Updating Information

At the beginning of each school year, PACA asks parents to fill out a student information sheet and a medical form for each student. The information requested is extremely important for student safety. On July 22, parents received an e-mail with a link containing the new online forms. This email was sent to parents last week as well. Parents who have not updated their family’s information will receive the email again today. Please fill out forms for each of your children by Friday, August 5. The school will not send hard copies of the forms home. 
 


Student ID cards
