Welcome to the 2016-17 School Year

The Joy of Learning

When writing our Strategic Plan, we added to our list of Core Values, joy and curiosity. During this school year, we are going to focus on these two new values.

Philippians 4:8 states, 8 “Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about

these things.” This is where joy begins, in the heart and mind, knowing that the Lord is in control of all things.

In addition, there is a significant body of research that indicates there is joy in learning when certain conditions exist. These include the following:

Choice

Challenge

Chance for Success

Curiosity

Learning will always be work and there will always be a tendency to avoid the cognitive load that comes from real thinking, but there is also reward. Teachers will be studying and implementing visible thinking strategies throughout this school year that are designed to promote these four conditions that improve student joy in learning.

These strategies fit well with the Concept-based curriculum design model that was begun last year and you will see more of these units around the school.

Finally, we are creating a “Make-It Space.” Teachers have created some new problem-based engineering units in science that are designed to spur curiosity and creativity. In addition, we hope to have some Kaleidoscope offerings that build on the joy of learning based on real-life problems and problem-solving strategies.

Blessings on you all as you continue to enjoy the summer time with your family!

What does the school day look like?

7:00 Before Care Opens

7:55 Arrival (students arrive at gym

with no charge)

8:05 K-8 Opening Exercises

8:10 K-8 Dismissed to Classrooms

8:20 See Student Schedules from Teacher

2:45 End of Classes (K-5)

2:55 K-5 Dismissal

3:20 End of Classes (6-8)

3:20 K-5 Dismissal Ends

(Students remaining in the

Classroom will be taken to After Care)

3:20 Dismissal of All JH Students

K-8 Bus Students called to load from Gymnasium

3:30 JH Students released to After Care

3:30 PCA Buses Depart

5:45 Aftercare Closes

What are the Arrival/Dismissal Procedures?

Morning Arrival When arriving by car, the driver is asked to enter the loop and proceed to the gymnasium lobby entrance where student passengers may be discharged. Students are asked to enter the gymnasium lobby and proceed directly to the gym to join their class for Opening Exercises*. When arriving by bus, the buses will park near the gym annex and discharge students to the gymnasium. Students are asked to enter the gymnasium door and proceed directly to join their class line for Opening Exercises*. *All students (K-8th grade) should arrive in time to begin class at 8:20. Individuals who are arriving, but are not involved in student drop-off, please enter the parking lot via the access road, park and walk to the main building, entering the building through the center door. Loop parking will not be available during arrival and dismissal times. Teachers will join students in grades kindergarten through grade eight in the gymnasium at 8:05 for Opening Exercises and then escort them to their classrooms. We consider Opening Exercises to be an important part of the day, because this focus on the monthly virtue and prayer sets the tone of the day for the school.

10 | P a g e

Afternoon Dismissal Dismissal numbers for students in K – 5 will be called beginning at 2:55 and ending at 3:20. Students in K – 5 who have not been dismissed by 3:20 will be escorted to aftercare. Students in K – 5 will be dismissed from the upper loop. Students in K – 2 will exit the building from the center doors, and students in 3 – 5 will exit the building from the gymnasium lobby doors. All Junior High students (grades 6 - 8) will be dismissed from their last class at 3:20 and will exit the building from the Junior High wing at 3:20 – 3:25. Any Junior High students who have not been picked up by 3:30 will be escorted to aftercare at 3:30. If you are picking up students from both K – 5 and JH, please arrive at the K – 5 upper loop dismissal at 3:20. You can then instruct your Junior High student to join you there. If you arrive earlier, please pick up your K-5 student and then proceed to the lower loop for your Junior High student so that the Upper Loop does not get blocked for other parents.

Late/Tardy Students in grades (K-8) are marked tardy if they arrive after 8:20am. The receptionist will issue a tardy slip. We ask that parents strongly resist chronic tardiness. This sets up a life pattern for students and precludes them from the goal-setting part of the day. In addition, this morning time is designed to help students mentally organize their day. One can think of it as the difference between traveling with a GPS and driving forward with only a hope that it is the right road.

