On Saturday, October 20, all 10th and 11th graders need to be at PACA to take the PSAT. The PSAT is the practice exam for the SAT, which is the most widely accepted college entrance exam in the United States. The PSAT is the best way for students to practice the SAT and understand how they can focus their efforts and study habits. Students must arrive by 8 a.m. and should bring pencils and calculators. This day is considered a school day, and attendance is required.

On the same day, the seniors that are part of the Brazilian curriculum will take the practice ENEM. Attendance is also mandatory.

Testing for both groups will be over between 12 and 1 p.m.

 


Walkathon

Parents and students, tie up your shoes and stretch your leg muscles. The Walkathon 2012 will happen on Friday, October 5. The Walkathon 2012 has a different focus this year. Instead of raising money for a school project, we are looking to help others. Keeping in mind our theme for the year of clothing ourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience, we are challenging our student to show compassion and kindness by raising money for worthy causes. The elementary students will help raise funds to buy milk formula for Casa Limiar. The middle school students will help raise funds for Lar Efrata. The high school students will help raise funds to help Casa Semear remodel a “favela” home in Jardim São Jorge. Get ready to walk!

 


Campus Closed

Our school campus will be closed this Saturday, October 6, due to the SAT exam that will be offered at PACA that day.

Pre-K - 12th grade parents, Parent, Teacher, Student (PTS) conferences will take place next Wednesday, October 10. Attendance is required for all parents and for students in grades 2-12.If you have not set up your conferences, please contact the school office at 5929-9500 as soon as possible. After the conferences, we ask that all parents report to the computer lab, located in our high school wing, to take an important survey, which is part of PACA’s accreditation requirements.

No School

There will be no school on Friday, October 12, due to the national holiday.

ACSI Student Festival

Walkathon

Pais e alunos, preparem-se: amarrem os seus tênis e comecem a fazer alongamento! O Walkathon 2012 acontecerá nesta sexta-feira, dia 5 de outubro. O Walkathon tem um foco diferente este ano. Em vez de arrecadar dinheiro para um projeto da escola, queremos ajudar os necessitados. Lembrando da divisa de fé deste ano (“revistam-se de profunda compaixão, bondade, humildade, mansidão e paciência,”) desafiamos nossos alunos a demonstrarem compaixão e bondade ao arrecadar fundos para boas causas. Os alunos do Elementary levantarão fundos para ajudar a Casa Limiar a comprar leite. Os alunos do middle school abençoarão o Lar Efrata. Os alunos do high school ajudarão a arrecadar dinheiro para ajudar a Casa Semear a reformar uma casa numa favela do Jardim São Jorge. Preparem-se para caminhar!
