Mission Statement

Portsmouth Christian Academy exists to honor God joyfully

by inspiring students to maximize their God-given potential.

Welcome to the 2021-2022 School Year

Dear Lower School Families,

Welcome to the 2021-2022 school year at Portsmouth Christian Academy! I am so excited to welcome each of

you to school in a few short weeks. This summer has provided a time of rest and relaxation for our

community, as well as opportunities to reflect on God’s goodness and mercy. As we prepare for a new school

year, we are eager to see your smiles, to hear the chatter in the classrooms, and to feel your contagious joy;

our school building is just not the same when the halls and classrooms don’t have you! And speaking of halls

and classrooms – the facility updates in the Junior High house look fantastic! Our oldest students in the Lower

School will come back to new floor, paint, lockers, and even better Wi-Fi access.

Please use this Quick Reference Guide to answer all your questions about procedures for the beginning of

school, dress code, school supplies, and the monthly scripture verses for the entire school year. If you find

yourself with unanswered questions, please call the Lower School Office or email me ([email protected])

or Mrs. Corso, Assistant Principal ([email protected]). You will also find "Start of School" information on

our website, www.pcaschool.org.

In addition to the Quick Reference Guide, we have provided a 1-page overview of changes made to the Lower

School Handbook, which is reviewed and signed during the enrollment process. The revisions made in the

handbook support the changing uses of technology and Enhanced Hybrid Learning at our school; the updated

handbook can be found in its entirety in the Parent Portal of Veracross.

This school year, our Bible theme verse is Matthew 5:16:

“In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to

your Father who is in heaven.”

As a community of believers, we have an opportunity to Be a Light and spread peace in a world that needs the

healing and restoration that comes through knowing the Lord. Our ability to share shalom rests on learning

from God’s Word. Our core value focus is Biblical Integrity, which is defined as “actions and attitudes

consistent with biblical teaching.” In Bible class, chapel, and opening exercises, we will explore the Bible to

discover how to make our lights shine bright, so God can be glorified. Throughout the year, I encourage each

of you to think about and discuss as a family our theme verse, Matthew 5:16.

Again, welcome to a new school year, and may the Lord bless you and keep you,

Carrie

What are the Arrival/Dismissal Procedures?

Morning Arrival

Note: As the health situation evolves, our arrival procedures are subject to change. Any changes will be clearly communicated

to parents and students in advance.

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 bus 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-8

grade) should arrive in time to begin class at 8:10 but students are preferred to arrive by 8:00.

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 K-8 in the gymnasium at 8:00 for Opening Exercises and then escort them to their

classrooms. We consider Opening Exercises to be an important part of the day. The focus is on the monthly virtue, and prayer

sets the tone of the day for the school.

Late/Tardy

Students in Grades K-8 are marked tardy if they arrive after 8:10. Late-arriving families will be asked to park and walk their

children into the main entrance. Parents will need to park and walk students into the main entrance, where the receptionist

will enter attendance before sending students to class. The check-in process for late arrivals will take more time than an on-

time arrival; we encourage families to arrive on-time!

7 | P a g e

Afternoon Dismissal

Dismissal numbers for students in K – 5 will be called beginning at 3:00 and ending at 3:20. Students in K – 5 who have not

been dismissed by 3:20 will be released to Aftercare.

Students in K – 5 will be dismissed from the upper loop and exit the building from the center 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 taken to Aftercare at 3:30.

If you are picking up students from both K – 5 and JH, 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.

If a student needs to be dismissed early, please do so by 2:30. This allows time for the Receptionist and Lower School Office to

prepare for normal dismissal routines. The Main lobby will close to parents at 2:45pm to clear the area for a safe and

healthy dismissal; all parents will need to pick-up students through the dismissal line process.

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.

8 | P a g e

Other Campus Rules

• Your carpool number must be displayed in the car windshield (passenger’s side) 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 carpool

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.

• Please move as far forward 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 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.

• 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 carpool 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 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.

• 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.

• 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.

When an early dismissal is necessary, parents may ask the Receptionist to call for students to meet at their designated

House door, send in an early dismissal note to the teacher or call the office. Early dismissals need to occur by 2:30pm.

Additional Information for Parents

Kaleidoscope – After School Workshops

Families have the option to enroll students in a small group class that teaches skills outside of the traditional academic

curriculum. Some of our favorite offerings include taekwon do, robotics, pottery, origami, tennis, basketball, dodgeball, music

groups, and so many more! Most classes meet for 30 minutes once a week for the entire length of the quarter. However,

there are many other options that extend past school, as alternatives to the aftercare program. When classes are over,

students are escorted to where they await your arrival for afterschool pick-up.

Kaleidoscope – Academic Enrichment & Support

Kaleidoscope Enrichment Programs offer a variety of solutions to help provide additional challenge or academic

support. 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 he/she needs. If your child exhibits more critical needs, we also offer

occupational therapy and speech therapy to help him/her thrive here in our community.

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.

Microwave Use and Purchasing Snacks: We ask parents to send lunch and snack options that do not need heating, as

microwaves will not be accessible within Lower School Houses at this time in the school year. Families are encouraged to

use a Thermos to keep food warm until lunchtime. Additionally, snacks will not be available for purchase through the Lower

School Office.