Traffic Patterns We ask that drivers adhere to the traffic flow diagram below to ensure the safety of all children. Automobiles parked in the restricted areas pose a safety threat. The following diagram indicates the traffic pattern to follow:

A. Driveway for buses, morning drop-off, upper loop student dismissal (K-5)

B. Parking entrance for staff, visitors and driveway for lower loop student dismissal (JH)

C. Staff and Visitor Parking

D. Exit for staff, visitors, and lower loop student dismissal

E. Handicap Parking area

F. During upper loop Arrival and Dismissal, move forward to gym doors.

Notes: 1. AM entrance for bus and carpool students (K-8)

2. Building entrance/exit for faculty, visitors and ALL late/early dismissal students

3. If cars are backing up on Seaborne Drive, you will be asked to drive to the lower loop entrance and line up on the exit road

LL Holding line for lower loop

UL Holding line for upper loop

11 | P a g e

Other Campus Rules Your carpool number must be displayed in the car windshield during dismissal (available during Open House or sent to

you via your youngest child’s teacher.

Please enter upper loop only after having given the carpool number to the caller (at the top of the hill). Through car pool numbers, teachers will be notified that you are arriving and will send the student out to the loading area.

Cars should park in the parking lot; parked cars in the loop prevent safe and efficient dismissal movement.

Please move as far forward to the gymnasium doors as possible and we will bring your child(ren) to you. This allows us to safely place several students in cars at the same time, thus reducing wait time.

Please do not get out of your car. Staff will help your child load the car and buckle their seatbelt and access the trunk.

Please do not attempt to pass cars on Seaborne, unless directed by staff. Passing on this road unexpectedly places two cars going in opposite directions in the same lane and endangers people. In order to facilitate our bus schedule, we may move buses past cars, but only the traffic monitor, who can see all ongoing traffic, will direct this as safety permits.

Call the school office if a non-parent/guardian will pick up your child. K-5 students will not, for any reason, be dismissed to drivers who do not have the correct dismissal number. When a driver without the correct number requests to dismiss a student, the driver will be asked to park in the parking lot and wait for the school to contact a parent of the child. The wait for contact to be made may be lengthy or unproductive.

Parking should be in designated areas only. We have been blessed with a beautiful campus so, in order to maintain its beauty, we ask that no one parks on grassy areas

Avoid entering riverbank and river in order to ensure student safety. Violation of this rule may result in immediate expulsion from the school.

Avoid opening or propping doors. To ensure safety, all students and adults are to use the monitored entrances of the school. No one should open a perimeter door or prop the door for entry in any other area at any time of day.

Late arriving (tardy) students enter through the main entrance and report to the receptionist or designated person.

All guests and visitors are to enter through the main entrance, sign in with the receptionist and obtain/wear a “Visitor” tag for the duration of their visit, so that adults in the building recognize safety procedures have been followed. Please sign out and return the Visitor pass when departing. This allows the accounting for all people in an emergency.

Students are to only enter rooms that have adult supervision. This excludes restrooms.

When passing through halls, please move quietly in order to not disturb learning.

Children should use age-appropriate playgrounds (preschoolers use preschool playground; K-5 use elementary playground; JH students use fields)

Parents are asked not to go to classrooms at arrival and dismissal. Because these are periods when transitions must be monitored carefully, the teacher needs to place full attention on his or her students.

Parents may ask the Receptionist to call for students to come to the lobby, send in an early dismissal note to the teacher or call the office.

Additional Information for Parents?

Kaleidoscope – Before and Aftercare Before care (7:00-7:55) takes place in the gym and gym annex. Drop your child off at the upper loop and escort him/her into the gym. Students can play games with friends, or participate in our Happy Feet walking program. Students can earn medallions for walking certain distances and we can track our progress throughout the year! Aftercare (3:30-5:45) takes place in our Multi-Purpose Room (MPR) in the lower level of the school. Students enjoy recess outside when the weather is favorable and play games and other activities in our open space. Our rate for morning and

12 | P a g e

aftercare is $6.75 per hour per child billed in 30-minute increments. There is no need to pre-register or sign up! If your child is not picked up by the last call (3:20), he/she will be escorted to the MPR by our staff. There is a surcharge for anyone picked up after 5:45pm. The surcharge is $10.00 for the first 10 minutes and then $1.00 for every minute thereafter.

