High School Finals June 2021

High School Finals 2021 Message from Joel Rast

We want High School Finals to be presential!

Dear High School Parent,

At the end of this semester, your child will be taking a semester exam. I would like all students to take their final exams at school in person. These assessments will provide important information to measure how much your child has learned of the key standards for each class.

If you choose to have your child take their final exams at home, you will need to do the following:

1. Please send an email to Katia Villa (katia.villa@paca.com.br) confirming that your child will take the final exams at home.

2. Students who take the final at home will need to have the Respondus lockdown browser installed on their laptops. Instructions will be sent on how to install this browser.

3. We will need you or a respected adult to supervise each final exam.

4. We will need your word that you had in your possession your child´s phone during the time of the exam.

If you plan to send your child to school for finals, there is no need to reply to this e-mail.

If you have any questions, please contact me or Katia Villa (katia.villa@paca.com.br).

Sincerely,

Joel Rast

Secondary Principal

PACA DIGITAL SCIENCE-STEM FAIR 2021

The middle school students of PACA have been working very hard to have projects to present to the PACA community. With the advent of the pandemic, some changes were made to allow our students to experience the process of working on a project and presenting it to the school community within limited resources and also to maintain safety of their families. The students rose to the challenge and have produced projects that show their learning and skills in spite of the pandemic. Here is a summary of each middle school class’s work.

6^th grade: Dyes Project

(https://www.paca.com.br/6th-grade-science-fair.html)

Every year, sixth graders study dyes: uses, types, history, and the process of dyeing materials. This year the students began their journey on the discovery of dyes through dyeing a face mask. They then researched about dyes, fabrics and mordants (the substance that allows a dye to “stick”) and wrote short essays about their learning. Students then each conducted an experiment manipulating a variable of their choice related to the dyes process. All materials were chosen from things available at home. They each present the results of their experiments in a short, narrated video with a power point to guide the viewer in their process.

7^th and 8^th grade: STEM projects – Science Technology Engineering Math

This year students in the seventh and eighth grades completed a STEM project. Each class was given a selection of STEM challenges to choose from. There was a maximum of 4 students per a project challenge. These students were placed in groups where they could exchange ideas and thoughts on their particular challenge. Each student researched their challenge and wrote a short essay of their findings. All students also made a model or prototype to represent the solution to the problem within each challenge. Eighth grade students had the additional challenge to build their prototypes within a budget as compared to the real world.

Due to the pandemic, students had to adapt to using materials available at home and limited testing opportunities. All students have made a video presenting their final solutions to their own STEM challenges and produced a power point that supports their work.

These videos will premiere on PACA’s YouTube Channel on Saturday, May 8 at 5:00 pm. To make it easier to find the Middle School Science Fair videos, we have posted links on the following pages:

6^th Grade: https://www.paca.com.br/6th-grade-science-fair.html

7^th Grade: https://www.paca.com.br/7th-grade-science-fair.html

8^th Grade: https://www.paca.com.br/8th-grade-science-fair.html

We are grateful for each student God has brought to PACA’s Middle School. We desire to see each student reason critically and act biblically. Our students have worked hard to overcome the challenges brought on by the pandemic.

Kind regards,

Mrs. Susie Zuercher
