April 9 Update: 100% Online for 2 more weeks

 
Due to a number of COVID cases amongst our teachers and staff that greatly impact our ability to offer presential classes on campus, we will maintain learning 100% online for the next two weeks.
TO: Teachers, Parents, Students, Staff and Board
RE:  100% Online For Two Weeks
DATE: April 9, 2021

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

According to the governor’s announcement today, we are returning to the Red Phase of the Plano São Paulo starting next week, which allows for presential classes.  However, due to a number of COVID cases amongst our teachers and staff that greatly impact our ability to offer presential classes on campus, we will maintain learning 100% online for the next two weeks. 

Our plan is to safely return to presential/hybrid classes on April 26. This delay in presential/hybrid classes will allow our COVID-19 positive personnel to complete their quarantine and allow teachers to be vaccinated.

We would appreciate your prayers over the following items for our teachers and staff members:
- For those who are battling COVID-19 infections. That God would bring them healing and a quick recovery without side effects as they quarantine themselves and recover.
- For those who will be getting vaccinated in the next couple of weeks - that they would not have any adverse reactions to the vaccines and that it would bring immunity to them.

We also want to lift in prayer our PACA families that have lost loved ones to this disease or to any other cause. May God bring His comfort and peace upon them.

Let us keep lifting our city and each other up in prayer - for His mercy, comfort, protection, and hope.

Sincerely,

School Office

P.S. Once we return to presential/hybrid classes on April 26, we will implement this new 35% student schedule that provides equity for Gr. 6-8 without diminishing current attendance opportunities for Preschool, Elementary and High School students. 
PARA: Professores, pais, alunos, funcionários e diretoria
RE: 100% Online nas Próximas Semanas
DATA: 9 de abril de 2021

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

De acordo com o anúncio feito hoje pelo do governador, estamos retornando à Fase Vermelha do Plano São Paulo a partir da próxima semana, o que permiterá aulas presenciais. 

No entanto, devido a uma série de casos de COVID-19 entre nossos professores e funcionários que impactam muito nossa capacidade de ter aulas presenciais, manteremos o aprendizado 100% online pelas próximas duas semanas.

Nosso plano é retornar com segurança às aulas presenciais / híbridas em 26 de abril. Essa prorrogação nas aulas presenciais / híbridas permitirá que os professores sejam vacinados e nossos funcionários testados positivo para COVID-19 concluam sua quarentena.

Agradecemos suas orações sobre os seguintes itens para nossos professores e funcionários:
- Para aqueles que serão vacinados nas próximas semanas - que eles não tenham nenhuma reação adversa às vacinas e que isso lhes traga imunidade.
- Para aqueles que estão lutando contra infecções por COVID-19 - que Deus lhes traga a cura e uma recuperação rápida sem efeitos colaterais enquanto eles se colocam em quarentena e se recuperam.

Também queremos nos levantar em oração em favor das famílias da PACA que perderam parentes ou familiares queridos para esta doença ou por qualquer outra causa. Que Deus traga Seu conforto e paz sobre eles.

Vamos continuar erguendo nossa cidade e uns aos outros em oração - por Sua misericórdia, conforto, proteção e esperança.
 
Sinceramente,
 
Diretoria

P.S. Ao retornarmos às aulas presenciais/híbridas no dia 26 de abril, implementaremos um novo rodízio de classes na programação de 35% dos alunos no campus, que fornecerá equidade para as classes 6º até 8º anos, sem diminuir as oportunidades atuais de frequência para alunos do ensino fundamental e médio.

Ends Policies & Parent Survey

 
We ask that you respond via this survey concerning these four statements by April 9th.
Proposed Ends Policy to PACA's Community
Survey in English
Enquete em Português

Dear PACA Parents,

Good afternoon! 

In uncertain times, having clearly identified targets — and the opportunity to contribute to their identification — can deepen our unity. We need to know how to respond to present challenges at this moment in time, but also what will launch us best into the future. 

To date, PACA's goals for students have been stated in seven broad categories using 45 bulleted statements. Believing this is too much to pack into our daily consciousness as a consistent guide, PACA leadership — the Board as well as the Superintendent — have stepped back to review and establish Ends Policies for PACA. We want to involve every parent willing to contribute his or her ideas to this important undertaking. 

The PACA mission to “Nourish Hearts, Develop Minds, and Educate for Eternity” is not being considered for change. Rather, out of this statement of mission, we propose a concise Ends Policy Statement — a four-word description of who our students — your children — are becoming. 

We ask that you respond via this survey concerning these four statements by April 9th. Believing that “less is more” in this case of Ends policy, we have proposed for the Board's consideration and ultimate acceptance the following statement. 

PACA students are... 
Whole, 
Achievers, 
Stewards, and 
Catalysts. 

In the survey, you will note three suggested descriptors (indicators) attached to each End. Neither the Ends nor the descriptors have been finalized. This is your opportunity, along with other parents as well as PACA faculty, support staff, and school leadership to contribute to establishing four primary targets for PACA students.  

This survey will gather feedback from stakeholders for the board's consideration at its meeting on April 14, 2021. We envision starting the 2021-2022 school year with a new Ends Policy in place. Your input by April 9, 2021 will assist us in meeting this timeline. 

Please consider how your voice can best be heard as you express thoughts on the four Ends as the survey requests. Feel free to add thoughts on the indicators below each End — this will help us define achievement of these Ends. The survey and instructions are provided in both English and Portuguese. 

Thank you for the opportunity to serve your family through educating your daughters and sons at Pan American Christian Academy.

Monday: 100% Online due to Mayor's Decree

TO: Teachers, Parents, Students, Staff and Board
RE:  100% Online starting April 5
DATE: April 1, 2021

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

We will resume learning 100% online on Monday, April 5.  According to Decree No 60.158 of March 31, 2021, we will only be able to return to presential / hybrid classes on April 12, provided that the emergency phase of the São Paulo plan is not extended by the Government of the State of São Paulo. 

Starting this Monday, PACA classes will be conducted 100% online - Preschool and Elementary students via Seesaw and Secondary students via Canvas.

Once we return to presential/hybrid classes, we will implement this new 35% student schedule that provides equity for Gr. 6-8 without diminishing current attendance opportunities for Preschool, Elementary and High School students. 
In these days, let us lift our city 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​

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

Retomaremos ao aprendizado 100% online na próxima segunda-feira, 5 de abril. Conforme o Decreto Municipal nº 60.158 publicado em 31 de março de 2021 que, determina que as escolas só poderão retornar às aulas presenciais / híbridas no dia 12 de abril, desde que a fase emergencial do o Plano São Paulo não seja prorrogada pelo Governo do Estado de São Paulo. 
 
A partir desta segunda-feira, as aulas do PACA continuarão sendo ministradas 100% online aos alunos da Pré-escola e do Ensino Fundamental I pela Plataforma Seesaw e, para os alunos do Ensino Fundamental II e Ensino Médio pela plataforma Canvas.

Nestes dias, vamos erguer nossa cidade 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
