Open House & Picnic  

PACA looks forward to introducing our teachers to parents at our Open House on Saturday, August 12, starting at 9 a.m. On this day, our families will have the opportunity to meet their children’s teachers, see their classrooms, and hear the teachers’ expectations. Childcare and organized activities will be provided for PACA students in Pre-K1 through 8th grade. 

Following the Open House, 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. 

 

Character First    

Character First is PACA’s Social-Emotional Learning program for Elementary students. 

The Character First topics that we will focus on with elementary students this school year are: Dependability, Creativity, Determination, Wisdom, and Generosity.  

We began our first Character First rotation of the year on August 4, focused on the topic of dependability. Students will learn that responsibility is “Doing what I said I would do, even when it is difficult.”. During each rotation, elementary students participate in an assembly and small groups. During the assembly on August 4, students learned the Bible story of Paul and Timothy (based on 2 Timothy 2 & 4). As students learn and practice important characteristics, the goal is for them to grow in their personal relationships and in their relationship with God.    

 

 

 

MAP Tests     

Each year, students in Kindergarten through 8th grade take the MAP (Measure of Academic Progress) test. Middle School (6th – 8th) students will take MAP tests the week of August 21-25. Elementary students (Kindergarten-5th Grade) will take MAP tests in Reading, Language, & Math during the weeks of August 28 – September 1, September 4-6, and September 11-12. A letter will be sent this week with more information and specific test schedules for each grade level. 

 

 

Elementary Dismissal & After School Supervision   

Parents, please be prompt in picking up your Elementary age students from their classroom by 3:25 each afternoon. Students in grades Pre-K- 5th grade should not stay on campus after 3:25 p.m. unless they are involved in a school-supervised activity or under the supervision of their parents.    

 

 

Permission to Leave Campus  

Students are will only be allowed to leave school unaccompanied, by UBER, taxi, or other means, with written parental authorization to the school at [email protected] . 

 

Absences from school  

Parents, if your child needs to be absent for any reason (illness, medical appointment, dentist, trips, etc) or if you need to pick up your child during the day, please send an email to: [email protected] beforehand. 

 

 

Pick-up Kids  

Parents, if you need to pick up your child from school during the school day (between 8:05 am and 3:25 pm), please stop by reception and wait for your child to arrive at reception. The receptionist will notify the teacher to authorize leaving the classroom.

Cafeteria App for Snacks (Nutrebem)

They will have their own personal password to carry out the process. The app works like a digital cafeteria account.

Communication App (Layers)  

As announced at the end of last year, we will be implementing a communication app for PACA. General school information, event announcements, messages from teachers, and photo sharing will come through Layers .  

 

In the initial phase, the Layers App will start with a communication module, a customer service module, and the calendar for the year. A page with links will also be available for easy access to the main websites we use.  

 

Teacher communication is going out from our school. Elementary teachers started sending messages through the app last week. Middle school teachers started this week and High School Teachers will start sending messages to parents and students next week (Aug 14 – 18) through the app. 

 

The app can be downloaded from the iPhone and Android app stores.

Open House  

A PACA espera anciosamente pela oportunidade de apresentar os nossos professores aos pais durante o nosso Open House no sábado, 12 de agosto, às 9h00. Neste dia, as famílias terão a oportunidade de conhecer os professores dos seus filhos, ver as suas salas de aula e escutar as expectativas dos professores. Serão disponilizadas atividades para as crianças do Pre-K1 ao 8º ano. 

Após o Open House, teremos o nosso piquenique anual, do meio-dia às 16:00. Este evento é apenas para as famílias da PACA. Não há custo de ingresso. A escola oferecerá piquenique, jogos organizados para crianças e pais, brinquedos, atividades esportivas e muita diversão. 

 

Character First  

Character First é o Programa de Aprendizagem Socioemocional da PACA para alunos do Elementary.Os tópics que serão abordados com os alunos no programa do Character First ao longo deste ano letivo são: Confiabilidade, Criatividade, Determinação, Sabedoria e Generosidade.  

Iniciamos nosso primeiro tópico do Character First em 4 de agosto, com foco no tópico de Confiabilidade. Os alunos aprenderão que responsabilidade é "fazer o que eu disse que faria, mesmo quando for difícil". Durante cada sessão, os alunos do elementary participam de uma assembleia e de pequenos grupos. Durante a assembleia de 4 de agosto, os alunos aprenderam a história bíblica de Paulo e Timóteo (baseada em 2 Timóteo 2 e 4). O objetivo é que os alunos cresçam em seu relacionamento com Deus e em seus relacionamentos pessoais, conforme eles aprendem e praticam cada um dos traços neste processo. 

 

Testes MAP     

Todos os anos, os alunos do Kindergarten até o 8ª ano fazem o teste MAP (Measure of Academic Progress). Os alunos do Middle School (6th – 8th) farão os testes MAP na semana de 21 a 25 de agosto. Os alunos do ensino fundamental (Kindergarten-5º ano) farão os testes MAP de Leitura, Linguagem e Matemática nas semanas de 28 de agosto a 1º de setembro, 4 a 6 de setembro e 11 a 12 de setembro. Uma carta será encaminhada esta semana com mais informações e cronogramas de testes específicos para cada série. 

 

Horário de saída do Elementary & Supervisão Após o horário de aula   

Pais, por favor, sejam pontuais ao buscar seus alunos do Elementary em suas salas de aula até as 15:25 todas as tardes. Alunos do PreK ao 5º ano não devem permanecer no campus após as 15h25, a menos que estejam envolvidos em uma atividade supervisionada pela escola ou sob a supervisão direta de seus pais. 

 

Permissão para sair do campus
