Pre-K – 8th grade Orientation (Open House)
The administration looks forward to introducing our teachers to parents at the Pre-K through 8th grade orientation (Open House) this Saturday, August 17, starting at 9 a.m. On this day, Pre-K through 8th grade families will have the opportunity to meet their children’s teachers, see their classrooms and hear the teachers’ expectations. Childcare will be provided for PACA students in Pre-K1 through 5th grade. The general assembly will begin at 11 a.m. in the gym. After the assembly in the gym, the middle school students will accompany their parents to their classroom sessions. The middle school sessions will start at 12 p.m. and end at 1 p.m.

Community Picnic
Following the Pre-K – 8th grade orientation, we will have our annual community picnic, from 12 to 4 p.m. This event is for PACA families only. There is no admissions charge. The school will provide a picnic lunch, organized games for children and parents, rides, sports and fun.

Late Start and Early Dismissal Days
Recent research in international education shows that one of the characteristics of successful schools is a high level of collaboration among the staff. We would like to improve the collaboration among our staff at PACA. This has always been a challenge, since it is impossible to find a time during the day when everyone is free. Therefore, we will be an early dismissal day, which would give us an hour of collaboration time for teachers.

According to the school calendar, August 26 would be a late start day, where students would arrive at PACA at 9 a.m., instead of 8 a.m. Due to traffic pattern modifications and further studies with the company that provides transportation for our school, it seems nearly impossible to go forward with the plan to have late start day on August 26. Late start days are postponed indefinitely.
Please mark your calendars that students will be dismissed an hour early on September 20. There will no sports practices that day.

News from the Guidance Counselor
Here is a list of the next college visits and fairs that will happen this semester for our high school students. Please remember that parents are always welcome and encouraged to attend. If you have any questions, e-mail me at [email protected].

• September 3 - Pace University, Michigan State, and Lewis University representatives will speak to the College Apps students in the auditorium at 11:35 a.m.
• September 5 – Linden College Fair – 8 – 9 a.m. – back courts

Updating Information
On the first day of school, all students received a Student Information Sheet and medical forms. The information requested is extremely important for student safety. Completed forms were due on August 9. We are still missing documents from several students. If your child needs another copy of the forms, he/she may pick it up at the front office.

Orientação do Pre-K ao 8º ano (Open House)
A administração terá muito prazer em apresentar os professores aos pais no sábado, dia 17 da agosto, na Orientação do Pre-K ao 8º ano, a partir das 9 horas. Neste dia, as famílias da pré-escola ao 8º ano terão a chance de conhecer os professores dos seus filhos, visitar as salas de aula e saber mais sobre a rotina dos alunos e as expectativas dos professores. Haverá monitores para os alunos da PACA do Pre-K1 ao 5º ano. A assembleia geral acontecerá no ginásio às 11 horas. De lá, os alunos do 6º ao 8º seguirão para a reunião com os seus pais. As apresentações nas classes do middle school acontecerão das 12 às 13 horas.

Piquenique da Comunidade
Logo após a orientação do Pre-K ao 8º ano, acontecerá o piquenique da comunidade, das 12 às 16 horas. Este evento está voltado apenas para as famílias da PACA. A entrada é franca. Serviremos um almoço, estilo piquenique. Haverá jogos, brincadeiras e diversão para adultos e crianças.

Alteração no Horário Escolar
Pesquisas recentes sobre educação internacional mostram que uma das características de escolas de sucesso é um alto nível de colaboração entre os professores. Queremos melhorar a colaboração entre o corpo docente da PACA. Encontrar tempo durante o dia letivo para fazer isso é um desafio, pois os professores dão aula em períodos diferentes. Portanto, gostaríamos de fazer um teste, liberando os alunos mais cedo, para que os professores possam colaborar entre si por uma hora.

De acordo com o calendário escolar, os alunos entrariam mais tarde no dia 26 de agosto. Devido a mudanças no trânsito e estudos mais aprofundados junto à empresa de transporte escolar, vimos que seria inviável pedir que os alunos chegassem às 9 horas na escola. Late start days (dias em que os alunos entrariam mais tarde) estão prorrogados indefinidamente.

Por favor, marquem em suas agendas que os alunos serão liberados uma hora mais cedo no dia 20 de setembro (às 14h20). Não haverá treino nesse dia.

Notícias da Orientadora Educacional
Nas próximas semanas, acontecerão as seguintes visitas e feiras universitárias para os nossos alunos do Ensino Médio. Os pais são muito bem-vindos e encorajados a participar. Caso tenham perguntas, por favor, me mandem uma mensagem no [email protected].
• 28 de agosto – Feira CIS na Chapel, para alunos do 11º e 12º anos Os alunos sairão da PACA às 8h50, e retornarão perto do meio-dia.
• 29 de agosto - Representantes das universidades Loyola, Xavier, Loyola Marymount e Fordham conversarão com os formandos no auditório, às 8 horas.
• 3 de setembro - Representante de Pace University, Michigan State e Lewis University conversarão com os alunos de College Apps no auditório, às 11h35.
• 5 de setembro – Feira Universitária Linden, das 8 às 9 horas, na quadra coberta.

Atualizando Dados
No primeiro dia de aula, os alunos receberam formulários sobre informações médicas e pessoais. As informações solicitadas são de extrema importância para garantir a segurança dos alunos. Os formulários preenchidos deveriam ter sido entregues até o dia 9 de agosto. Vários alunos ainda não entregaram esses documentos. Caso o seu filho precise de novas cópias dos formulários, ele pode retirá-los na secretaria.
