Dear Parents,
Welcome to The Parents’ Association of The Children’s Academy (PACA). PACA offers each family the opportunity to become more involved in their child’s experience at The Academy. Through the combination of parental teamwork and the annual fees collected, PACA provides extracurricular activities for all of our children to enjoy throughout the school year. Fees for a full year are $75 annually, due each June and $45 for those students starting in January, payable upon their start date.
Over the course of the year, PACA will keep you informed of its meetings and activities via the emailed Friday Flyer as well as through back pack inserts. A current sampling of PACA sponsored endeavors include:
• Enrollment directories for each student
• Holiday gifts, treats and activities, generally including a craft project and/or handmade gift by each student to take home
• Holiday gifts presented by PACA to each teacher and to The Academy
• Special in-school presentations, 2010-11 to include The Lizard Guys, A Mad Science/Dinosaur presentation and a Health & Safety Puppet show, among other smaller presentations.
• A keepsake for each graduating student
• Parental community building gatherings such as the Welcome Tea, Parents’ Night & other ad hoc get togethers.
• Refreshments for special events and group gatherings throughout the year.
This is our association to enrich The Children’s Academy as a whole; therefore any level of participation is always greatly appreciated. We look forward to meeting all new parents and welcoming back those of returning students.
