Changes to the Secondary Program

Nos últimos 18 meses, passamos por uma série de mudanças significativas, tanto em nossa vida profissional quanto pessoal. Estou escrevendo para compartilhar hoje sobre uma mudança que nos afetará.

CHANGES TO THE SECONDARY
Secondary Change Announcement
August 18, 2021

Dear Secondary Parents and Students, 

Over the past 18 months, we have all experienced a variety of significant changes, both in our professional and personal lives. I am writing today to share about a change that will affect our community.

As you are aware, in March of 2020 Joel Rast accepted the appointment to serve as PACA’s Secondary Principal. I have enjoyed getting to know Joel and appreciate his commitment to the Lord Jesus as well as to PACA, and the way he has exhibited servant leadership the last 18 months in this role. 

Nonetheless, a variety of factors led Joel last week to ask that he be allowed to return to the classroom, resuming a full-time teaching assignment. One of the significant factors was the need for a Middle School English teacher after a recent hire’s resignation.

Although it is another change for PACA to manage, we are grateful for Joel’s commitment to student learning and to our school’s educational program. Seeing the school’s need, he has stepped up to stand in the teacher gap on short notice, bringing his previous teaching expertise back to the Middle School classroom.

Beginning Monday, August 23, Mr. Rast will be teaching Grade 6 English and Grade 7 English in the Middle School, as well as AP US History class in the High School. 

I am thankful to be able to announce today that Mr. Josh Stockment has agreed to serve as Interim Secondary Principal until the position is permanently filled. Mr. Stockment will assume full responsibilities for this interim role on Monday, August 23. 

We are going to conduct a full, transparent, and participative search for the Secondary Principal throughout first semester. The search process will invite both internal and external applicants, those who know PACA and those who do not. We will not rush the process but expect to identify a principal no later than February 1, 2022. 

I recognize that change brings questions; typically, it is not possible to anticipate all the questions and interpretations that might be brought forward at times such as this. Mr. Flurry ([email protected]) can provide clarification, but I also request and welcome your written questions submitted through Susana Okada ([email protected]) .

While I am committed to answering questions in a timely fashion, I am equally committed to gracing PACA’s next Secondary Principal with a full search process. I would be remiss if I failed to thank and ask for your prayers for Mr. Stockment for graciously agreeing to serve in the interim role, allowing the necessary process to occur.

With warmest regards,

John Nelson

Prezados pais e alunos do Secondary

Nos últimos 18 meses, passamos por uma série de mudanças significativas, tanto em nossa vida profissional quanto pessoal. Estou escrevendo para compartilhar hoje sobre uma mudança que nos afetará.

Como vocês sabem, em março de 2020, Joel Rast aceitou a nomeação para servir como Secondary Principal da PACA. Tem sido um privilégio conhecer Joel e aprecio seu compromisso com o Senhor Jesus, bem como com a PACA, e a maneira como ele serviu com humildade e graça nos últimos 18 meses nesta função.

No entanto, uma variedade de fatores levou Joel, na semana passada, a pedir para voltar para a sala de aula, retomando sua atribuição de ensino em tempo integra. Um desses fatores foi nossa necessidade de um professor de inglês, após um recente pedido de demissão de um professor novo do Secondary.

Embora seja outra mudança para PACA gerenciar, somos gratos pelo compromisso do Joel com o aprendizado dos alunos e com o programa educacional de nossa escola. Enxergando a necessidade, ele se colocou à disposição para voltar a ser professor, trazendo sua experiência prévia como educador.

A partir da próxima semana, segunda-feira, 23 de agosto, o Sr. Rast passará a ensinar Grade 6 Inglês e Grade 7 Inglês no Ensino Fundamental II, bem como aula de Advanced Placement US History no Ensino Médio.

Fico feliz em poder anunciar hoje que o Sr. Josh Stockment concordou em servir como Secondary Principal Interino até que o cargo seja permanentemente preenchido. Josh assumirá todas as responsabilidades por esta função na segunda-feira, 23 de agosto. 

Faremos uma busca completa, transparente e participativa ao longo do primeiro semestre. O processo de pesquisa irá convidar candidatos internos e externos, aqueles que conhecem PACA e aqueles que não o conhecem. Não apressaremos o processo, mas esperamos identificar um diretor até 1º de fevereiro de 2022. 

Eu reconheço que a mudança traz questões. Normalmente, não é possível antecipar todas as perguntas e interpretações que podem ser apresentadas em momentos como este. O Sr. Flurry ([email protected]) poderá fornecer alguns esclarecimentos, mas também solicito e agradeço suas perguntas por escrito enviadas por meio de Susana Okada ([email protected]).

Peço suas orações na busca do próximo Secondary Principal da PACA. Eu seria negligente se não agradecesse e pedisse suas orações ao Sr. Stockment por, gentilmente, concordar em servir na função interina, permitindo que o processo necessário ocorresse.

Saudações calorosas,

John Nelson
Superintendente
