State of São Paulo & COVID-19 Update
STATE OF SÃO PAULO & COVID-19 UPDATE
TO: Parents, Students, Staff and Board
RE: We will follow government’s recommendation – 15 days of 100% Online Learning
DATE: March 12, 2021

This email comes from PACA’s official channel of communication.

On March 11, 2021, the Government of the State of São Paulo closed public schools from March 15-30, and recommended that private schools move to distance learning for the same period.

PACA will follow the government’s recommendation for distance learning from March 15 – 30. Our decision is based upon the following.
  • Promoting the physical health and emotional well-being of PACA students and employees.
  • Lowering the exposure risk for PACA students and faculty.
  • Lowering the exposure risk for PACA support staff, many of whom are dependent upon mass transit and who would encounter further risks en route to and from work.
  • Growing absence rates of PACA faculty and support staff in 5-day quarantine protocol after experiencing secondary exposure to a COVID-positive person.
  • Following government recommendations due to the loss of hospital availability.
  • Contributing as possible to stopping the current cycle of rapid spread of cases and resulting increase of COVID-19 deaths.

Starting March 15, classes will be conducted 100% online for all PACA students, with Preschool and Elementary students using Seesaw and Secondary students using Canvas.

PACA foresees resuming presential/hybrid classes on Wednesday, March 31 with an amended student schedule that will provide attendance equity for Gr. 6-8 without diminishing current attendance opportunities for Elementary and High School students. Parent Roundtables, as well as other scheduled events, will be adjusted or rescheduled via further communication.

In these extraordinary days, let us lift our country in prayer, pleading God’s mercy upon us, His comfort in loss, His protection for the vulnerable, and His hope for the weary.

Sincerely,

John Nelson
Superintendent​

PARA: Pais, alunos, funcionários e diretoria
RE: Seguiremos a recomendação do governo - 15 dias de 100% de aprendizado online
DATA: 12 de março de 2021

Este e-mail vem do canal oficial de comunicação da PACA.

No dia 11 de março de 2021, o Governo do Estado de São Paulo fechou as escolas públicas dos dias 15 à 30 de março e, recomendou que as escolas particulares passassem para o ensino a distância no mesmo período.

A PACA seguirá a recomendação do governo mantendo o ensino à distância dos dias 15 à 30 de março. Nossa decisão é baseada no seguinte:
  • Promover a saúde física e o bem-estar emocional de alunos e funcionários da PACA.
  • Reduzir o risco de exposição para alunos e professores da escola.
  • Reduzir o risco de exposição para o pessoal de apoio da PACA, muitos dos quais dependem do transporte público e que enfrentariam maiores riscos no trajeto de ida e volta para o trabalho.
  • Taxas crescentes de ausência de docentes e equipe de apoio da PACA no protocolo de quarentena de 5 dias após sofrer exposição secundária a uma pessoa COVID-positiva.
  • Seguir as recomendações do governo devido à perda de disponibilidade hospitalar.
  • Contribuir ao máximo para frear o atual ciclo de rápida disseminação de casos e consequente aumento de óbitos por COVID-19.

A partir de 15 de março, as aulas serão conduzidas 100% online para todos os alunos da PACA, com alunos do Pre-K e do Elementary usando a plataforma Seesaw e alunos do Secondary usando a plataforma CANVAS.

A PACA prevê retomar as aulas presenciais/híbridas na quarta-feira, 31 de março, com uma programação de alunos alterada que fornecerá igualdade de frequência para os anos do 6º- 8º, sem diminuir as oportunidades atuais de frequência para alunos do ensino fundamental (anos iniciais) e médio. Os “Round Tables” dos pais, bem como outros eventos programados, serão ajustados ou reprogramados por meio de comunicação posterior.

Nestes dias extraordinários, vamos erguer nosso país em oração, implorando a misericórdia de Deus sobre nós, Seu conforto na perda, Sua proteção para os vulneráveis e Sua esperança para os cansados.

Sinceramente,

John Nelson
Superintendente
