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: Responsibility, Discretion, Honesty, Flexibility, and Enthusiasm. 

We will begin our first Character First rotation of the year on August 19, focused on the topic of Responsibility.  


Students will learn that responsibility is “taking ownership of my thoughts, words, and actions”.  


During each rotation, Elementary students participate in an assembly and small groups. As students learn and practice important characteristics, our 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. Elementary students (Kindergarten-5th Grade) will take MAP tests in Reading, Language, & Math during the weeks of August 22-26 and August 29 - September 2. Middle School students will take MAP tests the week of September 5-9.  

 

 

 

 

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

 

Vestibular

Students will be able to check out during recess and while the library is open.  


Parents can check out when visiting the library or by putting books on hold in Destiny, the virtual library catalog, and as soon as it's sorted, we will email them to pick up the book at the library.  


To return the books, parents can drop them off at the front desk or directly at the library. 

Important: the bin to drop off the books at the front gate is no longer available.

Character First  

Charcter First é o Programa de Aprendizagem Socioemocional da PACA para alunos do Elementary.


Os tópicos que serão abordados este ano com os alunos são: Responsabilidade, Discrição, Honestidade, Flexibilidade e Entusiasmo. 


Iniciaremos nosso primeiro tópico do Character First do ano no dia 19 de agosto, focado no tema Responsabilidade. 


Os alunos aprenderão que responsabilidade é o "tomar posse de meus pensamentos, palavras e ações". 


Durante cada sessão, os alunos participam de uma assembleia e pequenos grupos para aprender e praticar importantes traços de caráter relacionados ao tema.  

Nosso 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    

A cada ano, os alunos do Kindergarten até o 8º ano fazem o teste MAP (Measure of Academic Progress - Avaliação do Desempenho Acadêmico). Os alunos do ensino fundamental (Kindergarten ao 5º ano) farão o teste MAP em Leitura, Idioma e Matemática durante as semanas de 22 a 26 de agosto e 29 de agosto a 2 de setembro. Os alunos do ensino médio farão o teste MAP na semana de 5 a 9 de setembro.

Permissão para sair do Campus   

Os alunos só serão permitidos sair desacompanhados da escola, de UBER, taxi ou outro meio, através da autorização dos pais por escrito para a escola para o email [email protected].

Os alunos poderão fazer empréstimos durante o intervalo e enquanto a biblioteca estiver aberta.   


Os pais podem fazer empréstimos quando vierem à biblioteca ou colocando os livros em “hold” no Destiny (catálogo virtual da biblioteca), e assim que estiver separado, enviaremos um e-mail para que possam retirá-lo.   


Para devolver os livros, os pais podem deixá-los na recepção ou diretamente na biblioteca.
