A Prof. ª Susie Zuercher e os Corredores da Missão PACA estão se preparando para uma corrida emocionante que acontecerá no próximo mês em SP.
Hey there, pals! Mrs. Susie Zuercher and the PACA Mission Runners are gearing up for an exciting race happening next month in SP. They want to extend a special invitation to you to join them at the Ayrton Senna Racing Day and support their cause!

The reason behind this race is to raise funds for their former friend and PACA colleague, Jessica Bell Reis. Jessica and her husband have relocated to Guyana, a country in South America, to carry out their mission work. They are in need of a vehicle (a small bus or van) to help transport people from villages to their church ministry area in the rustic region. The estimated cost of the vehicle is $4,600,000 Guyana dollars, which is approximately $23,000 USD or R$120,000 Brazilian reais. Mrs. Zuercher is training hard for the 10K race, and both she and the PACA Mission Runners are seeking donations for this cause.

If you're interested in contributing from Brazil, you can donate through our school (pix number 61.802.294/0001-60). Don't forget to send a copy of the donation receipt to Mrs. Zuercher ([email protected]) and Mr. Ricardo Silva ([email protected]) with a note requesting it to be allocated to our Paca RunRaiser - Jessica Reis. For those outside Brazil who wish to donate, kindly reach out to Mrs. Zuercher directly for further instructions.

Don't miss out on this opportunity to make a difference! Join us by signing up for the Ayrton Senna Racing Day today.

E aí, amigos! A Prof. ª Susie Zuercher e os Corredores da Missão PACA estão se preparando para uma corrida emocionante que acontecerá no próximo mês em SP. Eles querem te convidar para participar do Ayrton Senna  Racing Day  e apoiar sua causa!
 
O motivo por trás dessa corrida é arrecadar fundos para sua amiga e colega da PACA, Jessica Bell Reis. Jessica e seu marido se mudaram para a Guiana, um país na América do Sul, para realizar seu trabalho missionário. Eles precisam de um veículo (uma pequena van ou ônibus) para ajudar a transportar pessoas das aldeias para a área de ministério da igreja na região rústica. O custo estimado do veículo é de $4.600.000 dólares da Guiana, aproximadamente $23.000 USD ou R$120.000 reais brasileiros. A Prof. ª  Zuercher está se preparando intensamente para a corrida de 10K, e tanto ela quanto os Corredores da Missão PACA estão buscando doações para essa causa.
 
Se você estiver interessado em contribuir do Brasil, pode fazer uma doação através da nossa escola (CNPJ pix 61.802.294/0001-60). Não se esqueça de enviar uma cópia do recibo de doação para a Prof. ª  Zuercher ([email protected]) e para o Sr. Ricardo Silva ([email protected]) com uma nota solicitando que seja alocado para o nosso Paca RunRaiser - Jessica Reis. Para aqueles fora do Brasil que desejam doar, entrem em contato diretamente com a Susie para mais instruções.
 
Não perca essa oportunidade de fazer a diferença! Junte-se a nós se inscrevendo para o Ayrton Senna  Racing Day  hoje.

Dear Parents,
 
We are pleased to inform you that the measures taken on our campus to combat mosquitoes have been effective in maintaining a safe environment. An inspection conducted by COVISA agents from the city of São Paulo on April 4, 2024, to prevent and address dengue fever revealed no risk situations, as detailed in the attached report.
 
To ensure the continued safety of our campus, we will maintain the following procedures:

  • Regularly updating our pest control certifications.
  • Conducting monthly mosquito/dengue pest control at the school on the following dates:
    •   April 13th
    •   May 18th
  • Ensuring that our maintenance and cleaning teams are proactive in eliminating mosquito breeding sites and preventing stagnant water in pots, vases, or plastic containers.
  • Cooperating with the city government's efforts to combat the Aedes aegypti mosquito by allowing inspections and treatments on our campus.
  • Sealing and cleaning all water tanks every six months.
  • Cleaning rain gutters weekly.
  • Treating the swimming pool weekly.
 
Parents are encouraged to provide repellent for their children and educate them on its safe application, avoiding sensitive areas such as the eyes, mouth, nose, and wounds. Please follow your doctor's recommendation regarding the use of repellent.
 
In case your child is diagnosed with dengue, it is essential to follow the treatment plan prescribed by their doctor diligently. Please inform our nurse promptly of the diagnosis and adhere to any medical guidance provided.
 
If your child displays any symptoms of illness, particularly a fever, please keep them at home.
 
We appreciate your cooperation in maintaining a safe campus environment for our community.
 
Sincerely,
 
School Leadership
 
....
 
Prezados Pais,
 
É com satisfação que informamos que as medidas tomadas em nosso campus para combater os mosquitos têm sido eficazes na manutenção de um ambiente seguro. Uma inspeção realizada por agentes municipais da COVISA de São Paulo em 4 de abril de 2024, para prevenir e combater a dengue, não revelou situações de risco, conforme detalhado no relatório anexo.
 
Para garantir a segurança contínua de nosso campus, manteremos os seguintes procedimentos:

  • Atualização regular de nossas certificações de controle de pragas.
  • Realização mensal de controle de mosquitos/dengue na escola nas seguintes datas:
    • 13 de abril
    • 18 de maio
  • Garantir que nossas equipes de manutenção e limpeza sejam proativas na eliminação de locais de reprodução de mosquitos e na prevenção de água parada em vasos, vasos ou recipientes plásticos.
  • Cooperar com os esforços do governo municipal para combater o mosquito Aedes aegypti, permitindo inspeções e tratamentos em nosso campus.
  • Vedação e limpeza de todos os tanques de água a cada seis meses.
  • Limpeza de calhas semanalmente.
  • Tratamento da piscina semanalmente.
 