Kaleidoscope – After School Discovery Classes During the school’s dismissal period from 2:50-3:20, you have the option to enroll your child in a small group class that teaches skills outside of the traditional academic curriculum. On average, we offer over 25 different classes during each of the four academic quarters in the school year. Some of our favorites are karate, educational games, origami, soccer, basketball, dodge ball, music groups, and so many more! Most classes meet for 30 minutes once a week for entire length of the quarter. When classes are over, students are escorted to the back lobby where they await your arrival during afternoon dismissal.

Kaleidoscope – Academic Enrichment & Support Kaleidoscope Enrichment Programs offer a variety of solutions to help your child manage the expectations of a college preparatory school. Whether the need is 1-on-1 tutoring in a subject, or some help developing organizational and time-management skills, our staff is willing and able to lend the help that they need. Private tutoring is available at a rate of $35.00 per hour. If your child exhibits more critical needs, we also offer occupational therapy and speech therapy to help him/her

thrive here in our community. We partner with Dynamic Learning Solutions, a local not for profit organization that employs highly qualified individuals who are trained to meet the diverse needs of our student body from pre-school through high school.

Kaleidoscope – Private Music Lessons Our staff of highly qualified music teachers offer private lessons throughout the school year on campus at Portsmouth Christian Academy. Students may take lessons during free periods, lunch and recess periods, or before and after school depending on your schedule. Please contact our Kaleidoscope Coordinator for rates.

Lunch Program PCA has arranged with several local restaurants to provide lunches to our students which parents may purchase on a quarterly basis throughout the school year. This provides an alternative to packing a lunch each day for your child.

Volunteer Opportunities There are many opportunities for each family to be connected within the PCA community through the Volunteer Service Program. Whether you choose to deliver lunches, decorate or bake for special events, serve with our maintenance crew, help with the yearbook, or utilize your skills in another way, you will undoubtedly find a way to be involved in your child’s education.

The “Volunteer Service Program” will be sending out a survey through email for you to fill out before the start of school. Our Volunteer Coordinator, Jodi Karnes, uses the information provided to match your interests, gifts, and availability with our current volunteer opportunities. For more information regarding our Volunteer Service Program, please contact Jodi Karnes at [email protected] or 603-742-3617 ext. 119.

Veracross All PCA families have a Veracross account. This is our school database that allows parents access to their children’s assignments, grades and attendance records. In addition, parents can sign up and pay for programs such as lunch and kaleidoscope classes. Veracross also provides access to the family directory and PCA’s event calendar. Instructions and passwords for accessing Veracross through the web are emailed to new families. Returning families can learn more about Veracross at http://www.veracross.com. A quick link to the Veracross login can be found on PCA’s website in the upper right hand corner.

What happens when school is cancelled or my child can’t come to school?

Severe Weather/School Cancellations We know that any change to routine is disruptive and have tried to minimize cancellations and late openings. However, PCA is somewhat unique in that our student body is drawn from forty different communities located in three states and many arrive in privately owned vehicles.

After listening to local radio and television stations, consulting people in the affected areas and, in some cases, calling the State Police and Public Works personnel, the Head of School will make a decision that is believed to be in the best interest of the majority of the school population. When the decision to cancel school is made, the announcement is posted on PCA’s website (www.pcaschool.org), and appears on local television stations. This broadcast is rarely later than 6:00 AM. We recommend that you tune in on days when a delay or closing is anticipated. In addition, a phone alert goes to the provided numbers of all students, faculty and staff members.

While, in making our decision regarding cancellation, we consider both major and secondary roads in our entire catchment area, each parent is encouraged to decide for himself or herself if the trip from home to school is safe.

Sources of information on delays or cancellations WMUR TV NH channel 9

WCSH TV ME channel 6

WBZ TV MA MA channel 4

Website www.pcaschool. org

LS PCA Virtual Day When the forecast indicates a strong probability for the need to cancel school, students will be sent home with a

“Blizzard Bag.” The material in the bag is designed to help the student continue learning while at home if school is cancelled.

Activities may include the following:

Reading and responding to content material

Reinforcement of math skills to improve mastery

Science projects, particularly relating to the storm

Writing assignments

Make-up work (perhaps)

The amount of time spent on these assignments should not exceed three hours and, while parents may assist, the work is intended to be done with a relative degree of independence. Students not completing the work of the school day, as outlined in the Blizzard Bag, will be counted “absent.”

