2023-2024 Student Handbook

(Digital - English Version)


August 11, 2023


Dear PACA Parents and Students,


You are invited to download and view the digital 2023-2024 Student Handbook below. A Portuguese version will be made available by August 18. For cost-effective and sustainable practice, we are only providing a digital handbook. We will not be sending home a printed version.

PACA’s Student Handbook is published at the beginning of each year with detailed guidelines and policies for school participation. It is revised annually and made available electronically as a PDF document. 


The handbook provides information so that you can develop an understanding of the general school rules/expectations and guidelines, such as attendance policies and practices, discipline information, parent involvement, dress code, and much more.


During the course of the year, there might be items of interest that are not covered in this booklet. In these matters, the school administration will have the final word, seeking to have all things firmly rooted in God’s Word. When changes are made, we will post a revised copy to our web page and  notify parents  and guardians of the update.


No handbook can totally cover all of the school’s numerous practices and procedures. Please don’t hesitate to ask for further information or assistance. We’re here to serve you.


God is at work.


In Christ,


School Office

Prezados Pais e Alunos da PACA,


Você está convidado a baixar e visualizar o Manual do Aluno Digital 2023-2024. Uma versão em português estará disponível até o dia 18 de agosto. Para uma prática econômica e sustentável, estamos fornecendo o manual apenas em versões digitais. Não enviaremos para casa uma versão impressa.


O Manual do Aluno da PACA é publicado no início de cada ano com diretrizes e políticas detalhadas para a participação escolar. Ele é revisado anualmente e disponibilizado eletronicamente como um documento PDF.


O manual fornece informações para que você possa desenvolver uma compreensão das regras/expectativas gerais da escola, como políticas e práticas de frequência, informações sobre disciplina, envolvimento dos pais, código de vestimenta e muito mais.


Ao longo do ano, pode haver itens de interesse que não são abordados neste manual. Nesses assuntos, a direção da escola terá a palavra final, procurando ter todas as coisas firmemente enraizadas na Palavra de Deus. Quando forem feitas alterações, publicaremos uma cópia revisada em nossa página da Web e notificaremos os pais e responsáveis sobre a atualização.


Nenhum manual pode cobrir totalmente todas as inúmeras práticas e procedimentos da escola. Por favor, não hesite em pedir mais informações ou assistência. Estamos aqui para atendê-lo.


Deus está trabalhando.


Em Cristo,


Diretoria

MAP Testing

11/8/2023

0 Comments

 

August 11, 2023


Dear Elementary Parents and Students, 

  

It has been a blessing to have the students back on Campus! As we have now had a few weeks to settle back into our routine, we are planning to take the first MAP Test of the year. 

MAP is Measures of Academic Progress®. It creates a personalized assessment experience by adapting to each student’s learning level—precisely measuring student progress and growth for each individual. MAP delivers data when it matters most: when there’s still time to make a difference in student progress. 


2nd-5 th  grade students will take 3 evaluations: Language, Reading and Math. Kindergarten and 1 st grade students will take 2 evaluations: Reading and Math. These evaluations will be done in-person and will take place over the weeks of August 28 - September 1 and September 4 - 6. Students who miss school on the day of the test will participate in a make-up test session on September 11 or 12.  Students will be given less classwork and activities to complete on their evaluation days, which will allow them to focus and do their best during the assessment. The individual evaluations will take around 45-90 minutes to complete.  


Please make sure that your child gets plenty of rest and eats a good breakfast in anticipation of their assessments. Please also provide emotional support, reminding your child to do their best but also that this is a special kind of test designed to figure out what they know and is not tied to their grades. 


Please see the attached documents and also the video link for more information about the MAP test:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEbaAmB3fa0

Sincerely, 

    

Brenda Stockment 

Elementary Principal

Caros Pais e Alunos do Ensino Fundamental.

Tem sido uma bênção ter os alunos de volta ao Campus! Como já tivemos algumas semanas para voltar à nossa rotina, estamos planejando fazer o primeiro MAP teste do ano.


MAP significa  Measures of Academic Progress®.  Este teste cria uma experiência de avaliação personalizada, adaptando-se ao nível de aprendizagem de cada aluno - medindo com precisão o progresso e o crescimento do aluno. O MAP fornece dados quando mais importa: quando ainda há tempo para fazer a diferença no progresso do aluno.


Os alunos do 2º ao 5º ano farão 3 avaliações: Linguagem, Leitura e Matemática. Os alunos do Kindergarten e do 1º ano farão 2 avaliações: Leitura e Matemática. Essas avaliações serão feitas pessoalmente e distribuídas ao longo das semanas de 28 de agosto a 1 de setembro e 4 a 6 de setembro. Os alunos que faltarem nos dias dos testes, poderão participar de sessões nos dias 11 ou 12 de setembro que serão disponibilizadas para quem precisar repor os testes. Os alunos receberão menos trabalhos de classe e atividades para concluir em seus dias de avaliação, o que permitirá que eles se concentrem a dar o melhor de si durante a avaliação. As avaliações individuais levarão cerca de 45-90 minutos para serem concluídas.