Os pais são incentivados a fornecer repelente para seus filhos e educá-los sobre sua aplicação segura, evitando áreas sensíveis como os olhos, boca, nariz e feridas. Por favor, siga a recomendação do seu médico quanto ao uso de repelente.
 
No caso de seu filho ser diagnosticado com dengue, é essencial seguir rigorosamente o plano de tratamento prescrito pelo médico. Por favor, informe nossa enfermeira prontamente do diagnóstico e siga todas as orientações médicas fornecidas.
 
Se seu filho apresentar sintomas de doença, especialmente febre, por favor, mantenha-o em casa.
 
Agradecemos sua cooperação na manutenção de um ambiente seguro no campus para nossa comunidade.
 
Atenciosamente,

Math Olympiad and Brazilian Curriculum Proficiency Test

Mathematics Olympiads and Brazilian Curriculum Proficiency Test
Queridos pais,
 
Olimpíadas de Matemática

Na semana passada, dias 26 e 27 de Março, 25 alunos do 9o, 10o e 11o participararam da 16a edição da Olimpíada Canguru de Matemática no Brasil. A Olimpíada Canguru de Matemática, que faz parte da Association Kangourou Sans Frontieres está presente em 95 países há pouco mais de 30 anos e faz concursos de matemática para alunos do 3rd grade até o 12th grade.

Os alunos participantes puderam escolher se queriam fazer a prova em Português ou Inglês.

Estamos muito orgulhosos dos alunos que optaram por participar e esperamos que no 3 de junho, data da divulgação dos resultados, tenhamos mais motivos para comemorar.

Dia 4 de junho, estaremos aplicando, aqui mesmo na escola, a 1a fase da OBMEP (Olimpíada Brasileira de Matemática) para os alunos do 6o ao 12o ano que estiverem interessados.

Ano passado tivemos 3 medalhistas de Bronze na modalidade estadual, Jun Yoshikawa, Felipe Wilken e Alec Hayashi.

Teste de Proficiência do Currículo Brasileiro

A PACA sempre teve a preocupação de submeter nossos alunos a testes de proficiência a fim de medirmos os nossos resultados educacionais. Para o currículo americano, usamos há anos o MAP Test, três vezes por ano.

Por muitos anos, os alunos do 5o, 7o, 9o e 11th, faziam também o teste da Cesgranrio para avaliação dos conteúdos do currículo brasileiro. 

Este mês de abril, durante dos dias 16 a 18, nossos alunos do 5o, 7o, 9o e 11os anos farão uma prova da empresa Evolucional a fim de colhermos dados sobre a eficiência do nosso serviço educacional.

Para os 5os e 7os anos, as provas serão de Português, Redação e Matemática e para o 9o e 11o serão provas no modelo ENEM, com assunto pertinente à série, mas com todas as matérias integradas.

As provas acontecerão durante o horário normal de aula, serão todas impressas (modelo físico) e em português.

Ao final, os senhores receberão um detalhado relatório de conhecimento dos seus filhos e uma régua de comparação individual, por classe, por escola, por cidade, por estado e no país. 

A Evolucional é uma empresa que presta serviço de testagem para mais de 7.300 escolas, em 1200 cidades do Brasil e com mais de 5 milhões de testes aplicados.

Estamos felizes e animados com mais essa iniciativa que certamente irá nos ajudar na melhoria da qualidade de nossos serviços educacionais.
 
Deus está trabalhando.
 
Em Cristo,
 
Diretoria

Dear Parents,

Mathematics Olympiads

Last week, on March 26th and 27th, a total of 25 students from Grades 9, 10, and 11 participated in the 16th edition of the Kangaroo Mathematics Olympiad in Brazil. This international competition, organized by the Association Kangourou Sans Frontieres, has been held in 95 countries for over 30 years, offering math challenges to students from 3rd grade to 12th grade.

The students had the option to choose between taking the test in Portuguese or English.

We are extremely proud of our students who decided to take part in this competition, and we are looking forward to celebrating their achievements when the results are announced on June 3rd.

On June 4th, we will be hosting the 1st phase of the OBMEP (Brazilian Mathematics Olympiad) right here at the school, open to students from Grades 6 through 12 who are interested in participating.

Last year, we had 3 students, Jun Yoshikawa, Felipe Wilken, and Alec Hayashi, who received Bronze medals in the state category.

Brazilian Curriculum Proficiency Test

PACA has always been committed to assessing our students' educational progress through proficiency tests. While we have been using the MAP test for the American curriculum three times a year, we have also been utilizing the Cesgranrio test for students in Grades 5, 7, 9, and 11 to evaluate their understanding of the Brazilian curriculum.

This April, from the 16th to the 18th, students in Grades 5, 7, 9, and 11 will be taking a test provided by Evolucional to gather data on the effectiveness of our educational program. The tests for Grades 5 and 7 will cover Portuguese, Writing, and Mathematics, while Grades 9 and 11 will follow the ENEM model, focusing on a relevant topic for each grade but integrating all subjects.

The tests will be administered during regular class hours, in a printed (physical) format and in Portuguese.

After the tests, you will receive a comprehensive report on your child's performance, along with an individual comparison across class, school, city, state, and country.

Evolucional is a company that specializes in providing educational assessments and tools for schools.

We are delighted and enthusiastic about this endeavor, which will undoubtedly enhance the standard of our educational services.

God is at work.

In Christ,

School Leadership
