No School for PK and Kindergarten

Preschool parents, a letter went home on March 2 informing that there will be no school for PK1 and PK2 students (only) on April 16 and 17.
Kindergarten parents, a letter went home on March 2 informing that there will be no school for Kindergarten students (only) on April 23 and 24.
 


Student ID Card – Half Price Tickets

According to Federal Decree 8537, in order for a student to have the right to the benefit of half-price tickets at cultural and sporting events, he/she must present a government approved student ID card, known as  Carteira de Identificação Estudantil (CIE). This is required at the moment of the purchase of tickets and at the entrance of the venue where the event will be held. In order to be considered valid, the CIE must have been issued by student unions, such UNE, Ubes or UMES. Parents, to find out more about the official student ID card that allows your child to pay half price at the movies, theater, etc., and how to request a CIE, visit the websites for UNE, Ubes or SPTrans (it is possible to request a public bus card – Bilhete Único – associated with the official student ID card benefits). The International Student Identity Card – ISIC, issued by STB, is not valid for the half price benefit. UMES, the secondary students’ union, left some application forms for their government approved student ID card in the main office; their card costs R$ 25. If you are interested, please pick up an application with Marcia Teixeira or Annelise Liu by next Friday.

Please be aware that this is a school day. Teachers will take attendance.  If students are absent on April 14, they will be required to make up the practice test on April 16 in the morning.  
 
There is an alternative.   On April 14, the official ACT will be administered in São Paulo,  at Graded, Bandeirantes and other venues.   If your child signs up to take the official ACT, he/she will need to bring a copy of the registration/admission ticket to Mrs. Kuhnast, so they are excused from taking the practice exam at PACA that Saturday.
