1.

We hope to return to face-to-face / hybrid classes on April 5 or when authorized by government authorities. If the emergency phase continues, we will be required to continue remote classes 100% online.

We will keep our community informed about government actions that may impact the school.

We hope and pray that you and your family will enjoy these days, finding family time and praying for our nation.

We really appreciate your partnership as parents.

Sincerely,

School Leadership

Prezados Pais,

Seguindo a determinação da Diretoria de Ensino Região Sul 3 e supervisão escolar, a PACA deverá reformular seu calendário escolar para o cumprimento dos 200 dias letivos, não podendo oferecer qualquer tipo de aula (inclusive on-line) durante os dias 26, 29, 30 e 31 de março e 1º de abril, dias decretados feriados municipais.

Esperamos retornar às aulas presenciais/ híbridas no dia 5 de Abril ou quando for autorizado pelas autoridades governamentais. Se a fase emergencial continuar a vigor, seremos obrigados a dar continuidade as aulas remotas 100% on-line. 

Manteremos a nossa comunidade informada sobe ações governamentais que possam impactar a escola.

Esperamos e oramos para que você e sua família aproveitem esses dias, encontrando tempo para a família e orando em favor da nossa nação.

Agradecemos muito a sua parceria como pais.

Sinceramente,

Diretoria

Anticipation of Municipal Holidays

 
City of São Paulo & COVID-19 Update: Mayor Cova's decree anticipates municipal holidays...
Anticipation of Municipal Holidays & Classes
CITY OF SÃO PAULO & COVID-19 UPDATE

TO: Parents, Students and Board
RE: Anticipation of five holidays starting March 26
DATE: March 19, 2021

This email comes from PACA’s official channel of communication.

The mayor of São Paulo, Bruno Covas, decreed on Friday (19) the anticipation of five holidays starting next Friday (March 26). The measure aims to reduce the circulation of people on the streets to stop the transmission of the coronavirus.

The two municipal holidays of this year (Corpus Christi and Black Awareness Day) and the three of next year (the same two and the Anniversary of the City) will be moved to the 26th, 29th, 30th and 31st of March and the 1st of April. According to Covas, by making these dates into holidays and adding the national holiday of April 2 (Good Friday), this creates ten sequential days off in which Paulistanos should remain at home.

This also means that there will be no school on March 26, 29, 30, 31 and April 1, since they are municipal holidays. We are clarifying these calendar changes with our educational supervisor to understand how they will impact our school calendar. 

Our hope is that we can return to presential/hybrid classes on April 5. If the emergency situation is still in effect, we will continue with 100% online learning.

Let us keep each other and the city of São Paulo in our prayers, and stay safe.

Sincerely,

John Nelson
Superintendent

PARA: Pais, alunos e diretoria
RE: Antecipação de cinco feriados municipais a partir do dia 26 de março
DATA: 19 de março de 2021

Este e-mail vem do canal oficial de comunicação da PACA.

O prefeito de São Paulo, Bruno Covas, decretou nesta sexta-feira (19) a antecipação de cinco feriados municipais a partir da próxima sexta-feira (26 de março). A medida visa reduzir a circulação de pessoas nas ruas para frear a transmissão do coronavírus.

Os dois feriados municipais deste ano (Corpus Christi e Dia da Consciência Negra) e os três do próximo ano (os mesmos e o Aniversário da Cidade) serão movidos para os dias 26, 29, 30 e 31 de março e 1º de abril. De acordo com Covas, somando-se o feriado nacional do dia 2 de abril (Paixão de Cristo), serão dez dias de folga em que os paulistanos devem permanecer em casa.

Isso também significa que não haverá aulas nos dias 26, 29, 30, 31 de março e 1º de abril. Estamos esclarecendo essas mudanças de calendário com nosso supervisor educacional para entender como elas afetarão nosso calendário escolar.

Esperamos poder retornar às aulas presenciais/híbridas no dia 5 de abril. Se a situação de emergência ainda estiver em vigor, continuaremos com o aprendizado 100% online.

Vamos manter um ao outro e a cidade de São Paulo em nossas orações, e fique seguro.