Certifique-se de que seu filho descanse bastante e tome um bom café da manhã antes das avaliações. Forneça também apoio emocional, lembrando seu filho de fazer o melhor, mas também que este é um tipo especial de teste criado para descobrir o que ele sabe e não está vinculado às suas notas.


Consulte os documentos em anexo e também o link do vídeo para obter mais informações sobre o teste MAP:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEbaAmB3fa0

Atenciosamente

July 28, 2023


Dear PACA Community, 


I am thrilled to share some wonderful news with you at the start of our new school year regarding Pan American Christian Academy. We have just received official confirmation that PACA's educational excellence has been recognized once again, sent by Mr. Tim Thompson, MS – ACSI’s Director of Accreditation/International Division, with the following message:


“It is my great pleasure and honor to let you know that ACSI’s Commission on Accreditation for International Schools has voted to reaccredit Pan American Christian Academy for a term of 6 years.”


With this email, I am delighted to announce that our school has been reaccredited by the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) for the next six years. This prestigious reaccreditation signifies a testament to the dedication and hard work of our faculty, staff, students, and parents in maintaining and fostering a nurturing and academic environment.


ACSI's accreditation process is a comprehensive evaluation that considers various aspects of the school, including academics, leadership, spiritual formation, and facilities. It serves as an affirmation of the quality and effectiveness of our educational programs and our commitment to providing a Christ-centered, holistic education. It also ensures that PACA meets global standards of educational quality, certifies the school in the American Curriculum, and upholds quality in Christian education.


This achievement wouldn't have been possible without the collective effort of our entire school community. I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you for your unwavering support and dedication.


This process was not just a validation of our past achievements, but it also serves as motivation to continue striving for excellence in all that we do for the Lord’s Kingdom. Our mission to nurture young hearts, develop minds, and educate for eternity is strengthened by this re-accreditation.


As we move forward, we will continue to embrace new challenges and seek innovative ways to enhance the Christian educational experience for our students. We are confident that the next six years will be filled with even greater achievements and accomplishments.


Once again, thank you for being an important part of the Pan American Christian Academy family, and for your unwavering support in our pursuit of excellence. We couldn't have reached this milestone without your partnership.


Congratulations to all of us, and let's celebrate this remarkable achievement together!


God is at work.

Yours in Christ,


Stephen Meier

Superintendent

Galatians 6:7-10

28 de julho de 2023


Prezada Comunidade PACA, 


É com grande satisfação que compartilho algumas notícias maravilhosas com vocês no início do nosso novo ano letivo em relação à Pan American Christian Academy. Acabamos de receber a confirmação oficial de que a excelência educacional da PACA foi reconhecida mais uma vez, enviada pelo Sr. Tim Thompson, MS - Diretor de Credenciamento/Divisão Internacional da ACSI, com a seguinte mensagem:


"É com grande prazer e honra que informo que a Comissão de Credenciamento de Escolas Internacionais da ACSI votou pelo recredenciamento da Pan American Christian Academy por um período de 6 anos".


Com este e-mail, tenho o prazer de anunciar que nossa escola foi reacreditada pela Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) para os próximos seis anos. Esse prestigioso credenciamento significa um testemunho da dedicação e do trabalho árduo de nosso corpo docente, funcionários, alunos e pais na preservação e desenvolvimento de um ambiente acadêmico e estimulante.


O processo de credenciamento da ACSI é uma avaliação abrangente que considera vários aspectos da escola, inclusive acadêmico, liderança, formação espiritual e instalações. Ele serve como uma afirmação da qualidade e da eficácia de nossos programas educacionais e de nosso compromisso de oferecer uma educação holística e centrada em Cristo. Ele também garante que a PACA atenda aos padrões globais de qualidade educacional, certifica a escola no Currículo Americano e mantém a qualidade da educação cristã. 

 

Essa conquista não teria sido possível sem o esforço coletivo de toda a nossa comunidade escolar. Gostaria de estender minha sincera gratidão a todos e a cada um de vocês por seu apoio e dedicação inabaláveis.

 

Esse processo não foi apenas uma validação de nossas conquistas passadas, mas também serviu de motivação para continuarmos buscando a excelência em tudo o que fazemos para o Reino de Deus. Nossa missão de nutrir corações jovens, desenvolver mentes e educar para a eternidade é fortalecida por esse re-credenciamento.

 

À medida que avançamos, continuaremos a aceitar novos desafios e a buscar maneiras inovadoras de aprimorar a experiência educacional cristã para nossos alunos. Estamos confiantes de que os próximos seis anos serão repletos de conquistas e realizações ainda maiores.

 

Mais uma vez, obrigado por ser uma parte importante da família Pan American Christian Academy e por seu apoio contínuo em nossa busca pela excelência. Não poderíamos ter alcançado esse marco sem a sua parceria.

 

Parabéns a todos nós e vamos comemorar juntos essa notável conquista!

 

Deus está trabalhando.

Seu em Cristo,

Stephen Meier

Superintendente