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 chaperone field trips, help in the library, deliver lunches, decorate or bake for special events,

serve with our maintenance crew, 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, Summer Heath, uses the information provided to match your interests, gifts, and

availability with our current volunteer opportunities. Please be advised, a background check and Code of Ethics Form, must be

completed prior to volunteering. For more information regarding our Volunteer Service Program, please contact Summer

Heath at sheath@pcaschool.org.

10 | P a g e

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 try 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), is broadcasted over regional radio stations, 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

WCSH TV ME channel 6

WBZ TV MA MA channel 4

Website www.pcaschool. org

Virtual Day

When the forecast indicates a strong probability for the need to cancel school, students will be assigned virtual work

through Office 365 Teams and Veracross. This virtual work is designed to help the student continue learning while at

home if school is cancelled; therefore this assigned work is NOT optional and will be will considered incomplete until

turned in.

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

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.

Two-hour Delay Procedure and Schedule

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.

11 | P a g e

Schedule for 2-hour delay

The PCA bus will run on a two-hour delay.

9:15 Before Care Opens

9:45 Arrival Begins

10:00 K-8 Opening Exercises (in classrooms, virtual)

10:10 K-8 Classes Begin

What do I do if my child cannot attend school?

When your child cannot attend school, please let us know via the PCA Lower School Absence Hotline at 603-742-3617,

ext.112. You may be prompted to give symptoms in order for us to fulfill our commitment to the NH Department of

Health in tracking flu symptoms.

For long-term absences or temporary offsite absences, see the Attendance policies in the Lower School Family Handbook

on Veracross under ‘Parent’ portal.

Dress Code

General Philosophy

We believe that a student’s individuality is more properly expressed by what he or she does and believes than by what is

worn. In short, the heart of the child is far more important than how one chooses to adorn one’s body. Neatness, good

grooming and modest fashions are appropriate in a school that encourages students to focus attention on more

meaningful matters than the latest fashions. The purpose of this dress code is to offer the students several options of

comfortable, attractive and reasonably priced clothing that will reflect well on the students and the school. We do not

want extremes, and we do not want students testing the limits of the policy. The key to the dress code is the fit and style

of the clothing. Variations from the required style are not acceptable. Our suggestion is to err on the side of conservative

dress, hairstyle and clothing accessories. When in doubt, please ask the dress code question before the item in question

is worn to school.

21-22 Facial Covering/Mask Dress Code

If/when students wear masks during the school year, parents are asked to provide masks for their students. If a

student forgets his/her mask, the school will provide a disposable one.

Please follow these guidelines when purchasing or making cloth facial coverings/masks for your student(s):

• An approved facial covering/mask covers both the nose and mouth — face shields are not approved substitutes.

• Neck gaiters can be used as masks, if there are at least 2 layers of cloth and the gaiter can cover both the nose and

mouth at the same time.

• We recommend each student own 3-5 masks, with one mask kept in a backpack or locker as a back-up if needed.

• PCA is not requiring a specific color, style, pattern, or brand.

• Masks that could be a distraction to learning are prohibited — this includes slogans, overtly-distracting styles,

political statements, anything violent, or prints that do not align with PCA’s mission, statement of faith, or Core

Values.

Concept

This dress code policy contains information concerning the acceptable styles, colors and combinations of clothing for

males and females. Students are free to choose from several options contained on the clothing chart unless it is a “dress

up” day (e.g., chapel, graduation, award ceremonies) or “casual” day (e.g., Spirit Week, certain field trips).

Dress code charts may also be accessed on PCA’s website.

12 | P a g e

Policy Enforcement

The faculty and principals are the sole arbiters of the dress code policy. When students in grades kindergarten through

eighth are determined to be in violation of the dress code, an email notification will be made home to inform the

parent(s)/guardian(s) of the infraction. When three email notifications have been made, any future infractions will

require the parent to bring to school the proper dress code item(s). Continued noncompliance may result in more

significant action. Suggestions or questions concerning the policy should be brought to the attention of the Assistant

Principal.

Portsmouth Christian Academy Dress Code

Where do I buy dress code clothing?

Land’s End (www.landsend.com/pp/SchoolSearch.html?action=landing&selectedSchoolNum=900027376) and

JCPenney’s (www.jcp.com) are the only approved school uniform vendors for PCA. Items may not be purchased

elsewhere with the exception of some PE clothing.

When going to the Land’s End site, enter PCA’s Preferred School Number, 900027376. Then enter your child’s age and

gender, no other identifying personal information is necessary.

“Boy’s” or “Men’s” sizes are acceptable.

“Girl’s” or “Women’s” sizes are acceptable.

Nor do people light a lamp and put it

And an angel of

the Lord shone around them, and they were

filled with great fear.

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.

For unto you is born this day in the

city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.

And this will be a sign for you: you will find

a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and

lying in a manger.”

And suddenly there

was with the angel a multitude of the

heavenly host praising God and saying,

“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth

peace among those with whom he is

pleased!”

Have this mind among

yourselves, which is yours in