Sinceramente,

John Nelson
Superintendente

We will follow government’s recommendation – 15 days of 100% Online Learning

 
State of São Paulo & COVID-19 Update
STATE OF SÃO PAULO & COVID-19 UPDATE
TO: Parents, Students, Staff and Board
RE: We will follow government’s recommendation – 15 days of 100% Online Learning
DATE: March 12, 2021

This email comes from PACA’s official channel of communication.

On March 11, 2021, the Government of the State of São Paulo closed public schools from March 15-30, and recommended that private schools move to distance learning for the same period.

PACA will follow the government’s recommendation for distance learning from March 15 – 30. Our decision is based upon the following.
  • Promoting the physical health and emotional well-being of PACA students and employees.
  • Lowering the exposure risk for PACA students and faculty.
  • Lowering the exposure risk for PACA support staff, many of whom are dependent upon mass transit and who would encounter further risks en route to and from work.
  • Growing absence rates of PACA faculty and support staff in 5-day quarantine protocol after experiencing secondary exposure to a COVID-positive person.
  • Following government recommendations due to the loss of hospital availability.
  • Contributing as possible to stopping the current cycle of rapid spread of cases and resulting increase of COVID-19 deaths.

Starting March 15, classes will be conducted 100% online for all PACA students, with Preschool and Elementary students using Seesaw and Secondary students using Canvas.

PACA foresees resuming presential/hybrid classes on Wednesday, March 31 with an amended student schedule that will provide attendance equity for Gr. 6-8 without diminishing current attendance opportunities for Elementary and High School students. Parent Roundtables, as well as other scheduled events, will be adjusted or rescheduled via further communication.

In these extraordinary days, let us lift our country in prayer, pleading God’s mercy upon us, His comfort in loss, His protection for the vulnerable, and His hope for the weary.

Sincerely,

John Nelson
Superintendent​

PARA: Pais, alunos, funcionários e diretoria
RE: Seguiremos a recomendação do governo - 15 dias de 100% de aprendizado online
DATA: 12 de março de 2021

Este e-mail vem do canal oficial de comunicação da PACA.

No dia 11 de março de 2021, o Governo do Estado de São Paulo fechou as escolas públicas dos dias 15 à 30 de março e, recomendou que as escolas particulares passassem para o ensino a distância no mesmo período.

A PACA seguirá a recomendação do governo mantendo o ensino à distância dos dias 15 à 30 de março. Nossa decisão é baseada no seguinte:
  • Promover a saúde física e o bem-estar emocional de alunos e funcionários da PACA.
  • Reduzir o risco de exposição para alunos e professores da escola.
  • Reduzir o risco de exposição para o pessoal de apoio da PACA, muitos dos quais dependem do transporte público e que enfrentariam maiores riscos no trajeto de ida e volta para o trabalho.
  • Taxas crescentes de ausência de docentes e equipe de apoio da PACA no protocolo de quarentena de 5 dias após sofrer exposição secundária a uma pessoa COVID-positiva.
  • Seguir as recomendações do governo devido à perda de disponibilidade hospitalar.
  • Contribuir ao máximo para frear o atual ciclo de rápida disseminação de casos e consequente aumento de óbitos por COVID-19.

A partir de 15 de março, as aulas serão conduzidas 100% online para todos os alunos da PACA, com alunos do Pre-K e do Elementary usando a plataforma Seesaw e alunos do Secondary usando a plataforma CANVAS.

A PACA prevê retomar as aulas presenciais/híbridas na quarta-feira, 31 de março, com uma programação de alunos alterada que fornecerá igualdade de frequência para os anos do 6º- 8º, sem diminuir as oportunidades atuais de frequência para alunos do ensino fundamental (anos iniciais) e médio. Os “Round Tables” dos pais, bem como outros eventos programados, serão ajustados ou reprogramados por meio de comunicação posterior.

Nestes dias extraordinários, vamos erguer nosso país em oração, implorando a misericórdia de Deus sobre nós, Seu conforto na perda, Sua proteção para os vulneráveis e Sua esperança para os cansados.

Sinceramente,

John Nelson
Superintendente
