Dear PACA Parents and Students,

I trust that you are all looking forward to the start of the school year and the opening of the semester on July 29 (secondary students) and July 30 (pre-kindergarten & elementary students) next week, as well as the July 31 Open House.

I hope you will be as encouraged as we are to consider a full reopening of classes following São Paulo Governor Doria’s recent decree allowing 100% student attendance this semester.

PACA leadership has applied the new distancing standard (one meter), verified its capacity to fulfill all safety measures required, and is offering to students a daily attendance option, We trust this plan for 100% in-person student attendance beginning August 2, 2021, will be verified by the Ministry of Education shortly.

While we are eager to end the wait and the return to a more normal teaching and learning environment, we are aware that parents may still opt for their child(ren) to continue in hybrid learning (under a previous decree) until December 2021. While we would love to have all students take advantage of in-person learning, PACA is committed to supporting this choice.

Please answer our survey with 4-5 items https://forms.office.com/r/YUcrPDNi1j asking for details that will allow PACA to plan well for the numbers of students on campus. We ask that you complete and return this survey by Friday, July 23 to allow administration to effectively prepare for the August 2 100% reopening.

More complete details will be shared early next week; at this time, please be advised that the in-person option is planned to begin on August 2 with school hours starting at 8:00 am and ending at 3:25 pm.

Yours sincerely,

J. Nelson

Superintendent

P.S. The survey is already open: https://forms.office.com/r/YUcrPDNi1j.

Prezados pais e alunos da PACA,

Espero que todos vocês estejam animados para o início do ano letivo e abertura do semestre nos dias 29 de julho (alunos do ensino médio) e 30 de julho (pré-escola e alunos do ensino fundamental) da próxima semana, bem como o Open House no dia 31 de julho.

Espero que você se sinta tão encorajado quanto nós para considerar viável a reabertura total das aulas seguindo o recente decreto do governador de São Paulo Doria permitindo 100% de frequência dos alunos neste semestre.

A liderança da PACA aplicou o novo padrão de distanciamento (um metro), verificou sua capacidade de cumprir todas as medidas de segurança exigidas e está oferecendo aos alunos a opção de atendimento diário. Confiamos que nosso plano com 100% de atendimento presencial a partir de 2 de agosto de 2021 será verificado e aprovado em breve pelo Ministério da Educação.

O plano de reabertura da PACA atende não apenas às novas medidas de distanciamento, mas também a outras necessidades, incluindo o horário de almoço e logística, chegadas e partidas dos alunos do campus e o programa de transporte de ônibus.

Embora estejamos ansiosos para acabar com a espera e o retornar a um ambiente de ensino e aprendizagem mais normal, estamos cientes de que os pais ainda podem optar por seus filhos continuarem na aprendizagem híbrida (sob um decreto anterior) até dezembro de 2021. Enquanto adoraríamos que todos os alunos aproveitassem o aprendizado presencial, a PACA está empenhada em apoiar essa escolha.

Por gentileza, respondam à pesquisa https://forms.office.com/r/YUcrPDNi1j

com 4 a 5 itens. Esta pesquisa permitirá que a escola planeje bem o número de alunos no campus. Pedimos que você responda a esta pesquisa até sexta-feira, 23 de julho, para permitir que a administração se prepare efetivamente para a reabertura 100% presencial em 2 de agosto.

Maiores detalhes serão compartilhados no início da próxima semana, todavia informamos que a opção presencial está planejada para ter início em 2 de agosto, com horário escolar das 8h00 às 15h25.

Sinceramente,

J. Nelson

Superintendente