Two-hour Delay Procedure Whenever appropriate, PCA will announce a two-hour delay on days when the weather is questionable. This choice gives us time to evaluate the severity of the storm, and it also gives the public transportation department the time to clear and salt the roads, allowing for a safer commute. Buses will run on a two-hour delay; please be at the Bus Stop early.

Schedule for 2-hour delay PCA buses will run on a two-hour delay, but Dover buses will run according to the Dover schedule; please watch for Dover delays and be at the Bus Stop early.

Memory Verses 2016-2017 Theme Verse for the Year: Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. Philippians 4:8

Month Core Value Reference Scripture Honors Scripture

September Brotherhood John 3:16-18 Honors: 1John 4:7-8

16 “For God so loved the

world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

17 For God

did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.

18 Whoever believes in

him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. John 3:16-18

7 Beloved, let us love

one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God.

8 Anyone who does

not love does not know God, because God is love. 1John 4:7-8

October Truth Psalms 86:10-12 Honors: John 8: 31b-32

10 For you are great and do

wondrous things; you alone are God.

11 Teach me your

way, O LORD, that I may walk in your truth; unite my heart to fear your name.

12 I give

thanks to you, O Lord my God, with my whole heart, and I will glorify your name forever. Psalms 86:10-12

31 …“If you abide in my

word, you are truly my disciples,

32 and you

will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” John 8: 31b-32

November Honorable Philippians 4:4-7 Honors: Philippians 2:14,15

4 Rejoice in the Lord always;

again I will say, rejoice. 5

Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand;

6 do not be anxious

about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.

7 And the

peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:4-7

14 Do all things without

grumbling or disputing, 15

that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, Philippians 2:14,15

24 | P a g e

December Just Luke 2:10 – 14 Honors: Psalms 1:1-2

10 And the angel said to them,

“Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. 11

For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.

12 And

this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.”

13 And suddenly

there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, 14

“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!” Luke 2:10 – 14

1 Blessed is the man

who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers;

2 but

his delight is in the law

of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night. Psalms 1:1-2

January Pure Philippians 1:9-11 Honors: Ephesians 4:29

9 And it is my prayer that your

love may abound more and more, with knowledge and all discernment,

10 so that you

may approve what is excellent, and so be pure and blameless for the day of Christ,

11 filled with the fruit of

righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God. Philippians 1:9-11

29Do not let

unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. Ephesians 4:29

February Lovely Psalms 86:1-5 Honors: Psalms 84: 10

1Incline your ear, O LORD, and

answer me, for I am poor and needy.

2 Preserve my life, for I

am godly; save your servant, who trusts in you—you are my God.

3 Be gracious to me, O

Lord, for to you do I cry all the day.

4 Gladden the soul of

your servant, for to you, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.

5 For

you, O Lord, are good and forgiving, abounding in steadfast love to all who call upon you. Psalms 86:1-5

10Better is one day in

your courts than a thousand elsewhere; I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked. Psalms 84:10

March Commendable Psalms 19:1-5 Honors: Philippians 4:8

The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above

proclaims his handiwork. 2

Day to day pours out speech, and night to night reveals knowledge.

3 There is no

speech, nor are there words, whose voice is not heard. 4

Their voice goes out through

all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them he has set a tent for the sun,

5 which comes out like a

bridegroom leaving his chamber, and, like a strong man, runs its course with joy. Psalms 19:1-5

8 Finally, brothers,

whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. Philippians 4:8

April Excellent Romans 5:6-8 Honors: 1 John 3:16

6 For while we were still weak,

at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.

7 For one will

scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die—

8 but God shows

his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:6-8

This is how we know what love is; Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. 1 John 3:16

May Praiseworthy Psalms 8:3-5, 9 Honors: Luke 19:40

3 When I look at your heavens,

the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,

4 what is

man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him?

5 Yet you

have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor.

9 O LORD, our Lord,

how majestic is your name in all the earth! Psalms 8:3-5, 9

I tell you, if [the disciples] keep quiet, the stones will cry out. Luke 19:40
